Has this been done?

**Pintail4ever** · 02-23-2005 05:15 PM

I was messing around on my longboard in the spring and thought up what I call a can-can, basically while rolling you put your leading hand (So I ride right foot forward so I put my right hand) on the deck over the front trucks (Or wherever is comfotable) and lean on your hand and kneel then kick out your front foot and when you birng it back hop and kick out your back foot and land with your back foot sticking out and perched on your front foot, kinda like doing the can-can. If it's been done can someone tell me it's real name. thanks. I'll try to get a picture or film clip of it. For those who didn't get my obscure description.

i read that five times and then threw up, because i have no idea what you are talking about

Been drinkin' your avatar again Veg? I understand, and tricks are called whatever you want to call them, assuming you don't know better. Now I want to try a can can...

Wow, it's that unclear huh? Alright I'll try again, or would that cause violent spasms?

OK, try number two. I ride right foot forward remember that. You take your right hand and place it on the noseand then you bend your knees so you right foot is under you arse and your left foot is on the tail pointing the same way your tale is, then you take the weight off you right foot and hold it out over the rail, then you quickly bring your right foot back and stick your left foot out so you kind of hop and change your feet, you can switch feet over and over again and then you bring in the stuck out foot and stand up, I'll get a series of photos as soon as my camera works again.

Basically, like a judo, except then you switch feet. I've done a bunch of flatland judo variations on my shortboard, except I'm usually balancing on the truck when the board is vertical.

Cool, so you flip the board onto the deck for a flatland judo? And so that Super Veg can understand (assuming he still doesn't):

That's what I thought.

How come you look so upset?

You look like one o' them sad penguins.

**Pintail4ever** · 02-23-2005 07:35 PM

I found that last statement hilarius, one o-them sad penguins, classic, anywho, I dunno I find it hard to look happy when I'm in the middle of my parents bedroom floor on a stationary board, all the fun is in the moving of the long board, but toronto has to be an ass and snow and the like so I can't go outside and skate, so I am sad, and tired, very tired.

If theres one thing I've learned on SF for the year I've been here...

EVERYTHINGS BEEN DONE, you can't be original, why bother even trying

He's upset that he can't afford to buy trousers that fit..

And Directive is right (for once) there are no new ideas.

Well thats a hell of a downer then. I'm sure someone will figure something original out eventually.

and ironically you were right about the trouser remark, I accidentaly wore these home after dance class at school because you have to wear black and these were the only ones there so I wore these and forgot I had them on and left, and they're really comfy so I kept them.
