Slide name?

RothToAnExtent · 07-07-2008, 02:05 PM

I was just wondering about the technical name of this one slide I've been doing so when I describe it to people in the crew that want to get out sliding with me, I don't have to tell them, "I'm able to do that thing that's like a flatspin 360, but not really."

What's it called when you pull a flatspin 180 and instead of going around for another flatspin 180, you pull it into a toeside 180. So flatspin 180 straight into toeside 180.

whats a flatspin 180?

post pics or video, it sounds like a frontside 3 to me.

It's another term for pressure slides. I just always used that term with my buds.

ehh, flatspin would be for something like 540's and over, if it's a 180 then it sounds like a pendy
get a video though im having trouble visualizing

alright i think i understand what you're describing. how about.... a flatspin pendy?

i dunno, ya can't really call it a rewind since it's not the same trick both ways

i'm liking the sounds of "pressure spin pendulum". that gets my vote

Just a really short flatspin?
Like you start to start a flatspin then exit out of it?

Oh sorry, ya I kinda sounded a little confusing there. I mean 180 then transition past the 180 point by doing a quick toeside 180. Almost like a flatspin 180 and a 180 toeside transition, all in the same direction.

ummm...i think u just described a frontside 360, is the toeside 180 done switch? that would help me picture it

Cranks · 07-08-2008, 10:31 AM

its a heelside 180 (half a coleman) followed by a switch toeside 180, in the same direction. (half a pendy)

thats a frontside 360.

sounds like you're just talking about a heelside 180 in surrender slide postition, then doing a switch 360 out.

Is it fun? Who cares what it's called!?

Just because it's fun doesn't mean I don't have the right to ask the name. Hahaha but yes, it's very fun none the less.

But ya, frontside 360, that sounds about right.

The right to ask the name? Come off it. I'm just asking why it matters...
