Believe me, you're going to fail a LOT doing these. It took me so long to get to a point where I didn't stick getting through the first part of the trick that I thought it was never going to work.
Never could get the hang of regular switchblades but I too immediately wanted to learn this upon seeing Terry Synnott do it. (Also didn't know that it was called something as simple as "rolling switchblade;" I guess that makes more sense than "that kind of shuvity footwork thing Terry Synnott does")
I think the connection between the regular and rolling ones becomes more obvious when you finish the switchblade with the step over, turning it into the same motion as this. That's how I'd always tried to do it; I was a little surprised to see switchblades crop up as just the first half (a shuvit to switch footed tail stop, effectively).
That fast one looked so heckin sick! This one was very interesting to watch, i had no Idea that rolling switchblades existed. But i like doing regular ones and the other day at the Park I started playing with them rolling but with very blanck mind and after a while i started to regularely Land some kind of trick. First you Roll with a bit of flow, and then switchblade the board in front of you and the moment the board is forward and the tail hits the ground it gives you a bit of rebound to kind of riverdance/hippy jump back on without loosing speed. No Idea if that's already a legit thing or a happy accident, i suspect someone with your level coul make that look super buttery, or even find fucked up variations (wrapping a front foot impossible when you bash that tail on the ground is something that could be done ) But you're right once again, i'm going to have so much trouble learning the right way of doing rolling switchblades 😂😂😂
That's actually not too far from how Aaron Watts does his switchblades a lot of the time; it always weirds me out seeing people do the switchblade with that hop forward off the tail instead of doing the cross-legged unwind like I'm doing with the rolling one here. One common switchblade option is to do a cross-footed impossible (or cross-foot impossible to casper) after the tail's hit the ground - I'd be really impressed if someone could do that without stopping. I think my knee would explode if I tried it, personally.
@@FreestyleTricktips Well i learned the unwind version first and that's a motion i'm now confortable with, but trying to get used to jump back on the board more that's why it came that way. I'll try with the unwind next time might look smoother ! Well that sounds like a knee buster indeed ! But impossible are beyond my reach anyways for the time being 😂
Don't get too hung up on which way you're riding or which foot you do stuff off. This isn't street skating; a lot of freestylers default to doing certain tricks "the wrong way". Hell, I was skating with Don Brown on Sunday, and it turns out he's always done his caspers on the nose instead of the tail. No one really cares!
@@FreestyleTricktips Ah thats a relief! Honestly my nollie tricks suck haha, I'm trying to get into freestyle my foot is a little too messed up to handle high impact transition skating- so its nice to hear that some of the freestyle techniques are a bit more lenient! Stoked to get this one down, thanks for the video!
thank you for your hard work and spreading your knowledge. Cant wait to fail this one miserably :D

Hats off to your work, Tony! 🤠🧔🎩
Great work! Great footwork as well!

Hey! This might be a stupid question- but if I technically do these fakie (I guess in switch stance) would it still count as a switch blade?
