    I don’t understand why pressure flips are so hated on. It looks like the board starts to rotate out of nowhere and there is something very stylish/minimalist about that, I like the look of them.

      Well we had these types of skaters at school that required you to wear certain clothes, listen to certain music and so on.
      For me skateboarding was always about freeing myself from social norms and just having fun and pushing myself beyond my limits.

    • @wrelow
      @wrelow Год назад +27

      Its because no one can do them, so in the game of skate it would always be AAAA I HATE PRESSURES

    • @mikecooney23
      @mikecooney23 Год назад +15

      It’s because pressures aren’t done with the same technique that every other trick has. If you never do them, it’s like skating in a new terrible stance only few people care for.

      They mostly look like shit. It takes a lot of practice make them look ok. This is why you basically never see them in video parts.

    I remember when Eric Koston was kicked off the Tony Hawk tour for 'not trying' and 'looking effortless'
    Even tho he was doing insane tricks nobody else was.

    Once while riding to the skatepark, I decided to try a 360 pressure flip, and I landed it first try. I thought that was such a success that I just went home for that day. :D

  • @djjazzyjeff1232
    @djjazzyjeff1232 Год назад +6

    Impossible is probably one of my favorite trick because you remain in contact with it throughout the entire thing. Whereas some tricks look like you just huck it and hope the board flips around the right way and then you land on it, it can look disjointed. The impossible is kind of like that spin around your thumb thing you can do with a pen, and I just really like that aspect.

    • @SurprisedSynth88

      Casper flips and hospital flips are also foot wrap flip tricks

  • @penguinjay
    @penguinjay Год назад +23

    he redoes a trick if his hand sketches out a little or the clean landing looked like he was even slightly uncomfortable. Pro stuff. High dedication to redo landed tricks...it's cool to see his high standard.

    I'm so far removed from my childhood, when I was skating Eric was my Led Zeppelin. He was switch bluntsliding , nollie kicking all the spots and i missed everything you just showed me. He is great and you are as well, fucking killer skate scholar Giger!!

    I really like the way the pressure flips look. I am going to learn the different variations of these. Also when I was in highschool, 91-95, I thought the Ollie under flip was an Ollie impossible. Thanks for clarifying and I feel a little sheepish… lol Back then we didn’t have internet let alone you tube so we had to rely on magazines and VHS. Yes I am 45 lol. Man you’re attitude is awesome!! Keep skating brotha!!

    I was born March 7 1989 .. I've watched soo many skaters in my life time ... Including my father who was on the cover of skateboard mag in 1975 (Denis shufeldt) . But I have to tell to Jhonny... You are the best skater I've ever seen in my life. You have done everything in the trick book I could never do
    .. you have done all the tricks I dreamed of doing... I've met Rodney mullen at the skate board hall of Fame in Anaheim.. and witnessing you do his tricks and almost everything/ trick that's ever been cool 😎 .. man just wanna say .. if I met you , I would feel like I met every pro skater except tony hawk / bob burnquist

    I dig pressure flips. When you get good at them you can fake a lot of tricks. Does anyone know if there's a trick tip on pressure backside flip? Is it a pressure flip body varial or are you actually doing a back 180 pressure flip?

    Can I ask why they're called pressure heelflips? I kept watching in slow motion but still couldn't see where the heel came in like a normal Heelflip?
    Edit: Never mind, I saw it on the follow shot. Back foot heel with toes forward makes the board pop. Did I understand right?

      @crestfallen5638 Год назад

      I went to a skateshop today, and long story short, my lack of knowledge of boards, the input of the dude running the shop and my anxiety made me flee the scene without a board.. lol. I was very unsure about the size of the deck I should get, but I felt most comfortable with like a 7.75 size board cuz I'm like.. 5'8 and I felt like 8.0 or beyond were so wide I thought I'd never be able to flip them. And then the dude was like "yeah broader boards are more popular now, like kids will run 9.0s even."
      I think I worry too much about judgement. And I didn't wanna potentially "waste" 250 - 280$ on the "wrong" setup.

    11:29 Jonny is using the top of his foot to do the late half kickflip in the cancel heelflip, while the example footage he showed the guy uses the bottom of his foot. Bottom of the foot seems easier and more logical, not sure why jonny does it the other way
