I learned backflips in the dark on a homemade booter and landed it the first time purely out of luck, then completely ate it the second time. So whats the first trick you ever learned

I'm ashamed to say it, but if cutting people off (unintentionally) then that would be my first trick

A 1, then stepped it up to a shifty 1.

How is that a trick? Did you get a feeling of accomplishment for unintentionally cutting people off?

I was doing super sketchy 3s last year but my first solid trick was the switch 180. Learned it this year and haven't fallen doing them yet. I learned 180s after that

I could do 50-50 forever but never really considered them a real trick. My first trick was a 180 and when I stomped I thought I was the shit.

.Frywtf is a zeach


A zeach is a rail grind that's in between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, in the term I used it, I was referring to not committing to a rail at a complete 90 degree angle, and shattering my ballsack
