JSONBlind swap to blind 270.

Never heard this name for this trick but it is totally true, I can't even see the end of the rail and sometimes i pretz 270 too early or too late. #raycharleswitit

ellens are so easy once you learn unat front swap (which is really easy if you devote half an hour to hike a rail and learn unat tricks) and they are pretty cool to. I dident know they were called ellen though

Front swap front 2 could be the easiest combo out there. And they look really ugly IMO

Lol, no, it's so much easier to do the follow back 2 out for a k fed than it is to pretzel the other way.

I guess I can just never get the back 2 and therefore the front swap pretty 2 is easier for me because I can actually do it.

k-fed is way easier. you dont really need to be able to do unnatural all you have to do is continue the spin and just barely hit the end of the rail on the front swap to be able to do a k-fed

because you land switch on an ellen, or backwards, ellen backwards is nelle, which sounds like nelly. Nelly isn't all that great of a rapper but he's better than ice jj fish, and so I would put him in front of ice jj fish in a line up of rappers based on skill. since ellens involve front spins only and ellen backwards is nelly which is in front of ice jj fish, the only logical name for the trick is ellen. hope that cleared it up

Ray Charles. Can't do them, but trying to learn em. Ive got back swap switch out, and working on the blind 2 out. I find them more flowy then ellen's, and they are more difficult. Such a nice trick

I would say maybe work on the back change, don't even think about the spin off until you've back changed and locked back on the rail. the Britney will come right around when the b change is right.

start doing blind 2's by settling hard on dipping your front tip to initiate the rotation. that is the same motion you do with that last blind 270 with the only exception that in a blind to blind you have to be a bit more aggressive with it, and dont forget to look where you want to go - where youre head goes your body will follow.

It might almost be easier to learn 2 pretz 2 first to get the feeling of reversing your rotation, then throw in the blind swap.
