Hey you may not remember me but you helped me with my pop shuvits I can now kickflip back 180 half cab boardslide and half cab half cab flip you have really helped me I am now a freshman in high school thank you so much for the support
I was just wondering if there were any good fakie guides after watching a few of your more recent videos and here you are in the past to help again! Really appreciating all your content as a 30+ born again skater. Helping loads.
It's great that you mentioned that tricks maintain the name as well as the tail and nose of the board. I thought that Popsicle boards were symmetrical, and I recently learned they're not. What would happen if I ride my board in my regular stance but with the tail in front? Is there a problem with that? is ollie harder to make? if not, why the difference then?
You're absolutely right, most 'popsicle' boards (like the one I'm riding in this video) are asymmetrical. I can tell you from personal experience however, that even though a majority of people respect what the manufacturer dictates is the nose and the tail of the board, you don't always have to (or even want to) skate your board just one of the two possible ways. The difference in the construction of most boards is that they are made so that the nose of the board has a slightly steeper concave. This enables advanced skaters to fine tune their tricks and give them an extra level of control when they need it. I personally COMPLETELY ignore what orientation my board is in, and treat both ends of the board the same (they eventually started to feel the same to me as well). This gives me, as an amateur, more power, because I am not limited in the tricks I can do by the direction my board is rotated. I can just jump on it and go without looking for visual cues on the griptape or hardware to make sure it's rotated correctly, and I don't have to waste time spinning it the right way. Additionally, it takes me twice as long to get razor tail because I skate both ends of the board equally :)
Good material. You're setting us beginner level skateboarders up with some mental mind game crap though. Can you do a tutorial on learning switch... or just both stances? Fakie ollie switch nollie, lopsided body, goofy foot stigma, etc. That stuff can get in your head. Rad video.
Surely pushing mongo in fakie makes sense because your pushing foot goes straight on the part of the board you need to pop? If you push with your back foot in fakie, you have to then shuffle your front foot onto the nose, which is exactly what makes pushing mongo in regular a bad idea.
Hi, love your videos. They have helped me a lot. However, I am struggling with speed wobbles. Do you suppose you can do a video on speed and controlling wobbles please?
No, you'd use nollie stance for that. Fakie stance would set you up to do a fakie ollie. and remember, in fakie stance, the leading part of the board is still referred to as the tail of the board, so even though it looks like what you'd think of as a nose ollie, it's something different.
Just what I needed! However, one quick question. Would you not consider a fakie 5-0 a switch nosegrind? I'm sure it's just semantics, but I was curious WHEN something like that becomes switch. Does it depend on how you get into the trick?
Chris, that is such a good question. I almost wish I had put something about that right in the video now that you asked it. So stuff like this is a lot less ambiguous when you're tricking on a rail or ledge because you have to pop the board off the ground to get it into the air to start the trick, and you know what stance you're in based off of which part of the board popped off the ground. So if you pop the trailing edge of the board off of the ground and grind on the front truck, it's either a switch nosegrind or a switch crooked grind. If you pop the leading edge off the ground, it's a fakie 5-0. But for quarter pipe tricks, you can either pop one side of the board off the ramp OR just kind of roll right into the trick so it's a little harder to tell. At 3:51 in this video, I didn't ollie into the trick, but I never moved my feet into switch stance (i.e. my foot never went behind the trailing set of wheels), so it would be a fakie trick. If I had, however, been approaching the quarter pipe in switch stance, and moved my leading foot to the nose of the board (it would be the nose in this case because we're not in fakie stance any more), you could accurately refer to the trick as either a fakie trick or a switch trick. BUT, I wouldn't really feel comfortable going around telling people that I can do switch crooked grinds until I could properly switch ollie into them, even on a quarter pipe, since the assumption is usually that if you aren't doing an ollie into the trick, you'd just roll into it from fakie stance.
You have to train it just like you did for your other foot. Remember how long it took you to do your first kickflip? It'll probably take a similar amount of practice for you to do the same with your other foot. One thing that helped me was practicing switch tricks on a trampoline using a board with no trucks.
Pikmin Boy It really depends on what you like. I have a 13 size shoe, but I skate an 8.25. It's all really just personal preference. I would recommend anywhere from 8.0 to 8.5 though.
Finally, someone tells me what fakie is!
Hahahha same!!!
My boy tried to tell me that riding value isn’t a stance and that it’s just riding backwards LIKE WHET IT IS FAKIE😭
Riding fakie*
It’s nollie but switch, bud. 😅
I feel so stupid. I've just been calling it switch all these years. And thats about 35 years kiddos!
Hands down the most informational skate video I’ve ever watched
Thanks dude! 🙏

0:37 and 0:40 is exactly what i needed in my life. Thank you for the answer to many sleepless nights!!! 🙌
Bro your channel is great
Nice vid keep up the good work!

I will say using your "nose" switch is typically helpful obtaining more pop.
Can you do a tutorial on Ollie to fakie on a ramp please
yes
Yeahh bro...thanx so much... amazing skater...the Best tips for the Best skater youtuber .. congratulations...hugs from Ecuador.. good vibes
Great Video!!! (just like always)!!!
Awesome Justin!

"Differences Among Normal, Fakie, Switch, and Nollie Skateboarding Stances Explained"
you have a great way of teaching lol , but can you make a front boardslide or 50-50 on a flatbar tutorial?
fakie switch nollie is my favoritr
Great video, thanks!!

Hi, love your videos. They have helped me a lot. However, I am struggling with speed wobbles. Do you suppose you can do a video on speed and controlling wobbles please?
wrentube Good question! One tip I have for speed wobbles is you can try loosening up your trucks a little bit.
Great video man and as always Keep Shredding Bro.😎
you should make more videos
Thanks
just tying to understand ramps and stuff when i have to do fakie
Yes
Yesssssss
I skate goofy, but I always push mongo to get into fakie. Can't help it, it just feels better. Ik everyone hates mongo, but is that bad??
Nah it's not a big deal! Everyone does it, but when I see someone NOT do it, I'm like, whoah this guy must be pretty serious 😲
0:40 didn’t xqc skate here
thats the park where XQC did the live stream, just watched that video before
Isn't the skatepark in the video the same xqc skated in his video? 😂
I’m confused. Fakie is the stance you’d be in when setting up for a nollie?
No, you'd use nollie stance for that. Fakie stance would set you up to do a fakie ollie. and remember, in fakie stance, the leading part of the board is still referred to as the tail of the board, so even though it looks like what you'd think of as a nose ollie, it's something different.

Excellent and very thorough answer! Love the vids.
How to get your switch foot use to sliding for ollies/flicking for kickflips? Mines like a dead fish
You have to train it just like you did for your other foot. Remember how long it took you to do your first kickflip? It'll probably take a similar amount of practice for you to do the same with your other foot.

Ayo House Park! Austin rep!!!
Almost never train riding fakie. Only on ramps. I know what to train this week!
What type of inch should I have if I wanna do tricks cause I have about 7.5 but have trouble landing both feet
Pikmin Boy It really depends on what you like. I have a 13 size shoe, but I skate an 8.25. It's all really just personal preference. I would recommend anywhere from 8.0 to 8.5 though.
So its goofy footed?
Is that skate park in Austin
I don't get this I'm goofy so to ride fakie is that just riding backwards so will I still pop the board with the foot i usually do
Correct! Still popping with the same foot but rolling in the opposite direction.
Tried to switch down a aramp, now my foot hurts
thanks a lot
I feel more comfy fakie than normal 😂😂😂
nollie feet stance just goofy?
a lot of people push mongo in fakie and 3:52 is most definitely not a 5-0
3rd maybe... i don't care
Thanks Justin!
I used to push mongo
21st.
That was Garbo my guy
Thank you for the feedback. What about it did you find unhelpful?
