2017 TRICK OF THE YEAR SWITCH BS TAILSLIDE AT MACBA: BEHIND THE TRICK

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ม.ค. 2018
  • You’ve seen Tiago Lemos's nearly impossible Switch Backside Tailside on the huge MACBA ledge in Barcelona. Now find out exactly how the 2017 Trick of the Year went down.
    2017 was the toughest year to judge. Anyone in the top 5 could have taken it. But when it came down to the final decision the TOTY judges could not think of anyone else in skateboarding that could SWITCH Backside Tailslide that high of a ledge for that long! Skateboarding isn’t always just about doing the most technically hard trick or hucking down the biggest set. There’s something to be said about making a flatground, many or ledge trick look beautiful while still blowing people’s minds. That’s something special that only a few people can do. From being reposted by heavy skate media outlets to all the Pros & Legends that backed it, Tiago’s Switch Backside Tailslide took skateboarding to another level and will still be respected 10 years from now.
    Congrats Tiago on taking the 2017 Trick of the Year and the $10,000!

      @@LuisGarcia-sp8co dude i think we’re the exact same stance. I’m only in the last year starting to see more people have the same weird stance where different tricks and things come the easiest for different stances(the stance i also have) Sorry for bad english, hope you understand. I ride goofy the most when i cruise and in tranny, wallies, slappies and with shuvits and tres, and regular in street and for the most popped tricks, grinds, and i do a lot of goofy nollie tricks which feels like a mix of fakie and nollie. Fakie because the pops and flips feel normal, but i always stand like a nollie something, because it feels better and more comfortable.

    @cardigansarecool 6 ปีที่แล้ว +86

    It's not necessarily about what "looks" the gnarliest. Don't get me wrong, front crook down El Toro is insane, and if it had won best trick over this I'd understand that too, but there are a number of skaters who could feasibly do that trick (not saying it's easy). A switch back tail on a ledge that high though, practically a wall, although not as intense, is technically more unbelievable

    • @omgitsrickatier

    For future historians stumbling upon this comment while trying to make sense of our time: this video defines what it meant to have fun in the early 2000s. Looking at this is nostalgic, I don't remember when was the last time I just went out there skating and conquering some slabs of incompetent city-architecture. The streets feel less welcoming now and I would probably die in first bail.

    Yo so I’ve had a hard time wrapping my head around this one. I skate regular, and I love to do what I call “fakie back tail”. I call it fakie because that’s how I pop in, but then I’m in what would be back tailslide had I just ollied into it. If I were to pop in switch it would be front noselide. Is fakie back tail correct? Or is it fakie front nose slide? Skate math is hard.
