Warning: Varial Kickflips Are Not Cool

- Richie investigates the stigma surrounding the varial flip - a trick largely shunned by skateboarding's hypercritical elite. It's hard to say where ugliness truthfully resides. Is it in the varial flip, or in our condemnatory nature? You be the judged.

If you tell me you hate varial flips, I will do every varial variation on you in a game of skate just to spite you. There is no reason to hate on varial flips lol
SeptumAcid Tabs No I can only do every varial flip variation, but can't skate. Smooth deduction dumbass...
I was actually making a satirical jab at the other jackasses.
But great deduction dumbass.
SeptumAcid Tabs Ah, it's hard to see sarcasm over the internet.
+travis kerns hes just gelzuss dats why
Am I the only one who thinks that varial kickflips are pretty cool?
i love them
yeh me too, they have that "technical trick" vibe
right!!!!
Joe Stockdon nope i love doing that trick
I'm with you dude I aculy love varial kickflips
"mongo pushing street helmet wearing longboarders"
this is art
I mongo push😢
Such a guttural insult, it's beautiful.
Skaters when I started skating: no rules! But here are all the rules. “ and “ nonconformity but be sure to conform. “ I always did my own thing because it’s supposed to be fun.
This comments section is filled with people who don't get the joke and think Richie hates varial flips, while he's actually making a point about the "strange, fickle world of skateboarding" where some things are arbitrarily uncool just because. The fact that his sarcasm and satire flies over everyone's head is kinda funny to me tho...
+Dank Meme This should be top comment
agreed
nice profile pic XD
Are wall rides trendy now? I've always gotten shit for wall rides.
Until the internet become so widely used I never knew how many people don't understand satire and irony. It's really crazy. I think it's also a sign of borderline personality disorder so maybe there are lots of people skipping doctor visits
The "The Mask" joke was friggin good tbh
its a v for vendetta joke
Trying to be smart by referring to V for Vendetta.
Doesn't realize Guy Fawkes mask existed before it.
Why Bother bruh it’s literally a v for vendetta/the mask joke.
varial flips are awesome cause nobody practices them. next time you play skate at your local park, I bet the best dude there cant land one first try
its a jooooooke
TehGabrillo It's not a joke.
mistah kurtz the video itself is kinda a joke, it's making fun of how stupid it is that people hate the varial flip so much
It's kind of bias I can tre flip and varial flip no problem and u still like varial flips I feel like varial flips are cooler down stairs
It is kind of ugly but I always pull one in skate
But forward flips are cool, which is pretty much a varial flip.
YOO what I didn’t know you skate
Is a dolphin flip the same as forward flip?
@@Sonyhandycam666 yes
@@maxtarnacki 😐 bro
@@maxtarnacki you never noticed the board in his room?😂
You should just wear a mask all the time if thats the way you dress.
LMAO
lmao right
James Chapman i agree
Ooohhh damn SHOTS FIRED
Rip
I fucking died at the mask part its so random and funny as fuck
+Landon McGinnis k
+Simon Duffenais turn of your tv and dont watch spongebob, he wont appear so much!
I hope everyone complaining knows he'd fucking kidding smh
He's*
Unfortunately, most don't see it cuz of muh feels....
sadly it looks like noone's getting that
isn't a pop shove it just a varial ollie?
No. You'd have to actually ollie and then manage to spin the board.
Cal Clove yes
if you ollie then shove it's called a late shove yo
Cal Clove noop
No. Have you never studied the history of skateboarding? Probably not since it's cool to be ignorant now a days. Anyway, a "varial" was originally a trick done on vert and it was essentially a shove it (not really popped at first, infact Tony Hawk even says in an interview that before Rodney Mullen did flat ground ollies, "ollies" on vert were more like a scooping of the tail rather than a pop) Anyway, the varial was a shove it where you caught the board with your hand and put it back under your feet. Not sure of the exact point when varial kickflips became the standard name but kickflip to indys were a popular vert trick in the early 90's so I'm guessing at some point some one combined the original varial with kickflip to indy and then eventually people did them on the street without a grab. Hope that answers your question.
How did we go from talking about varials to masks?
and not only that, but he got the reference wrong. That mask would be a nod to V for Vendetta, which you can easily tell he's wrong when he shows the mask from the comic/movie.
CaptainGnarStar
whoooosh
CaptainGnarStar hahahahahahaha
CaptainGnarStar lmao!
Hi
I think people hate on the varial kickflip because it's actually HARDER to do down stairs then a 360flip... And usually people focus on 360flips so when someone does a varial kickflip in a game of skate, they are illprepared and take a letter.... jajajaj theyre mad.
Nathan Heightz Fuck... I didn't read your comment before I posted and essentially repeated your logic. My bad.
hell yea v flip and fakie v flip in skate all day. i have won some games i shouldnt have hahaha
I think the fact that he's mixing up V for Vendetta and The Mask on purpose shows this video is satirical haha.
varial flips are the easiest trick to do that people seem to suck at when playing skate
Everything that is uncool is essentially cool because it's not cool
God dammit why does everyone hate longboarders. It's not the same as it used to be.
Agreed. I don't see what's so bad about it. And how they think every longboarder pushes mongo. I push regular. Lol.
It's not all longboarders, basically it's just the ones that push mongo, are afraid bomb hills, and the ones that just purchased a longboard and now they act like they know all about skateboarding and skateboard products. Personally, I think longbording is sick, but just like skateboarding, there's more posers than people who actually do it.
Yeah like really, I ride a single kick and do stairsets and quarter pipes, so whats the big deal
Lucid Clarke i push mongo but i do like 40 mph downhill and get pretty long standees (20-35 feet)
No you don't, don't lie. Gravity-Rhino Longboarding
This is obviously facetious, why must the internet be so sensitive?
"The mask I'm wearing is a nod to the movie [completely wrong movie with a different mask]" lmfao
Its apparent some people don't understand dry humor and satire.
Talk about 2020😩
Well it’s like me saying, white supremacy is not bad. You don’t know if I’m joking or not
@@timonraccoon oh come on, he literally goes into a section where he just talks about the mask. It's obvious satire lmao
It's good to know how to varial flip, I get people with them in s.k.a.t.e. as well as doing them switch. All of the people who say they're aren't cool are the ones that can't do this simple trick.
for real like its just a trick i dont get why people hate it so much either because they think its easy to do or they cant do it period
I hate this generation of skaters.. Were anything unoriginal thats done over and over again in competitions are the only "cool" tricks. Those and little 6 inch crooked grinds.. WOW that must take some serious balance! Back in the early 2000s, us old timers called that kiss the rail. Man, its just been invaded with the $100 Nike wearing douches that complain when they get their clothes dirty. Now creativity and skill has been replaced with 'steez'.. That just show me that you do the exact same boring tricks over and over again.. Thank GOD for most of the almost skate team! With haslem, daewon, and prase the lord Rodney Mullen still skates.. That's creativity, THATS skateboarding!
Shut the fuck up.
Robert Justice are you mad....is your steez interrupted?
staytrue2u Nope, just don't like people who is stupid, to type.
Go and watch the tilt mode skate video on youtube and you will have a different view. It's nothing like all the other vids where the bar tries to get set higher and higher. In other words it's just meat and potatoes. No Bullshit. Just fun skating and guys having a good time. But even though there having great fun making this skate video doesn't mean that the skating sucks. There is some sweet and big tricks without the tough guy crap so go and enjoy...
hmm.. I shall, if its anything like those almost famous episodes on the ridechannel I'll probably dig it. :)
I disagree. Everyone does tre flips and backside kickflips. Varials are unpredictable for me so I land primo sometimes. You can make that trick the shit man. With anything. Be unique. Instead of learnin tre flips learn to 360Hardflip or 360 Inwardheel
So true. Watch oudalay philavanh and sebo walker do varial flips, they look dope. It's not that the trick isn't cool, you just gotta make it your own.
Ape Billingss I agree man. I myself choose oddball tricks because no one pays attention to em cause they are unique.
i personally just think that varial flips look disgusting no matter if they're unique or not. It's just not as fun to watch because it's so easy.
Elijah Rutter its cool man everyone has there preferences.
Ian Pruett
I landed a varial flip frontside body varial down a little block it was pretty fun ;D the body varial makes it all fun.
Richie is brilliantly funny... some of the comments in here actually add to the comedy.
Apparently people these days are too dumb to realise when someone is joking/parodying, And too easily butthurt.
I knew I'd eventually see you comment on one of these videos, grim.
hahaaha!
Dylan D He's not joking though is he.. he's just being a mug aha
I just learned varial heel and then varial flip today. Im 32 and Ive been skaying for 48 days and i think theyre cool. Anyone who does any flip over a gap or stairset is doing a cool trick, period.
man i like varials, theyre fun to do
fuck what people say. skateboarding is all about you and your board, there's no coach telling you what to do. Go for that varial flip man
christiancrawls very true man
christiancrawls Hear that coach thing from Rodney? ;D
Do what you want. Varial Kickflips are ugly
landed varial kick way before kickflip cause i had really good pop-shovit..so screw this shit, varial kick all day !!!!!!!!!
its a joke.
TehGabrillo It's not a joke.
TehGabrillo shut up and do a varial kick
TheElendix I think he meant the video is a joke...
daniel stubblefield And you think i was not joking ? : D
I like how many people thought Richie was being serious with this video.
the mask shit had me dead
I forgotten what I was watching until the ending
This aged pretty badly
I'll always love the varial just because when I was young, maybe 10-11, I learned the kickflip and varial the same day and they were the only flip tricks i could do for a long while. I quit skating for a long time and when i started again early this year I landed a varial and tre before landing a kickflip
I know it's a joke but I'd rather see a varial then a trey flip, trey flips are sooo over used in skating
especially when you add a sex change in 0.0 then its pretty sick
If I ever see a varial heel sex change boardslide on a handrail, I will die happy.
***** can, I just hate seeing them, they're fun to do but every damn line ever is trey flip trey flip trey flip, like noooo
lol "trey flip"
tres r timeless
Jim Carey is anonymous. He does not forgive. He does not forget. He is Legion. Expect him. Sssssspoken!
yup
+Grey Matters Are you fucking dumb?
The mask is based off of the movie V for Vendetta, and the mask in that movie was based off the Spaniard Guy Fawkes.
Just because some shitty ass fucking hacker squadron of petulant 13 year olds use the mask does not mean it is derived from that group.
+Valterain stop. just stop. if you don't know how to close a door, don't open it.
Grey Matters At least I'm not a shitty 12 year old internet memer.
you are mentally and physically of age, but still 12 emotionally.
THE MASK LMao im dying
lol you would be with that profile pic!
This is a little unrelated to the video, but just something I thought of while thinking about "ugly tricks." I think the reason that people think that cool tricks are ugly or bad is because not enough people do them or practice them. If you only see a trick done by someone who's really bad at it, its gonna look bad. I hear some people say that bonelesses are ugly but I personally think they're really cool. The boneless kind of falls in that category where it's a really cool trick but it's swarmed by beginners who don't know how to do it well and then it looke ugly. Double flips is kidna the same. The main time you see people trying them is when they're trying to look good but in reality have no idea how to do them.
0:30 it reminded me of where we kinda started in gta anyone else ?
poor varial kickflips, they get less respect than andy macdonald
Made my day
Him: "The one i'm wearing is a nod to the major motion picture...."
Me: "V-For vendett....."
Him: "...The Mask"
Me: *confused pikachu*
Holy shit at the people taking this serious. Are you really that incapable of picking up on satire? Jesus christ. Richie Jackson is a boss, and he made it so clear that he was joking.
For the record, I learned to varial flip before I could kickflip. I've always been unimpressed with them for this reason.
I got owned in a game of skate the other day by some random dude I saw skating though my hood. He was doing inward heels and bigspins (I don't have a big list I can pick from). Anyway, the only trick I gave him a letter with was a varial flip. I feel awful now. Thanks.
hahaha
LMAO...........I guess we have allot of the millennial generation here that can't detect sarcasm???
Right? I come back here a year after watching this and people still don't get that the video is making fun of varial haters.
If you're younger than 35 and older than 15 then you're a millenial so I'd imagine most of the people watching this video are millenials.
+wyleFTW 37........I missed the Millenial generation by one year. 1980 birth to I'm not sure(LOL) is considered Millenial. generation X covers allot of poeple.
+wyleFTW People think I'm in my twenties which is great............I woudln't wanna be in a guys shoes who's a badly aged 40 year old rolling down the street on a skateboard in a place like Utah.........lol. It's like humans have spent some many years being mean and sarcastic to eachother on the net that now allot of people can't detect sarcasm. In the biblical definition I think sarcasm meant............:"To tear the flresh".
ryanjofre The fuck do millennials have to do with this? Sounds like an old hag can't find anything else to hate on so he blames "the young people"
I think varial flip sex change looks really fucking cool
Holy crap guys it's a joke don't take it so seriously
Varial Kickflips are cool. What's really extremely lame to me is 180 no complys. I feel they defeat the entire purpose of the no comply and they just look super lame.
I prefer varial kickflips to normal kickflips, it's a lot harder and looks sick. I know you're kidding, but it's one of my favourite tricks
Man i like varial kickflips do i need to stop doing them
no just do whatever tricks that u like
stop doing them
You don't need some random dude telling you whats cool.....
do whatever u want, but learn tee flips as well haha
ahahaha i am mellowed out, think u that needs to chill out
the best part of this video was the ending about the mask xD
Funny... I get more compliments on my varial flips than my tre flips. It seems like the general population of skaters like them but are told that they shouldn't.
yo that varial kickflip hippie jump looks dope af
I can attest to this stigma from wayyyy back in the early 90s. I learned kickflip, then varial flip, then never would do them and only as a "joke". Why? Was never really explained to me other than it's the combination of the 2 quintessential easy tricks a beginner may learn Pop shuv it and kickflip 🤷♂️
I once met some dudes playing SKATE and they told me they had a friend who fell on his head trying a varial flip and is now paralyzed from the neck down. That trick is Jinxed, and all good skaters subconsciously know it. Richie is just tugging Satan's beard.
So a variable kickflip isn't cool just because it's easy? What about variable heelflips? Why don't people say those look stupid and start doing laser flips? Is it because not everyone can laser flip? It's the same shit just with a heelflip. People are so stupid now-a-days.
heel flip tricks are just cooler
***** Why? Its half of a laser flip. It should be the same for the variable heelflip.
A variable heelflip is a hardflip with a heelflip instead of a kickflip. I think you're asking why variable kickflips are shunned while inward heelflips aren't. I like heelflips more, myself.
BGskater209 you can do any trick you want tho its not like theres rules to this lol
Drew Bookhoop Sorry but that has to be the stupidest explanation ever. A hardflip with a heelflip? Better way to say it is heelflip with a frontside pop.
The varial flip is one of my favorite trick
Who hijacked it’s real name 360 kickflip and changed it to treflip ?
Wow I remember watching this when i just started skating. i hated v flips for a while because of this video ,i was young and impressionable and didn’t understand satire.
varial flips arent bad. dont hate
This is a joke video
chris haslam does varial flip tricks, he makes them look equally as cool as 360 flip tricks.
When your the only one who gets the joke by realising that the mask he has on is actually from "V for Vendetta" and not "The Mask"..
I thought that was obvious, does no one who skateboards watch movies?
+Jus' Another Stoner i was thinking of anoumis (cant spell)
+Jus' Another Stoner i thought of both anonymous and v
+Jus' Another Stoner you're not the only one actually it's not that unrated
+Jus' Another Stoner its not originally from v for vendetta doe
Varial kickflips not being cool was mass hysteria that passed. its a supercool trick
2020 we all out here masked up varial kickflipin
Varial kickflips are awesome. I'm awaiting judgment..lol
its a joooooooooooooke
jesus fuck
TehGabrillo It's definitely not a joke.
Only skaters with a small bag of tricks say that ;-)
I meant it lol.
informant09 only skaters who have a bigger bag forget about varials because tres earn you reputation points say that.
The pint is that the longboarders destroy the skate-community by posing
Preach on
I agree.
And when I'm president. All of them will die
i longboard and i can beat you in a game of skate. and i won't even do a varial flip.
Pierce Majette
Well seems great if you do both :D I think he points out the "only-longboarders" and mentioned them posing, which generally destroys the skate-community, not only by longboarders. :D
oh i hate mongo pushing mall grabbing shit footers as much as the next guy.
Pierce Majette how the fuck do you know that? you have literally never met this man in your life. over confident. Someone a true skater isnt.
what the fuck is this channel/video/uploader talking about? Stigma surrounding varial kickflip? Ive been skating for 10-11 years, and nobody ever told me that trick sucked.
You don't read thrasher much, I'm sure.
Curtis Williams
not an 'murican, sry. but yeah, whatever thrasher say goes.... right?
and you don't have any integrity, i'm sure.
Interesting. Where are you from? Here in America people frown highly upon them for whatever reason. Doesn't stop me from loving it though. It was one of the first tricks I learned when I was young that made me feel accomplished. Like my first step into manhood or something xD It will always have a special place in my heart.
well, we've never heard of that in Denmark. But guess it just shows how gullible people are. If the big guys says it in their magazines it must be true.
Yeah im feeling the same way like you!
I had this 6-stairs rivalry with my best friend when we were kids. He had kickflipped it, and i didn't think heelflip would top it, so i finally landed a varial kick, and we concluded that i was the master of those stairs. But now hip folk from the states want to tell me, that i basically wasn't..
F11ch Fuck that shit bro YOU WERE the master of those stairs. Real recognizes real.
Im not even gonna lie varial kickflips are my favorite trick to do (btw I also can do bigspins and 3shuvs)
How do u go from varials to the mask
All these people who are taking this seriously...
Brings a tear to the eye.
isn´t skateboarding just ment to be fun?
lol, the mask segment was fucking great.
Treflips are 100x more boring and overdone though...
I've never heard anyone say they hate varial kickflips til you said it in this video
skating is an art ill varial all i fuckin want
varial kick flip into a k grind and its awesome. thats about the only time i want to see it.
nah, having a varial lift up to your feet while you tweak a k grind is mad steezy, period. especially if its an overcook.
Longboards are cool so are skateboards why cant we get along?😔😔😔😪
Longboarders don't like getting hurt which is why they do what they do. Honestly, skateboarders think longboarders are pussy's. I'm a skateboarder.
I skate too "street" but i often bomb hills. 45+ just road rash if u fall. I can understand skateboarding is hard. I rather have road rash that bruises, i know the struggle.
Cuz lots of longboarders are just fuking posers. (not all)
Good how u backed that up because most of my gay ass school has posers too.
Cameron Lalor see now thats what a good longboarder is theres no way in fuck i would try that unless there was a way to stop and that shit would be so scary if you fell
How do I un-learn it
I learned varial flip first before the actual kick flips and i don't know why.
+Boy Saru Getchu same here.... everytime i go for a kickflip it just rotates the 180 without me even trying to rotate it.... its actually really annoying... i just cant keep the damn board straight
See it's easy isn't it??? Just have some fun then you'll realize your tricks are coming back again. Safe skate sir :-)
You're welcome sir. We are skaters. We support, motivate and learn from each other. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart so JUST DO IT!!! :-)
fakie shuvit is way worse
Heeey! I love that trick
it doesn't have as much hate as the varial
i always get fools letters on fakie fs shuv
its a hard trick no doubt about it.
DRESTA12345678910 No it's really easy, it's just a poser trick
MODDProductions front side though?
nah man its a weird trick. people who say that just can't do em. and if you pop them they look good.
He's being sarcastic people
He is in GTA V skating, look at the backgorund
+Logan Bowser the parking spot near michael therapist right? :D
+Logan Bowser NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Free ee ayy lmau
I've been trying the trick done at 0:56 (believe a beni hana) but on a vert ramp going back in fakie is it just a beni hana vert to fakie? thanks. ✌
I think this is to be taken light heartedly however I've never heard of this stigma and I'm 25 been skating since I was 14. Now I snowboard. Anyone reading this you must must must ensure that when skating , snowboarding whatever it is YOU enjoy, you keep it that way. Never listen to anyone else telling you it isn't cool to do that or it isn't popular to do this. ITS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU ENJOY.
Now the mask makes a lot more sense😂
We gotta wear masks fr now 😂
Covid is perfect because I get to wear a mask AND do varial flips in public. What's someone going to do?? Stop social distancing?!?!
Varial flips and pressure flips are cool
This is stupid. I hate when skaters shun certain tricks, style or even boards. It's all skating, Skating is about expressing your self and riding the board like how you want to ride it, not about what looks 'cool' or is deemed a good trick by other people. If you wanna varial flip, do it. if you wanna push mongo, do it. if you wanna wear a helmet, do it. Im so sick of all this hate random skaters create about random shit that no one should care about.
Imagine if some legends like Rodney Mullen or Steve cab were told that their tricks weren't cool and they shouldn't do them. Stupid right?
if this video was made to be a joke, you've done a good job. I used to like this Richie Jackson as a skater, i just lost all respect for him after watching this.
+Evan Johnston but pushing mongo if youre doing tricks kinda screws you up
+anarchywolf not really, in fact i find it helps with some tricks like no-complys and bonless.
yeah i agree about those but i mean like flip tricks where you have to pop and drag it gets hard to get the foot position in time
not really, i find that it takes the same time to prepare either way. (about 2 steps), I used to push regular but forced myself to change to mongo because it was easier for some tricks. I found it doesn't inhibit your ability to skate pushing either way so i think it just comes down to personal preference. Just my opinion and experience tho.
aight good on ya cause i cant do nocomplys for shet XD
this is a lie!
really? well i commented a thing on that varial skate support that was a horror film kind of that got 16 i think likes, but i thought no1 sees me :) tyvm (idk why)
haha I see you everywhere too
mycatisfat777
me? :/
yeah mostly on braille videos too just like that guy lol
mycatisfat777
weird
Its Varial Kickflip Hippie flip not varial hippy jump
he said variel flip hippie jump
So the same goes for varial heels?
what about when you add a fs sex change, or would that just be a fs 180 tre?
everybody is like yea varial kickflips are gay only cuz this guy says it. kickflips are easy why arent they gay.
Cause it have steez... Pros don't like varial flips because it doesn't look good
That's how I feel. If you catch a clean ass varial kick it can look fucking sick. People have to have THEIR OWN OPINION instead of following the advice of a random youtuber
Why do a varial flip when you can do a 360 flip?
oullerslb Why do a kickflip when you can do a double kickflip? Your argument makes no sense.
*Wears V for Vendetta Mask*
*Explains about The Mask*
LMFAO XD
Why not just explain the origin of the mask you're wearing? V for Vendetta, a similar origin story.
Because almost all of this video is a troll xD if you didn't catch on
Very true :L
What camera is used here? Holy quality, Batman.
Is varial heel flip safe?
This is funny as fuck
this.. was.. awesome. Totally stated the truth.. The Mask part was a bit much.. but I'll sub because you were like "And that's something I'll have to live with for the rest of my life." so funny haha
WHAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt!!!...
Wow bro I just landed my first Varial flip today and now that I see this video my self esteem is rock bottom
looks like someones trying to be edgy. varial kickflips are sick
Hahahahahahahahaha this video is hilarious!
