My fall 2025 skateboarding highlights
Sun, Dec 21, 2025
This is the fall 2025 installment of my skateboarding highlights. At the end of every season I make a short video of all the tricks I learned.
Here's a list of all the tricks
- Blunt nose grab to fakie
- Blunt to fakie on 3' quarter
- Blunt to fakie on 4' quarter
- Switch FS rock n roll
- Switch blunt nose grab
- Switch blunt
- Switch blunt (again)
- Bowl line with nollie pop rock and fakie pop rock
- Boardslide to fakie
- FS boardslide
- Switch boardslide
- Switch FS pop shove-it
- BS 50-50
Out of nowhere I tried blunts to fakie and they seemed very possible. I made a dedicated video on that topic. That's still the only blunt to fakie I've done at Food Court.
Once I learned them regular, I wanted to learn them switch. I eventually did, but I had a rib injury while trying switch blunt nose grabs. I was sore for a few weeks, but luckily I think I'm fully healed.
Skate IQ inspired me to try switch FS rocks n roll. And I got a few switch FS pop shove-its over an A-frame, which I'd wanted to do for almost a year.
Nollie pop rock is a new one. I'd been trying it for awhile but couldn't get it to "pop." I did one in a line with a fakie pop rock, and I decided to include the whole thing.
This Jon Bishop video of his kid skating a rail inspired me to try boardslide to fakie, which I got pretty quickly. I'd done switch boardslides to regular before, but never back to switch. After the boardslide to fakie, a switch boardslide (back to switch) seemed like the natural next step. And I'd done a FS boardslide before (probably only one), but I'm feeling more comfortable with them now.
Finally, I did a BS 50-50 on a ledge. These ledges are tall for me. I started trying them a year or two ago, but the ollie backside was frightening. This time around, I tried them for four days in row, about 6 hours total. I finally got one on the last try on day four. My plan is to keep practicing them so I can do them more consistently.
Like I said, I make these videos every season. I've never posted them here before, but I might do so in the future.
