My winter/spring 2026 skateboarding highlights
Sun, Jun 28, 2026
This is the winter 2025-26 and spring 2026 installment of my skateboarding highlights. At the end of every season I make a short video of all the tricks I learned. Except this time when I skipped winter and combined it with spring.
Here's a list of all the tricks
- FS pivot
- Nose stall BS revert
- Shove to fakie
- Switch shove to regular
- Switch blunt
- Willy grind
- Switch FS 50-50 over the dirt pile
- Nollie flip
- Nollie BS bigspin
- Switch BS 50-50
- FS 50-50 on a rail
- Ollie down a 4-stair
I did the switch blunts back in January. I was happy to land these two. Only recently have I tried them again. They don't come as easy as blunt to fakie.
The willy grind was supposed to be a BS 50-50, which I've been practicing frequently. I missed the BS 50-50, but I thought the willy grind looked neat.
Nollie BS bigspin was something I tried on a whim on a trip to Canada. It only took a few tries.
I've done switch FS 50-50s before, but I liked this one because it was over the dirt pile. I've been practicing switch BS 50-50s, and I finally landed one. It was dirty, but they always are the first time you land something.
The last time I tried a 50-50 on a rail was April two years ago. I thought I would get one, then I landed on my face and broke my front tooth. I finally mustered the courage to try them again. I know I can do it, it's just very scary. I finally did one, with a reverse crosslock, but at least I landed it.
The ollie down the 4-stair was another terrifying one. The scary part is staying parallel to the board as you go over the stairs. I was glad I had the knee sleeves on, otherwise I would have scraped my knee pretty good. Eventually I landed three of these.
