i think they are both as awesome as the other...


kickflip melon el toro!!!!!!


haha
if you can robby, make like a "both are awesome" option haha


i think a nollie hele down a 10 looks just as sweet as a tuck knee down the same set

Both.. grabs are a good way to break up the usual tricks down stairs though.

It depends what grab/ flip it is.

If it's a heelflip vs a one foot tailgrab, grabs.
If it's a bigspinflip vs a nosegrab, it's the flip I'd rather see.

Flips are usual the better tricks for me, but everyone does them.
so a long,stylish grab would be more intressting to see.

I dont know what I should vote for.

I like flips better. But i'd like a tucknee more than kickflip down a stair set.

If it's a grab trick, it has to be tweaked A LOT.
But otherwise, a flip trick is better.

Flip tricks only. I don't know why but I can't stand seeing people grabbing there board in less its a tuck knee. Those do look pretty sweet but I would still pick any flip trick before it.

yeah flips are definately where its at.
not just because they look better (even though they do)
they just look more IMPRESSIVE too.
if you showed someone who doesnt skate..
a melon down a 7 or a varial, theyd think the varial was way cooler.

I dunno man. Flips are cool, but a nice tweaked method or an airwalk really makes my day.

Yea, I like the creativity of grabs... If its tweaked right... Its amazing. I don't like to see too many, but a few nice ones in a part gets my tractor going.

Eh, I'm either way. Preferrably, I do grabs down stairs. And for some reason people are wow'd by it. Today I got a one-foot nosegrab and fs180 crail down an 8, and for some reason I got more cheers than this kid nollie biggy'ing it. I guess the "WTF" factor helps.

But even a basic grab can look so much better than a fliptrick. Not really indys, but a tweaked melon or vertical nosegrab can be way steezy compared to a bolts kickflip.

Yeah, it's all based on the content of the trick.

Stylish grabs are classy and original, but flips are even more classy in my opinion.
I've always liked flips in general; doing flips, watching other people do different flips.
It's just the way how the board gets to rotate around like a planet, amazing.

flip tricks most of the time
if its a stalefish, airwalk, or tuckknee, grab.

i prefer grabs as long as theyre not indys or nosegrabs
flip tricks are getting old
