lulz
theyre not hard at all
as long as you have a decent surface
its as easy as doing a railstand

but i dont believe you can do it
1. if you do a half kickflip, the board is upside down
2. arent you supposed to lean back not forward?

Negative, but one day I will try.
This also may belong in the FREESTYLE forum. Not street since technically it's a bit advanced for street and a bit old yet new school for it too lol. If that make any sense...?

i usually just get a good speed, and do a quick railstand, and pop back.

zombie how did you get so much rep?


TRUE- i can primo slide. not as easy as doing a normal primo by the way.

the secret is to land it before you stop =)

and it feels good while your doing it like when you...

I can only do a railstant while rolling really slow,than I stop.
If I tried to go faster,I slammed on my ass.

WTF?
06-26-2008, 03:44 AM
well, i could the one time i tried them, about a year ago when i found the perfect surface and was much more into freestyle/flatland type stuff, so i assume i can now.....although i seem to have worsened at skating as time has gone by

I get that too. If I don't learn anything for a while I start to get really critical of myself. It's only when I compare myself to past footy that I realize how far I've come. It's a good feeling. :biggrin:

i can primo slide but i cant do a trick into it, i can find a slippery surface and i come at it fakie at a high amount of speed and tht keeps me going for a while

I can do them on flat (not on manny pads though), I actually used to be really into them many years ago and stopped doing them cold turkey when I realized that they messed up my hardware.

I can't do them on purpose, no. But I've done them on accident.
bs :icon_bs:
Stuff like that happens all the time. I've done kickflip primo slides before, it's really a matter of luck, and keeping your balance when you land.

i can do them on a freestyle board i just ride along at a comfy speed and then do a hs railstand

i cant quarter flip into them though

Whats a "caballeros" or do you mean "cabalerial (sp?)" which is fakie bs 360 and doesn't involve flip so how do you plan on landing on primo?

Yes, I have done primo slides, only on flat though.

I cant.. I dont really like this kind of tricks

yea i can do a "three quaters of a kickflip" primoslide on a manny pad. why do you think my name is primoslide? gonna get some footage of it some time though.

ive never tried to primo slide in my life, and i dont intend to cuz i dont think i have a flat ground surface where i would slide in the primo slide at all.

its funny how you're making fun of one of the best skaters on skaterscafe....

If only I could find a smooth enough surface to get a good slide on, then I would know if I can actually do this trick or not...

KennethSkates
08-29-2008, 05:54 PM
i can do them heelside and on smooth surfaces

I'm calling bs on this one until I see it. A 360 (I assume with a 1/4 flip) into a primo slide would be pretty damn ridiculous.

you do realize he has a point right?
you cant do half a kickflip to primo
only quarter of a flip
half a flip would land upside down

Yeah. Almost any kind of freestyle trick messes up a critical part of the board.

But, I can d them on flatground pretty far. Actually, a couple weeks ago, my friend and I waxed an already-slippery concrete floor. We were powersliding 10 feet, primo sliding just as far.
And I can almost get onto a small box into them.

i cant primo slide. I've tried on several occasions but every time i try to do it, it turns into a kickflip
