Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know skateboarding is supposed to be about fun first and everything else second. But there are some tricks—according to Clyde—that should, by no means, be executed in the street, on the ramp, or up a tree. Here are the worstest of the worst, as compiled by a gent who knows how to have way more fun than you.
The 10 Worst Tricks in Skateboarding
Words by Clyde Singleton
1) Ho-Ho:
There’re some tricks I’m more than glad I never learned. Invented by Steve Schneer, this has to be one of the ugliest, worstest tricks known to skateboarding. I still can’t figure out why anyone would want to do an invert with both hands down, then walk around on your hands with your skateboard dangling from both feet. One time, this kid named Bruce was doing a ho-ho and the board fell. Shat cut his finger off all the way past the white-meat, to the bone grizzle. As I said, dumb and dangerous trick.
2) 180 Ollie To Switch Smith/Fakie Droopy Front Truck Grind
What the hell’s this trick? The poor man’s 180 nosegrind? There’s NO way in Gawd’s green earf ANYONE can make this trick “cool.” Why? Because it takes little to no effort, it scratches lame parts of your deck up, and furthermore, it’s ugly. So remember, kids, if you don’t wanna be “that dude,” put some leg on that front truck.
3) Pole Jam
It’s not so much the trick, as much as it is who’s doing it. Or where. Actually, I’ll take that back. This trick’s garbage. No matter said victim, or its strategically placed metropolitan location, it’s garbage. Plus, I think there’s some mandatory “flannel wearage” protocol all these dudes must follow, ’cause ten outta ten pole-jam photos all look the same. I really don’t wanna get into feeble, switch, or boardslide pole jams. They’re all just as worse, if not worse, to witness. “Jamming up polee”? (Nogh houghmeaux.)
4) Frontside 180 Flips (That Don’t Flip)
When did the evolution of the fake frontside flip dawn upon us? I remember it oddly making its way into skating, around the puffy shoe/double tongue days. Nobody paid it much mind. I mean, who cares if the name of the trick is a frontside180 kick “flip,” right? I could go on record and blame Josh Kasper for all this. If not, SPoT’s pyramid.
5) Nollie Front-Foot Kickflip
Not only does it look putrid, there’s simply way too much going on with this trick. Check it: first you snap your front foot down, nollie, straighten your body out, kick your front foot back down, redo the phones, wait for the board to flip, pull your spazzed-out leg back up, ride away with eight new holes in the strangest places your shoes have ever seen. See. Told ya. That trick’s ass.
6) Wallrides On Trees
Maybe y’all can help me with this. HOW the fokk does one “wallride” a tree? Am I the only one who notices that trees don’t have walls? So one more time. HOW do you wallride a tree? And furthermore, why would you ride a skateboard up a tree? Now, if someone were to actually drop into a tree (branches, pine cones, and all), we might have a conversation.
Mike Peterson completely disregarding Rule #6.
7) Blunt To Backside Disaster On Mini-Ramp
Another lame-ass trick. Remember when people useta do blunt-back-disaster-tail-stall-frontside-pivot-fakie? I do. And it was horrible. Lookt like dude was crumpin’ on the coping. Back to the subject: if you ever find yourself blunt on the coping for more than 0.5 seconds,and you decide to go to disaster, please pick up your board and leave the ramp. Immediately. You herb.
Benihana
Ever wonder what the hell’d make anyone take their back foot off their skateboard midair and grab the tail? Me neither. Y’all know this trick drops ya swagger levels at least four points, right? Not only does it look ’scust, but nine times outta ten, it’s done by the mustiest dude in the vicinity. Terrible. I nominate this trick, as well as all photographic evidence of any persons doing it, put in a time capsule and sent to Nebular.
9) Ollie, Front-Foot Impossible
You ever ollied, tripped over your board with your front foot, then landed back on your board? Well, my friend, you have done what we in the skate community call a “front-foot impossible.” If you could do me, your front shoestring, and the rest of the free world the favor of never doing that “trick” again, we’d really appreciate it.
10) “Baton Twirl”
What’s it called when you pop your board in your hand, twirl that bish like a baton, and jump off the wall like Mike Jackson? I don’t know either. But dayum, this is the worst trick in the world. What is that trick called, anyway? I asked at least fifteen people and no one knew. They just kept calling it “that trick where you spin your board sporadically and jump off the wall.” If anyone knows the name of this horrible trick, please e-mail me ASAP.

your crazy….
nollie front foot flips are sick when good people do them..
November 17th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
well Clyde…not everyone agrees with you. infact, i completely disagree. why would you set limits to skateboarding? this list will just make kids feel self concious about the certain tricks they do. the whole point of doing those tricks is because they are funny. when i skate with my friends and one of them learns to nollie front foot flip, i think its mutated, but funny at the same time. you don’t have to be so serious about skateboarding. the dumb tricks are the best.

Top Ten Haters in Skateboarding
1. Clyde Singleton
2. Clyde Singleton
3. Clyde Singleton
4. Clyde Singleton
5. Clyde Singleton
6. People that say, “You’re gonna break your neck.”
7. Clyde Singleton
8. Cops, rent a cops, etc.
9. People that don’t skate good and want to make themselves feel better.
10. Clyde Singleton
Nah, I’m just playin, but I do have some disagreements there. Watch the Maple Black Cat Video and tell me Jerry Hsu doesn’t have the sickest front foot flip you’ve ever seen.
Yeah, rule #4… If you say that someone “Osiris flipped” a gap, EVERYONE knows what you’re talkin about. And if they don’t, then they think it’s a frontside flip.
Come on Clyde, you’ve never waxed up a tree and skated it?! hahaha. Syke. I agree on that one. Unless maybe someone carved a fullpipe out of a tree then fullpiped it. That’s the next hot sh!t.
But for real, you write articles that are fun to read, even if your opinions are wrong. Keep it up man.
Rule #2…Shmeagle grind.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
DUMB article, Benihana and Pole jams are both badass just cus this dude can’t do them he’s hating.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
I’m glad I’m not the only who has to say this article is bull crap.
Well, everyone has an opinion…
November 17th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
I thought I was gonna get hated on for speaking my mind, but it’s good to know i’m not the only one that thinks this list is complete BS. Let me give you an alternate title for this article clyde, TOP TEN TRICKS I WISH I COULD DO. The only one i’d probably have to agree with is the illusion flip thing. even though some people actually do em stylish. Clyde Singleton tries too hard.
November 18th, 2008 at 12:33 am
for the front foot flip
a old skater show me that you have two solution for the rotate :
you can push down on the nose or move back the front foot just before push down and this way is harder…
November 18th, 2008 at 5:41 am
clide quit hating.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:00 am
who’s setting the rules? do any trick you feel like doing and enjoy the creativity out there!!
November 18th, 2008 at 10:24 am
For all y’all out there who don’t know Clyde is a washed up skate-rat, that never really made it. He just leaches of those who did. Clyde used to get all wasted and stay over at somebodies house and pee his pants. Check big brother if you don’t know. He’s a slacker. Can you say washed up. If all you can do is push on a skateboard and it makes you happy, then F**K everyone else.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:59 am
This is the skateboarding industry’s version of a pension. Clyde’s skate career is over but because he still has some industry contacts Transworld will over-pay him to write negative and ridiculous pieces on why we should all feel sorry for him. Sorry bro, but who the hell are you to say what’s the worst in skateboarding? You go on and on about “no hating” on your blog but all you do is hate yourself, you’re the definition of a hater… and let’s face it, no one likes a hater.
This is not even to the level of crappy journalism. Transworld skate’s editorial team should really re-consider who they choose to write for them. Maybe give some unknown and underrated skate nerds a chance instead of just giving up the editorial positions to washed up pros who have no experience writing, can’t write and wouldn’t ever consider do it for a job unless they had absolutely no other choice.
I gotta say that this crap is more the fault of Transworld than Clyde. We visit http://www.skateboarding.com because it’s an industry veteran publication and we expect a level of authenticity and quality, to which this obviously does not meet. If Transworld didn’t give Clyde a forum to spew this crap then no one would have to bear it.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Can you add “old school impossible”? All the little kids at the park do this, whatever it is. It’s irritating. Aint nothing old school about it, they just stepping off their board and making the board wrap around their foot, it’s dumb.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Alex Moul will not be happy, front foot impossible are cool.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Damn. Everyone is really seriously hating on Clyde. I was jokin around. I wanna see you guys write an article and then watch your reactions when everyone hates on you in the column.
It would be kinda like Kermit the Frog’s reaction to two girls one cup. Look up “Kermit the Frog’s reaction” on YouTube. It’s funny.
November 18th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
hater hater hater…
November 18th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
y dont ya learn to skate before u hate
November 18th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
what a loser. Clyde probably can’t do half the tricks on that list. hater
November 18th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
dear, hater
Wallrides on trees are sick also don’t be hatten on the pole jam
watch Richie Jackson in and now and say pole jams arn’t sick
November 18th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
this is a stupid article
November 18th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
True dat Clyde…..true dat
November 18th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Umm yess Clyde, I agree. You have good taste when it comes to picking ugly ass tricks. Some of these may be fun to do but only fun to do not as to watch. For you little mark ass Bees who say a Benihana is cool you need to ask yourself one question. “Is everything ok at home?” The answer is most def not because your taste in skateboarding is totally ffffd. Wake up kiddies.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
To Darren Lee:
You need to re-examine the situation obviously. You are hating on Clyde for getting paid to write because in your mind its not “up to par”. Feel sorry for yourself because your not getting paid to hate on someone, your doing it for free. Who’s the winner in that comparison.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
don’t blame the tricks.
blame the sketchy skaters.
I’ve seen Pole-Jams and Benihanas that just look like their floating. Effortless, greatness.
Nollie Front-Foot Kickflips is a “wtf?” trick. gotta pull that out to turn some heads.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
clydes right he pretty much hated just right you guys are what are commonly referred to as skate rat homo’s grow some pubes take your hands out of your kid brothers pants and kill yourselves the only thing he missed are all the gay boardslide tap dance combos goin on that junk needs to go
November 18th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
almost forgot back boseblunts in ditches little kids acting old and barbeques with one pretend thug and fifteen dudes with beards draped in womans slacks and cheap beer and people tryin to use ciggarettes as a image i love the things but i’m not walkin around with one hangin out my turd shooter and a shirt with hotdog stains on it tho. damn almost forgot white dudes rollin around with the token black dude so they feel its ok to play rap music real loud i don’t mean it in a rascist way but i don’t see black people as a tool to be used for urban acceptance don’t get me wrong i’vew met plenty of black dudes that are tools especialy africans that don’t understand american culture but will rep tupac till the aids gets em. if you think i’m rascist just look at jeremy rogers and you might just understand p.s obama is the antichrist
November 18th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
and people tryin to relive the storm all those tricks sucked thats why people stopped doin em flip your board once and only once or otherwise may it strike you down with furious anger and extreme vengence that board slide tap dance b.s. sucks too if your gonna boardslide a ledge make sure its because arthritis makes it way to hard for your old azz to back tail it and p.s kill yourself suicide is not just fun its efficient
November 18th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
good gosh. cut the man some slack. the article was funny. he’s not the authority on what’s cool and he wasn’t trying to be, he’s making a joke. you think clyde’s going to look the chief in the face and tell him his benihana down club med was whack, or tell richie jackson not to pole jam anymore? hell no. it was for laughs. everyone who got pissed when they read this has a problem taking skateboarding too seriously, not clyde singleton.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Shane Cross had stylie benihanas! Peep the bonus footy in First Love. Anything he did was stylie though.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
I agree with Tyler. That article was the funniest one I’ve read in weeks. The way Clyde transports his slang into writing is unreached. People who take this seriously and get mad at Clyde and call him a hater and whatnot are really just takin the game too serious. Keep it up Clyde, you make this website fun!
November 18th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
i did a ho ho plant on a treee one time it was soo grovy
November 18th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
What about matt bennets 180 switch smiths so steezed like the best trick done down hollywood high 12 sorry dustin
November 18th, 2008 at 4:52 pm

November 18th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
singleton is whack for saying all that, thats his opinion, look at how many pole jams are in vids now a days, and wall rides on trees r sick looking, whatevers wit clyde
November 18th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
one time i did a fakie frontside flip- blunt- backside disaster- baton twirl- ho ho- tree walride- to fakie………………….. it was crazy dont hate on cool tricks
November 18th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
wow who cares what clyde says its just skate boarding what an idiot thats his personal opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 18th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
So let us first make it clear that this guy has the right to his opinion.
However there is no such thing as a ‘bad’ trick, just bad skaters.
I mean all those tricks could easily be performed in a way that is so
epic that it could easily make the deciding point in a contest, or
land some rookie on the cover of a magazine.
In the end by bad mouthing a trick. You’re simply bad mouthing your
own abilities.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
i thought skateboarding was about breaking the rules? WTF? Clyde Singelton is not punk rock. justkidding this article is actually pretty funny but willy grinds should be up there. my friend does them - their the ugliest thing i’ve ever seen. it’s just a lazy-ass nosegrind like you didnt have the balls to pull it up
November 18th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Clyde is one of the last truly funny writers in skateboarding. If you don’t get it, I’m sorry, but you’re stupid. Very, very stupid.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Serious ass kids, are all y’all mad cause winters here and all you can do is watch?
Clyde is funny, and has been a part of this industry for a long time. If you don’t get his humor, beat it and go get your Tech Deck and rip it up.
Quit hatin and go skatin,
November 18th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
I get paid to actually write, not hate. I’m a journalist myself and I think it’s wrong for Clyde to cut down other people’s tricks and call out a ripper like Josh Kasper for doing a couple lame frontside flips, and also benihanas (his opener in trilogy). I believe Josh Kasper has done much more for skateboarding than Clyde, and now he delivers a positive message to young kids about the downsides to the industry. Whereas Clyde just hates.
I’m the winner because I’m not just spewing hate for no good reason besides $ and editorial deadlines like said writer. I’m making a point as a writer about an organization to which most of the time I hold in high esteem, I really think they need to think twice about just running any story that an ex-pro can diarrhea out.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:13 am
man leave Benihana’a alone man, they go off, and trees are boring if they are not used productively, like skating em. got to agree on the ho-ho but, that is wack, gald that guy hurt himself doing one too
November 19th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Ok, first off, clyde is a legend so if you skate you have to respect what he’s done and who he is. With that being said, I have no idea what a ho ho is, which is probally a good thing. 180 switch smith is a Barley grind, as in Donny, ultimate steez. Maybe it’s ugly with others but give donny his earned respect, the man switch hardflipped the santa monica triple. Pole jams are cool when cool people due them, see AND NOW for evidence. I used to agree with you. Frontside Flips are gay… Nollie front foot flips are ugly…. tree wallrides wack unless your iree, and these trees come from my boy…. beihanas front foot impossibles… maybe if you combined the two into a blunt back disaster…. if you can’t do them all… officially wack… Clyde you keep these columns going, cuz for every 10 kids that hate on you, it stops one from spending time sitting in a blunt on the top of a quarter trying to learn blunt disasters…. Save the kids… and the trees… 401K R2d2… ride 2gether die 2gether
November 19th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Oh yes lets do the tricks that Clyde likes. Go Pimp your self bra.
November 19th, 2008 at 9:44 am
nollie front flips are sicck
November 19th, 2008 at 10:37 am
?????? haters?, lame tricks?,flanel shirts?, blasck people?, josh kasper?, whats going on? i dont understand nothing of this, please go skate and have fun.
November 19th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Why dose this writer feel that his remarks on what tricks are not “cool” should be published. The whole idea on skateboarding is to keep developeing tricks, and just being on a damn skateboard. If this writer could even remember what it was like just screwing around on his oledr brother’s board while they where gone. He would relise that all the lame tricks are the essential building blocks to become a good skateboarder. And even if any skater is just doing the “worst” tricks there is. guess what, he is still rideing. Remember a good skater dosn’t halft to do all the tricks at the park. He can just ride around a get back up when he falls, There is a difference between being a good skater and being good at skateboarding. being a good skater last longer
November 19th, 2008 at 10:48 am
its funny to see all the kids that hate on this article that probably are so hyped on tree rides and mike v. Its a funny article and its the truth, quit doing casper flips you kooks.
oh and add that to the list, with;
pressure flips
double flips 90% of the time
half cab heels
hardflip revert
nollie bigspins (put a heel in it you lazy bastids)
nollie crooks, jockiest of nollie grinds
front feeble on handrails
handrails in general
loading dock tricks
back fifty step offs
go have fun at the park now twirps.
November 19th, 2008 at 11:06 am
your an idiot, those are the best tricks, not the worst!
November 19th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Clydes a tool. Barley made 180 switch smiths look so dope in Welcome to Hell and I defy anyone to tell me Mike Mo’s nollie front-foot flips dont look sick-rad in Fully Flared.
November 19th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
so basically become a vert skater? why would you even post that you KOOK
November 19th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
mad hater!!!!!! this article makes me wanna go wallride a tree!!
November 19th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
kyle leeper was doing a treeride on the cover of transworld not too long ago
wierd.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Clyde is a hater. Skateboarding is diverse and literally you can take skateboarding on anything. I mean a tree? Hell, yea that so sick.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
half cab heels are fun
loading docks are fun
i like double flips
handrails are fun
pressure flips to mannys are sick
you should be kicked out hater
dude you are retarded
November 19th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Clyde writes for Transworld skateboarding, this mags a joke, and so is Clyde. Do whatever you want. Last thing Clyde is not a legend.
November 19th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
akeem you are a homo
November 19th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Good God, theres a reason skateboarding doesn’t have rules. Who cares of you wanna fly up the bark of a tree off a quarter? I don’t. Neither should Clyde.
November 20th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Uhhhhhh… NO!!!!
November 20th, 2008 at 12:55 am
so much hate!
November 20th, 2008 at 2:51 am
shut up idiot. i love that trick
November 20th, 2008 at 6:15 am
Rule no.5 - Best argument against this being on of the worst skateboard tricks - Grant Patterson in Blind What If!!!!! I’m surprised the sex change or early grab did not make it on this list….
November 20th, 2008 at 8:03 am
i think vert with street is cool if you know how to do them
November 20th, 2008 at 9:07 am
I loved this article and totally agree with Clyde. A trick I would put on there, however, would have to be the nasty pop-shuv tail grab. Just because you can’t catch it with your feet doesn’t mean it is ok to use your hands. You look like a douchebag stop doing the trick. Anyway kiddies, I think you all missed most of the sarcasm in Clyde’s article, it is more of a joke than any real criticism of skateboarding. It is him forwarding his personal opinions about some (read: heinous) tricks. Just because some of these tricks are your personal staples and that you wear flannels doesn’t mean you have to cry about Clyde speaking his mind. Get over it and by some new shirts.
November 20th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Obviously most people who post agreeing with Clyde, didn’t start skating in the ’80’s, when skateboarding truly started to progress into the scene it is today. Imagine if everyone hated on Alan Gelfand for doing the ollie. Where would we be today, probably still carving like the ’70’s. Do what you want, and don’t let anyone tell you it sucks. Skateboarding is about self expression, F**K getting sponsored, fame and money. That sh*t ruins skateboarding. If you don’t know what killed of skateboarding in the late ’80s, then you should learn, ’cause it’s happening again… you dumb asses!
Oh and clyde you shouldn’t get wasted and pee your pants when you stay over on someone’s couch. That’s #1 on the worst tricks in skateboarding history. You are a legend to only fools…ya heard..
November 20th, 2008 at 9:52 am
you forgot about varial kickflips
November 20th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Here’s a list of why skateboarding is the greatest thing in the world.
1. Because it’s fun
2. Because you love it more than anything
3. because you can go skate a spot alone and do all of the tricks Clyde has mentioned- hate free- and still feel sick about doing them.
Clyde is a hater… but, every town has one.
November 20th, 2008 at 11:29 am
i think the travesty of this article is the dicotamy it seems to represent considering the fact that its on the same page as ed tempeltens crummy f-n art show.the fact that skateboarding is so much about a free perspective.i mean hey,lets go punch gravity in the face.but u’ve got a successful man like ed who’s praised for crappy art which i guess is supposed to represent spiritual war which is a very profound thing,but its 3rd grade coloring w/ a bunch of swirly things.whoo.and then a tilted picture of him and his awsomeness and a few w/ pink people.come on.but why does it seem so appreciated.style.thats wut its all about for graff artists.isn’t it similar in skateboarding.maybe the frontside flip is a dum trick,but u can’t say it sucks when u’ve got andrew reynolds ,hops the highest,doin frontside flips 6 feet high down sets big enough to blast ur moms knees through her chest,and making them look like they could be narrorated up with opra music no less.thats the power of man in a way.to take something and back it up with meaning,and profound logic.just like eds rediculous art show.and for the record the Benihana is an orgasmic trick,wether its witnessed by a little grom or ur grandma.FULL LEG SPREAD!!sh*****t.wut more can u ask for.that is sexy!!this guy should try learning wut a clitoris is and then maybe he’ll be able to judge a skateboard trick. otherwise he might as well be shoving the nose of tony’s board up his butt

November 21st, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Skateboardings fun. nothing else matters, clydes funny, skate how you want, dont take anything seriously, ever. have alot of sex and meet tony hawk at least once in your life.
November 21st, 2008 at 5:48 pm
this is like “top 10 tricks a skater with size 40 pants who only does sw front noses on neck high ledges, who cant skate tranny or anything over 4 stairs is most likely to never learn”
o’conners makes much better points in his skate hatin then singelton
November 21st, 2008 at 5:50 pm
4 and 5 are acceptions to above but id expect to see something similar from singleton if he ever did get any footy
November 21st, 2008 at 9:37 pm
clyde your a dumbass!!! Just cause you can’t do these tricks dont mean they suck, it meens you suck and there are alot of capable pros and ams who make these tricks look sick sucka!!!
November 22nd, 2008 at 11:39 am
clyde has officially ruined his reputation as a skateboarder by trying to be funny by makin fun of tricks he doesnt like or cant do.
you got youre 1 fan and your 1341245 haters right now, hope its worth it
November 22nd, 2008 at 12:52 pm
their is a reason why Clyde Singleton is not that know in skateboarding…. that is because he cant do any trick that is worth watching
November 22nd, 2008 at 12:56 pm
your gay
November 22nd, 2008 at 3:06 pm
this is a full of crap article.
pole jams have style and nollie front footflip are sick
nothing can beat a cery clean bennihana
November 22nd, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Well, i disagree with Clyde too. WTF!! Polejams are so sick, check out “And now’s David Gravette part and then tell me polejams are crap.
no way this guy must be crazy
November 22nd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
dude i agree with u on rule 1 and 2 but personally i reckon the rest looks sick man
November 22nd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
CLYDE is a dumbass. Nollie front foot kickflip is sick. WHAT ABOUT PRESSURE FLIPS????!!!!
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:21 am
ahaha clyde is just having fun and expressing what he thinks
though i think its odd you hate on things such as wallrides up trees (kyle leeper did it on the cover of your mag a few months ago )
plus add on the willy grind
i hate it when people think those are cool, they’re more effortless than those damn front 180 switch smiths
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:02 pm
clyde singleton… so burnt.
November 24th, 2008 at 7:06 am
clyde sucks ass, matt bennetts got 180 s smiths goin

November 25th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
THIS GUS A BISH DATS Y HES HATIUN REAL SKATERS
November 25th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
why the hell is this stupid article in this magazine ?
there is no bad or worst tricks in skateboarding history!
the guy that wrote this whole 10 worst trick’s in skateboarding should be fired and be told to shut the hell up!
if you agree then email me at Pratt_Skater123@hotmaail.com
November 29th, 2008 at 7:49 am
the guy who made this post should have nothing to do with skateboarding for the rest of his/her life, there is no reason to hate on anything this sport has to offer. transworld should be disgraced for publishing this article, it does nothing but put skaters that wanna do what the want, or fell is good to them,, and makes it a fkn mainstream calamity.
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:16 am
straight up man front foots rule
December 7th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Wow the humor in this failed so bad.
January 11th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
very interesting article!!! i just now found this site and to be honest i love the funny article!!!
like one of the guys said earlier :
QUIT HATING
GO SKATING!
March 15th, 2009 at 12:12 am
Anyone who skates and enjoys skating is a good skater. If you have a good time while you are doing some sort of trick then it is a good trick. Duane Peters rules.
March 19th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Dude, seriously. You are supposed to be creative, doing rare tricks and using different obstacles. Tree rides are so badass, very creative indeed. Front foot impossible? Dude, you just wish you could ever land it…
Ho-ho? Come on, the fellow hurt himself, so what? What was that? You never bailed and hurt yourself? Well, you are Jesus with a lot of safety gear, then. I put the flag in your hands.
Benihanas are so sick, you have the mind of a mental 3 year-old!
Blame the skater, not the tricks, you retard.
March 26th, 2009 at 5:44 am
pole jams suck, clyde is wrong about anything else, i want to see him go on a huge ass half pipe and do a benihana
April 14th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
you my friend are correct
May 17th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
I agree, any trick with a bunch of flop doodle bull**** is crap…
I mean how many f****** ways and variants can you do a kickflip or 180 or …..
Get your arses on some round wall and fly…..
July 17th, 2009 at 2:11 am
benihanas are so crazy this guys got that one wrong but the rest is good
July 17th, 2009 at 2:14 am
