It's even funnier because almost no one does them fakie. I once did one against a guy who could do them nollie with pop somewhat high and he got so pissed when I said that it was fakie .

i'm probably wrong but...
i thought with a gazelle you had to spin 360 while the bard spins 540
in this clips you only seem to spin 180

you're right but it's different if you do them on pyramid corners. this is one of those.....even if it's a tiny one haha. I only did it on this corner because I couldn't film from that angle on the other pyramid corners because there were too many people skating/riding bmx there.

[Clayton or die]

ewwwwww fakie...

[SkaterPotater]

I do them in skate and everyones like what the fuck was that. I also can fakie lazer and nobody really seems to comprehend it either.

[Sponsore manger]

same, noone here but me does em fakie fs, I know one guy who does em fakie bs, which is just fucking bizzarre

[Floydian]

I'm not even seeing the board flip.

[Iskatehard]

It doesn't flip. That's a "gazelle flip".

but yeah, call me stupid, but it looks like more of a bigspin than gazelle

Really? I've always thought bs was way easier than fs. I thought everybody was like that

[zibafu]

thats because the hip is not very errr.... hippish ? imagine it on a 90' hip and then tell me its only a bigspin

All the YT videos i've seen have them flipping. Why would it be called a flip if it doesn't flip?

nowhere in the title of the thread does he say gazelle flip, he just says gazelle, a gazelle is a 540 shuv 360 body follow, a gazelle flip is the same but with a flip in it, again I point out that he didnt say anything about it flipping...






































sheesh

[Stroh]

sick ive done em before on a bank but never a hip. nollie is so much easier, fakie is so much sicker

Hey, I hadn't even heard about gazelles until this year. I just picked back up skateboarding a little after a 5 year break. When I started, there wasn't such a thing.

Ahh...I misread the title, I wasn't paying attention. My bad.

[Roboman]

Would like it more on a sharper hip, but still spun and collected it really good.

Yeah, gazellespins really aren't a trick you hear of that much. Funnily enough they are one of the older tricks, been around since way before kickflips. It was more of a freestyle thing.

Oh, but were they called that?

[zibafu]

so roboman, when are you gonna grace my new video thread with your presence and leave a comment n shit, kinda upsetting that youve ignored it thus far

[Scotty B]

this is a bs bigspin if u ask me

More or less. As far as I remember (which could be wrong because I read this many years ago), a "gazelle" was like a nollie 360 with no real pop, then a shove it was added in the mix and it was called a "gazellespin" or "gazelle shove it" because of the extra spin in it.

It means that gazelles are naturally nollie (or fakie). Then Mullen was doing them with underflips in them (like an upward heelflip), and that got misquoted from "Gazellespin underflip" to "Gazelleflip" over time, even though it has no kickflip.

"Gazellespin" was eventually shortened to "gazelle" because nobody really knew "gazelle" was a different trick. Everyone probably just called them "nollie 360's" by that point anyway. Sometimes the old names still get used but w/e.

Sorry to hijack your thread Heelgic!

I knew I forgot something! You're right, yeah, helipops are a nollie back 3, and gazelles were a nollie FRONT 3.

Information loosely gathered from a post by a Mr. Bowran in a thread on SC years ago that I can't find.

It wasn't a gazelle. sorrrryyy brahh, I know it's different on hips.. but it still isn't even for a hip.

Nice and clean though.
