What is "fakie"?

[damian 0]

what your girlfriend does, although she will tell you it was real.

 

Seriosu answer:

I learnt on the weekend that it is riding backwards, that is your backfoot become the front foot.

What about "NoFakie"?

[Dokumanju 0]

riding in the opposite direction to which ure bindings r set so if u're regular on a board ure riding with your right foot forward or left foot forward if ure goofy.

Here is a thread on the very subject:

Kinda strange...the person who started that thread, that is.

Oh yeah thanks

NoFakie can't do it (yet). Nor can I (yet).

 

But I'm gonna have a damn good try next time I go. (That's the face I'm gonna be pulling until I succeed.)

 

I've seen all these young wakners doing the switch on the go until you don't know which is fakie and which is reg'lar, and it looks really cool.

 

Then I'm going to be going

When you can do it, you will go

 

I can now do a carved run down a blue run fakie.

 

The smile didn't leave my face for about 2 days after I nailed that.

Good stuff Raury. What's your stance? I have a feeling I won't have much luck unless I go duck foot for a bit...

[echineko 1]

I can't do it fakie.

Or many other trick, just enjoy it!

That`s my new challenge for the season too. Tried a little at Goryu/47 last time but things didn`t quite work out then..shall try again.

I saw more doodies doing fakie today, and it looks fun. I also saw a skier going backwards really fast (faster than many go going forwards), and that looked fun too.

 

Happo is all steep at the top, and not friendly for learning fakie methinks.

yeah O-dog - if yah can`t duck it - f**k it.

 

I ride pure duck 20 in front 15 in back - way exaggerated angles - I know but it works for me and I haven`t broken my knees yet, although I have heard popping noises plenty.

 

but it works great for riding switch and doing all sorts of spins - not as much power, but lots of torque for spins.

Yo,

 

I'm just learning how to spin here myself.(Gambatemas) This rear I'm going to convince "Me" that I'll have the ability to do a simple spin land Fakie? (As he slaps himself across the face)

 

Thanks for adice Barok, it sounds like going in on a slight angle is a sugoi IDEA! I guess at this point it becomes more of a twisting, jerking motion in the hips. Making sure to use your hands for your aiming to the landing. Next I guess is either landing reg or fakie? What about busting your wrists? I know lots of kids who do it every year on Whistler or any other local mtn in Vanouver.

 

I WILL DO A SPIN, TWIST, 360, or whatever. I must do it young skywalker!

 

A determend boarder,

 

Nigel
