Krusher's 360 Youtube links

In another thread Krusher posted these links:

reverse 360 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X0aCjoZm3o


Rather than hijack the thread I thought I'd start a new one. Watching the clips, I thought some of the 360s were pretty functional and one guy's wave knowledge was pretty good, getting tubed just after completing the spin, in a critical section. The guy doing repeated 360s' just had my head in a spin. Guess I feel the feel the same about aerials - some just look plain wrong. Each to their own though.

The absence of fins opens up opportunities but also restricts some avenues. I'm looking to a new nofin soonish.

"To the dark side you will go"

The function of a 360 to me has never been "look at me i've done a trick"

Its a maneuver in my repertoire of things to do on a wave that feel good, The sliding sensation during a spin is the pull, I guess it the same as drifting cars that become popular recently.

Here are couple of other tail sliding videos with finless boards ridden by stand-up riders

HAH! I was full 4 wheel drifting in my parents VW bug while in high school in mid-60's. Well, I was until the rear axle broke and I did a full 720 el rollo popping out both front and rear windshields and totaling the car. Oops, grounded. Come on Bevis, let's do that again...heh=heh-heh-I said "come".

YEAH! That's the ticket...late night shopping mall parking lots, dead end cul-de-sac streets, and esp the windy road up into the hills behind town, though mine was totally stock, the family car. Whoo-hoo!!! Damn lucky that stupid split axle or whatever it was they used to use didn't fail on the road in the hills or I wouldn't likely be typing this
