Here's a fun one to debate with your skate friends, nollie and fakie tricks are "swapped".<p>For example:<p>- nollie fs 180 and fakie fs 180 (fs half cab) are two different directions: nollie fs 180 is in front of you and fakie fs 180 is behind you going blind<p>- nollie 5-0 and fakie 5-0 (fakie switch nosegrind) lean differently on the grind: nollie 5-0 you pop off your nose and land on your back truck, fakie 5-0 you pop off your tail and land on your front truck<p>- nollie noseslide and fakie noseslide are different motions to get into the slide: nollie nose you pop off nose and land on the nose in the ledge, fakie nose you pop off tail and land on the nose but you do a sort of half cab<p>The key distinction in the argument is that in fakie, your tail is always considered your "tail". Therefore you treat any derived tricks as being "backwards". In the 5-0 and noseslide examples, you're still popping off the front of your board, but you classify it as nose or tail based on if it's nollie or fakie.<p>There are caveats though such as "fakie crook" where if you kept the rule it should be "fakie suski", which no one says.<p>There's a million arbitrary and nonsensical rules in skateboarding which is part of the reason to love it, especially for something that "has no rules".<p>And remember, never carry your board by your truck :)
