Skating at 1000fps

Flatground Freakouts

Posted By Sean Irving | 9-Jun-2012

I remember when skating was a simple affair, but the flip tricks in the above video look like they’re more suited to a video game than reality. Even at a thousand frames per second I’m struggling to work out what is going on here.

Here’s a sample of some the tricks from the vid’s description - nollie dolphin flip, nerd flip, kiwi flip, Merlin twist, and Hardflip Pretzel. Right, I think I’ll stick to playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater on my Nintendo 64.
