If you could trade one attribute for another, what would it be?

[Rook]

I'm not talking specific Tony Hawks skill point shizz here, I'm just saying - and gauge the fairness however you see fit - to swap one of your "attributes" for another.

It can be as broad as "I'd like to trade my flipping skill for 1337 kickz0rz", or as specific as "I'm bored of 720 doubles, I want a really REALLY beastly pop720 instead."

This isn't as simple as "what would you like to be better at?" - there has to be a trade, a sacrifice, a compromise involved.

Broadly speaking, I think it would be fun - though not necessarily what I want - to exchange some of my higher level tricks for ambidexterity in the lower ones. E.G. hypercork for comfortable gainers and gainer switches on both sides.

But seriously, I'd trade round-off flashes (:shocked: somfg! I'm bored of them now :tongue:) for a GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING CHEAT720, or maybe a GODFORSAKEN DOUBLE LEG!

What would you do?

you can't double leg george?

[*<User Name]

I'd trade all of my backwards moves so that my kicks were naturally on my left

[WilliamT]

I would trade my hyper 7 to be able to twist.

[Flowers]

I'd trade my cork and aerial to be able to hyperswipe (Or front tumbling)

[waterboy]

water for gatorade

[alpha7158]

water for gatorade

gatorade for tea and custard creams

[[RozoN]]

My btwists and Jacks for good tumbling and a decent cork... and prolly my sideswipe or raiz for aerial variations

[shengoikee]

this is interesting george but i dont think i could sacrifice anything! i work really hard on individual tricks because im such a slow learner that id be throwing away months of drilling for most of my decent moves haha. im a n00b....

id like to be able to do nice cork variations though. i guess i could make a sacrifice of some sort to be able to do that.

water for gatorade

hahahahaha!!!

[Rook]

you can't double leg george?

Not for shit :sad: I've never even come close... even on the trampoline I can only do the motion half the time.

[Skilzat85X]

I cant really think of anything I'd sacrifice just to gain something instantly that I could just gain by working hard towards it later, hmmm.

I'm not sure if I would trade my natural height for the ability to combo easier, but that's all I can really think of.

[alpha7158]

Not for shit :sad: I've never even come close... even on the trampoline I can only do the motion half the time.

if id known that then i would have gone to an extra special effort to teach you!
next time im with you that move is yours.

edit: bad grammor ftw

[poliver]

i would trade fear for something

[Rook]

That's the point :smile:

But if you think about it, you're giving the time spent on the move in exchange for another move along with the time you would have spent learning it.

So it's almost a hypothetical "instead of learning [x trick], I wish I had learnt [y trick]" but on a wider scale.

I know what you mean though, it's really hard - I've learnt my tricks for a reason, and I've grown attached to them... I don't want to lose them XD

[Rook]

true, your avatar is concrete evidence.

[Jwizzman]

wow, this is a very tough topic, I'd trade a lot of stuff for Aerials...even sideflips or corks

[shengoikee]

well id definately trade something for corks!

it's a case of what id trade. i really dont have that many tricks haha

[Benji]

I'd trade my leg strength for more flexibility or a more tricking-shaped body.

I'd trade my 720 double for a pop720.

I'd trade anything for a btwist or raiz. :dead:

[Dantess]

I'd trade my backflip for a vertical sidekick

[Kaos]

My gainer flash for a sickingly good hyper cork. Is that to much of an extreme change?

[Rook]

My gainer flash for a sickingly good hyper cork. Is that to much of an extreme change?

Possibly. Maybe not though.

It is illogical though :tongue:

"So you can't gainer flash at all?"

"No, sorry... every time I try, I end up spinning loads and landing on my swinging leg like a beast."

[peg]

tf-simon:i'd trade double cork and double aerial twist for consistant hypers of both.lol.

[Jon P]

prodigy's raiz swing thrus and combos.
the smoothest thing I have ever witnessed.

Not saying i would trade anything for it but it would be nice to have haha.

[TKD_Andy]

i'd trade every single flipping trick to be able to jacknife like ben brown/stephen renney.

[Lloydy?!]

id trade my soul for sum noni juice :agony:

:tongue: but seriously id trade my hypertwists to be able to use my right leg and not feel gay :agony:

[Skippy]

I'd trade my face to be able to kick with my left leg

[kissing]

I'd like to trade my noobness for uber skill :dead:

[TreXzar]

all my cork variations for a crazyasian/scalco raiz.............

[Matt R]

Cheat 720 twist for a consistent snapu ;).

[Scott]

Butttt they're like the same trick, almost! Just stall the twist and pretend you're kicking and your cheat720twist becomes a wonderful snapu haha

[saunders]

my bkicks are floaty and high but i'd trade my illusion twists anytime for even higher bkicks, that move just never bores me.

[pete_man_man]

i'd trade all my standing flips for consistant standing double fulls.

also, i would trade my double a-twist for the balls to try double cork.

[Rook]

it's interesting to see what people think is "fair" :smile:

this thread is harsh :wicked:

[Birch]

my cartwheel for a hyperswipe

[Andy R]

trade my tornado kick for a quad full

[thereid]

I'll give you my backflip for a good front flip.

[DarkXacreD]

I'd trade my inability to trick for the ability to trick.
