Switch Stance - 411 Best of 5

[emailtheoldies]

okay. anyone that says "skating has changed" and then blames music, or tight pants or trends, or technicality or gimmicks is FUCKING RETARDED. skateboarding will always be skateboarding. if you don't love it now you never really did. you were following a trend. skating isn't a trend it's an activity/art form. it will always progress along with the times. the only thing that's really changed is people push mongo less nowadays when they are skating switch.

[MAC002200]

[sstslide270out]

@MAC002200 hahah yea i have some old transworlds from when he just went am for flip....and he was pimpin..watch his baker bootleg part..it shows the transformation from 96/97/98 to his punk style in 99.

[11yearoldscene]

@MAC002200 yeah i know i was thinking the same thing..

[wilsoncat69]

[SiMpleHeArtedSkaterX]

[sidexwalk]

god damn, some of that footy is so 90's that it hurts me to watch it.

[patinarastamorir]

yeha

viejos momentos

pura motivacion

Late 90's/early this decade skate videos, espescially 411 had the best style. These days it's too much tight pants & emo even though there's still some cool stuff. Back then it was all smooth.

[stailtoyz]

thats true i agree it was better then now its getting shit with emo and tight pants

[SkateNCreate90]

wow. creager kills switch stance.

[alexlikestoskate]

soo buttery it doesn't even look switch

[mokuni]

there was acutally another switchstance section in a 411 vid from 1996, i dont remember which number it was, but i know the song was pennywise, open door and chet thomas, gershon moseley was and luis cruz were in there...i hope some one has that and uploads some day on here..

[SevenSkateboards]

@mokuni hell yeah! i can't remember the issue... was an early one... like between 5-10 i think.....

[mokuni]

@SevenSkateboards those were definetly the days man, punk rock and skateboarding. ill never forget those times.

[toynazi]

ill second the guy mariano statement. wish he had more footage nowadays. because he always killed!

[mccannisdown]

this song was on one of the Alphanumeric mixtapes. Love it.

[DaveIrie]

Those were tight. I had one but lost it, wish there was some way to get them. The song is by Showbiz & AG & on their album Full Scale though.

[jaybskate123]

ur right was on full scale but not a show beat. productions by dj greyboy man. check it out man

[bombyshell]

this video is like 2000 no 98

[Dystopia1980]

I own this on VHS and bought it right when it was released, I should know when it came out man. Best of 5 covers issues 24-29 and came out 1998. Issue 30 was sep-oct 98, and this came out around the same time.

[CRAZY4BAKER2006]

cao and erro antaniilea have ice switch styles

[ppeckford]

I miss Kareem

[MellowAlin]

WORD!

[lesseiches]

If i compare it to p-rod oder jereme rogers it does not look very special! except the tricks of ronnie creager

[Dystopia1980]

Dude, this is from like 1998. Switch skating has progressed a ton since then. You can't really compare, it's different eras. And are you telling me that James Craig Switch Hardflip or Channita's Switch Heel isn't impressive?

[baschalmighty]

evereyone of the old 411's had a ss part

[ldsouza]

the best switch skater is the legendary guy mariano

[lydiatica]

Kostons switch 360 heelflip is crazy nice.

[squirly]

channitas sw front heel was so butter

[stickmoe]

hey paul, how come none of your notorious switch front crooks are on this switch stance article?
