Trick Tips/ Step by Step/How to..

Hello.. Previously a staple of  skateboarding magazine, similar to the infamous "slam section", the how to or trick tip is a rare find these days. Perhaps that's because most of the time they were completely useless and were more funny than actually helpful and would often follow a format of..."flip your board, land, ride away stoked". Eric Dressen with a stylish wallride variation..  Rick Howard. Probably never done before or since one foot 5-0 to fakie..  Interesting story about this one..
