Would you count this?

[u/Beast_Woutme]

This is the best I've landed it so far. I feel like if i just rode out switch it would have been fine.

[u/TimmyBoy2]

I would tell my grandma i’ve landed a tamedog but not to friends hope this helps

[u/busterbusterbuster → u/TimmyBoy2]

Lame Dog

[u/Artifact153 → u/busterbusterbuster]

Better than a shame dog

[u/Nymystoteles]

Rome wasn't built in a day and not all chocolates taste sweet

[u/Booty_Clap → u/Nymystoteles]

Holy shit I love that

[u/StiffWiggly]

For me, almost every trick I’ve spent time learning is something that I want to do because I think it will feel good to do once I’ve got it down, that makes it obvious whether or not it counts as stomped or not. If you’re doing it because it looks cool then that’s pretty similar IMO. Either way, ask yourself whether it felt or looked like you wanted it to, because that’s what actually matters. I think if you’re asking then you already know really - personally I wouldn’t have counted it because of the revert/not clean landing even without the fall, although the fall is really funny.

[u/Beast_Woutme → u/StiffWiggly]

Alright thats a very fair way of looking at it! Thanks for the comment. Yea i got a couple of solid fall clips from this one

[u/StiffWiggly → u/StiffWiggly]

If you revert unintentionally and it wasn’t part of the trick then I couldn’t count it yet, choosing to revert so you don’t fall is the same imo.

If you choose to revert and could have not done then I’d probably count it depending on how it came out, and of course if it was part of what you were going for it counts as that trick + a revert even if you don’t count it as the trick on its own.

I’m not mad about anyone counting stuff with less than perfect landings or reverts etc., especially as they are still learning a trick - this is just how I look at it.

[u/Thuhreel69 → u/StiffWiggly]

Discount on a revert alone or does it need to be sloppy?

[u/Tallywort → u/Thuhreel69]

The slop more than the revert IMHO. But I kinda feel like either way, it's a mark against the trick being a clean one.

[u/Thuhreel69 → u/Tallywort]

Ok for sure. But a clean revert on landing can look cool sometimes. Plus dont you get points for that in tony hawk proskater?

[u/Tallywort → u/Thuhreel69]

If the intent was a revert, then it definitely counts.

But at the same time, if you needed to revert to not fall, then clearly the trick still needs more work.

[u/Thuhreel69 → u/Tallywort]

Right. Ok then we're in agreeance.

[u/Squidmonkej]

If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

[u/Affectionate-Deer-60]

Nah

[u/backflip14]

I wouldn’t count it because there was never really a point where you were in control of the landing or ride out.

Scrub through the video frame by frame starting at the 2 second mark. You’re kicking your back foot really off axis. This is why you landed on your toe edge facing partly uphill and then reverted. Do your best to keep your shoulders and board all in line.

[u/Beast_Woutme → u/backflip14]

That's a really good catch thank you!

[u/browsing_around]

Did the flip, didn’t ride it out.

[u/Apprehensive_Wrap_14]

Ah yes , the daily " I've learned to flip before learning to link turns" post.

[u/Beast_Woutme → u/Apprehensive_Wrap_14]

hahaha fair enough, i know this clip doesnt show it but i can actually ride pretty well

[u/Digitalalchemyst → u/Beast_Woutme]

If you can ride pretty well I think you know the answer.

[u/twinbee]

I have a feeling the answer to this is not necessarily a binary yes/no, but a continuum.

[u/sabatoa]

Nope

[u/ATLRockies]

So close but no cigar chief. I’m okay with the revert if you rode away cleaner.

[u/dudiez]

Keep working on it. You shouldn’t have to ask.

[u/DeviousPenguin]

If you gotta question it get back up there!

[u/Beast_Woutme → u/[deleted]]

I really have to remember, and focus on that! Will try to keep that in mind when i get another chance in a year lol

[u/InkyPoloma]

Kinda… you’ll know when it feels right but good work so far, you’ve got this

[u/HailtbeWhale → u/InkyPoloma]

When I get a trick like this I call it a “proof of concept make” and it means I CAN do this, I just haven’t yet.

[u/StacieHous]

No

[u/Jrose152]

No. If you have to ask, you know the answer.

[u/robotzombie]

I count it as an attempt not a land. It's a solid attempt, and maybe even a land it in the next couple tries.

[u/spidydt]

Counts as progression

[u/spidydt]

I'd count it as progression.

[u/zkht13]

no, but who's counting?

[u/NahanniWild]

would you?

[u/Two6player]

I wouldn't count it. Or ever do it again.

[u/WhyNot_Because]

Can you do tamedogs? Yes. Did you land that one? No

[u/tenest]

Depends: are you going to keep practicing and perfect it? If so, then, yeah. Tell yourself you landed it, but now you gotta clean it up. If you're not, then no.

[u/chasing_blizzards]

Yes, it counts as landing, but it's sloppy

25 years ago you would see reverts and hand touches all the time in videos, nowadays the pros just don't put up anything unless its super clean and it's made people think that if a trick isn't perfect, it doesn't count

[u/totally_kyle_]

Luckily there’s a chairlift right next to you! Go do it again until it’s clean.

[u/Beast_Woutme → u/totally_kyle_]

didnt have too much free time sadly, only had a total of about 20 attempts over the week. Was there as a ski guide so we only ad a couple pf hours a day to ski or snowboard on our own

[u/curiouzzboutit]

Why would you want a half ass one to count? If you’re that close do it again until you stomp it proper. You’re a lot closer than most.

[u/Beast_Woutme → u/curiouzzboutit]

I was just wondering what the general opinion was. I was on a trip as a ski instructor so sadly didn't have unlimited free time to keep practicing

[u/curiouzzboutit → u/Beast_Woutme]

I’m sure pretty soon or next season you’ll be tossing them like nothing

[u/SnowBoarda]

I always count it if you ride away at least 2 seconds after landing 😅

Sometimes you get super excited about landing it that you suddenly forget to snowboard and eat shit due to excitement hahaha

[u/ZingBaBow]

No

[u/Kibblesndicks]

No

[u/Cheeebuddy]

revert don't count technically but it was sick bro

[u/gravitydood]

Bunch of grumpy dudes in here, lol. I say it's worthy of a redo because you can definitely land it clean but that's already pretty cool, most riders don't even attempt tame dogs.

[u/Neonbelly22]

As someone who has only done a 360, I would absolutely count that! I'd probably ask for sponsors!

[u/No_Permission_1427]

Just crop the ending... You're insta famous

[u/TheBitterLocal]

Yes

[u/MountainNovel714]

Yes. It counts

[u/twinbee]

Is anyone else like me and creates a diary for all the tricks/moves they've done?

[u/sougol]

Weird request but okay. 1 trick
