Handplants are fun, stylish if done well and will get you chicks. Or guys.

Word Fresh, Gs. Back-to-back 1080s are all fine and dandy, but going for a burn and busting out flatland tricks is one of the funnest things you can do on a shred stick, and will improve your board control too. Get buttering that muffin!
‘Passive-aggressive’ is probably the best way to describe the state I’m in when I hear anybody say ‘Frontside Indy’.
