  Hey Kids.
I'm probably doing 'em wrong......I'm DEFINITELY doing 'em different than my side-surfing friends. i.e. Irene, Duke & Lee. But Irene saw me doing these before we went to SD & she said they were legit laybacks.
I'm pretty stoked on this as I can't remember last time I've learned a new trick. I've also gotta give Irene Props here. She got me doing these, basically outta nowhere....or a good old-fashioned Parallel vs. Side-Surf debate. LOL! We were looking at my wall of Honor, in my guest room, at all the existing vert trading cards. We were looking at Brother Duke's back of version 1 card at his layback ( MUCH different & BETTER than mine!)& it got us talking.
Next thing you know I'm trying 'em @ Area 702's vert ramp. After feeling a couple out for the fall I actually committed to trying one for real. I landed the 2nd or 3rd one I really tried. But we didn't film it.
So I went back tonight for 'Old Dude's Night' & got 2 on film.



And in a bit more of a run from an angle I like a little better.



I'm pretty happy with the whole 'new trick' aspect of it, but I welcome all comments/criticisms. As usual.

On a completely unrelated item to Robert:
Sorry if I've ruffled any Feathers over @ OMA....especially if said ruffling somehow reflects on you. I'm pretty Belligerent about RollerSkating & don't really care who knows it. But I wouldn't want to take any Shit due to my rantings. Also the captcha on this is " skiffing robert" I don't really know what that might mean. (When I was a kid in Mich we called getting dragged by car's bumpers thru the snow 'skiffing') I hope I didn't Skiff you on OMA, Rob! LOL! I really wanna hear if you, as a Parallel-er, think I'm actually doing a layback too, Bro. Thanks.

 Hey Jay, without trying to sound anal a layback is this performed by god himself.Amen.

A layback air is what your talking about,,like this one Ludi prepared for you earlier

Then theres the tod twist or rollaround (may need vid for this).

Then theres the full fucking monty as demo'd by Scot Stahlecker,,simular to brother Dukes.
Main thing about any variation on this move is you layback on your planted arm and legs go out the front,,makes it trickier but feels bulk rad.Hope this is of some help to you.Keep em vids comming,,been a bit quiet around here lately.

cheers joe

 Jay, you are doing great! Don't worry about me getting in any trouble at OMA. I cause some, but they know me and I have been there for three years. Your layback airs are looking great. I will make it my mission to get mine back and show you how they might be done. I am not an expert, but it was a trick that I could do all of the time and was quite good at it. I will get that trick back and get some video of me doing it. In return, I will watch all of your videos and try to learn disasters on vert walls. You kill it bro. Thanks for being such a great inspiration.

 Laybacks are the main trick I want to learn, that pic of Jay is one of my favourite skating pics.
