I dont think it would look as good as some tricks but i was just wonderin if anyone is landing these? I dont think ive ever seen anyone do one.

Definitely sounds possible, or at least in the future.

i think we will see 360 flips first

540 is a lot of rotating

I think a 540 would be easier then a 360 flip. Mainly because its easier to spin 540 because all you have to do is wait till the board comes around and stomp it (not saying there that easy) and not as many things can go wrong. But with a 3 flip theres more things to concentrate on and more things can go wrong. BUt yes 540 shuvits look very plain.

back to the 540 shoves, rodney mullen has done nollie 540 shoves in one of the first two plan b movies (I can't remember which one).

electricsnow, he does a nollie gazelle flip in opinion

Well since you mob are all freezing your balls off in the scrub land I think I might bust out the wakeskate and try one (which will be interesting since I cant even shuvit consistant).

Rodney Mullen does a 540 double-flip in Questionable, and he was doing 540 shuvits off the nose long before that, like back in the mid 80's.

skatingguy, I wouldn't doubt rodney's shove history, but the plan b vids were the ones I could cite the trick from and I dont' think anyone else mentioned anything about 540 shoves. Rodney is ridiculous.
