Why skaters like it
Linked as the reference when someone asks what a backwards rock to fakie is called. Skaters point to it to settle the fakie disaster name.
“Disasters don't need a spin variation, it's just that the back truck is the one to go over the coping rather than the front one (as in a rock).”

You wrong about fakie disaster. Watch this trick tip from Tony Hawk and Colin McKay. [VIDEO]
It is a fakie shuvit disaster my dude. Disasters don’t need a spin variation, it’s just that the back truck is the one to go over the coping rather than the front one (as in a rock). When going regs you need a 180 to get the back truck over, but when going fakie the back truck is already forward. Tony Hawk, for reference [VIDEO]
Fakie disaster. [VIDEO] From the hawk himself!
If you don't believe me, I hope you believe Tony Hawk and Colin Mckay [VIDEO]. Skip to :12 for the action.
