What does FAKIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informaltechnical
A move in skateboarding or snowboarding performed while travelling backwards from the rider's normal stance, without turning around.
Riding fakie means moving in the direction opposite to a rider's regular stance while still facing the same way, so the trick looks and feels reversed compared with a normal ride. Skateboarders and snowboarders use fakie tricks to add variety and difficulty to a run, since controlling the board backwards demands different balance and timing. The term can function as a noun for the manoeuvre itself or as an adverb describing how a trick is performed, as in landing fakie. Because it names a specific technical stance, fakie belongs almost entirely to skate and snowboard culture rather than everyday speech.
