we all know the major bangers but who frontside 180'd the four at Wallenberg?
-
was it chad knight?
probably wrong here
-
Jesse Paez?
-
Jesse Paez?
yep, in 1992.
what came next over the 4?
-
Diego with the BS 180?
-
BS 180 or kickflip melon, not sure
-
In the Thrasher book the kickflip melon isn't counted as a trick done down them. I think Diego did b.s. 180 next, then I think gerwer k.flipped them, then manfre (shut it down in my opinion) then the massacre blow out.
-
oh man, jayme fortune got so close to switch flipping it in digital's sane.

I never understood this. I know they aren't diggin Danny Gonzales, but how can you deny a kickflip melon down that set? Especially first try? He's not my favorite either, but that's lame to discredit him like that.
-
i think it is just the whole 'i am the new gonz' thing.
-
how about the skim board attack?
-
i think that was only the three not all four. i could be mistaken.
The kid on Simons back, when he does the kickflip on the skimboard in whatever old 411 that was, is my friend Paul.
-
yep, in 1992.
what came next over the 4?
anybody have footage of this? must be ridiculous
-
what did manfre do down it? switch 180? I forget
-
yeah and a switch ollie.
-
I like that guy, does he have a board sponsor anymore?
-
the guy who runs metro board shop almost switch heeled it, he landed on it but his board broke and he fell off
-
hahah that sucks that thrasher just full out doesn't count it as a trick. I mean he did it, so I dont see how it could not count. I heard there was bad blood also because he was supposed to give thrasher the photo but ended up shooting with someone else. To bad for him though, just sucks someone would fuck the guy like that even if he did talk shit.
-
what is, in everyones opinion, the best trick done down it...not just like by difficulty but how it looked...id say gerwers kickflip.
-
Yea thats what got me more stoked than seeing fs flips and heel, altho i DS s/s back 180 was good
-
i honestly think the kickflip or switch ollie. just getting up to it switch with enough speed is gnarly, then landing switch too. switch bs180 is pretty burly too.
-
I agree with the guy above me.....although I will add that Steve Nesser's pop-shuvit was also sick.
-
marcus mcbride heelflipped the 3, robbie holmes also switch heelflipped the three. Alex klein ollied up the two.
-
Zach Hudson also ollied up the 2....in 1995.
-
Zach Hudson also ollied up the 2....in 1995.
wow. i'd never heard about anyone doing that. that's sick.
-
Steve nesser came SO close to FS flipping it too.
My favorite was probably Darrells switch BS 180, cause of how hard it would be to pop switch down that.
-
I thought the ssbs180 was kinda weak. It looks like he smacked his nose on the last stair. I thought LIndsey Robertson's heelflip was beautiful. As far as up the 2, Didn't Reese Forbes Ollie up it to manual? He came from the side, which isn't quite as tall, but just as long, you can't deny that he had the pop to go straight on, but there's nowhere to go from there. I could have sworn I saw 16mm footage of somebody (Cairo Foster maybe?) switch flipping up 2
-
I think you might be right about Reese Forbes.....I think I remember seeing that also.....can't remember when or where though...the Zach Hudson ollie is in his 411 "Wheels Of Fortune" #13.....after he does it,he pops an Indy grab into the bank and runs into the Matson storage box that was there at the time...good stuff.
-
on one of the local mbs theres talk of dave bachinski hardflipping wallenberg but i have no clue how true tht actually is
-

I believe he did it in the element world tour video, but I could be mistaken.

100% right, it was in closure to
but yeah, element world tour

Alex klein ollied up the two.
Wasn't it switch? I could be mistaken, I dodn't even remember seeing it, just second hand knowledge.
-

He claims in that recent TWS interview that he never said that.
-
Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?
-
dave bachinsky has nice hardflips. a hardflip down that beast would be insane.
-
i would like to see tony silva hardflip that beast!
-
yea hes got style for miles

Only the Trasher article photo. I wonder how he ever got speed with those tiny wheels...
-
all the carcass toss stuff isn't on the same level as things that were just done down it. if you go there you'll see how fucked the run up is, rolling down a ski jump with your feet in place ins't the same shit. i'm not saying all that shit isn't sick but it's on a diffarent level.
-

He did. If nesser or someone did the kickflip melon thrasher would wank on about it, but since it's danny gonzales...

the jesse paez 180 was in a thrasher video not sure which on e.

i believe lindsey also tapped, and the only one to not tap was reynolds who gapped out a good 5 feet.

Just found this, not sure if it's already been posted.

ive seen russ milligan do a good switch bigspin flip down a 9, he should also take it to wallenberg.
-

No he didn't. He cleared it plenty good, and it was one of the nicest heelflips I've ever seen
-
i don't know if he tapped or not but it was bloody close. go to the thrasher site and watch the video.
-
I was there, standing right behind Jake Phelps. The only reason I wasn't sure about Darrell was that Phelp's fat ugly head got in my goddamn way on the landing. I got footage of it. I saw Robertson's clearly, and he cleared the motherfucker.
Reynolds though, he cleared it by a good chunk, and with ease.
-
true it just looks like he came close on the thrasher site. ill take your first hand word for it though.
-
Ya I was there and Lindsey didn't hit, Darrell I believe did. Jake was kook, I was filming for thrasher(through my friend Mike who was the staff filmer for Thrasher at the time) and he yelled at me that I was at "his" spot so I had to move to the middle step and the fact they didn't want me wearing a Slap hat. I love how the gonz almost took out Jim Thiebuad on one of his ollie.
-
It says in that thrasher that covered the event stanton and robertson both hit there tails on the last step. I wasn't there though, but why would they say that if it wasn't so?
-
they both did
in the rocket science dvd, slow mo them both
really slow
lindsey just barely hits it
-
he switch 180 and ollied it? post footy

He can do it down a nine, he has to be able to do it down Wallenburg...
I think mcBride nollied the 3, or something like that..
-
i heard they cemented a giant wheelchair ramp over wallenburg

ya they fucked it up i was just in sf about 2 months ago and they did put a wheelchair ramp right in the runway
-
fuck those gimps...
-
andrew reynolds did !! who else
-
IT HURTS YOUR FEET AND ITS A BITCH HAVING TO WALK UP THE HILL OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND IF ITS EVEN SLIGHTLY WINDY THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL FORGET ABOUT UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE TO HANG UP AND EAT SHIT, WHAT ABOUT COLES TRE? DO PEOPLE THINK ITS RAW OR NOT THAT HE USED THE ROLLIN RAMP TO PULL IT? ANY OPINIONS?
-
im not a big fan or the tre personally, i think it was free your mind but thats when i thought tony manfre shut the shit down.
-

manfre owns the berg to this day. and nesser!
-
reynolds owns the 'burg
-
reynolds owns the 'burg
Come on now. He had to use a roll in to do the f/s flip.
-
yeah raw street tricks are better.....the show down thing was like some kind of contest and they had big dumb sticker on it and i guess the rollin ramp isnt as cool......id rather see people jump down it raw style......manfres was my favorite stuff
-
manfre definetly owns the berg, along with nesser,eldridge,gonz and gerwer
-
its pretty fucked you guys just deny some of the gnarliest tricks down it because you dont like them, i could understand if you were saying your favorite tricks down it, but you're saying they "own" it, which is not true
-

everyone knows, or should know thar chris coles tre flip is by far the gnarliest thing to be put down there, rollin or not, that shit was mind blowing. i just love manfre's switch 180 and gerwer's kickflip alot too, so raw and both of those clips were rad because of how wild they rolled away from that shit.
-
Are you going to try switch flipping it again?
-
its not skateable anymore.
-
anyone link gerwers kickflip?
-
anyone link gerwers kickflip?
i cant find a link, i tried but found nothing, all i know is that it was a 411 opener.
-
Gerwer's kickflip was rad because it was a milestone. People started trying shit again over it because of that. I went to that Wallenberg contest thing and Gerwer was there just sipping on a tallcan watching the whole thing go down. Seemed pretty badass.
-
Didn't Markovich land on a kickflip (to broken board) in '92 or '93?
-
anybody else see karl watson's tre flip back 180 down the two in that old expedition one promo?
-
that sounds neat. Some kid was talking down on nesser's pop shuv, saying how it wouldn't be hard to pull that off at all. stupid shit if you ask me. I've never been to california, but I did see the love gap in person, and I know that wallenberg must be atleast 1 1/2 the size of that. Some people are just dumb
-
I know for a fact that 99% of this board wouldn't even be able to contemplate clearing the 4 if they actually went there and stood on top of it, let alone doing something harder than just a basic ollie. ANYTHING landed down that shit is crazy.
-

Not really. its made of cement and cuts off just about every angle on it. Ironically, I don't think they did it to stop people from skating it. Sometimes it just happens.
-
would anyone mind uploading some footy of jayme's switch flip attempt. im really intrigued by it, and almost cant believe you tried that. i was there pretty recently and its almost impossible to skate now. i guess you could build a ramp to get speed for the 4 but the wheelchair ramp makes it damn hard. the three and 2 are still skateable though. the ground on the landing is rough as shit. really roughed up my hand when i skated the two. my friend tried the three and i thought that was crazy. the 4 is just ridiculously big. also jayme, when you tried the switch flip would you bomb the hill to get speed?

yeah, i bombed the hill into the school, i tried it on two seperate ocassions before the berg contest and then once after the contest. it was hard to stand up and roll away from it, second time i tried it i came the closest, the one from the digital video is my first time attempts were i didnt come that close, i landed on a few that day but i kept clipping the last stair.
email kyle at get creepy.com he has footage of my second attempts at the berg, i came the closest that day.

mannn, danny got no props for that kickflip melon, but when gerwer kickflipped it, the world stopped. I never understood it.
Danny G put that shit down, cleanly and with good style, gerwers was sloppy, and his nose got in the way
-

yes it is, you just cant roll down the street to hit it. You have to push
-

Thats because thrasher hates him after he apparently tried to sue them for putting his likeness in the video game they made. Both are badass. I got love for both of 'em.
and to push to clear the 4 from where you can now would be practically impossible.

unless your steve nesser or cairo, they both pushed at that bitch from the hallway, marcovich and others did too. i dont know how someone could get enough speed that way, cairo almost kickflipped it and marcovich, both getting speed by pushing from the back, nesser almost frontside flipped it that way too. but i take it the run way is even shorter now?
-
Yeah its shorter by a bunch now. I didn't know all those guys approached it from that way though. Impressive! Basically they made a wheelchair ramp into the school. It starts off going straight at the three, like almost a better roll in for it, but then right after behind the 4 it takes a 90 degree turn and goes into the school. Its cement. It has bars going across it, there isn't really a way to get around it.

what about a jack hammer and some bondo? haha!
just kidding turkey.
-
Man, Wallenberg is fucking crazy. I'm surprised somebody hasn't actually tried to fix it. I doubt kids skating is a big enough problem for them to put in a cement ramp, ha.
Danny's kickflip melon was fucking crazy. Transworld's The Reason was a sick video.
-
How about building a wooden hump to roll over the ramp and get a little pump in at te same time?
-
Didn't Markovich land on a kickflip (to broken board) in '92 or '93?
Yes, same day Paez FS 180'd it. They were scary kickflips, catching them a foot or 2 above the ground, he landed on a few before his board broke but never rode away.
-
to even clear a kickflip over it with that board and runway makes markovich a fuckin beast!
-
Yea, the runway is far shorter than you'd think, if you haven't been there. There was no ramp there that day in 92' to drop in on and the gate was closed, the only option was to push like a mad dog from the back of the "alley." I was hoping Markovich would BS 180 it that day as, he had probably the baddest BS 180 going at the time.

Wallenbergs crazy, but I'm just wondering, is it the longest gap that has been skated? It's huge, of course, but it seems like some bigger stuff has been skated. Anyone know?
-
it depends what you consider bigger. theres height and width. a big gap that comes to mind is the heath kirchart kickflip attempt gap in interface.

I don't think its the biggest. Some massive ollies have been done. Its just a classic.
-
one thing for sure is that if your trying a trick down the berg you usually dont want to ollie it for a warm up because thats a feat in itself.
-

sometimes you get to spots and you d never skate it, but you still think if you did, you could do something. at that gap i couldn t even imagine anything- that s how big it is.
and props to jamie for making it look so fucking easy when he ollied it.
also muska bs flipped it from one stair below way back in the day in his transworld interview, which is badass!
-
did reynolds b/s flip the four?
-

At the contest, it shocked me that nobody ollied it to warm up except for Reynolds, and he pulled his trick quickest and cleanest

wait danny gonzales was talking shit ? who,and what about?

does anyone know if the frankie hill mountain gap from the propaganda video is still around, where it is and how big that thing was. i don't know if anyone remembers but Kris Markovich bs180 that bitch in the Color video.

no gonz indy it....he might have 180d but i never saw it

Anything, including an ollie down the 4 is amazing. I've had the pleasure skating it, or trying to, and it's big, and the ground is shit eating..... anything down it to me is impressive, but i'm old.

gerwers kickflip is so badass, in the fisheye shot when he lands you can see he slides backside then somehow manages to roll away.

what about cole's tre flip down that

if i ever had the chance i would definitely have thrown myself down that set. You only live once .

Switch back 180,backside flip,front side flip,and 360 flip were all so ridiculous,Lindsey got really close to back heeling it too.
