we all know the major bangers but who frontside 180'd the four at Wallenberg?

BS 180 or kickflip melon, not sure
Title: Re: wallenberg
Post by: [tofu leg trap] on June 02, 2006, 11:06:08 AM
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.

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 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.

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.

Title: Re: wallenberg
Post by: [tofu leg trap] on June 06, 2006, 03:44:18 PM
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.
Title: Re: wallenberg

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.
Title: Re: wallenberg
Post by: Ronald Wilson Reagan on June 07, 2006, 05:06:09 PM
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
Title: Re: wallenberg
Post by: 455 on June 07, 2006, 05:30:09 PM
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.

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.

Post by: remEMBer on July 14, 2006, 03:24:05 PM
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.

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.

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.

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?
Title: Re: wallenberg
Post by: Ronald Wilson Reagan on January 17, 2007, 12:19:33 PM
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.

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!

Post by: spracker on February 02, 2007, 08:13:54 PM
  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.

Or that one he ollied in the Sight Unseen credits, Matt Allen fs 180'd it, I believe.

It's sad I know about a Matt Allen trick.

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!

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

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.

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