Title: Squeezing
Post by: Bizarro Jerry on August 09, 2015, 04:47:18 PM
We all know that feeling. The feeling you get from just barely squeezing a trick.  Whether you barely held on to that noseslide, or just that one manual that you really struggled to hold on to.  Post some of your favorite tricks that you can tell the skater just barely got away with. 

some of my favorite squeezes:

Jimmy Lannon's "Static IV" Part (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBH8zJ02Ql4#)
0:36

Brandon Westgate huge ollie stay gold (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PFZ_u4fhEk#)

Classics: Daniel Shimizu, "That's Life" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96nNw1ZhIoQ#)
shimizu squeezing the nollie nose manny at 1:41

Adrián Lopez from Zero dying to live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=443QtIBpvK8#)
Always thinking as a kid that @ 1:49 was just a mm away from hanging up and dying(to live)

Lemme see some of your favorite barely-squeezed-in tricks!

Classic squeeze. Also one of the most life threatening squeezes I could think of. Here's probably my all time favorite squeeze.

Oh wow I can't wait for GAY to come make a joke, so yeah, basically this isn't what I think of.

Also, Kerry Getz in DVS Skatemore has a good backside flip off a nice high ledge that he hugged the ground on the landing and said "Oh sh-!" during. Very nice "squeeze".

it wasn't a backside flip squeeze, but he squeezed his way up and across Oyolas spot at 1:35, also squeezed that p shuv nose manny at 2:24. you may be thinking of in Mike Taylors part at 0:59 and the bench, also squeezed to the peak of that 5-0 at 4:06

I'd even say that Jason Dill squeezed in that  first 50-50 in Skate More. Actually really fucked up too. I remember reading somewhere that what he is grinding is actually a old rusted staircase on its side.  For some reason as a kid I never realized it was stairs and thought it was just some funky shaped piece of coping.

Here's another good one. Nose grind @1:45
