i dont really mind what companys they are, just the pictures, but i guess a 12 year old kid that wears HIM t's would see your point...anyways having looked back at the old WSKATE article on this...its funny as fuck.....harsh...but funny

So, a few days ago I heard about how some random kid won the Koston Game Of Skate contest, beating Koston S-K-A-T-E to nothing in the process. Needless to say I was excited to see what the victor was capable of, and I anxiously awaited Transworld coming through on their promise of posting footage of the event on their site. After a two day wait, I loaded the video and my excitement was quickly converted to disgust. The winner (the kid dressed in 1/4 of an Ewok costume ), Jim Bates, has the absolute worst 1992/1993 pivot/powerslide Ron Knigge style that I have seen in years. At one point he "does" a "cabalarial flip" in which he does a half cab kickflip, lands with ALL FOUR WHEELS DOWN, then powerslides a 180 through the rest of the trick. That's like doing a normal backside 180, landing with all your wheels down, powersliding another 180 degrees while in complete contact with the ground and then claiming it to be a proper backside 360.

Ewok's atrocious style is especially evident during the final sequence in which there is a Ewok and Jimmy Carlin final showdown. The juxtaposition of Jimmy Carlin's well popped, properly executed tricks and Ewok's cheap, sliding pivotry is enough to salt anyone's snail. After the first instance of this horrendous methodology the Ewok should have been disqualified, but instead he collects $15,000. I propose that Ewok's check and status as winner be revoked, and that Bill and Ted fire up their time traveling phone booth and take this kid back to the early 90's and leave him where he belongs.

let's go to the video

berra's got one hell of a bs flip........

not really, I don't know why people give him so much credit for that trick. The ones I've seen have been shitty to mediocre.

watch misled youth, the friends section, for one example, then get back to me, fool.

im not that big of a berra fan, but the one in misled youth is perfect.

hmm. he doesn't open his back knee enough when he catches. You can see he can't skate switch very well.

backside flips can be the illest trick when executed properly, like a fast ass backside flip rode away clean always gets an OOOOHHHHHHHH SHIT! from me. my two cents on it.

When every you do a backside flip think Gino.

seriously does anyone remember in the credits of some 411 when jim bates tries to ollie off a bus-stop but hits a rock before he pops and just falls off pretty much facefirst? WOWWWW.

TheDraught · « **Reply #58 on:** April 22, 2007, 01:04:45 PM »

Salabanzi has done some mean ones. Hard to judge how big though, because he was so small himself

A properly executed backside flip is way more beautiful than frontside, period.
