Poor Donnovan. I wonder why he was so nervous, it's not like he's never skated with those dudes before. Maybe he's been lurking the internet and was feeling the pressure kids put on him.

I think it's safe to say that all of us here take these games way more seriously than any of the participants do. I doubt any of the dudes at the berrics give much of a shit. They mostly just look like they're just having fun to me. 



agreed
but
i wonder if tommorrow will be buttery ass excuses ?

do a flips fs flip on a handrail with good style please, cos billy does, his styles sick, see his first try friday? smooth half cab flip.

Your writting skills are similar to your knowledge on proper skateboarding. How many times has it been talked about on this board that Billy does Illusion flip board slides not switch flip boards, and they look like shit.  You want to see the trick done right, watch Eric Ellington now he can do a proper switch flip into a boardslide. .

why's everyone saying "oh poor donovan" and trying to make up excuses?
this is a flat ground game of skate.. from what i've seen donovan pretty much only skate flat..
dude just fucked up and if people didn't see it coming from the last game you must be blind
the dude never got his basics consistant but whatever still a fun game to watch


THANK YOU SAL 23

do you seriously think that he cant kickflip but he can double hardflip? dude whats nervous



dude froze up so bad he wasnt even bending his knees, go recreate that game of skate yourself in -35 weather and you can see why he didnt land half his stuff - not to say he should have been that mindfucked over it.

beilbel/marks game was great, beiibel was going faster than anyone so far bummed he didn't win, actually berra was skating pretty fast too in his game

donovan was shook, it's too bad cuz that would have been a good game, i wanted to see koston try those double hardflips and grapeflips

oh well

I'm still predicting koston to win the whole thing

Donovan did look nervous, he put his hand over his stomach and looked like he took a breath right before the game started. I don't think people should have been so surprised he lost though, he almost lost to Malto and everyone knows Koston >>> Malto at flatground.

And I still think Koston would have won even if Donovan wasn't nervous. In both games he landed swtich tre and missed switch flip, so I don't think it can all be blamed on him being nervous. I guess all those double flip do mess up your regular tricks.

i meant to type "flip fs lip" on a handrail, not boardslides, and i dont know how many times its been talked about on this message board that he does "illusion flip boardslides" (which he completley doesnt)

Are you looking for me to say Illusion flip lipslide? Because that would mean recognizing an illusion flip as a frontside flip, and its not. Idiot. And besides my argument was based on saying hes not switch flipping into a boardslide because that actually takes skill.

Because being on camera in a "competition" is way different than just skateboarding. Well for some people it isn't, but a lot people are affected by shit like that.

Wtf are you saying? I must be reading this wrong, because it appears that you do not understand the difference between a boardslide and lipslide...it doesn't matter how a board flips, if the rail is in front of you and you slide on your board facing forward it is a lipslide....so what you would mean is "illusion flip" lipslide.....but what I think you really mean is flip fs lipslide...

And what are you talking about billy does illusion flip board slides not switch flip boardslides? are you saying you don't like how he switch flips into them? because you can't "illusion flip" into a boardslide...do you know what an illusion flip is?

you're not reading it wrong, the guy (fluffy) is a fucking idiot. you don't say fs flip lipslide because you aren't doing a full fs flip. if you were, then you wouldn't be going into lip. i know people say tre flip lip when they aren't doing a tre flip lip, but regardless, it's a kickflip front lip. also, it would be impossible to do an illusion flip front lip because how could the board flip through your legs, yet land 90? and even if this was possible, billy's don't do that.
3:55 you fucktard. pause it on his catch, it's a kickflip, then he turns it to a front lip. illusion flips go through your legs. i'm letting you know because you've made it very clear that you don't mind talking about a trick even if you don't know what it is.

i want fluffy to show us video proof of billy marks' "illusion flip boardslides"
hahah he clearly doesn't know what is going when it comes to recognizing tricks.

just so it's clear an illusion flip is an attempted hardflip that doesn't flip. i.e. justin eldridge in this eS commercial at 0:17 (the second angle is better for this example):

That's a hardflip. Illusion flips are fs shove its going between the legs and that makes an illusion of the "between the legs hardflip". Thereby the name, some kids don't see the difference..
