Skating Tranny

[Sleazy]

damn, 7 foot tranny with 5 foot deep end and 3 foot shallow? sounds sick. is it pool coping?

Skating over very is both the most fun and terrifying thing ever! We have a 10 1/2 or 11 ft over-vert clamshell that encapsulates a snakerun in our crazy ass bowl at Dreamland... it has steel coping on top, and when you grind or do edgers, you feel like you're in freefall because when you look down, the transition isn't there to safely hop back into. I've gotten pretty high up at FDR too... that thing's a goddamned monster. Brewce Martin did a fucking handplant on that thing.

As far as "getting air" even Cards will tell you all you need is speed. You also don't need to pop very hard off of transition if you're going fast enough, or at all if you're doing early grabs.

just watch an entire dehobl part in slow mo and all your questions will be answered. until then, and if you can, find a ramp thats steep and small, with huge coping, and not much flat. if you get used to skating that then it'll make everything else feel like a breeze...
