Slides & Grinds (ledge game of S.K.A.T.E)
« on: October 18, 2016, 02:44:06 PM »
This is a new contest on this popular brazilian youtube channel "sobreskate". It features some of the best brazilian skateboarders right now and some newcomers. I must say I'm quite impressed with it. Lots of gnarly tricks going down with ease...
The rules are simple, like the traditional Game of Skate, but you have two tries to match the trick and 3 tries on the last letter. You need to alternate between a Grind and a Slide each round too. Better than the last couple BATB IMO.

Games that went down for now:

Slides & Grinds - Gabriel Fortunato vs Murilo Rom?o  

Slides & Grinds - Wagner Ramos vs Victor S?ssekind

Slides & Grinds - Rodrigo Petersen Vs Jo?o Gabriel

Slides & Grinds - Lucas Marques vs Lucas Xaparral

Slides & Grinds - Alex Carolino vs Henrique Crobelatti

Slides & Grinds - Yan Felipe vs Luiz Apela?o

Slides & Grinds - Marcio Roberto vs JP Dantas

Slides & Grinds - Cezar Gordo vs. Gustavo Dias

Interesting idea, I watched the first game but forgot to check the rest as they showed up. Sometimes I wonder how do Youtube's facilities work, but I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to vlogging... kids eat that shit up.

These are excellent. Especially that first game. Both those guys were doing fucked up tricks first try and Gabriel Fortunato looks great on the board. That guy that played Rodrigo Petersen is fucked up good too. I was glad to see Petersen get one good trick in there with the cab lipslide. And is that ledge high, or am I just a bitch? Probably both. Fucking Brazilians ripped that shit a new asshole.

We've been calling for a ledge game of skate from the berrics for years now and I'm so glad someone else did it. Berra is an idiot. I really like the alternating slide/grind and two try rule. They're doing it right.
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

Ledge is no joke too. One of the smaller guys had problems getting lipslides.

So much more fun to watch than another dude bailing a hardflip late 180,

I'm glad you guys liked it. It's a really cool concept and some of those brazilians are too underrated. Lucas Marques is a fucking killer and one of the best newcomers on the BR scene. I'm not a expert on brazilians skating but i got more interested in it since i got some connections with their industry.

Looking forward for the Iqui vs Fagundes match, and the carolino, formiga and Filipe oliveira ones... Lots of different approaches to skating making it really interesting. I would love to see Pedro Biagio in it too since he's an animal at ledge skating!

Check his introduction part on OUS footwear from about a month ago (starts at 8min):

USÖ ÖUS | 25 de agosto 2016

One of the smothest styles i've seen latelly. All the clip is dope tho, OUS is really legit as a brand and as a team.

What the fuck is in the water they're drinking. It's like Brazilians are bred to pop high and destroy any ledge in their way...

Those guys are seriously good, the fact that those tricks are first try is incredible. I'm not sure if typical Berrics Pros would do that well on that game. I could see PJ, Asta, and Shane O'neill do good though.
