-
John Smolgen

-
Ron Wabowski apparently heard of Smolgen's 28 stair bs flip but felt he had to etch his name into the history books with a 50 STAIR BS FLIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Kanten's fatty-to-flatty near the end of his part in The Storm was 7XL.
-
berra's got one hell of a bs flip........

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.
-
aj double black?
huge bs flip for sure
-
wats up with jim bates?
-
wats up with jim bates?
basically, he skates like kerry getz
-
no he doesnt.
wats funny is that the jim bates hate started when he won that koston game of skate thing, altho he did pop his tricks shittily, anything else ive seen has looked massive, like this huge flip over a massive handrail and some inward heel over a drop 2 dumpster! but i need to see more i guess......
-

that's cause no one knew who he was before the game of skate...
-
yes but it is pretty unneccesary hate (its not like he exploded ronson lambert steez and is making any real money after that Skate thing), an im sure some magazine heads seen a few ads with him beforehand.....
-
i'm not sure anyone pays attention to axis footwear ads....
-
i don't pop any of my tricks so i'm down with the jim bates....to each their own.
-
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.

i don't pop any of my tricks so i'm down with the jim bates....to each their own.
no i just havent seen enough footage of him to start jumping on the bandwagon and saying fuck some random dude because he won a game of skate...and i do pop my tricks.....
-
In get tricks or die trying some guy does a bs flip at the end of the montage with gnarls barkley. It's a big gap into a huge hill, thats the biggest bs flip in my opinion.
-
no he doesnt.

thats actually fucking bullshit. I aint seen no fucking game of skate. Have you ever seen an issue of fucking 411? He used to be in all the old issues. Not only that but I skated with the guy when I went out to cali a few years back.
He skates like shit.
-
I'll give him credit, he does do some crazy shit, but his style is still jacked
-
bates had a big brother interview where he talked about killing himself and shit.
-
Oh yeah, I remember that. Good to hear he didn't do it.
-
team jim bates?
-
Uhh, Cody MacEntire? Get tricks, into that huge bank. End of the 2nd montage, and last trick at the end of the video.
-
yes but it is pretty unneccesary hate (its not like he exploded ronson lambert steez and is making any real money after that Skate thing), an im sure some magazine heads seen a few ads with him beforehand.....
ronson over bates ANY DAY
-
ye but u cant deny a bs flip down the 16...i haven't seen the footage but thats still gnarly
-
the bs flip at the end of the "dcshoescanada portage" was pretty big
-

-

-
i remember a jim bates interview in big brother that was so mean

-
marcus mcbride over the pier 7 ledge for the win!
-
sliding pivotry is enough to salt anyone's snail.

-
"He beat Koston!"
-

watch any berra video part ever
-
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.
-
marcus mcbride over the pier 7 ledge for the win!

Corey Sheppard
-
Reynolds, Wallenberg.
-
Reynolds, Wallenberg.
second that!
-
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.
-
gallant does a sick one down a set in a line after front blunting a bench in everyday
-
heath kirchart can throw down the best looking bs flips down the larger obstacles
-
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.
-
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.
-
chris lambert off that curb cut in some prime or xyz video... you know, the markovic "waitll you see your fucking legs!" 360 flip curb cut
-
aj double black?
yes!
-
Best one on film i have seen was by Dan Clark back in 02 when it flew down El Toro.
-
i dont know about biggest but justin case has teh best bs flips they like knife so much and he catches them like dipped down 90 then brings it around so slowly on the way down too sick!
-
in vicious cycle zarred does one down like a 9 or 10 that's so fuckin tweaked it's like a bs flip derbie ollie.
And a long ass time ago I saw some small shop video that Jim Bates had a full part in. The entire part consisted of him kickflipping, frontside flipping, backside flipping, and tre flipping every obstacle in that order for about 5 minutes.
soooo unwatchable.
but no means to hate the guy, I'm stoked for anyone getting any attention. shit's a life accomplishment for a lot of people
-
once again,,,
marcus mcbride over one of the pier 7 ledges in henry's part in sight unseen ftw!
-
yes!

-
reynolds or chris cole
-
Arto in sorry
-
i know its not down stairs or anything but the one marc johnson does in hot chocolate is prolly like the longest
-
chris lambert off that curb cut in some prime or xyz video... you know, the markovic "waitll you see your fucking legs!" 360 flip curb cut
yeah that one lambert did was so good....the biggest though i think might be everyones favorite ryan sheckler with that crazy one of the roof he did.
-
arron johson over some huge double set in vancouver that magnus hansen varial flips as his ender in un momento por favor
-

-
I'd have to go with wallenberg

-
hahahah YES! LandPirots!
-
AJ black ice or reynolds wallenberg.
-
Aj Black Ice Easy. Or wallenburg
