Jake Johnson - Wallride of Pain

Good for him, I heard he has been training hard and going to bed early. If the governing bodies rule that this is indeed a wall ride, it could place him in the running for SOTY. If not, then... meh.

[camel filters]

this got me stoked. haven't skated in a week or so and this is a great motivator to change that. i really do hope alien pulls through this weird period of AVE, Dill, Terp, and likely Grant leaving and continue to be cool.

You kids crack me up, a sick photo of an amazing trick and you are arguing the semantics of verticality. 

[close]

This.

It's hilariously embarrassing that the beauty of the photo and balls it took to pull the wallride off can't just simply be appreciated.

There's nobody on this thread that's not appreciating the trick and thinking that it's gnarly, but as a bunch of skate nerds people are arguing about the name of the trick. You don't see too many people here 'simply appreciating' f.ex. something Nyjah does. Not really how this forum works.

[360 frip]

Can't wait to see someone skate it as a bank.

I'd guess quite a few wall-rides have been done on slightly angled walls.

Wonder how many tries this took?

I can't even imagine how to bail it.

This is way more exciting than the Burman cover to me. The Louie Lopez lip 5-0 was great too...

*boardslide 5-0. Not that I didn't appreciate it.

My mistake. Not even drunk (yet)...

I would actually like to see the bails on this wallride though.

No, some fucking idiots who have never done a wallride are trying to talk shit on something amazing and are trying to nitpick something amazing.

no one calls anything a bank ride

don't want to be that guy, it's gnarly, but how can we call that a wallride ? no wall here...

[close]

Go drop in and post the footage, it's just a bank BRAH

[close]

ok, it"s a fucking big gnarly bank but it's not a fucking wallride, get it ?

nah this is a wall ride dude; what the fuck is a bank ride?

[the snake]

Wow. The snake is the biggest kook to come onto this site in years. Instead of appreciating the beauty and gnarliness of what Jake is doing, and how impossible it would be for just about anybody else to do, he bitches and whines about semantics. Do you think Jake can't do wallrides, or that it matters what its called? Its fucking gnarly, but your smarmy little bitchass just wants to sit posting stupid gifs and ruining everybody else's chance to appreciate something of such beauty.
Oh, and its a shame this room has no walls, it must get drafty:

you stupid, stupid child.

Oh, and whoever said that riding on a polished marble wall with a slight tilt to it is easy because your wheels grip is outting himself. You ever try to wallride marble? No fucking grip whatsoever. Along with that, vertical walls can be very grippy and hold onto your wheels. Basically, you've never done a wallride and your nitpicking doesn't mean shit. And don't give me that "but this isn't a wall" bullshit. Can you stand on what he is riding without falling off or slipping down it? Then its a fucking wall. If somebody was waiting outside of that would he tell a person he is meeting that he is leaning on the steep bank waiting, or that he's leaning on a wall? Exactly. See, I can play semantic games too that make you look fucking stupid.
But that doesn't matter.
What does matter is the fact that you are both stupid fucking kooks who think they are special and decoding something by coming up with some sort of semantic argument that you think matters instead of appreciating the beauty of what is being done. No matter what argument you come up with, you lose for not realizing how awesome this is.
Now sit down and shut the fuck up, stupid child.

I NEVER SAID I DON'T APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF THAT GNARLY TRICK, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF RIDING A BANK, BIG OR NOT, COULD BE CALLED A FUCKING WALLRIDE

[the snake]

And if they are back-to-back you get bonus points.

i made it

[lyserg]

This thread is a direct example of how the internet sucks nutsacks.

[Andrew]

amazing.

all i can think about is how nice this trick probably sounded when he did it.

can't wait to see the footage of this

Poached.

Not poached, its from a magazine, Antoine Asselin shot it i think.

[Tenterhooks]

Let's meet in the middle. Half wall, half bank - wank. It's a wankride.

That or ballride.

Sorry for the double post, but the last one was just to shut up the kooks. Now my thoughts on the WALLRIDE-
Fucking beautiful and so gnarly. just dropping in on something like that would be death, I can only imagine how gnarly the slams must have been on that- Come up short, you're fucked, balance wrong on the landing, you're fucked, come off the wall at the wrong point, you're fucked, don't turn it quite right, you're fucked. Basically, on something like this, you have to approach and execute it perfectly or you're fucked.

[close]

Techincally it's a bankride, not a wallride, but the name of the trick doesn't change how gnarly it is, so the rant is somewhat pointless. And obviously that would be way gnarlier if it was a straight wall no matter how grippy it was.

[close]

Technically? - according to what?

[close]

It's not a wall, it's a bank

it's a goddamn wall. You're just being difficult for the sake of being difficult to annoy others. Hang it up

We just have different views on what defines a wall ride. I'd say that when the wall is angled enough that it helps you to stay on it for longer, it's not a wallride. The trick in the picture is still the same so I don't see the point in being so emotional about the name.

walls don't have to be straight up vertical..  this is a wall going along some giant steps and he's riding on the wall.. its a wallride and you're being a little shit
