Title: Underused lines
Post by: billyerlife on October 25, 2022, 08:36:41 PM
The line from The courthouse drop to blubba has only been done by Suciu, right?

No one ever goes from the Macba 3 (sometimes 4) to the ledge. You gotta ollie up the thing, but it is doable.

Santa Monica courthouse stage to the ledges or vice versa.

What else?

Guys were doing lines from the stage to the ledges as far back as the early to mid 90s

I heard those tall SF Blocks (Tyshawn back noseblunt, Carlos sw kf back tail, Tiago etc..) are just down the street from Pier 7

Not sure how close they are in real life but someone could do a long line and make it sick. Someone like Busenitz or Suciu/Knox or Ishod

You’re not thinking big enough! Pier 7 is about a 5 min walk from EMB so you could get a line from those blocks to pier 7 then EMB. You’d have to time the lights perfectly to be able to cross the street tho (I don’t recall if there’s even a good place to cross around there).

Some good ones on here, there's a lot of potential in the Market Street-Embarcadero zone that has gone unrealized. A few people have mentioned lines at the Santa Monica courthouse, and I am sure I misspoke in assuming it was underused, but I just don't remember many.

I'll give a dollar to anyone who can find a line from the Garfield bank to wall in Seattle and then both of those concete rails. I'm sure it's out there, but I can't remember one for sure.

Unless you’re planning on doing a lot of flatground tricks, or going from the sidewalk into the street to get towed by a car, that could end up being a pretty boring line in between getting from one spot to the next. They’re somewhat close to each other but not close enough to make for an exciting line in between spots.

Plus, adding china banks into said line would make for a lot of fast forwarding to make that line interesting to watch more than once. Might as well jump on the bus and finish up the line with a trick down Wallenberg, that would make for a pretty interesting, yet uninteresting 30 minute line.

Don’t know if it’s been done but that’s definitely a feasible task that wouldn’t be too hard for the right person to accomplish.

They’re not popular well known spots, but I can think of quite a few lines in downtown Portland that would take you from spot to spot that I’m surprised no one has done yet.. for instance “magic five to the echo pit four block. Or “magic five” to the courthouse then down to the police station and so on.
Or there’s a lot of ways you could go from spot to spot at lovejoy park too that would be pretty decent.. specially since downtown Portland spots are far more skate friendly and less of a quick bust/kick out nowadays. There’s a lot more stuff that could be done from spot to spot..

The line you’re talking about isn’t too far. Totally possible if you can do enough flatground tricks in between.

The other way down the street from Pier 7 is a curved orange bench. I think it’s closer than the that block ledge, so even more do-able.

I’ve always wanted to see someone go up that Garfield school bank to wall and backside wallride and pop off the wallride to backside 50-50 down the handrail. You’d obviously have to be goofy footed to do it. Or a frontside wallride pop out to frontside 50-50 down the handrail. Or even a wallride fakie but pop out to fakie 50-50 down the handrail. It seems possible and I think it would look pretty fucking awesome to see either of those variations (frontside, backside or fakie) I’ve thought about it for years like as far back as the early 2000’s, but I never tried it and I think there’s plenty of people that would have a much better chance at actually doing it. Hopefully someday someone will do it.

i think the best way to make that work would be to start with a trick over the manny pad sideways like how marcus mcbride skated it. you’d start with a lot of speed obviously, couple flat ground tricks by the wall & then hit the ledge. it wouldn’t be as dragged out as it would be to start with a manual going somewhat slow, curve & then have to improvise so much. that definitely could work.

Hell you could do that, bomb a hill to La Jolla high, and hit the 18 rail there too

This might be off course and I apologize but do any of you skate out of fakie, to fakie or to switch? Like Puleo / Oyola syndrome? for example, I was saw Nyjah on TV and was completely bummed dude lands fakie and just pivots out to regular right after. . . We kind of grew up in lines if you land fakie you have to trick out to regular. it does look cleaner and more solid. even a switch 180, etc. I realize he skates that weird condensed money thing but, lines are to build skill hence you have to EARN back to regular, thoughts?

Guy Mariano in Mouse did a pretty sick fakie revert but otherwise I am with you. I mean, if even I can change my untalented ass back to regular stance with a 180 trick, every pro should be able to do so too.
Sometimes I like to do like a sw fs shuv and do that quick body varial push thing to get back to regular stance.

this should be the standard with few exceptions.  I could see Grant Taylor just turning around but he can also half cab with the best of them. It's not like they don't have options. 

But I agree, something should be done unless its something in which too much speed plays a role.  Thinking Milton Martinez type stuff.

Damn. What about two 180 tricks back to back then instead? Like nollie bs 180 and then bs halfcab.

I have a spot in sight for a line. It starts with a ollie over a wall and ends with a front board. And a lot of flatground space between these two tricks.
Title: Re: Underused lines
Post by: IpathCats on October 28, 2022, 11:29:00 AM
I think the goal should be to avoid that uncomfortable switching of your stance where you just take a goofy looking step/push/switch.

If you can change your stance in any way that is smooth/looks good/is an actual trick, it should be fine.

However, if you come up with one smooth little step switch thing, dont take that as a free pass to just do that shit all the time. Use it sparingly and responsibly.

Like a nice boy.

I did a fakie to turn around in the first lines of one of my video parts, I didn’t think it was a bad thing. It made more sense to do so between the two tricks in the line I was doing. No one can make it look as good as guy’s in mouse obviously

This might be off course and I apologize but do any of you skate out of fakie, to fakie or to switch? Like Puleo / Oyola syndrome? for example, I was saw Nyjah on TV and was completely bummed dude lands fakie and just pivots out to regular right after. . . We kind of grew up in lines if you land fakie you have to trick out to regular. it does look cleaner and more solid. even a switch 180, etc. I realize he skates that weird condensed money thing but, lines are to build skill hence you have to EARN back to regular, thoughts?

Guy Mariano in Mouse did a pretty sick fakie revert but otherwise I am with you. I mean, if even I can change my untalented ass back to regular stance with a 180 trick, every pro should be able to do so too.
Sometimes I like to do like a sw fs shuv and do that quick body varial push thing to get back to regular stance.

according to fred gall that's just as bad as reverting

i wouldn't film a revert, but i do them when i'm not filming

Damn. What about two 180 tricks back to back then instead? Like nollie bs 180 and then bs halfcab.

I have a spot in sight for a line. It starts with a ollie over a wall and ends with a front board. And a lot of flatground space between these two tricks.

I like doing two bigspins in a row between tricks, fakie to nollie or whatever, but I hadn't thought about it as a deliberate means of getting back to the original stance. There's a lot there that seems like it would be cool, backside flip to half cab flip, there must be tons of examples of this, Kerry Getz doing a frontside flip to fakie frontside flip comes to mind, can't place where though.

a cool one that comes to mind would be hitting the gap to rail or through the kink at uci (heath does gap back lip/gap noseblunt, leabres front blunted through the whole thing) then continue on up to the hubba (heath front blunt, ba back rail, braden hoban kf bs noseblunt). that could be a really cool way to open a part before the music starts. they’re always doing construction there now though so i’m not sure if it’s still possible.

I've always liked this KB clip from blessed, Feel like I have never seen a pro body varial to change stance outside of a gimmick trick.
Obviously only works thanks to how fluidly it was done.

Agree, this is totally acceptable to me. execution is everything, he looked comfortable and fluid.

I heard those tall SF Blocks (Tyshawn back noseblunt, Carlos sw kf back tail, Tiago etc..) are just down the street from Pier 7

Not sure how close they are in real life but someone could do a long line and make it sick. Someone like Busenitz or Suciu/Knox or Ishod

Always love Boosentitz SF footage

That would be pretty dope and it’s very doable: https://i.imgur.com/Os3McFZ.jpg

At first for some reason I thought you were talking about going from the 3 block/triple set next to the ferry building that a bunch of people have been skating recently to Pier 7, which would be a pain in the ass to do but I suppose is doable if someone wanted to: https://i.imgur.com/Pzbcsgc.jpg

What I think would be cool is doing something down the 3 block, skating through The Island and hitting one of the ledges there, then finishing off at Embarcadero Plaza down the 6 or into the fountain or something like that
