I'm ok with both. Better than the same damn fliptricks down the same stair sets or the same freaking tailslide combos.

oh god.... the new trend is dark slides? laaaaame.

CK1's really hard rail tricks right into really hard flip tricks off the curb at the recent berrics thing made me think that stepping up your quick-foot game to Suciu levels might be a new trend. As trends go, good be a pretty cool one. Would like to see some people busting out the best of their flatground game right after hitting something big.
That, and Mango's 50-50 a big ole rail to manual to front shuv down a set made me think there's a lot of rail to manual variations that would actually be awesome.
Oh, and I'm interested in what the footage of this cover could possibly look like. Not that Wes has ever done a bad looking trick.

Mr. Rowley has a nice darkslide
-
lol so weird
-
very nice. looks like the scariest fucking trick to try going down something
-
"sooo sickkkkk i'm buying 3 sheets of grip with my next board"
-
This trend is the most awesome thing for us non sponsored skaters. Tearing the living shit out of your griptape and mangeling your board is genius. Also high five to the high water tight pants with tucked in shirt combo, skating is looking up nowadays ::)
-
Kickflip krooked primo grind. You guys are all three days ago.
-
half-kickflip or half-heelflip on? cant really tell
-
Must be nice to be able to do whatever the fuck you want on a skateboard.
-
half-kickflip or half-heelflip on? cant really tell
Looks like a heelflip but either way this is fucking stupid, first Greco's part was ruined with a stupid as dark slide down a skatepark rail and now this. I bet Greco already regrets that ender....
-
Well, between this and Greco, at least we now know that it takes about 20 years for most pros to catch up to Rodney.

i bet the footage looks like shit

that fancy footwork is inherently what makes those bros so enjoyable to watch skate. Obviously an enviable skill, speaking for myself, I'd be fucking suchooing into and out of everything, on all manner of planetered ledges, not givin zero fucks about my frequent violation of rules pending to angular momentum.
Bros should skate how they see fit. For every Braydon you need a TimTim, for every Gagne one Brock, for every Decenzos bros, a Zattoni Brothers. You see where I'm going with this...good skateboarding is like trying to decide "what is pornographic?"--the answer is the same, you know it when you see it. Fuck the trends.
Plus, if you purposefully try and skate trendy by definition you're a huge gay, totally upriver, and yurr blowin it

Rowley and Boulala pioneered the novelty of people that aren't Mullen doing darkslides a decade ago.

Except 1.) they didn't do it on rails (I guess maybe we can count that rail-ledge hybrid in Lyon), 2.) they weren't 360 flipping into them, and 3.) I said most, not all. Good try though. (Oh, and Boulala barely rode away from his one in Sorry and I don't remember seeing him to one after that. You could have said Haslam, but even then, he's super tech so he wouldn't be the best counterexample either.)

I remember there being a Mike Youssefpour Birdhouse ad of him darksliding a pretty decent sized rail in like '92. I'm sure it was caveman and a bail, but it was still pretty sick that he got on there.
gnar for anyone who can dig up that ad

haha i was kidding cause im not that kind of guy but greco's last trick was a darkslide on a tiny rail he built and was done in all seriousness where wes did it on a tall mellow rail as a dork trick that happened to get cover because he did it with style

god, thats a horrible trend.

Fuck everybody who doesn't like this or thinks that darkslides look bad!! They've looked bad because nobody has done them good. I'm counting on wes to change that

That was one of the raddest tricks done in awhile. Fuck you.

I learned early on that I have too much respect for my grip to learn these, but I back them. It's cool that you can see how the previous attempts went in his grip.

You're a fucking idiot if you think he's just "fucking around". Multiple tries visible by the marks on his board and the gleam of sweat on his face beg to differ.

I like to call them "Scientology rails". Bringing your own rail and bolting it into a stair set is horrible. Greco blew it by having that as his last trick....so many others in his part would have fit.
-
wow... greco brought back the darkslide.

2:06 he's been darksliding for a while

fuck all this hate lol
backin wes, hyped he got a cover too.

This cover is funny because it is almost like a SLAP social experiment; "let's take a skater that everyone loves, and lets have him do a trick that we know people will hate on and see what happens".

If you have shake junt and grizzly grip then its ok to darkslide, because that is some ugly ass grip

The one good thing i will say about Wes' darkslide....
He was hauling ass... even landed hauling ass. It was pretty nuts to watch.

Hey Kalis, can you clarify wether it's a half heel or kickflip? :)
...this darksliding stuff always gets me pretty confused! Not that many people can make it look pretty (or even make it), and I think it's a weird direction to go with skateboarding - but then it's also pretty mindblowing and Rodney for sure can make it look good :-)
-
Goddamn that's amazing!
-
almost looks like he's going for having his feet on the nose and tail which seems really dangerous

omg so gay he shuld of jus stick to whatever slap thinks is cool

i liked spankys even though it was on a ledge and the cleanest..

grecos o so h8ed ender was the best landed one I've seen, caught perfectly.

as someone who works at a skateshop im dying to see how many noobs come in asking for me to regrip their perfect condition board with inexplicably thrashed griptape. should be interesting to see where this trend goes. also spanky's darkslide on that kinked miami hubba always sticks out to me

Yes, Sorry is amazing.
Apparently Wes rode away from this darkslide with good speed and Rowley and Rodney usually ride away super clean.
And because my nerd side is overpowering my don't give a shit side, I'm king to guess he heelflipped into it.

2:32 quarter pipe darkslide.

Greco was way gnarlier. It was on at least a knee high rail.
-
This cover rules on so many levels. Whoever is hating is way too cool apparently.

Ive never really been that into darkslides, but sometimes they look cool. Wes can do no fucking wrong though so Im backing this, maybe this will be in the new mafia video

Just because it took multiple tries doesn't mean he didn't do it out of whimsy.

visually i felt the cover would've been much better had the photo frame been right when he was on top of the board sliding, but either way its gnarly shit. wes kremer is a beast.
i do hope the darkslide shit doesnt take off TOO much tho. down this thing its dope but i can only imagine all the youtube fuckboys doing the ugliest darkslides & the most randomest of pro's tryna take em to every famous ledge. its a trick thats cool in moderation, but can very easily get played out.

agreed, not like you can tell if it's kick or heel anyway

Wes Kremer rules. Dude is high as fuck, mucking around on some rail, somebody shoots it and now its cover. What a champion.

Definitely wouldn't classify darksliding as a "trend" just because two people have done them within the last month.
Could see this shit popping off with the berrics minded youngsters in the near future, tho.
I've always thought they were kindof dope so I don't give a fuck, regardless
Some kind of darkslide popped out into a regular grind on a ledge on some THPS combo shit would be pretty cool.
Has anyone done a frontside darkslide yet?

I like that weird mullen tricks are making even a slight comeback. dark slides, caspers, and primos all within the last 6-7 months and in pro parts

Backside darklipslide would be tight.

This is super sick. I just hope darkslides dont "blow up" mainly so I don't have to deal with scraping little bits of griptape off of the ledge at the park.

This trend is the most awesome thing for us non sponsored skaters. Tearing the living shit out of your griptape and mangeling your board is genius.
Yes, this is clearly a marketing ploy.

A genius one. We all know griptape companies have been suffering losses for years because a board usually is gripped only once. Now however, with Greco and Kramer partnering with their grip sponsors, this darkslide trend will change everything. The time to invest in Grizzly is now.

I'm psyched on the cover. A lot of us have been backing him for years.
I can only imagine how fucking baked he was...

by the looks of Grecos wardrobe throughout the video i'd say hes changing his mind about pretty much everything on a daily basis.
