It started at Wallenberg in 1991, when Jesse Paez frontside 180’d the Big Four for 263 bucks. The kickflip was up next; Markovich got denied, but we gave him the cash anyway after some serious stacks. Then came 2004. I called ’em out, they came, they saw, they got broke. Aaron Artis? Gizmo? Anybody remember Elissa Steamer? Everybody out there, save the date and put this on your radar: On August 30th, 2008, history will be made as SF rises again. $10,000 for first place, $25,000 purse (this ain’t no Maloof shit, bitch), and I’ll give a grand to any broad who’ll jump the secret stack that we got lined up. Reynolds? Duffel? Ramondetta? Romero? Malto? Bachinsky? Gravette? Fellers? Dompierre? Come on down, more details coming real soon...

get richie to powerslide down em

Lets see Malto with the Hardflip.
Leo with a nollie 180
and Antwuan with a Switch Heel.

Skateboarding is selling out so fast that I think they're going to run out of ideas to make it even gayer than it is right now.

He should get Dave Duncan to announce it.

i'll kill myself if i ever have to listen to that tool again.

rodney mullen 720 fingerflip
-
I think Reynolds might try back heel and i know Bachinsky went there to try hardflip more than once
-
I'm going to dress up in drag and huck my carcass for a grand. I figure the last stairset I ollied was four stairs, so this is pretty similar to that.
-
about that broad part, i think marisa del santo has a serious chance of olling it. unless ellisa can get to it first.

the first one was so gnarly.
hopefully lindsey rob. might get his bs heel.
shit would be super dope.
-
think someone could nollie fs 180 it?
random thought, but I think that would that would be way radder than a hardflip.

he didn't make the location clear. where else in sf could it be?

it would probably have to be in a place that can house a large crowd (which Wallenburg was perfect for). No bust-free spots that fit that criteria spring to mind.

Lincoln 13?

i could see Manfre nollie frontside healfliping it.

it was pretty clear in the first paragraph

California street gap son!

not really the same allure anymore...

As a tribute to cards.
Union Square Rail. The big gold one.

the first one was amazing

that would be scary to watch

Lincoln 13?
that would be perfect except last time i heard, there were portables on the landing, could definetley be different by now

leo will still ollie over it
-
because he said secret stack i'm guessing that it's probably a set of stairs or something & not a street gap. i don't think it would be smart to have a bunch of people there anyway. somebody mentioned the lincoln set & i actually think that would be a good place to have it.
-
As lame as everyone probably thinks it is, I've always imagined this type of thing going down at El Toro. If you're gonna do it, might as well go all out. Put up a Maloof esque prize pool and shit would get gnarly. Too bad it's gone.
-
California Street gap got paved in, and would probably be the worst setting for an event ever. The Lincoln 13 is done, but the 14 rail is still there, but that wouldn't really work out, because its in a weird corner. You know where a cool place would be? That one school with the 2 twelve sets in a row. Make people do double lines. Maybe next year...
-
yeah, but would it be a big deal, or even worth a grand if a chick ollied a 13? not really, it has to be something else.
yeah i guess that's true. & now that i think of it, it really has to be more of or at least an equal challenge that wallenberg gives. & i'm just having a hard time thinking of anything in san francisco that fits the bill.
-
that gap that ramondetta ollied in Its time the one to the street?
-
I'm going no matter where. Psyched.

truth, and the fact that its not even at wallenburg? wtf.

adam mcnatt is going to bring a foldable rail, set it up quickly, and fs 50-50 nollie flip out (@ wallenburg)

right after he nollie cabbed out and rode away into the sunlight while fist pumping in the air.

they dont even mention danny gonzalez's flip melon on the list

maybe that 16 reynolds fs flips in TIS?

They're just listing off people they paid to do it. They didn't mention Gonz, Gerwer, Cole, or Reynolds either. Doesn't have anything to do with Danny Gonzales beef.

They didn't mention Danny's kickflip melon in the skate and destroy book, though.

Thats because they hate him. Duhhhhhh

what we really need right now is a fugly mongoloid with a megaphone and some kids hucking themselves like lemmings, wasnt maloof and x games 300 enough?
-
I’ll give a grand to any broad who’ll jump the secret stack that we got lined up.
^alliteration
Is Jake Phelps some kind of beatnik or something?
I also like that poem about Stranger he spontaneously composed in the Cardiel Epicly Later'd:
the gritty grime of the city slime
*snap snap snap*
-
I think its just going to be something that they made because it would be a lot easier to get the permits and all that kinda stuff.

As long as Sal Masekela is announcing I'm there.

it's going to be at the 16 stair set/rail bastien kick flip front boarded and reynolds f/s flipped at the end of this is skateboarding.

that would be one hell of a contest. I think it would work better than a wallenberg just because there would be more than 4 tricks landed in the whole thing.
-
Someone should front blunt it.

whats going to be better than a kick front board? and once again, it is that gnarly if a girl ollies it? wallenburg is gnarly, phelps makes it sound like this location is supposed to be gnarlier.
Higher likelyhood of injury if some unprepared soul steps to it. The rail will be in play too. I don't think I've ever seen a girl ollie a set even close to 16 stairs.

Marisa Dal Santo kickflipped like a 12 or a 13. I could see her olleing a 16. That spot would be sick but I really want it to go down at wallenberg. Yeah, it's a 16, but Wallenberg is epic. Reynolds going for a back heel, hardflip from Bachinsky, it would be history in the making. That 16 is big but someone mentions a NBD down Wallenberg and you're immediately interested. At the 16, all I could see going down is a switch back 180, tre flip, a switch flip or heel, nollie flip or heel, a bs flip, etc. pretty much all the shit that's been done down hh but a better since the set is smaller, some shit's ABD and there's a cash prize. For the handrail: front blunt to fakie, back tail to fakie, fs noseblunt, switch crook, and some other shit. Didn't marks kickflip back 5050 it?
-
it should have been over California street gap (RIP)

that would be sick but how would they hold a crowd there? plus traffic, etc. i've never been there so i don't know all of the conditions but i've seen it in a couple skate videos and it seems like it would be hard to manage a contest there.
-
^ Heavy traffic area on a steep hill in the financial district of SF.
-
i've never been in person to either the set its allegedly going to be at, or the 16 at the maloof contest, but I can't help but connect the two and think of a barrage of everyone's tricks they have on lockdown going down...still rad to see and to hear what goes down, but no where near the epic nature of the original high noon at wallenburg contest
-
they should put a pole jam at the top of the four
-
Another one at Wallenberg would still be tight, the first one seemed like the craziest thing to see IRL.
I gained a whole new respect for Reynolds seeing that. All these pros were just hucking themselves and praying, and usually falling way short. Reynolds shows up late. Ollies the three, Ollies the 4, tries one or two frontside flips, and on the 3rd or 4th try, rolls away like it was nothing.
But in all honesty, as crazy as it was to see shit go down there, not much went down. I want carnage for this one!
-
if they ever do it again they better get some better crowd control... people don't give skaters enough room... it like trying to kill yourself in a narrow alley ffs... and they need a permit for more than one hour...

Leo 5050 up the rail FTW.

Leo something boring without any flavor down the rail FTW.
