The whole Etnies Team is on a Euro tour
(https://etnies.com/content/posts/thumbs/etskate-recogtour-posternew.jpg-blog.jpg)
The only one going to Wallenberg is Willow, he seriously is the only Etnies Rider that is getting to go to Wallenberg!
All the others are required to stay on the tour!
check out his new ad!
Switch Heel

If you are 100% sure they wont be there then this is awesome. I think they would be afraid to fuck up their perfect marketable boyish faces anyway, nobody skates that place without getting torn up
-
that's what i was told be someone who would know,..
i think it's more that they want the Kids in europe to get to know their idols, so they can't afford to get Malto an Sheckler off a marketing tour to do the contest,...
urope is a huge market so they need to be present there,..
hyped for willow though! that kid deserves his credit!
-
pretty sure sheckler is in DC now, so he might come.
-
from what I am told it doesn't matter whether he is in DC or not he'll be on the etnies tour.
and he'll be required to stay on it!

I dont even like the stuff sheckler skates

Why would you be happy someone's not going to be at a contest? that's some hater shit. I absolutely dispise chris cole ans his shitty style, but if there's a game of skate or a best trick contest i want him to be there. I want anyone that has a chance at winning to be there. What's a contest without contenders?
-
If Sheckler is so bad, why wouldn't you want to see him lose legitimately? Being stoked that he's "required" not to show up means that you're probably just stoked that he can't show up and crush all of your favorite shitty pros... and fyi I doubt Etnies could "require" him to do anything.
Personally I want to see what the kid could do either at Wallenberg or at LOVE. I'd love to see this board's reaction if he showed up Pappalardo and decided to switch kickflip it hahahaha.
-
Ryan's going to miss the big game?!?!?
Meh, he comes across as a little douchebag to me, but at the same time he'd also probably win. Two separate things completely (douchness/skill).

I'll tell ya what the board's reaction would be - it would be similar in tone to that of a jealous teenage girl. A lot of whining and delusion. Dudes getting absurdly picky about the legitimacy of his tricks, even though they'd be godly if anyone else threw 'em down. The PALS care that much about image. This is just one of their weird ways that they show it.

sheklar dont even do switch flips..let alone a monsterous gap. get wit it

^See?

i'm not a fan of Sheckler but i did want to see him show up and try to skate it. i really don't care who it is, if you land something down that then i'll be impressed.
-

I don't know anything about his switch skating, but he's sort of known for doing some pretty big fucking tricks. Add to that, he's a contest skater so he's not as liable to choke like more infrequent contest skaters would.

Dude can't you read?
i never said i was stoked for Sheckler not being there.
The more heavy hitters are there the more interresting it is gonna get.
And fyi I think Etnies can actually require him to be places, since he is under contract, so I guess certain things need to be done,..
-
Think Sheckler's got anything in his bag for Wallenburg that isn't ABD?
-
Hardlfip
-
ive been wondering this whole time.....are there any secret ABDs? shit people were saving for videos?
-
that should be willows year if flip release the video.

not only that but it'll be pretty lame if reynolds bs flips it at the contest or someone else does it since we know the one reynolds already did is gonna be in his emerica part, possibly his ender too.

The gap is just so big I don't really think too much more is coming....maybe a switch flip or switch heel but nollieflip....NO WAY!
Either way people are still going to be jumping down that thing like it's off the roof into leaves.

You learned something new everyday. The fact that he felt the need to post still probably means he's hyped on it.
-
exactly
-
the only things i think could go down for sure would be a switch heel from either furby or antwuan dixon (if they're there), a fs 360 from lutzka, and a bs 360 from cole. sheckler has a very limited bag of tricks that he could actually throw down huge sets two of which, backside and 360 flip, have already been done. the only thing i could see him doing is maybe a hardflip though i still feel like there's a big difference between taking that over a tall set and one that is really long and i have never seen him do one over a really long gap.
-
You guys act like ryan sheckler doesn't skate every day and learn new tricks. He's not bobby puleo or pops, his career relies on his progression.
-
dude, sheckler's just a crowd pleaser. so anything that is hard, he will try and most likely stick it. everyone will eat it up and he'll love it. make that money.
but back to the real topic...i'd like to see a fs shove or bigspin. even switch will do.

i laughed harder at the fact he thinks shecklers career relies on progression. dude's puttin out his clothing line in jc penny or where ever it is. his career relies on people buying his name. noone buying his shit gives a fuck what he's doing. as long as he's pretty and on tv.

jeremy reeves. he front popped that triple set in minnesota (?) in his wtf part so you know he can do them over lengthy stuff and he already pop shove meloned wallenberg. i could see it.

honestly, not too bummed about sheckler showing. the only thing i could see him trying is a backside flip which is abd... the rest of his bag is all indoor park stuff, so nothing exciting about seeing him at wallenberg
Malto on the other hand had the possibility of switch flipping it... if nothing else i'd love to see someone carcass switch at wallenburg.
his hardflips aren't that bad either... but those seem like a trick that's not too easy to get distance on... but i guess we'll never know...
or will we?

saw mikemo in the shop the other day, asked him if he was gonna be in it, he said maybe. so if he shows up i think he'd be a definite contender for switch flip or switch heel.

Jeremy is hurt hung out with him this past week. Ankle is FUCKED it's either heal up or surgery, So scratch him off the list.

do you guys think james brockman might try shooting heroin into his dick on the four stair in the middle of the contest? shooting heroin into your dick on an obstacle at the tampa contest is one thing but to stage that at wallenburg with so many people going at one set of stairs at such a high speed, it would be mind blowing.

I remember hearing that Reeves already tried the front shove at wallenburg but came up short and broke some bones in his foot or something. Thrasher maybe? Id be psyched on a Brad Cromer switch flip if hes there, hes got them proper...

I'll tell ya what the board's reaction would be - it would be similar in tone to that of a jealous teenage girl. A lot of whining and delusion. Dudes getting absurdly picky about the legitimacy of his tricks, even though they'd be godly if anyone else threw 'em down. The PALS care that much about image. This is just one of their weird ways that they show it.
You come off as a jealous teenage girl. You got rejected by most for being so stupid and have started talking shit as if you hate them, but really, its you venting the frustration of being rejected. Look at all of your posts, you always reference what you think others think, and then say you are better.
I'm glad Sheckler won't be there, not because I care who wins or loses. I really don't care at all. What I want to see is skateboarders I like trying gnarly shit on a crazy gap. I don't like Sheckler, and he has the potential of doing a trick that I wanted to see somebody else doing, and taking that experience away from me.

I've never been to wallenberg, but it looks a hell of a lot bigger than love. love is huge but it seems ollieable for anyone who just went for it

That's probably the worst, most unfounded (not to mention illogical) psychoanalysis I've ever seen.
I'd say "nice try", but it really wasn't. More like "desperately reaching at straws that aren't there" type shit. Sad.

pretty sure jayme fortune stuck a switch flip in some digital down the burg like 3 or 4 years ago.. i know i saw it but can't remember which video. didn't land, but made it all the way and slipped out.

pretty sure jayme fortune stuck a switch flip in some digital down the burg like 3 or 4 years ago.. i know i saw it but can't remember which video. didn't land, but made it all the way and slipped out.
In the credits of sane. You dudes are definitely over estimating how big it is. Jayme does't even skate big shit and almost made it to the end, furby or mike mo would probably switch flip first try.

honestly, not too bummed about sheckler showing. the only thing i could see him trying is a backside flip which is abd... the rest of his bag is all indoor park stuff, so nothing exciting about seeing him at wallenberg
Malto on the other hand had the possibility of switch flipping it... if nothing else i'd love to see someone carcass switch at wallenburg.
his hardflips aren't that bad either... but those seem like a trick that's not too easy to get distance on... but i guess we'll never know...

pretty sure jayme fortune stuck a switch flip in some digital down the burg like 3 or 4 years ago.. i know i saw it but can't remember which video. didn't land, but made it all the way and slipped out.
if switch flip would come that easy to them they would of already done it plus a lot more. how come we've never seen either of them skate the burg... oh cause its long as fuck. maybe in a comp... even that's pushing it. if anyone's going for the switch flip i'd love to see cromer get it.

if you're gonna bitch about how 'short' it is... take into account the roll in that Phelps is planning on setting up
shouldn't be like Reynold's semi-vert roll in, but still, that's mad speed

I think that's one of the main aspects:
You gotta do the trick at top speed!

No one skates it because you're not going to be super famous for doing something down it. Carlsbad makes you more famous than wallenburg.

No way. Everything has been done down Carlsbad and people skate it every day. I don't see anyone blowin up over what they did down Carlsbad. Maybe it would have made you famous in 1998 but not today
-
Look at all the ams that have done something recently down carlsbad .Pretty much everyone that has done something down carlsbad is super famous now, and the people that have done shit down wallenburg still don't matter. The only two that people care about are cole and reynolds, maybe darrell, but everyone else is broke and lame.

almost nobody has landed stuff down wallenberg though. What has been done down it since that contest? backside flip by reynolds, 360 flip by cole and shuv it melon by jeremy reeves. reynolds is already famous, and got the cover of thrasher. coles popularity blew up and I still hear kids talking about that 360 flip, and jeremy reeves trick was kinda a joke anyway. when rumors of that willow guy bigspinning it came out the buzz was everywhere, and it was just a rumor. if somebody went and switch tre'd it or hardflipped it they would get a lot of attention. In my mind at least

If Sheckler is so bad, why wouldn't you want to see him lose legitimately? Being stoked that he's "required" not to show up means that you're probably just stoked that he can't show up and crush all of your favorite shitty pros... and fyi I doubt Etnies could "require" him to do anything.
Personally I want to see what the kid could do either at Wallenberg or at LOVE. I'd love to see this board's reaction if he showed up Pappalardo and decided to switch kickflip it hahahaha.
I'll tell ya what the board's reaction would be - it would be similar in tone to that of a jealous teenage girl. A lot of whining and delusion. Dudes getting absurdly picky about the legitimacy of his tricks, even though they'd be godly if anyone else threw 'em down. The PALS care that much about image. This is just one of their weird ways that they show it.
I'm glad Sheckler won't be there, not because I care who wins or loses. I really don't care at all. What I want to see is skateboarders I like trying gnarly shit on a crazy gap. I don't like Sheckler, and he has the potential of doing a trick that I wanted to see somebody else doing, and taking that experience away from me.
That's probably the worst, most unfounded (not to mention illogical) psychoanalysis I've ever seen.
I'd say "nice try", but it really wasn't. More like "desperately reaching at straws that aren't there" type shit. Sad.
See? This is that jealous teenage girl shit. They make shit up because that's all they (you) got. Hell, this very thread doesn't even support what you're saying. Show me where I "say I'm better".
Uh huh. Yep. You're reduced to making shit up because I've obviously struck a nerve with you. Truth hurts... some people.
Thanks for proving my point, that was easy!

I agree with nkarasch. Carlsbad is definitely a proving ground and made loads of people famous.
But as kids get better I think Wallenberg is just gnarlier.
Agreed not much went down there and some of the tricks people couldn't care less about, no amtter how hard they are ( KF Melon) because they don't like the dudes.
Still I think Wallenberg is gnarlier.
-
i can't even remember the name of the dude that did the inward heel down carlsbad in the vox video, but then again i didn't even think felipe ortiz was that good until i saw him stick that 360 kickflip down it. still, dudes in la skate carlsbad for fun if you search it up on youtube.

Regardless of people's fame on Wallenburg, whoever lands anything in this new comp will be famous or more famous then they already are. This competition is so hyped up right now.

I hope furby shows up with his vulcan hair and lands everybody else's trick and then beams his way out.

skateboarding is about being famous.... and rap videos.....

It is absolutely regular to try to compare Wallenberg to Carlsbad. For starters, the ground at Wallenberg is way fucked up, and the gap itself is a lot longer and a lot less tall (comparatively). That's why you see technical shit going down at Carlsbad (Brandon Turner's switch hardflip, Jim Greco's nollie 360 cab flip bullshit, etc.), and you see more simple tricks going down at Wallenberg (kickflip melon, popshuv it grab etc.)

We werent really debating how much harder wallenberg is to skate, that is a given. We were talking about which brings more attention/fame to skateboarders that stick tricks down them. Yeah you are right though

Oh, my bad. I misread your postings.
Carlsbad has definitely had more people do shit down it, but only because it's an easier gap to skate. There have been plenty of no-names to do shit down it (Brandon Turner shut the thing down for years, and look at how big he is right now) also. Wallenberg also has a lot of fags doing shit, because only a kook like Danny Gonzales would think to kickflip melon something.

doing a kickflip melon down wallemberg first try makes you a fag?

wallenburg is waaaaaaay gnarlier than carslbad you cant even compare the 2. That lil greg myers shit, switch backside flipped carlsbad and no one gave a fuck, if someone did perfect switch backside flip like that down wallenburg people would literally shit their pants... thrasher would have to hand out a free ''depend'' with every issue.
-
kickflip melon before anybody else had done any fliptrick over it at all is pretty gnar. The reason it gets hated on is because Phelps had a field day talking shit on grabbing down it and clowned Danny Gonzales non-stop. The reason Phelps hated on it was because Danny Gonzales sued Thrasher for putting his likeness on the cover of the video game without his permission. Since he never tried to sue me, I'll give Danny his due and say that was pretty gnarly.
I think we all can agree wallenberg is gnarlier and landing something down it is a bigger deal than carlsbad. Lets not get to insane over it. Yes I see the irony in me saying this.
-
Wallenburg is bigger, but people still don't care. Why do you think kids go skate carlsbad? because they think they're about to get famous. If kids ever realize this about wallenburg, i guarantee more shit will go down.

i'll agree with that statement. it would suck to go through the trouble of setting up a roll in and then after one or two tries you realize that your trick isn't happening. that's probably why most people don't even bother with it.

If Danny Wainwright or whatever went fast enough I guess he could ollie up the 3, would probably need to be pulled by a dragster or something to get the speed. I do not understand how people can have 40"+ ollies

that's pretty good...
but i think yeah, whoever lands anything during the contest will blow up. if they're an am, possibly pro status.
and as far as the wal vs. carlsbad... wal is a high speed carcass toss while 'bad is parachute skating
one is more fun to watch
deal with it
-
definitely no comparison to carlsbad, if you don't get your trick in like 2 tries at wallenburg you're going seriously hurtin for a long time.

that's probably true, although i dont think he was that 'well established'. i feel he's still quite 'unknown' as far as pro skaters go.
