As an aside, I actually really like that new Workshop 'Archival' board series in the Jake ad. I see Gilbert has an 8.3 in the series, so I might have to scoop that.

was thinking the same thing. no doubt it's gnarly and i could never do anything like it, but it's a bank ride.

you're an idiot. It looks like one of those banks that's so steep it's impossible to get to the top of, let alone ride more that five feet on. It's also slick looking marble and looks to end somewhere near vert ramp high. It's a wallride

first time I saw this spot, I went and stood at the top, knowing what would inevitably happen, but unable to really conceive of it. Still not sure that I can.
Not only is it a wallride, it is pretty much the wallride.

Wallride is a catch-all term. This isn't tax law. So to define it as a "wallride" you require a 90 degree angle? Do bank to walls count? How about wallies should they sometimes be called bankies?
I understand how the slightest bank on a wall surface makes wallriding WAY easier, but you are arguing technicalities, just look at the nice photograph.

I straightened the picture out since it had a deceiving tilt. It looks less steep now, but it still looks way steeper than the beryl banks. And those are pretty much the steepest banks one can skate like a bank. I'd say that alone makes it a wallride.
Also, I feel for his ankles if he bailed at all and tried to run out on those stairs.

definitely a wallride. i think of it this way. at the bottome of the first set you still couldnt roll up that "bank" to the top. and do a stall, maybe not even at the very top where its only like 4 ft it would still be a pain in the ass to go straight up it
-
I heard he landed it, then got out a barometer and checked wiki.
So upset that it wasn't a wall, he straight Instagrammed it.

The Snake is right of course, technically. Yet 'wallride' is a fairer description of this, similar to how one may call those who discriminate on outward appearance, racists - they are not technically racists, but their behavior is so appalling that it deserves a word with strong connotations. Severely slanted bank-ride is unpractical but also does not do it justice.

I hate to not be that guy but that's a fucking bank. If you wanna call it a wall ride that's fine but your wrong. He is able to carve over all the stairs because he has the grip of his wheels. You don't get that on a wall, simple science really.
I find it hard to believe this is nbd. I wouldn't want to live in a place that had a spot like that and not one skater that wouldn't give that thing a ride. If that was in LA it would have been carved 20yrs ago.

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:
(http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Parish-House-St-Josef-by-Frei-and-Saarinen-Architects-17.jpg)
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.

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.

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.

Actually, you don't know what "semantics" means. What it means is that the person before, and now you, are arguing over what to call it, as if it makes any difference in terms of how gnarly it is. Also, mentioning ways it could be gnarlier is also stupid child shit. It would also be gnarlier if the wall was over a pit of hungry crocodiles. Who cares? That shit is gnarly and a bunch of semantic obsessed children who don't understand the dynamics of how wallrides work are whining. The wallride is rad, the kids complaining and nitpicking are not.

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.

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...

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.
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.
Technically? - according to what?
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

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:
(http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Parish-House-St-Josef-by-Frei-and-Saarinen-Architects-17.jpg)
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.

gipper you are too old to be getting that mad on the internet. no matter how well spoken you think you are, at the end of the day you're basically a youtube commenter. i can appreciate a semantics argument over skateboarding -- that's what this site is for. i get pretty bummed when i see a thread fade away after a page or two of unanimous agreement. i can also appreciate pointing out that someone is stupid. but you only post when you're somehow mindblown that someone posted a stupid opinion on slap, so that you can insult them multiple times per post. it's obvious that you're just a bitter person, presumably from not enjoying your real life.
that said, this is definitely a wallride. the standard is not what you can do on your skateboard because people can drop in (and even roll in) on 90 degree walls. the standard should be whether or not you can feasibly walk up that shit without being spider-man or having a grappling hook. nobody is opting to take the "bank" instead of the stairs to save time. it's a wall.
-
it's metal, not marble
-
I find it hilarious when people on here get so offended by others opinions and think making long self centered post will contribute anything.
I will add one more post to my reasoning then let it alone.
If that "bank" had a 90� "wall" at the top and Jake rode up it would it be a wall to wall ride?
If this is a wallride, than wouldn't that make every "bankride" a wallride? Is their some magic degree that people use to differentiate the two?
Cause I have one and it's called a right angle.
-

1. skateboard trick names are not literal
2. a wallride is a trick, not a description of what is going on
3. yes, he is riding his skateboard on a banked surface
4. no, there is no such trick as a "bankride"
5. this is a picture of someone doing a wallride on a banked surface
does that help, or is it just fuel on the fire?
-
Who the fuck calls it a bankride? He's carving, the trick he is doing is carving over a gigantic doubleset.
Edit: I saw this spot a few months ago, it's crazy he was able to stay on for the whole thing. And it's in a very tourist-y, cultural area that was a quick bust the time I was near there.

I guess, according to logic present in this thread, it is a switch backside(heelside) bankride, over stairs and a pole, with a two-wheeler out, assisted by gravity and marijuana, without a hand drag to ride away.
Desriptive enough for the trick? Although I should probably comment that he is wearing a blue sweater.

-
Damn that minefield wallride kinda debunked me at tad out of sheer radness.Though I will stick by my reason just to fire up some rants and say that mindfield trick was as much a switch wallie as it was a switch wallride.
I think my original point would be easier to prove if we had footage. If he is able to support himself with the friction his wheels have because he is not on a vertical surface, it is more obviously a steep ass bank. Pictures lie. Ads lie. I lie.

haven't been in a dog's age but i remember a seattle high school having some steep bank going down like 20 stairs. it was mellower than this by far, we were able to go up and down it. had nothing on this but kinda reminds me of the layout. i'm enjoying the debate but if anyone can post a picture of that seattle bank that'd be tit.

You are thinking of Garfield High, and it was more like ten stairs but yes you could go up and down the bank next to the stairs.
I guess you could do it higher if you came off on one of the stairs and did it that way but I don't know if that's what you meant.
The spot has been changed since I skated it way back in the late 80s, couldn't find any pics from back then but I think this is how it looks now:

Sorry for tiny picture (its the middle one) but all I could find of the particular area you're thinking about.

BUT BACK TO JAKE FUCKING JOHNSON!!
Insane trick, definitely a wallride but on a banked wall big whoop, call it a carve if you like but he is a fucking monster and this is one of the raddest things you will see this year.

now thats a wallride you could take straight to the bank..
