-

Insane.
Then I read it was switch :o

#switchgod

Does this confirm he definetly rides for Krooked and not that Mother thing?
-
No, he was just invited on the tour as a guest. From the same issue of Thrasher:

That's gnarly and makes me feel inadequate cause I can't even 360 flip
-
even an ollie would've been huge on this
-
god status.
-
dunno if its the angle or what, but that looks as large or larger than zack wallin's street kickflip. but that doesn't seem plausible? confused. amazed.
-
We should be on the lookout for a clip of this pretty soon I'm guessing
-
giggling at all the people who were so bummed on him "not skating to his potential" whenever that Converse pole jam video came out.
was a ridiculous sentiment at the time and now it's even more ridiculous

amen brother

I forget, who used to say Jake was 'fakin the funk'? Was that Mocha Mike, of all people?
-
speechless. no speech.

Fuck...

Camera angle makes the gap seem a lot bigger, it's probably around 6ft long, you can see the shadow on the small steps
-
i'm looking at it more closely, and this is some seriously tricky optical illusion type shit. he's definitely taking off and landing in the brightly lit spot, but he appears much closer to the camera. probably because he's so goddamn tall.

The gap is the same width at any given point in the frame. No way it's as big as Wallin's ollie/kickflip, but it's bigger than six feet for sure.
Gnarly as hell though. Rad he can have a gnarly wallie and a huge tech trick in the same mag.
-
Photoshop potential is high on this one
-
That's some great camera work.

what's the craziest flatground switch tre before this?

looks shopped can we get this measured, illuminati scum skateboard industry trying to get one over on us
-
ok honestly I was bored, found the spot on google earth, and its roughly 7.5 feet across.

not exactly flat but adrian williams in some think video
-

how would the camera angle make it look so much bigger, im really asking. any photographers here
-
Forget how wide that shit is, Jake should be in the NBA with that 6 foot vertical leap of off flat.
-
Had to open the image in a separate tab and gaze at it for 2 mins
to see that its a clever angle trick. Gap is still pretty big though

I think the issue is that you can't really tell which part of the gap he's skating. He could be way further from the camera than you instantly assume because there's nothing to put where he is into perspective. Sick photo either way.
-
I don't know about you guys but even calling that waterway a creek would be a stretch in my book
-
FAP
-
I need to see the video of this just to see if the gap is as big as it looks in the photo..... If so then that's absolutely fucked and JJ just kicked every other switch 3 flip ever done directly in the testicles

hey i live like 10 minutes from there! it's in Seoul South Korea (Yeouido Park at Yeouinaru Station if you happen to give a fuck)
awesome shot and trick but that photo is deceptive. it's about as wide as a parking spot. sick photo though.
here are some other angles of that stream

-
damn, you must get to skate a lot of cool spots. still a rad trick, but that photo makes it look way gnarlier.
-
fuck me eh
-
south korea is so untapped in terms of spots, defs the next china
also, sif he didn't firecracker down the first step to switch tre UP said river
-
What mag is this from? Can somebody scan the whole article please?
-
There are many reasons I'm embarrassed to have 200+ posts on slap; a lot of "guilty by association". But the second-hand embarrassment I feel for a dude that used Google Earth to measure the length of a gap in a photo is overwhelming.
-
^funniest thing i've read on the internet all week
-
hey man live free or die
-
I can't really comprehend what's going on here. Is he landing off-frame? Is this even real? I'm almost questioning the authenticity of this, unless it's just really good camera work.

I'm not really sure what's going on to be honest. The little water way at points at points is very narrow (like a leg on each side narrow) and at a small amount of other parts it is about a parking space (but no wider).
Most importantly ithey hit up Seoul, the amount of spots here is mind blowing.

I love jake but I'm not really a fan of photos that you can't see the landing properly.
The photographer should have panned left a bit.
-
The section he's doing the switch tre over is visibly wider than those photos you posted. Look at the stepping stones.

just shot coffee out my nose...hahah holy fuck
I saw this pic this morning and though, that is a fucking large tre flip... never even thought to check if it was switch :o

herrington's goes no doubt but that street gap is relatively small, probably around 5 and a half feet plus the runway is near perfect
-

if the blocks in the background should work as a bridge, you can estimate how long it is.
-
Do you guys know how small the Koreans are? They are sailing steamboats down this.
-
Aside from this trick looking bananas,
I'd love to see JJ on The Krooked. That would be really Fucking Great.
C'mon DLX. Step up.
(And snag Suciu too)

it's a good photo but i don't think its a Gonz situation

Jake Johnson is refreshing for sure but most of you would have multi-boners if he rode for HUF and Magenta, etc. whatever. SKATEBOARDING NEEDS A GONZ AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stayed up for four days with my protractor, calculator, and anti-mater confibulator. . . ok long story short, it is 1456 cm wide which is technically the biggest sw 360 flip to date by 3200mm. and whoever said "god status" is realistically a piece of shit, yeah you heard me whatever your called. troll me please bitch.
-
god status.
if you meant this dude, would you call him GOD? he would not consider himself a GOD whatsoever. hes in reality, you are not. plus spell god with all caps, its the only word that is GOD. I ain't even religious and you piss me off, i would not want to fight though, since you are clearly a bitch, BITCH.
-
If you guys look you can tell he's hanging from like a pipe or something on the ceiling. I think he is hanging there and then someone out of frame just threw his board all wizzle wazzle like and it looks like he's pulling a trick.

What the fuck are you talking about?
-
I'd love to hear the story of him going on this trip, getting tricks such as this, then telling them thanks but no thanks before Thrasher can retract their news of him joining Krooked.

ogcoors on hard drugs confirmed

It was me. He is.

I'm thinking they've used similar methods, as the photo shown in the bottom . #GodblessPhotoshop
Concerning the looks of the photo, in all seriousness, the photographer has most likely used a wide angle, and then chosen, in relations to using a wide angle, to walk far away. That's why the gap looks so damn big. It's "magnified" being close to the lens, but as mentioned, JJ is most likely leaping of and landing somewhere around where you see the light from the flashes, which is pretty damn far from the photographer.
But what a coincidence that Pops happened to be there btw. Don't get why they choose to edit him out of the original. :/

This is correct. The lens is quite close to the ground, while still retaining really good foreground focus (a shallow depth-of-field would break the illusion), thus creating an odd perspective (parabolic?). This works well because homeperson is tall as fuck.

THERE IS NO SARCASM I AM COMPLETELY SERIOUS. I HAVE ALSO, IN THE MEANTIME, TRAVELED TO SPOT AND HAVE TAKEN PRECISE MEASUREMENTS. THE ONLY WAY TO LAND THIS IS WITH A PRO BOARD. GAY WAS RIGHT IT WAS ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS (READ THIS IN A ROBOT VOICE)

fucking scientist. why don't you just post a pic of your photography degree. I am going to start saying shit that i went to school for here soon, i didn't you could get smarter on here. . .

I like how I said I live there and posted photos of the spot and people are still have problems wrapping their heads around it.
If that was Chaz Ortiz this would not even be a discussion.

Holy shit
Switch 360 flip is the last thing to be done over a gap that big.
Get this guy on Mocha

So this gap is just over 47'9'' and its the biggest switch 360 flip by about 10.5' ? Thats so crazy! I'm also shocked that the switch 360 flip before this was across a 37'3'' gap! ... And to think el Toro is roughly 19 feet long and people have trouble doing regular bs flips down it... crazy world! ;D
