What's your call? Do you seriously believe he cleared that? It's clear he lands about a foot short.

Considering all of you talking about how this might even be a make or not, if you look at Eli's carve, he get's down behind the bench a whole board length before it ends. Chances are that T-Funk does it in kind of the same way, and it might not have been done quite in the way you'd imagine.
I imagine him stretching his feet real far out before landing, carving down behind the bench. Maybe a slam where his calf gets caught on the corner of the bench catapulting him off sideways over the top of the bench.

I've never been to the spot actually. Isn't the bench positioned like a foot out from the bank? In that case, considering him landing on the bank and getting back on to the bench would be ridiculous..
[close]

OK now this makes sense, seeing how much room there is to land behind the bench without having to clear it. He doesn't have to clear the bench, just stay on the bank and carve out whatevers left. Still amazing considering that simply carving this was an Ender.

i dont know - I think that would be even more wild - jumping in that super steep brick wall  and adding a little carve for the last 3 feet???

I think it’s pretty safe to say he did a high speed carve over part of the bench, snapped a fs ollie and skurted around the end of it. That thing is no joke i really doubt anybody just aired the whole thing, i don’t even think that’s possible
[close]

He's definitely taking off from pretty deep in the bench, he might still be going up in the cover shot
[close]
I don't understand these statements.  If he rides up the bank, ollies over the bench then lands back in the bank then he ollied the bench.  It doesn't matter if he carves into it or not.
i’m not saying it doesn’t count. It’s really gnarly was just trying to clarify that he didn’t skate it like thps airing over the whole thing

Let's say they got 10 good photos of T-Funk, 9 of which were not makes and one was. Now let's say that photo 6 was the best looking photo. If he landed it and they got footage of it, why would they user the lesser quality photo #10 simply because it was the one taken during the make?

the way he did it is shifty
If the photo is a make then this. I feel like the very moment after the photo was captured, his back wheels sort of go a little higher in the air while his front trucks dip.


It's basically the only way he could possibly clear the whole thing if, again the cover photo was a make.



Also, as stated before, I can't fathom how the cover photo is a photo of the make. Not because of the angle, T-Funk's trajectory, or even the deceptiveness of the wide angle lens but because it looks like there's no way to get that photo at that angle while still giving T-Funk room to land.

Plus on the covers baby photo it looks like the photog is in the exact spot where T Funk would be landing.






However, I'm probably 100% wrong on all of this haha.

funny that people are categorically saying that he didn't clear when they know neither a) whether or not the photo is shot at the apex of his flight path, nor b) his velocity. these seem like the two most important variables for determining the distance of a parabolic trajectory.

Just imagining T-Funk, mid-ollie, catching a glimpse of the 4-story drop on the other side… absolutely unreal.

Maybe he didn't clear it all the way, but landed most of the way there and surfed/carved out the remaining brick space?

That would be sick if he went into the bank and jammed it on top of the bench.

I make myself carve the small one each time I’m in SF. It doesn’t get any less scary. The spot is so hard to skate.

based on the eli footage, the latest he could have popped is maybe here, about 1 3/4 - 2 full skatestoppers in. either way this is absolutely insane - having been there in person many times i wouldn't even have considered this possible.

that still photo of the bench straight on is accurate but is a little deceptive because it makes it look impossible to carve into - which it isn't. carving OUT of it though, out of a huge air like that is impossible and he had to have cleared it

Photos can be deceptive. Remember the Jake Johnson switch 360 flip photo over what looked to be a huge water gap? It turned out to be a lot smaller in footage. Obviously the China Banks wall is huge, but I'd say the same general principle applies.

I hate to say this, but there might be a chance that the cover isn't a make. Mags have run non-makes as covers before. For Thrasher to do this in 2021 is pretty unbelievable, but still possible.

Regardless, I'm choosing to believe that T-Funk did land this because it's just better to think positive.

If anyone can give an update, that'd be cool.
