I was talking about this with some friends the other day. That trick is insane.
We've been there and it's literally just a wall that has been slightly pushed back. It's THAT steep.
My friends and I could even roll up the thing, and some other skaters were there as well to look at it.
We couldn't believe it.
That people did tricks on it is absolutely insane.
Only got to go there once, for about 30 minutes or so, a few years back. I had dreams of doing a few carves over the benches a la Animal Chin, just to say I did them.
I got there and fuck me, they are not ‘banks’, they are ‘mellow walls’.
No one was there, I had the place to myself, but took me many cycles of trying to ride up the banks, being like “fuck this”, giving up, sitting down, and trying again, to figure out just how much speed and the angles I needed to carve just a small bench. I finally did and was so stoked, but yeah, WAY harder than it looks on film.
Anything beyond a carve, much less an ollie over the long bench, is legendary
