Those were definitely insane but still believable. Like “Wow, I can’t believe anyone would try kickflip into that” or “Wtf that rail is dangerous”. But T funk’s ollie at China banks had people claiming he must have ollied onto the bench and shit. Like a lot of people were so sure that he couldn’t have possibly done what he did.
I get what you're saying, but that sort of "mythos" before the footage came out is due to the context of the rollout of the cover before the footage and the cover being such an odd photo.
Pro skaters in Philly thought that the Dane Burman rail was impossible for years and years. No one would even attempt it, let alone land it. It was Leap of Faith-esque in that regard. Its getting close to a decade now, and to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong) no one else has landed anything down that since? Maybe not even attempted?
I'm not taking anything away from T Funk, I'm just saying the Burman rail is definitely in a similar vein of insanity.
Dane Birman is a bigtime kook weirdo, openly telling 15 year olds he wished they weren’t 15 so he cuddle them or some weirdo shit. Gotta let it be known I can’t fuck with that type of shit at all.
That aside, yeah that was absolutely fucked. I beleive that rail has been gone for a long time now, unless I’m thinking of the other one. But I’m pretty sure that they are both long gone. I remember not believing it when I heard it.
How many people besides Chris cole really skated the big rail at love back in the day? Matt reason? RIP
It would be crazy to see the shit that would have happened by now if love was still there. Damn RIP.
It’s gotta be Louie 4 SOTY tho right? That line at the Bethlehem skatepark last week was absurd. those tricks were fucked on their own let alone in a line while laughing…That was fucked. Plus he seems to be on back to back to back trips with Burnett.
They’re already filming his soty part if you ask me fellas.
