Who agrees that this Autumn skate shop rider is gonna end up as "one" of those stylish characters from the east coast?
I'm not talking little talk, I'm saying as far as Bobby Puleo to even the Gino.

I certainly don't know what he will become.
But this is, for sure, my favourite thing from Mind Field:

how is it not a make? the gnarliest part about it is that he's coming in blind and has no idea if he's gonna end up over the stairs or be able to ride it out to the side...he ended up over the stairs and made the best of it.

If he rode away form that sequence it would have definetly been one of the best trick/line in his part. Just getting that close is mind blowing. Ive looked at it before remembering rodeny torres tre flip into it, shits seriously gnarly.

SFblah · « **Reply #10 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:36:15 AM »

I thought if he made that it would have been his ender cuz that is fucking nuts. The catch on that flip is so good.

Jake is lame. Someone take him to some decent spots, he might be able to put out an ok part.

it was fuckin perfect. Had he landed the last drop, it would've been the greatest thing ever.

i dont know why he didn't go back and land this

Epic · « **Reply #21 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:44:13 PM »

cause his mom made him promise to never go back there and try it due to the amount of icy hot she had to buy for his horrible scrapes and bruises from the filming of this video.

The Pillar · « **Reply #22 on:** February 21, 2009, 10:16:18 PM »

why would he need to land the drop?

I think the most interesting thing about this singular place, in the way he approached it, is that it forces a line, with the drop being the concluding trick. Recall that around 2000 and well before there was an certain inch that needed to be scratched by most filmed lines; if it happened that at the end of the line the board was being ridden tail fowards the rider would often bring the nose back around with a pop shuv-it or varial variation. I can think of Stevie Williams as an example on multiple occasions. E.g.

JJ's line here pleases me because he completes a full 360 rotation with the first two tricks (180; then, fakie fs flip) the only possible way to complete this cycle would be accomplished not by bringing the nose of the board back around, but instead by bringing his own nose around full circle through the somersault upon hitting the ground. 360 degrees on the y-axis followed by the same rotation on the x-axis.

no, there is definitely weed involved. probably some great potent 80% sativa 20% indica hybrid.

plenty of people have down tricks off the top drop and rode away off the lower drop. if it was a make, it would have been in his part.

with that said though, fs halfcab flip would have been the sickest thing to go down that thing and the way he does it is fucking sick.
