Wallenberg Contest News! No Malto, No Sheckler (sic)

[ChildoftheGhetto]

Look at all the ams that have done something recently down carlsbad .Pretty much everyone that has done something down carlsbad is super famous now, and the people that have done shit down wallenburg still don't matter. The only two that people care about are cole and reynolds, maybe darrell, but everyone else is broke and lame.

almost nobody has landed stuff down wallenberg though. What has been done down it since that contest? backside flip by reynolds, 360 flip by cole and shuv it melon by jeremy reeves. reynolds is already famous, and got the cover of thrasher. coles popularity blew up and I still hear kids talking about that 360 flip, and jeremy reeves trick was kinda a joke anyway. when rumors of that willow guy bigspinning it came out the buzz was everywhere, and it was just a rumor. if somebody went and switch tre'd it or hardflipped it they would get a lot of attention. In my mind at least

If Sheckler is so bad, why wouldn't you want to see him lose legitimately? Being stoked that he's "required" not to show up means that you're probably just stoked that he can't show up and crush all of your favorite shitty pros... and fyi I doubt Etnies could "require" him to do anything.

Personally I want to see what the kid could do either at Wallenberg or at LOVE. I'd love to see this board's reaction if he showed up Pappalardo and decided to switch kickflip it hahahaha.

[close]

I'll tell ya what the board's reaction would be - it would be similar in tone to that of a jealous teenage girl. A lot of whining and delusion. Dudes getting absurdly picky about the legitimacy of his tricks, even though they'd be godly if anyone else threw 'em down. The PALS care that much about image. This is just one of their weird ways that they show it.

You come off as a jealous teenage girl. You got rejected by most for being so stupid and have started talking shit as if you hate them, but really, its you venting the frustration of being rejected. Look at all of your posts, you always reference what you think others think, and then say you are better.


I'm glad Sheckler won't be there, not because I care who wins or loses. I really don't care at all. What I want to see is skateboarders I like trying  gnarly shit on a crazy gap. I don't like Sheckler, and he has the potential of doing a trick that I wanted to see somebody else doing, and taking that experience away from me.

That's probably the worst, most unfounded (not to mention illogical) psychoanalysis I've ever seen.

I'd say "nice try", but it really wasn't. More like "desperately reaching at straws that aren't there" type shit. Sad.

[close]

That's not psychoanalysis. You reek of rejected and bitter. You don't need a PhD to figure it out.

See? This is that jealous teenage girl shit. They make shit up because that's all they (you) got. Hell, this very thread doesn't even support what you're saying. Show me where I "say I'm better".

Uh huh. Yep. You're reduced to making shit up because I've obviously struck a nerve with you. Truth hurts... some people.

Thanks for proving my point, that was easy!

I agree with nkarasch. Carlsbad is definitely a proving ground and made loads of people famous.
But as kids get better I think Wallenberg is just gnarlier.
Agreed not much went down there and some of the tricks people couldn't care less about, no amtter how hard they are ( KF Melon) because they don't like the dudes.
Still I think Wallenberg is gnarlier.

[Gomez]

i can't even remember the name of the dude that did the inward heel down carlsbad in the vox video, but then again i didn't even think felipe ortiz was that good until i saw him stick that 360 kickflip down it. still, dudes in la skate carlsbad for fun if you search it up on youtube.

the fact that you dont care about gerwer doesn't mean that the rest of the world feels the same way.

chhhh.  shut up slut.  you're fat and ugly, and I heard you sucked like ten dicks at dave's party



furby and bachinsky will spit roast wal

[Fongstarr.]

Regardless of people's fame on Wallenburg, whoever lands anything in this new comp will be famous or more famous then they already are. This competition is so hyped up right now.

[ccc333]

I hope furby shows up with his vulcan hair and lands everybody else's trick and then beams his way out.

Let me rephrase it, no one outside of slap cares about gerwer. Slap is like a cult, it's the only place where mike mo and p rod aren't seen as the best skateboarders.

honestly, not too bummed about sheckler showing. the only thing i could see him trying is a backside flip which is abd... the rest of his bag is all indoor park stuff, so nothing exciting about seeing him at wallenberg

Malto on the other hand had the possibility of switch flipping it... if nothing else i'd love to see someone carcass switch at wallenburg.
his hardflips aren't that bad either... but those seem like a trick that's not too easy to get distance on... but i guess we'll never know...

or will we?

[close]

pretty sure jayme fortune stuck a switch flip in some digital down the burg like 3 or 4 years ago..  i know i saw it but can't remember which video.  didn't land, but made it all the way and slipped out.

[close]

In the credits of sane. You dudes are definitely over estimating how big it is. Jayme does't even skate big shit and almost made it to the end, furby or mike mo would probably switch flip first try.

[close]

if switch flip would come that easy to them they would of already done it plus a lot more. how come we've never seen either of them skate the burg... oh cause its long as fuck. maybe in a comp... even that's pushing it. if anyone's going for the switch flip i'd love to see cromer get it.

No one skates it because you're not going to be super famous for doing something down it. Carlsbad makes you more famous than wallenburg.

skateboarding is about being famous....   and rap videos.....

[Dr. Newton 2.0]

It is absolutely regular to try to compare Wallenberg to Carlsbad. For starters, the ground at Wallenberg is way fucked up, and the gap itself is a lot longer and a lot less tall (comparatively). That's why you see technical shit going down at Carlsbad (Brandon Turner's switch hardflip, Jim Greco's nollie 360 cab flip bullshit, etc.), and you see more simple tricks going down at Wallenberg (kickflip melon, popshuv it grab etc.)

We werent really debating how much harder wallenberg is to skate, that is a given. We were talking about which brings more attention/fame to skateboarders that stick tricks down them. Yeah you are right though

Oh, my bad. I misread your postings.

Carlsbad has definitely had more people do shit down it, but only because it's an easier gap to skate. There have been plenty of no-names to do shit down it (Brandon Turner shut the thing down for years, and look at how big he is right now) also. Wallenberg also has a lot of fags doing shit, because only a kook like Danny Gonzales would think to kickflip melon something.

doing a kickflip melon down wallemberg first try makes you a fag?

interesting
 

[FROST YOUR TIPS]

wallenburg is waaaaaaay gnarlier than carslbad you cant even compare the 2. That lil greg myers shit, switch backside flipped carlsbad and no one gave a fuck, if someone did perfect switch backside flip like that down wallenburg people would literally shit their pants... thrasher would have to hand out a free ''depend'' with every issue.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

kickflip melon before anybody else had done any fliptrick over it at all is pretty gnar. The reason it gets hated on is because Phelps had a field day talking shit on grabbing down it and clowned Danny Gonzales non-stop. The reason Phelps hated on it was because Danny Gonzales sued Thrasher for putting his likeness on the cover of the video game without his permission. Since he never tried to sue me, I'll give Danny his due and say that was pretty gnarly.

I think we all can agree wallenberg is gnarlier and landing something down it is a bigger deal than carlsbad. Lets not get to insane over it. Yes I see the irony in me saying this.

[ChildoftheGhetto]

Wallenburg is bigger, but people still don't care. Why do you think kids go skate carlsbad? because they think they're about to get famous. If kids ever realize this about wallenburg, i guarantee more shit will go down.

hell yeah they would. haha i loved how Greg Myers had a dc ad switch backside flipping carlsbad when Ryan Gallant did that shit in the DC video 5ish years ago.

Instead of thinking about how silly or dumb DC is, maybe try rewatching the DC video. That's Chris Lambert doing it regular as a friend in the section.

HAHAHA That's probably the reason random kids don't skate it. If it was more accessible, more shit would be done down it.

i'll agree with that statement. it would suck to go through the trouble of setting up a roll in and then after one or two tries you realize that your trick isn't happening. that's probably why most people don't even bother with it.

[invasionskates]

I want to see DONGER do 1 ollie down it.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Up It!

[invasionskates]

Up It!

[Tommes]

Up It!

[nkarasch]

If Danny Wainwright or whatever went fast enough I guess he could ollie up the 3, would probably need to be pulled by a dragster or something to get the speed. I do not understand how people can have 40"+ ollies

[ROCKxADIO420]

(Jim Greco's nollie 360 cab flip bullshit, etc.),

damn i mustve missed that one

[GnArcIsSisTic]

I hope furby shows up with his vulcan hair and lands everybody else's trick and then beams his way out.

BAHAHAHA

that's pretty good...

but i think yeah, whoever lands anything during the contest will blow up. if they're an am, possibly pro status.

and as far as the wal vs. carlsbad... wal is a high speed carcass toss while 'bad is parachute skating
one is more fun to watch
deal with it
