It's weird seeing people take sides so heavily. Both tricks were crazer, but for different reasons. Tall 360 flip vs. alley-oop kickflip. Different people have different tricks locked. Example, I got 3 flip 50s (on boxes), but can't kickflip into anything frontside to save my life (except nose, but thats different). Then there are people who have it the opposite way. Arguing about what's more comfortable/easier for two different people is pretty fucking strange.

3 flip 50s are just kinda gross, and he happened to do it pretty gross, and the flip 5-0 happened to be perfect.
I didnt really think about untill the other day but are alot of the other dudes hurt? like i remember in johns video he skates some fucked up shit, that crazy curved ave hubba,straight on rails, wheres the front blunt crail on clipper? its always just reuben and forrest hucking.

I have to put in a word on this.

I didn't care much for Forest when I started watching OIAM, but now I'm down with the kid (at this point anyway). So many people hate on him, and I really can't see a legitimate reason. Sure, he's got some personality quirks, but nothing that's really hate-worthy. Really, come on now. Something that any of you who are skaters should realize, is that this is how a lot of skaters are perceived by the mainstream masses anyway. Especially in the 90s. OIAM isn't a popularity contest, and it's clear that Forest is a VERY talented skater. I would be psyched if he won.

I admit it's possible, but for now I'm calling bullshit on the twitter account. The first tweet is less than a week old, and not even Forrest would be silly enough to call Mike Mo out like that.

I say it's someone's idea of a funny joke, but that's been done before. The profile picture is kind of amusing though, haha.

Losers. Why don't you say they both get the award for having fun or trying hard? This is a contest in the real world not fucking kindergarten, and people have opinions on that shit, and aren't going to say they are equal to spare somebody's feelings.

Also- fuck any [random flip trick] to 5050. Its lame. It takes no balance or proper catch, just flip it and land on the ledge.

Neither does a 5-0 on a down ledge and you'll find a lot of people feel the same. In fact, I think a good proportion of people would find it easier than a 50-50, me being one of them.
I don't really like the trick either, but 360 flip 50 down a hubba is def harder than a kickflip front 5-0 for the vast majority of people. No question. At least to the people that can grasp the mechanics of both.

All I said was that it's hard to say one way or another because, while they were on the same ledge, they're completely different tricks. This is a comment on the tricks in general, outside of the competition. I was just surprised people were so confidently saying one trick was obviously harder than the other, while others argued the other way, which kind of proves my point. Not quite giving them your "fun time" award, but I can't really say I think one was any more difficult than the other, both just crazy.

I guess I should keep in mind it is a contest, and everything is looked at under scrutiny. Rueban takes it in my book, as kickflip front 5's are something so foreign to me, and he did it more confidently and cleaner that Forrest did his trick. Rueban also said he is scared of skating big hubbas, so him doing something on Clipper as opposed to Forrest, whose game plan is "Go Big", makes it all the more impressive.

My book, Rueban won Clipper.

Happy?

Ronald Wilson Reagan · « **Reply #1667 on:** January 09, 2011, 01:02:31 PM »

Fair enough. I pretty much agree with that. At the same time, maybe its my personality, but I think its kind of a fun and harmless argument.

Whoever pointed out that 5-0 on the downledge thing has a point, but I still say that the alley-oop kickflip or whatever its called on is tougher, and that you do have to catch your kickflip a certain way to do a kickflip 5-0. I've only done them backside, but that's my experience with them.

No he meant that the 360 flip is flicked towards the ledge, whereas the kickflip is flicked away from the ledge.

It actually makes a lot of sense.

Yes quite traditional. It's part of our peoples noble heritage. We have lost our ways from the traditions of sacred elders and let our traditions be raped by outsiders, bringing shame and dishonour to our people.

Maybe the one thing we can agree on is to stop calling it a fucking "alley-oop kickflip".

Idk Forrest looks about the same height. That was probably the worst episode yet, quite a dud, it would've spiced things up a little if someone would've grinded the knobs off the rail, seems like a rail just about everyone coulda done something on.
