Sure wasn't expecting Mango to ollie that gap, especially when Reuben couldn't

[close]

I doubt either of them gave a shit, its a fucking drop ollie.
And John's wallride was pretty rad i thought, that screengrab makes it look even gnarlier, tippy toes, board sideways.  It's alot safer keeping your body tight and doing it the way everyone else was.

my thoughts exactly.

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.

forrest is like 5'6. john is like 6'0. I just noticed mango and forrest boards actually went the highest. I would've won that challenge because I'm taller than john. That was lame.

The way forest did it (not carving) it's easier to go higher., I am an authority on this because I have a giant tranny to wall ride in my back yard and I can definatly say it's easier to ? go higher by pumping to fakie or switch pumping to regular than carving.

Does anybody else think mango has actually been creeping in with some pretty sick footage in the past couple of episodes? The shit he did at 3rd was sick, and I really liked his gap to nosemanual drop to nosemanual to skitch the bus line early in the week. I know he won't win, but he isn't making too poor of a showing in terms of the clips he is gathering.

I've never skated a whole pipe that big before, but in a couple that I have ridden, coming down fakie can be really tricky... when you're rolling forward you know you can turn at the peak of your ride up the wall, but when coming in fakie it's super easy to have your board whip out from under you because your natural tendency is to pump down expecting flatbottom- which never happens, so you wind up either being too straight legged to pump up the other side fakie, or you get kind've "lost" causing you to put too much weight forward, resulting in a projectile skateboard.

It could be different on a bigger pipe like that one, but in the smaller ones I've skated, coming back in fakie was pretty terrifying until getting really really used to it.

Edited to add a personal example:

 i got your fakie thruster right 'ere!

(bonus embarrassment for the ice lounge tag still attached.)

[Gomez]

the projectile board is the main reason why i'll most likely never skate a full pipe. there's literally no place where a rogue board traveling with that much momentum and you wouldn't be fucked up. but in general it's easier to get higher pumping to fakie than trying to carve, that's just common sense.

[SK8-N-WorshipSatan]

^ yep cause when you carve not all of your momentum goes up, some goes sideways, thus with the same amount of speed you will always get higher on a pump to fakie than a carve.

It's definitely easier going fakie without getting looped out on a bigger pipe.

yeah but i dunno that last line with 3 tre flips in a row was so fugly, i guess it wasnt a proper line but it looked really gay.. the hippy jump that followed was amazing no doubt, but 3 in a row, wernt people going crazy on here when worrest did 2 tre flips in a line??

Edited to add a personal example:

The above made me think about how spoiled I am, that the only full-pipe I have ever skated, is Louisville's, and in that monster, it would be kind of absurd to be rolling fakie at any time--unless of course your Hewitt going through it switch after backside 5-0ing to fakie, in that gigantic bowl on its one side. Last time I lived in Chicago, made bi-weekly roadtrips down to Louisville for a year or so, and got to skate that thing on the regs'.

Between that long-ass vert capsule thing on one side of it (11, 12 foot), and that burly bowl on the other side of it (13 foot?), the full-pipe at Louisville is so long and high--not to mention motherfuckers are coming through it so fast--that you have problems if you are putzing around inside of it going straight back and forth.

I'm usually not one to criticize anybody's skating, but I will say that that was one of the slowest, most uneventful, and pitiful sticker-sticking-whatever-you-call-its that I have ever seen. And as some people have mentioned, can't believe they went to a park, and no sick lines came out of it--what else are parks for?

You took that line seriously? Really? You really are that stupid huh? That hippie jump was decent, but I know many people who have done that there. That was a "filming a dude messing around in the parking lot before they left the spot" moment.
Also, let's get something straight. The santa cruz park is a pure back and forth kind of park in the street section. There's like one quarterpipe in the whole thing, and its 20 feet wide and about 80 feet long. The bowls are cool, but they are just bowls. Santa Cruz park has some cool shit, but isn't the place to go to film long lines at all.

And Gomez, you plan to never skate a full pipe ever because the board could come around and possibly hit you? Straight pussy shit right there.

[everypennyfedcar]

I'm a fan of the triple 360 flip line, that was off da hooks.

the fact is full pipes are fucked and they don't look even remotely fun. why the hell would i risk getting a projectile board to the head when even if i escaped all harm in skating it, i'm sure i won't enjoy it? the fun in skating transition for me is centered around grinds/stalls/slides because that's really all i can do. if i skated a full pipe, the only thing i would be able to do in it is a bunch of reverts and pump fakies. i'm willing to fuck around on shit that i suck at skating if no harm will come from it, but for the same reason that i'm not gonna skate a giant stair set or handrail, i definitely can't imagine myself fucking with a full pipe.

yeah i never understood how anyone could hate on that line. i remember watching a part a while back where a dude did two of the same tricks in a line not too long ago and thinking how it was a perfect point to bring up in a debate on this topic, but i can't remember it.
