He has a point and I would also add to this that the wallride nollie out a.k.a. wallie nollie needs to please go away.

not if people can still do them like matt field used to

[close]

Exactly, but how many people come close?
Even when this trick was getting big lback then I always felt they were lazy and were for people that couldn't do actual wallrides good.
Very very few can make this trick look cool and even then, meh.

Shitbag can't wallride nollie confirmed.

Trick is fun as hell and can be done a lot of different ways. It flows smoother than the average regular wallride and I personally prefer how it looks. It's easier though, I'll give ya that.

Any tips for that? I can wallride 90degree wall with 4wheels on but never understood those wallride nollies....And most people seems to claim that is easier than "proper" wallride. For me to key to regular wallride is to put my feet on kickflip position...

[jjh]

I like Bobby's skating even though one day my friend pointed out that he looks like a tyrannosaurus rex when he skates cause of his arms.

Puleos t rex arms = Trumps hands.
Watched this dude get made at a spot because someone did a wallie and then a backside nose grind in a line. dude said those tricks shouldn't go together. then proceeded to try switch crooks up the same ledge until reality and anger kicked in to the point of defeat.  its over johnny. info wars is hiring.

i never dug the wallride nollie out because it looks like they just bonk their front wheels off the wall but i did figure how to do em bank to wall style. i got up, all 4 wheels on the mothergrabbin wall! and push my nose into the wall while unweighing my back foot. so i do like a wallride to fakie but i nollie out of it not ride down.
i learned em nollie bs [feels like sw 180] off a wall w/ jim and dan. same concept but you just twist to ride down the bank forwards.
hope that helps, i'm sure the concept is the same bs and fs on flat walls, get 4 wheels on and just do a chinese wheelie like when you stuck your foot under your forks as a little kid and your bike went ass over teakettle.

Great piece.

Even if I don't necessarily agree with Puleo's opinion, I sure as shit want to hear it. I love listening to this dude talk about skating because he and Grosso and others, as hardheaded as they all may be, are incredibly thoughtful about every little aspect of skating. That shit is important and great to listen to.

Sick, I was hoping it'd ruffle some feathers. For the record, I had heard about him saying that he didn't dig the trick to my friend Tyler and gave him a call about it, it's not like he hit me up and asked me to publish his manifesto on why wallies are played out. I really appreciated the depth of context he got into while explaining everything. Dude has done his homework.

Anyway, i'm glad y'all were into it. The plan is to have one of these a month come out and give opinionated personalities in skateboarding some space to speak their minds. Anybody you want to hear from or topics you want to hear about?

[mattchew]

People: Phelps, Grosso, Pontus, Josh Stewart, Oyola, Carroll, Kelch

Topics: switch mongo, body varials, switch, resurgence of curb skating, pressure flips, 90's revival, importance of photography and physical media, full length videos, etc.

Some of those are either done or in the works. Glad all these years of lurking slap are finally paying off.

That was rad to read, I like nerd shit. Makes me wanna give that guy some shoes.

I'd be psyched on a history dissertation on the backside 360 ollie by someone.

[Shitbag]

Yes! This is a rad concept and as mentioned already I would love to see a 2000 word dissertation on the topic of switch mongo or swongo if you like, even better, Mitch Swongo.

[GAY]

I've been doing straight jacket bert slides on wedge ramps...can anyone tell me if this is cool right now?

he didn't call it 360, he just considered it a variation of kickflip

Frontside wallride nollie out though....

[wheelies]

Wallrides just feel bad to me, they bum me out, its a depressing trick.

You know how to pop out of a crook or a noseslide? Its pretty much the same kinda motion if you are doing the wall ride the right way

[Jim and Dan]

Watch out Puleo, my boy has a mean wallride game & can throw a fist is needed...

You know how at the peak of your ollie, your front foot is boned out? And how it makes a similar pose at the peak of your wallride? That front foot bone IS the nollie out. So you're kind of jamming up the wall and nollieing on your way up.

[Bobby Peru]

Also, great concept for a segment. And a great opener, even if Bobby's logic is a bit twisted. I can't pretend mine isn't.

of course my favorite wallie was a puleo wallie @57s

[ihatejulio]

Little off topic, is a frontside half cab wallride an NBD? Have always been curious on how that would look/work.

[wheelies]

Ya know I never really considered those wallies ^ I guess they are though. I always thought of them as just blasting off gall/bam style banks. Those are fine I love steep banks, I just got a problem with flat walls with no angle or ramps up to it, straight wall blasters are the worst. 

[fongool]

Interesting theory regarding Rick Howard initiating Wallrides 2.0 considering the trick pretty much still remained illegal to do for anyone in Southern California during that time period(mid-late 90s).

[GAY]

I wonder if he has an opinion on these?

Keep in mind that Bobby Puleo is not subject to his own logic. Please see the great Theories Towelie debate for reference.

Great article. Great demigod of a skateboarder.
