Keep in mind that Bobby Puleo is not subject to his own logic. Please see the great Theories Towelie debate for reference.
with a perfect wall ride nollie out by matt field afterwards :D
that's actually my fav part about puleo (him not being consistent with his own logic), I wish people would call him out on it more often, perhaps we'd see some more growling from him!

I had to laugh at the recent 9 club episode where they were saying Puleo is slap's god with his brown cords and white shirt.

Ryan Hickey does one of the best wallie-nollies later on in that part as well.

Also, was Puleo the first to do a switch frontside wallride(in FTC Penal Code)?

Nah, someone had to do one somewhere way before that in the late 80s(tim jackson maybe), back then people did tricks not even knowing it had a name or anything.
I skated with this dude in 1989 and he switch caveman 5050d a hubba and didn't even realize what he did.The hubba was for regular footers only and he wanted to grind it so he jumped on backwards and landed it.
Seems more likely someone did a switch/fakie fs wallride then and it wasn't documented.

His condensed history of wallrides is a bit general. Natas had the September 1984 Thrasher cover doing a wall ride of some sort and claims that Dressen learned them, independently, at the same time. Natas also has a few clips in Future Primitive (1985) wallriding from flat and another "cave man" style while Jesse Martinez does some wall walks. So '85 was when it started to trickle down to the general skate community. Natas's '88 Thrasher interview introduced the idea of "wallies" (but did not show a sequence) and the opening scene of Sick Boys is the first video I had seen it in, and remains the ideal example.

Another issue is the generous labeling of "wall ride" in the sequences. The Natas sequence is more of a bank fly out, with the "wall" or "bank" taking the form of a perfect, albeit, tightly transitioned brick quarter pipe. And pole-jams, although similar, are not wallrides and clearly not "wallies", especially if you ride all the way through it. I may even hesitate to call the Mariano sequence a pole-jam as it's more of a roll up 50-50.

Interesting read, never heard much about wallies before, gustav tonnesen has some of the best wall ride, switch wall ride variations right now.

still one of the best "friends sections" of any video released ever!

there's also some street contest footage of Hosoi from that era where he does a banging wallie in one of his runs!

wallies, wallride nollie out, polejams etc are some of the most purely fun things you can do on a skateboard.  of course the general Slap consensus is to hate on them.

I've got the gyrating hips part down, but I'll work on the pre- and post- self-congratulations...should have it all nailed by the end of the weekend.

Are they easy though? The times I tried to get the hang of them I've been missing the surface (for wallies on ledges) or just straight slammed into the wall (for wallrides). Both make me feel as insecure and badly observed as a dog taking a shit* but I will try them again sometimes.
They rule and look amazing when I see people doing them.

Bear with me; I'm going to keep my vain self promotion to one thread, but I talked to Jake Phelps for this month about whether skate life is getting choked out by skyrocketing SF rent:

It really annoys me that I can do regular wallrides but not the nollie out version. I just end up kicking the wall. There must be a knack to 'em but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

disclaimer- I haven't done one in over 10 years but..
Don't even think about the nollie part when approaching, but have your front foot in the front pocket. Get a good wall ride going then try to nose manual upward and if the stars align and the angles are right you will come off cleanly.

Thanks for trying. It's an interesting topic for sure. It doesn't seem possible for a place to be both a skate mecca and have the highest rent in the U.S. (or at least, top three. top two?).

Anyway, San Francisco always seemed like the best skate town to me. I haven't been there since 2009, but I get the impression it's no longer what it was.

Anyway, all you can do is ask interesting questions, I guess.

This is the key right here. also works for doing wallies off the corner of walls taller than you
have your front foot in the front pocket.

Wallride nollies are the kooky not quite cousin of the wallride. As bad as step hops for sure.

I see no problem with putting up another thread for a different interview - that way, people don't have to wade through all the Puleo/wallie talk to get the link. Unless your intention is to make it hard to read up on Phelps' thoughts, which I can understand also.

Gretzky is arguably the greatest athlete of all time. If we're using "best" as the metric, whatever that means, the title of best hockey player probably goes to him.

Its no longer what it was, but it will always be what it is. The scene has changed, but the spots and mentality remain. Unlike the music scene, which is essentially dead in SF, there will always be the hills and the spots, regardless of wealth, its not just a great city because of the people it attracts. The only difference now in terms of actually skating the city is I feel far less bad putting a couple of scuff marks on a house/property whose owners either are rich enough to buy SF real estate, or who managed to luck out and have their house value rise into the millions- either way, a little wall ride or grind mark on the pavement in front of their house won't ruin their life or the value of their house.

^^^^^^That is an odd good point. Houses that look like a piece of shit still sell in SF regardless. It's not like these guys live in mansions all of a sudden cause of the housing boom out here. They still are really old and overrated houses. They are just close to the city which means it's close to a lot of people's jobs.
