nice progressing boneless

the town where I live has quite recently decided to build a skatepark which is kinda sad for me, been wanting it for years and now when Ive quit bmx and my bike is a total mess they proceed.
theyll build about 10 different spots around town and then they were talking about some 1500sq.meter skateplaza indoors which sounds kinda nice.
boneless maby whane come here when plaza is ready? =)

[Xiphias]

nose manual shove-it.... do u do them with a little olly... or just straight spin... Hate that way

else it's a nice trick

though nice to see u still is skateboarding

Trip to Sweden !? Maybe someday!

I just saw those small movies of an impossible and a frontfoot impossible, might just try them tomorrow.

[enil]

i can ollie, shovit, heelflip.. and 50-50 is sach np on the low easy rails.. newer could anything else, and still wander how to land a kickflip. heelflip is so much easyer

[Cfilorvy]

Have no balance at all on that damn thing, ez fall faster than get on it
Did handstand on it, if that's considered as a trick

[The_BoneLESS]

Best game of S.K.A.T.E. i know of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HldvqaHRI6Y (Donovan Strain vs Eric Koston Rematch)

Improved a bit since last time i posted here, i can add to my trickbook the following: shove-its in pretty much any stance, fakie bigspin, fakie kickflips, heelflips occasionaly, oldschool kickflips, varial kickflips with way more style and consistancy.

Next goals would be:
- 360 flips
- nose grinds
- bigspins (normal stance)

[The_BoneLESS]

Couple of nice tricks found on The Berrics' website, done with way too much style!

Trickipedia:
- The Ollie
- Switch Heelflip
- Halfcab Flip

Heah what a coincidence, I just came home and found Skate2 in my mailbox. Now you know what I'll be doing tonight-->
*afk* :p

[Juish]

13 or so years now and i still skate, made a trip to sanfransisco to skateboard in 2008. i have some footage from it, probably my most recent other then some tricks with my buddy that ive never seen yet. if i get around to it ill try to upload the footage to youtube. not sure how though but im sure its straight forward.

EDIT: so i got around to doing it today... here it is

One sick trick by Chris Cole: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atpn0kgrB6A

[Hosp]

Rodnie Mullen or what his name was is best skater.

[The_BoneLESS]

Rodnie Mullen or what his name was is best skater.

Saying "X" is the best skater is kinda hard to say for me.

Rodney Mullen invented what is modern skateboarding (Ollie, kickflip, varials, etc.) so i guess he deserves to be mentioned. But Mullen, to the best of my knowledge, can't do vert (or not much) and doesn't do much gaps.

Best skateboarders in my opinion (no order):
- Rodney Mullen
- Chris Cole
- Mike Vallely
- Tony Hawk
- Dennis Busenitz
- Heath Kirchart
- Torey Pudwill
- Paul Rodriguez
- Daewon Song

so many others

[Xiphias]

Rodney Mullen is like the pioneer or first one to do street.. he has invented all the basic tricks and millions more :O but yeah he's more or less just street. I think he has a weird skating style.. maybe a bit goofy but he's sick when it comes to freestyling-. that's for sure

[Juish]

torrey pudwill for sure on my top list, chris cole is just an animal and can do every trick, marc johnson, daewon and haslam all do crazy shit, can't think right now, if i come up with more maybe i post

[Alma]

best skater in my opinion:

No order

- Sandro Dias
- Chris haslam
- Chris Cole
- Bob Burnquist
- Paul Rodriguez
- Eric Koston
- Austen Seaholm
- Lacey Baker
- Pierre Luc Gagnon

and gotta say Jason Lee cuz he have such a great style xD

[Juish]

I started making webisodes about my home towns skateboard scene, that are in conjunction with my friend's magazine... right now the videos are showing what we skate in the middle of winter in canada. As I make more I will try to remember to edit this post. I made them with a bunch of random humour included.
Edit: None of the skateboarding is me, im the filmer and editor.

The Word Zine Family Presents:

Webisode 1 - PeeeNgnaR - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4aKnUrKh5I
Webisode 2 - We Dun Gone Into Hidin' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtrA1lkC2vs

[The_BoneLESS]

Haha, these little films are so much fun!

I actually don't skate at all during winter, i guess i should find some spots here and there.

[Juish]

ya man you should! do what we are doing, just working with what we got.

[The_BoneLESS]

Ridiculous tricks presents
- 720 shuv-it
- Jimmy Carlin being ridiculously good as usual

[Polarix]

[The_BoneLESS]

Follow here: http://www.theberrics.com/batb3.php

[Alma]

720 shuv-it is not that hard if you do it fakey, but its a great trick to do during a S.K.A.T.E game i always follow a special trickorder in all my Skate games, always these:

Nollie 360-flip
Nollie Semi-flip
360 fs kickflip
hardflip
nollie front foot impossible (dont really nail the trick often)
Switch 360-flip (in-case i dont make the NFFI)

[Juish]

BATB3 is tight!! i'm watchin it religiously. best series out right now

[The_BoneLESS]

This rail looks like so much fun, just had to post link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrnUDZVmD9I

[The_BoneLESS]

So, been riding the same setup for almost 3 years (i know, ridiculous isn't it) so just bought myself a whole new board, wheels, bearings and so on. Always loved Alien Workshop's board designs so i finally got one of theirs (second one on the page, "Taylor Road Robot Mache" ).

Also managed to do a couple new tricks yesterday, got some fakie kickflips (good looking ones), fakie heelflips and halfcab heelflips.

[The_BoneLESS]

My skater of the moment: Josiah Gatlyn

Recruited at the Berrics
Part in Who We Are

He's crazy good, got the best looking heelflips i've ever seen and some crazy treflips. Absolutly love the guy.

Also you might want to watch Mike Mo Capaldi's First Hand video, made me appreciate him even more than i already did.
Part 1 (graphic forearm (wrist) injury)
Part 2
