Ok Game of skate 7, Rules:

Same as levery other time, except there is a new hand sign of course.

Ok, there is a few different rules this time so read carefully. I incorporated the es’ dame of skate rules into this one because, I think the es’ games are well done.

1. All tricks must be done rolling.

2. Once the board leaves it wheels, it must land on all four wheels. No rail landings, manual landings, caspers, or 50-50s. No hands on board. No hands or feet on the ground, before or after trick.

3. When matching or setting, the trick must be done fairly clean. No toe-drag, the skater must be moving, with both feet solid on the board. You cannot stop and then tic tac away, you must land and roll away.

4. When you are selected to set, you have 2 days to set a trick, if you fail to set the trick you will be given a letter.

5. Players are given 4 days to match the trick, this can be made shorter when there are fewer players in the game, failing to match the trick also results in a letter.

6. No trick can be set more than once.

7. The game is run by the “Pacific Time (US & Canada)” time zone, so all tricks much be matched and set by the time stated in Pacific Time.

8. When you match or set a trick, post it up in the thread called “Game of skate 5 tricks thread” this makes the tricks easier to locate instead of sorting through millions of pages of discussion. The “Tricks thread” which can be located by clicking the “Game of Skate 5” title in my sig.

9. When you match or set a trick, after you have landed the trick you must make the sign that is shown below, in front of the camera, any tricks without the sign will not be included.

10. You must roll away in the same position as the trick that has been set.





So there you have it there are the rules. Hope everyone has fun in the game, let it begin! I will donate 10,000 points to the winner of this GOS, so there you got a prize to look forward too!

Hahah Pathtek I'm loving those pictures and captions. Can't wait to get this game started, I already have my set I think lol.

For the rules, also there should be added, when you do a trick in which you are intended to land switch (for example, a FS 180) you MUST ride away switch. This should clear up one of the major problems of the last game.

im a paraplegic, I cant do that hand signal....

Well, I understood that, but thought some of them were worthy...haha...boy was I wrong ;)

Seems we've been burnt again, remyhero hasn't even read this thread :( Oh wel, he's still got one more day I suppose...

lol first person to do it.


pm him until his computer crashes

Yeah man I PMed him after I made this thread.

So what happens if someone misses a deadline to set the trick? Like does he just get a letter, even though he's meant to be setting?

Yep..not setting a trick is an automatic letter...that has been the rules since day one

It's my turn to set now right ? Or does he still have a few hours left ?

It's my turn to set now right ? Or does he still have a few hours left ?



Not yet. He still has until 7PM to set his trick.

Where the heck is he??? My feet are aching to match a trick :)

HOLY FREAKIN CRAP

i missed ANOTHER GOS

thats 6 in a freakin row!

Shorty's_kid, I'll put you in at the end of the list, remyhero's turn is up, and it's now MRCK turn to set.

My set is up :) Hopefully I haven't picked something you'll find too hard, it's a signature trick of mine, don't think of it as impossible to do you'll be surprised when you try it, it's all in the foot placement. I've written up a short trick tip too, check out the GOS7 Tricks thread. If you need tips just ask and I'll help you, post pics of the foot placement, and explain everything you need to know.

Good luck !

^ oh my GAAAWDD! :eek:

I'm gonna have to learn this trick from scratch (like everyone else probably).

I can nollie b/s 360 fine and I learnt nollie front foot varial underflips about a month ago, its just a matter of combining them...

...well, um, i'm glad to see we didn't start off with anything easy, haha, but WOW is right!'' Ok, crossing my fingers, gonna give it a go :)

Shorty's_kid, I'll put you in at the end of the list, remyhero's turn is up, and it's now MRCK turn to set.


just my luck

as soon as i finally get in my board snaps

damn karma

...well, um, i'm glad to see we didn't start off with anything easy, haha, but WOW is right!'' Ok, crossing my fingers, gonna give it a go :)
Hahaha yeah, I was hoping to actually be able to match the first set. I guess I will try this out though, looks like a pretty tough trick.

your one crazy mother ****er

so your saying I should be ablt to nollie 360, nollie 540 shove, with an underflip heelfip?

yay...are we aloud calling out our lette rbefore the dead date? :p ill try it and read that danm instructins over and over.

Lmao, what the ACTUAL hell, you should enter the és game of skate. Id like to see Chris Cole match this.

Wait, is this just a nollie 360 heelflip with a 360 body varial, what kind of flip does the board do?

umm 540 shuvit. Not 360.

Wow, I didn;t even see that, Amazing set man.

Thanks. I thought I had been clear enough about the flip of the board, but since it seems to be a bit hard to understand (which doesn't surprise me much because kiwi flip variations aren't common tricks) I thought I'd go into further details.

Siyoun spins look just like Mullen's gazelle underflips, except that you don't underflip the board with your toes, you use your heel instead. They're nollie gazelle kiwi flips, if you don't know what a kiwi flip is then check out Roboman's website here (http://www.dxinteractive.com/skatetricks/) :) Basically, nollie kiwi flips consist in this :

http://mrck.skyblog.com/pics/185065186.jpg

As you can see, a nollie fs shuvit is performed, then the front heel hooks the board from underneath, causing it to flip over in what I like to call an 'anti underflip' (but it's just a made-up name for me to clarify things, don't take it seriously). A siyoun spin is the same thing with an extra bs 360 nollie.

But don't bother learning nollie kiwi flips, they won't help you for this trick. Aim for nollie 360 kiwi flips instead. I find nollie 360 kiwi flips to be easier than nollie kiwi flips, just adopt the right foot placement (I've posted a few instructions in the GOS7 Tricks thread), apply pressure in the corner of the nose, go for a popped nollie 360 fs shuvit and lift your front foot back up at the right moment, experiment a bit and you'll figure it out pretty quick. Once you've got them down, it's really easy to get them on lock, when you can do them consistenly move on to nollie 540 big spin kiwi flips (nollie 540 kiwi spins), then work on adding an extra body varial :)

Oh I see, sorry, I get it now. Cheers! Roboman's site helped alot, it's an awesome site too!

Thanks for the help man, that explained alot, thankyou very much!

my feet dont work when I hear the word 540 gazelle kiwi flip. for one its got the word 540 in it, the word gazelle, and the word kiwi flip....there all really hard to pull off.

kiwi's taste good though

^theres a fact

kiwis are the bomb. both the fruit and the people. i have a question - how do you prnounce siyoun? is it see-oon, or see-on, or sye-oon, or what?

kiwis are the bomb. both the fruit and the people. i have a question - how do you prnounce siyoun? is it see-oon, or see-on, or sye-oon, or what?

I thought it was ''Si - Yawn''

now to think of it, I havnt had a kiwi for awhile :(

Kiwis for everyone, Its one the house.

They numb my tounge :icon_lala

Anyone actually getting close to this trick? I was trying it and even getting just the spin down is extremely tough. Props to anyone who actually matches this.

I got close to doing some nollie bigspin kiwiflips, but no matter how hard I try, I cant keep my front foot low enough to interfere with the board to make it flip on a full 360. I think I might rebuild my old setup, the board is really small so it spins and flips easy as anything.

But I have learnt 3 new tricks already in the process of trying to get a siyoun-spin though. :D

kiwis are the bomb. both the fruit and the people. i have a question - how do you prnounce siyoun? is it see-oon, or see-on, or sye-oon, or what?

It's 'see-oon' ;)

And now that you mention it, I think that I've done more kiwi flips than I've ever eaten kiwis in my whole life. The fruit does taste frigging good indeed :tongue:

Roboman : if you're close to nollie kiwi spins, I think it could be a good idea for you to try them switch. I mean, if you manage to get switch kiwi spins on lock, then you'll only have to do the same thing nollie with an extra bs 180 to get a siyoun spin. Just a thought :icon_drib

Does it have to be ''popped''? I can almost get it in a postion to land, if I kinda just whip the board over in order to use my heel, rather then just pop it over

Well I guess it's just another way to do the same trick, so why not :) Good luck man.

Well I guess it's just another way to do the same trick, so why not :) Good luck man.
Excellent...well if I ever DO land it succesfully....It is not exactly easy to keep it underneath from the nollie position...

I think whoever matches this trick should get +rep

Shouldn't the match by date be Thursday 5am, not friday? Because 4 days from the 22nd, which was the day the trick was posted, is the 26th, which is thursday.

ill give em rep and a gift yo

Thats what I was thinking too.

I still havent got close to doing these. I just discovered I can only do 360 kiwiflips in regular stance, because thats my underflipping foot. And I only land them very rarely. Ah well, I learnt a grand total of 5 new tricks while trying to get siyoun spins :D

Deadline already? Man, i almost had these. I got the flip and the 360 body varial.. I just can't get close to landing it.

Deadline already? Man, i almost had these. I got the flip and the 360 body varial.. I just can't get close to landing it.

My problem exactly....Just trying to keep it underneath me enough to even have a chance is impossible

so is the deadline thursday for friday? lol, im gonna have to go find a computer at school to upload a trick I still have to do he he he. im thinking something with either a pivot or a revert at the end of it.

Deadline already? Man, i almost had these. I got the flip and the 360 body varial.. I just can't get close to landing it.

My problem exactly....Just trying to keep it underneath me enough to even have a chance is impossible

If this can help, I think of the front bolts as being the center of the rotation before I pop and immediately go for the body varial. Maybe try to learn them with a body varial 180 first, then once you've landed it a few times go for the 360. You can also post footage of your attempts so I can tell you what you're doing wrong :)

Deadline is what it says in my sig, it might not be the same time your going by, it is running by a different, time zone, but it's definately 4 days.

MRCK, do you pop and flip it in one motion, or do you do it as two separate steps? I've been trying these and can't get the flip to work right...

MRCK, do you pop and flip it in one motion, or do you do it as two separate steps? I've been trying these and can't get the flip to work right...

Well theoretically, a kiwi flip is done in two seperate steps - first the pop, then the 'late' anti underflip thing. But practically, there's a certain foot placement which allows you to pop and do the flip right away, basically for, let's say, a nollie 360 kiwi flip, you have to set your front foot so it is almost parallel to the deck, so your toes are somewhere close to the heel-side of the nose (so you can apply a little bit of pressure on the corner of the nose when you pop, kind of like you would in order to do a pressure flip) and your whole heel is hanging off the side. The inner part of your heel has to be as close to the rail as possible, and try to keep it low so when you pop the nose and the board goes frontside, the rail will hit the back of your heel and start flipping as you lift your foot back up. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. The problem I was having is that my front foot would start the board flipping to the heelside because of the foot position, and I wasn't able to get my heel under.

Time up, everyone gets a letter, awesome set man, Etnieskater your turn to set.

I think thats the first time someone has a set a trick NOONE could match, amazin set like.

ok ill go try uploading my trick at school on there computer. hopefully this time that guy is not a **** and will let me. and its a farely easy trick compared to MRCKs trick.

^A nollie full cab flip is easy compared to that :P

^A nollie full cab flip is easy compared to that :P
ok then my trick is really easy compared to a nollie full cab flip. I was going to tyr and and get bigspin pivots or a fakie bigspin pivot. but i ran out of time haha i wanst ready so ill save those for next time if I make it there.

im going to post up my trick. Varial Kickflip Revert.

Cool trick man :) I don't think I've ever tried them, I can't wait until my next sesh so I can give them a try.

all the tricks i were trying ive never done. im trying to be harder than my tricks because people in begginer game of skate are doing fs flips, hardflips, and tre flips and all week i was trying to do some underlfip or doubleflip combination to atleast be somewhere near long jettty, you, and pathteks ability lol.

Nice trick, i've attempted a few of thses in a GOS in real life, but never hand any luck, although I haven't sepcifically tried more than a few times to land it. I'll give it a go.

We aint doing hardflips, fs flips, or tres.... I did set a fakie bigflip, but that was by luck... I think we need to change the name to Intermediate Game Of Skate 1 Dx

Thats a sweet set,ill try to give it a go tomorrow.

I thought I remember feedmegrease donig a tre flip in a begginer game of skate i was reading. if not then im sorry. I just know that they made a begginer begginer game of skate haha.

I wanted to set a hardflip or tre flip but i know that everyone here can do it and i want to do something that no one can do.

ok then my trick is really easy compared to a nollie full cab flip. I was going to tyr and and get bigspin pivots or a fakie bigspin pivot. but i ran out of time haha i wanst ready so ill save those for next time if I make it there.

im going to post up my trick. Varial Kickflip Revert.

Man! Thats freaky.
I looked through the old games of skate to get an idea how everyone does their tricks, and as soon as you said "I'm going to do something with a pivot or a revert" I instantly thought it would either be a switch shove it rewind or a varial kickflip revert.

So I was already trying those yesterday :D Great trick.

do you already have it on film before i set it? lol

first revert trick I learned was bs shove revert with a pivot. I wanna learn shove and varial reverts where I catch it in the air, that would be crazy. like corey sheppard.

Man andrew reynolds did a pop shuv revert down a 3 flat 3, its was amazing, haha.

Man andrew reynolds did a pop shuv revert down a 3 flat 3, its was amazing, haha.
what?? thats nuts. the only reverts I remember seeing in a video was corey sheppards tre flip revert, switch varial revert, and switch shove revert in blinds what if? over this little drain gap.

oh and also daewon but that was in his insane manny combos.

Stevie Williams does A pop shuvit revert in the air in the DC video if I do recall.

yeah, switch too. It's not a revert though, it's just a late 180, since it's in the air.

The best catch-the-board-and-rewind-it trick I've seen was Chet Thomas' ender in Opinion. A hardflip late backside 180 down a 7 or 8 stair. Madness.

if you do a hardflip and hten actually spin a late 180 you mean? or are you talking about a hardflip rewind.

kareem campbell had some nuts ghetto birds yo. hardflip late 180

I mean he does a hardflip, catches it and then him and the board do a late backside 180. So I spose you could call it a hardflip rewind, because the board spins frontside 180 (with the kickflip), then spins backside 180 (with his feet on it) during the trick.

Ghetto birds are nollie arent they? They look crazy too.

im not sure, your the expert at trick names. do you have that one on your site?

Not yet, its hard to animate. Hardflips are hard to animate anyway, but being nollie aswell... I just haven't bothered yet.

so you got the varial revert yet?

My match is up. Sorry about placing my hand on the wall after I landed it, I can do another one if I need to. I crashed into / half rode over a pair of gumboots just out of screen - they just happened to be the pair of gumboots I got out to do the lawnmowing and forgot about when I decided to film this trick. Damn karma...

i would let that slide ;) because DANM you brang that **** a little over 180 degrees it looked like and had a pause in there with a tiny little manny and then brang it back. looked very nice and i love it, i feel like a noob.

My match is up. Funnily enough, it took me quite some time to learn this trick today, I found out that I'm too much used to immediately go for a nollie shuvit everytime I land in a nose pivot position, it's an old habit of mine, so I've done LOTS of varial kickflip to nollie shuvits by accident before managing to successfully pull off the requested trick :D Anyway that was a pretty fun trick.

This trick really isnt that hard to tell you the truth. I was never able to do regular shove rewinds, but today it POURED rain so I was skating on my carpet and I learned regular shove rewinds. Now I just went outside to a dry part and I learned them moving. Then I did a few varials to get back in the flow of varial flips. I put them together and learned varialflip rewinds, wallah! I am going to go film my match now.

no man, i cant even kickflip fo sho

no man, i cant even kickflip fo sho
Dangggggg homie, that's pretty disappointin right thurrr

Had to take the sound out cuz of the wind...The gusts here are incredible this weekend, and made for some interesting moments when the board just blew out from under me, leaving me with nothing but air, lol!

My match is up

good match, lol I can see the leaves blowing and your shirt and such.

4 more people to set?

My match is already up, but it really sucks.

Individuality, you stole my shoes!

Wow, tim'es up already, I forgot to eve try this trick. Arrgghh, I've been so busy lately and doing this stupid work placement thing.

Yay! My set! I am not sure what to do. I will play around with tricks tommarrow, but I think it's going to be something easy.

easier than a nollie gazelle kiwi flip and a nollie full cab heelfip? or harder than the varial revert? :D

Happy Halloween ...hollllla

Easier than all of that, it's just a hardflip, I am going to post it up right after this post. If you want me to redo it, not a problem I will refilm when I get home from school tommarrow.

DANMIT! lol hardflips, ..um oh yeah its too sketchy, I think you should pick a whole new trick :D hehe

Feet didn't touch. But you did have to tic tac to roll away.

Feet didn't touch. But you did have to tic tac to roll away.
looked like he was on a rock or something because he had to use force to get away haha. but yea, you should discard it forevor!! lol

I cant veiw it on putfile, seems like it doesnt count though.

Man I hate hardflips :D I can do them but in such an awkward way that they're unconsistent as hell and it's not even funny. I hate how they feel, I could spend some time to get a decent one on film, but I don't know if I even want to {rf) I'll see what I can do.

My driveway, if you ever see it is full of rocks so I guess yeah I got caught up on one. But should I refilm it today? If I do refilm it it will be in pretty bad quality because I left my good camera at my friend's house.

EDIT 2: I posted up the youtube link for you to judge, LJ.

Alright, I am not sure if I was allowed the redo, but I posted it up anyways. That one should count, I rode away, no toe drag, etc. Enjoy everyone!

^As long you still have time I think you can refilm. *I hope so, cuz I just matched it haha*

My Hardflip match is up :)

I got one of these on film, but my landing was stopped. Not because it was crooked, but because I have 2 busted bearings. They dont really like rolling at the moment. I'll try and get another one, maybe later because its raining today.

EDIT: Ooh! I just remembered we have a garage!
EDIT2: Oh. I just remembered the garage floor is crap. It looks like the surface of the moon.

Thats the best damn description EVER!

im workin on it, ive got back foot in the inside corner with the front foot in the middle heelside edge of teh board. do I want to pop it then flip it so it goes between my legs? or do I want it to spin like a varial heel but with a kickflip?

I do the motion similar to a varial heel, but just flip it out. The flipping between the legs seems too complicated for me.

I prefer to have my back foot in the middle of the tail, and set up the front foot like a regular kickflip...Then go thru the motion with your feet like your doing a frontside flip, but kick your back foot straight out and the board will rotate nicely

My match is done. I'll post it up next. I landed 8 or 9 solidly but the all stopped on landing, finally got one that landed rolling and thats why I was so stoked. :D

and danm you got steezy hardflips, the reply was totally awesome I want your hardflips. and your shoes are hesh...

thanks for tips pathtek, ill try it out tommorow

Wow man, you're hardflip was soo damn nice! It was like perfect lol.

And to add to what pathtek said, it helps sometimes, well at least for me, if you catch it with your back foot at like 90º and bring it the rest of the way around with your backfoot.

Its funny because I dont like hardflips at all. I hardly ever do them, they are the hardest trick to get on lock, and they take ages to land one every time. Thats probably the best hardflip I've got on film to date. Even with the fingers crossed and the "SZZZZ!! SZZZZ!!!"

sorry i havent updated anything im real busy ill do it in a sec

I have to agree with Uncleleo,

That hardflip Roboman busted was clean as hell. I watched that video like 5 times here at work. Cant wait to get a camera so I can partake in these games.

Alright, I've tried to get a hardflip on film today, I hadn't done hardflips in months... And I found out that I've completely lost them since :) I don't think I want to relearn them because it's a very frustrating trick, so just give me an S.

ill match this tomorrow, mine are sketchy as a back alley in brooklyn though

Im starting to get the the main flip part good and cand land on it backwards. just gotta get the half flip in there.

Really? Your like one ahead of everyone.

Im starting to get the the main flip part good and cand land on it backwards. just gotta get the half flip in there.

Heres some tips if you like - Put your back foot in the 360flip position, so it covers a lot of the tail. May sound wierd but it stabilises the f/s pop shove it and makes it easier to flick. Put your front foot solid in the middle of the board. Then pop and push out HARD with the back foot, it can be difficult to get the f/s shove it fast enough to land rolling (my biggest problem). Keep your front foot ankle loose almost like for a doubleflip (like flick with your toes rather than your whole front foot), and flick almost directly sideways from the board.

The rest is trial and error. Mine sometimes come out vertical as the one I matched with, or as flat as uncleleo's set. It's the slightest difference of timing that does it, but in the end its the same trick.

Really? Your like one ahead of everyone.



Heres some tips if you like - Put your back foot in the 360flip position, so it covers a lot of the tail. May sound wierd but it stabilises the f/s pop shove it and makes it easier to flick. Put your front foot solid in the middle of the board. Then pop and push out HARD with the back foot, it can be difficult to get the f/s shove it fast enough to land rolling (my biggest problem).

really? alot of people tell me to put it in the inside corner of the tail instead of the outside. ill try both :D

I find the flip is all wrong on the inside corner...Use the middle to outside corner of the tail...Robomans tip was extremely helpful, cuz I couldnt have said it any better myself

luckily I have aporch with a cover :D I was trying both again, today I was getting so close with the inside corner way but I was flipping it with tons of energy and I think most people I know most people I skate with do it and sort of pivot it the rest of the way like the transworld trick tip.

Robomans tip scared me lol, It was coming pretty clsoe to my crouch and I was scared to jump high enough to land it because if I landed with it between my legs I would have to compress the landing and I would rack myself haha. ive still got almost 2 days though

Goin to vegas. Be back Sunday so just gimme the letter for the hardflip.

man, putting your foot on either side of the tail makes the spin alot different, im almost landing both ways.

Try a couple frontside flips, then just do the same thing with your feet, but don't turn your body, only your shoulders...maybe you just need to square up your nose of the board more (meaning, put you chest facing forward more)

man! i aint gettin this hardflip BOLLOCKS i cant roll away, i can land it but ui jst stick, ah well LETTER HERE

so weve got until saturday at 11pm? i might have it by then, its weird. half n hour ill me spinning it awesome and then ill be doing it hte same way but only doing kickflips and its frustrating haha.

Damn, I relearned hardflips this afternoon (thanks to Pathtek4's tips) and got one on film, I thought it'd be clean enough to count, but now that I've checked out the footage I realize that it's probably too sketchy (the spin is highly underrotated then I ticktack away). So I'm getting a letter I guess. No big deal though, what matters is that I kind of got my hardflips back thanks to this game of SKATE :) I can't wait to see what the next trick is going to be.

I'll post it here then : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZDQbnSB9uo and if I'm told that it counts (which I highly doubt) then I'll post a better clip (with slow mo etc.) in the GOS7 Tricks thread. I wouldn't want to burden the tricks thread with a trick which I'm not sure about the validity of.

Hmmm, that's a hard decisions MRCK, i'm not sure, it doesn't look like you would of rolled away if you hadn't tic tacced, so I don't think so, but what does everyone else think? Btw, there'es still 4 more hours left.

My driveway, if you ever see it is full of rocks so I guess yeah I got caught up on one. But should I refilm it today? If I do refilm it it will be in pretty bad quality because I left my good camera at my friend's house.

EDIT 2: I posted up the youtube link for you to judge, LJ.

Alright, I am not sure if I was allowed the redo, but I posted it up anyways. That one should count, I rode away, no toe drag, etc. Enjoy everyone!

Sorry I took so long, i've been extra busy lately and not had much time do do anything. Ok, your first hardflip looked fine, I would of let it count, but your second hardflip was way clean! Nice job.

Everyone else's hardflips are fine, nice job everyone!!! Haha, what's with you ZZZZing at the end Robo? Lol!

I dont know. When you land a trick your proud of, you go "SZZZZ!!" instead of going "Come on!!" or "Yeaaahh!" or whatever. I think its just a local thing, but I went overboard and did four or five because it took a while to get that hardflip. :D

I hate to be like the bad cop here but MRCK's shouldnt count. It was flipped fine, but the fs shove part was only flipped half way and there was no way you would have rolled away if you didn't tic tac, sorry dude!

That has got to be a local thing because I have never seen or heard of anybody doing that szzz sound lol.

I landed a few and fell forwards and thats the closest ive ever had..and people say ive got such a nice spin to it, but no land :( and I cant go on because at the park today some buds took the camera and filmed 40 minutes of crap and no battereis, and firewire connection at my moms.

give me a letter :( and now there going to be pissed because they;ll have to wait another week or more for me to get there footage haha. too bad for them though, they made me get a letter for online game of skate

And....time...is....up! I actually thought that more of you guys would match that trick, you let me down! Haha just kidding, but I can't wait to see arto's set, definatly going to be something sick.

No problem man, I wouldn't have counted it myself. I've always hated hardflips with a passion and I hadn't done them for a long time, I'm still pretty glad I (kind of) got them back thanks to this game, the letter itself doesn't matter.

guys sorry i've gotta leave this. F**king skateamerica lied said they didnt have the board i ordered so they had to re-order it from the company and crap and i wont get the board for about a 2 weeks.

can i reserve a spot for the next one though?

Haha yeah I suppose since you've been trying from day 1 to get into this, I can reserve a spot for the next one.

Man, everyone just keeps dropping out of this game lol! But I feel bad for you, hope you get better soon!

...and then there were seven.

Well, Arto's deadline is up by 6 hours, so we move onto Pathtek. Unless Artom you get your set up within the next few hours.

^alright! I'll wait till' arto posts before I post up anything for a set (its raining here today anyway)...But if it clears up by afternoon, then I'll go set my trick...otherwise look for it tomorrow

danM@! well theres a silver linin in this story here. atleast he broke his ankle in the ****** weather. get better soon jetty and arto set yo trick!

My set is ready :)! Let me know when you want me to post it up (Is Arto not setting?)...It's uploaded and ready to go!

AHH **** sake lmao I COMPLETELY forgot. ****kkkk, ahh well, pathtek4 youv alreayd filmed yours so you may aswell upload it

^OK...I wasnt there this time to remind you, sorry bro!

My set:
1/2 Pressure 1/2 Late-flip Body Varial...

Best thing I could suggest is put your feet on opposite ends of the board, flip the board straight up and start your turn before you kick down with your front foot.

Oooooh, thats getting tech again. This ones gonna be hard because my regular back foot is my lateflip foot, so I could do this switch way easier...

I'll get them on trampoline board then try to take it to a skateboard. :tongue:

Haha awesome set Pathtek. Wow.

ok so its like a

Backside Pop Shovit pressured with a late what? is it a late kickflip, heelflip, or a late backfoot flip? im retarded

and niec cafe deck :o

Is simplist terms (if there is any, lol): It's a inverted pop shoveit (the start of a pressure flip) then as it makes its way around, you body varial and kick down with your front foot (lateflip) to turn the board over as you make your body 180...I kick it with my toes to middle of my foot, so it wouldnt be a lateheel or anything...

If you just stand there stationary, on the board, and place your back foot on the far corner and your front foot in the ''cradle'' (the groove right above the top bolts) and kinda position that front foot in the close corner of it...You can pop the board straight up by olleing, moving your front foot out the way, and almost slide that back foot on the tail in a forward position, the board will flip direct straight up and over...I really hope that helps (probably not though, sorry)..

Damn, very nice set Pathtek! This is gonna be a tough one, I am going to the city tommarrow to go skate and I will try this if I have some down time, but I am bad with late tricks so I think I am going to recieve a letter on this one.

Haha, I knew you would set a 1/2 pressure flip late 1/2 flip variation, you love that trick don't you :D I can do them regular without the body varial, and switch with the body varial, but I've never tried them regular with a body varial. It shouldn't take too long to learn though :)

OOh! I almost landed a couple of inverted shove it lateflips. My problem is that when I try to lateflip the board my front foot just dives, like it flips it and never quite gets above the board again. One time it did, I cant seem to replicate it though. I dont think my left foot is maneuvreable enough yet...

HAHA...I came out the gates swinging lol! I have a crazy bag of 1/2 and 1/2 combinations, so I figured whatever one I land first, i'll set...well there she is

If your that close man, its most likely a repositioning of your front foot...possibly move it up more

My match is up, I thought it would take me longer to learn this trick because I'm usually more confident on switch body varials than I am on regular ones, but I did manage to get the grasp of it after a few tries :) Cool trick, I should have tried it earlier.

I hate water, wish it would stop fallin from the sky god danm...this one seems easy to me even though it really wastn but ive got the concept. and I left my board out all night and it was waterlogged and soggy and ive got money going to my paypal soon..so I will be set.

good trick...ill try..when its dry.

BRAVO MRCK!! I like how you lateflipped it, then ''bam'' busted the body varial! Hot damn that was nice :)

Erm, I sort of broke my board today trying to get bigspin front boards. I expected it would soon. I'll try to find an old deck I can bang on and try to land this horrific trick that Pathtek set :D

wonder if you could do this on a flat peice of board that sticks a bit out from the trucks on either side...

I could try... but nah, I was having big trouble with this trick anway.

Well its 9pm and dark, so I'm not getting this trick. I am extremely stoked because I landed one single solitary switch one, and I could flip the regular ones right but my front foot would always land on the ground at the same time as the board.

My set very soon. YAY! ... unless arto's gonna have his turn. I dont know what's happening there.

yah, im not gonna get this one lol

Alright, so Roboman is up next eh? Oh boy after seeing that mesmerizing hardflip I can't wait to see his set.

Its been raining over here so i didn't really get a good chance to try this. Closest i got was landing upside down..

bring on the trick robo cop

I have it done, I loaded it onto youtube and its taking its sweet ass time on finalising itself. I actually filmed it the day before my board broke, because I thought my board might break so I'd better get it done. Lucky :D

Still waiting on youtube... its been 1/2 hour now.

EDIT: Ah well, I'll post the link anyway.

Putfile that shizzit yo, takes like two seconds and it owns youtube quality :D.

Oh boy, switch double flip. This is going to be a fun one but I think I can do it, as long as the rain dies down here.

Putfile never works. It never uploads for me, I cant watch putfile videos either. What it does is it loads to 100%, then when I click play to watch it, it has to load again. And I never get to see the video. :icon_snif

As far as the trick goes, I could do a "hard to do" trick or a "hard to learn" trick.
The varialflip revert and the hardflip were "hard to do" tricks, and the siyounspin and pathteks were "hard to learn" tricks. I went with a "hard to do" as they are generally more fun, but also because I just love switch doubles.

you sick sick man.....my friend has been bugging me because hes got these and I dont.

OK guys, sig updated.

Haha there's no way I can match this :) I've been out of luck so far in this game, first hardflips then switch doubles, both are the main tricks that I can't do properly and I kick myself in the ass for it while a lot of other skaters seem to have them on lock :D Ah well, I'll give still them a few tries, just in case - who knows.

BAHAHA! I'm runnin' around in circle like a madman because my switch kickflips arnt the best, and to even have a prayer at this, I almost going to have to kick my leg off! Nice set Roboman!

uhh Long Jetty.. you spelled "SKA" wrong on Etnieskaters.

im getting close to these, and i found my camera, expect it up tomorrow.

ive had switch flips good now, but double flips are messed..especially switch, I just cant flick the board hard enough..im coming closer though.

ive had switch flips good now, but double flips are messed..especially switch, I just cant flick the board hard enough..im coming closer though.

Um, with mine I find that the pop and the shoulder positions affects it far more than the flick. If your having trouble with the full double, turn your shoulders forward so your looking straight off the nose. Should help a bit.

AHHH!!! another letter.. i can't switch kickflip. Any tips? i can switch heel but not switch flip.

For switchflips turn your shoulders forward, like your looking way off the nose, put front foot at a 45 degree angle with your toe touching the closest front deck bolt. Pop as per usual and with a loose front ankle, flick off the side of the board and forward.

...

I think it time up for this one, its passed Saturday 3am everywhere in the world now. Although, I think if arto can match this one in the next couple of days he can still be in the game. Maybe.

Whaddaya think?

^OH CRAP! I thought it was 3pm...haha, oh well, letter for me (I was going to give it a go today)

Go Indivduality.

Set is up.

My match is up :) It's a bit sketchy because it had rained during the night and the only indoor place I could find to skate was that narrow entrance hall with those metal poles everywhere... I think my trick is clean enough to count this time though.

Dang, switch front bigspin. I have been trying this trick forever but I just cant get that full 360 spin of the board. Any tips?

Dang, switch front bigspin. I have been trying this trick forever but I just cant get that full 360 spin of the board. Any tips?

For switch frontside big spins I set my feet like this :

http://mrck.skyblog.com/pics/634500586.jpg

I lean back a little bit and rest most of my weight on my back leg, then I just pop the tail really hard while throwing my shoulders around in a frontside 180. I don't think I even use my front foot, it's all in the pop, smack down that tail and throw your body around.

As you can see my foot positioning is a little weird, the heel of my back foot rests on the tail while my toes hang off the deck, while you're supposed to have your heel hang off the deck and your toes in the corner of the tail for switch fs pop shove-its. I think it helps a lot and allows more control on the spin to adopt this new foot positioning for switch fs big spins, never think of the trick as a switch fs pop shove-it mixed with a switch frontside 180 or you'll end up doing switch fs pop shove-it to pivots instead of doing the whole thing in the air. Use the whole arch of your foot to smack the tail down and pop really hard, throw your shoulders around and experiment with different rotation axises until you find the right one (basically, keep the weight of your body centered over the board (don't lean forwards to much) and it should work).

Good luck :)

Wouldn't doing a switch front shove and catching that pivot count as a switch front bigspin? We count the pivots around here I don't know if you all consider that a different trick or not count it at all. I could probably pull that off.

sketchy set, and mrck you tick tacked lol but i wound count em, I just gotta learn em.

I would have rolled away without any tick tack if that metal pole hadn't been in the way. Take a closer look at the clip and you'll see that I start to roll away, but I have to avoid the pole ;) I could film another match without any problem if that one doesn't count though.

I see man, I would of counted it anyways...lol I still have to try this :D

OH NO!!! I have switch f/s pop shoves and swicth f/s 180's on lock, but combining them is really hard. Also a got a new board, and like all new boards it feels huge and doesn't spin as fast as they do after about a fortnight, so I might get this one... probably not.

Hey, what can I say but ''I came close'' lmao! This hurt like a son of a gun...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dWTyRsJ7dIU

Luckily, I have another day tomorrow to maybe crack my skull

Haha, Pathtek that was funny, I hate shooting out like that. I was kickflipping this decently steep bank this weekend and I just landed on the nose and SHOT right out. It was terrible. Oh and BTW, are those black and grey accels you are skating because if they are I have the same EXACT shoes that I'm skating now.

so are we aloud a pivot in it? lol because I almost got switch pop shove pivots...which really is the bigspin with the pivot...or do we have to spin it full?

Hey, what can I say but ''I came close'' lmao! This hurt like a son of a gun...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dWTyRsJ7dIU

Luckily, I have another day tomorrow to maybe crack my skull

From what I can see you're very close indeed, I used to shoot out the way you did a lot when I was learning this trick (and I hate when it still happens), and it helped me a lot to :

- rest more of the weight of my body over my back leg and have my rotation axis more towards the tail, like right above the back truck bolts and NOT over the center of the board ;

- throw my shoulders around, followed by the whole body, in a perfect fs 180 whatever the board may do. Focus on the full body varial instead of the shove-it.

Etnieskater : I'm not the one to decide but seeing how Individuality pivoted the 180 almost all the way around for his set, I think a switch fs shove-it to pivot would count. It would be better to know what Long Jetty thinks though.

hes a ghost..lol

my board, the toeside of it...the whole edge broke right down from the top to bottom but is only broken for a quarter of the board in the middle lol..its on the edge boys.

Just do a switch pop shuvit and a pivot. The switch frontside bigspin i set was the first one i ever landed.. If you got switch pops down then catch it on the nose and pivot it.

Haha, can't wait to see what MRCK is gunna set this time!

Dang it, if MRCK sets something like his first set again I'm going to be out. I have a suggestion for a trick! How about like an ollie or something haha.

it had been a good game for me I guess loll, not really..but I wish I had tried on the tricks more. I only tried as hard as I could for teh hardflip and the otherse I had no effort in.

maybe next time ;)

My set is up. I had filmed a lot of different tricks but didn't know which one to submit actually, if a front foot impossible late shove-it is too hard for too many of you, I can always change my set and replace it with one of the following tricks if you think one of them would come easier :

- 360 hospital flip
- nollie pop shove-it late fs shove-it
- nollie 540 kiwi flip
- 1/2 heelflip late bf 1/2 flip bs body varial
- nollie 1/2 impossible late bf 1/2 flip bs body varial (Pathtek's trick done nollie)
- bs 180 nollie back foot impossible
- switch front foot impossible
- switch impossible revert
- heelflip late bs shove-it
- fakie pressure hardflip to pivot
- nollie fs shuvit late varial heelflip
- pressure flip late fs shove-it
- pressure flip late flip
- nollie fs big spin late heelflip

I'll be back online in a few hours to see who wants what.

no i'll try the one you set. I think i can do it..

HOLY CRAP!!!! That list of tricks is phenomenal! I doubt I could get close to any of those. Good game everyone, looks like I am out!

Any tips? I can do the front foot impossible half way. But i can't get the proper feel of it.

You Got Mad Twitches Son!!! Danm You Are Nuts, Lol I Couldnt Even See It Spin Without The Slowmo Version.

Any tips? I can do the front foot impossible half way. But i can't get the proper feel of it.

If you can do 1/2 front foot impossibles (which I like to call 'hospital heelflips') then you're on the right track :) Here's what I would recommend :

- if you can do or at least spin fakie fs 360 shuvits, practice fakie ollie back foot impossibles, they're done by popping a fakie fs 360 shuvit a bit more than you usually do then immediately point the toes on your back foot down and keep them in contact with the grip tape and draw a little circle in the air in order to get the wrap. Fakie ollie back foot impossibles are easier and take less effort than regular ollie front foot impossibles, practice them until you have them on lock (shouldn't take long if you have good fakie fs 360 shuvs) then your underrotation problem on regular ollie front foot impossibles should have disappeared ;

- if you're not confident enough with fakie stuff, then keep on practicing regular front foot impossibles but draw a wider circle in the air with your front foot during the trick - basically, broaden the wrap and think that you have to slide your front foot to the nose then push the board around in a full frontside 360 with your toes. The way you shove the board around with your back foot is important as well, don't hesitate and try to kick your back foot away in front of you as far as you can, experiment and see if that works. If you can do hospital heelflips then you shouldn't have too much of a hard time getting a 360° spin ;

- then in order to get the late shove-it, just put more strength into the wrap and kick your front foot away in front of you at the right moment, which is when your front foot toes are pushing the grip tape side of the board back up after the impossible.

HOLY CRAP!!!! That list of tricks is phenomenal! I doubt I could get close to any of those. Good game everyone, looks like I am out!

Well some of them are actually pretty easy, even though the names sound impressive in a scary way. I'm pretty sure that everyone in this game could learn nollie shove-it late fs shove-its, 360 hospital flips, nollie fs shove-it late varial heelflips or heelflip late shuvits in a day or two without any major problem : nollie shuv late shuvs only require good nollie shuvs, nollie fs shove-it late varial heels require nothing but nollie fs 360 shuvs (even if you don't have them on lock), 360 hospital flips require nothing but kickflips (I bet a lot of you would match it), and heelflip late shove-its are harder but basically don't require more than high and caught heelflips. I really wanted to set a front foot impossible late shove-it but since they take quite a lot of practice and a lot of players have only one letter left (which I hadn't noticed) I'd be glad to change my set if the current one is too weird and hard. Just tell me before the time for my set runs out or I'll be forced to keep the current trick.

Man that trick was gnarly, I wanna try it today. It's pretty much just a front foot impossible that you let spin a bit before you catch it right?

Yeah, it's not much harder than a regular front foot impossible, just put more strength into the wrap and suck your legs up in order to let the board spin an extra late shove-it below your feet.

Uh. wow. That was crazy man, nice set!

this guy is better then pathtek? damn they should go head on eachother
awesome set

Argh! I sort of forgot about this game.

Man MRCK, your trick is awesome. If this trick were switch or nollie I might have a chance, but not regular stance. My front foot doesnt bend that way. :D

Try fakie ollie back foot impossibles maybe ? That's how I learned nollie back foot / switch front foot impossibles, I used to only be able to do them regular and fakie and couldn't even spin them right switch / nollie. Then I thought I'd play around with nollie fs 360 shuvits while pointing my back foot down and trying to keep my toes against the griptape and learned nollie back foot impossibles in no time, maybe it would help you to give this a try in fakie stance. Then move on to regular front foot impossibles just like I moved to switch front foot impossibles after learning nollie back foot ones :)

I blame myself for having set this trick by the way. I should have set something easier like a 360 hospital flip or something while the others were still in the game, and kept such a trick for the finals. I kind of rushed my pick for this turn, sorry.

Don't appologies man, that was a brillant set and executed FLAWLESSLY! It's our fault we don't got the quick footwork you do...we just need more practise :p! I haven't even had a chance to attempt this, while I can do the FF impossibles very sketchy, adding a shove-it adds the a degree of technicalness that is really hard..props to you man, love the set as well as the skater :)

Ha, its a comptetition. Show no remorse! It doesn't matter if the trick is really hard.
How long have you been skating for to get all those tricks? If anything this trick will hopefully get my front foot as agile as my back foot.

I just thought, It'd be great to see you versus deadbluesky in a future GOS. I dont know if he ever plays them, but the tricks that would come out of that would be maaaad!

Deadbluesky in a real game of skate, he also absolutely destroyed in the sk8uk game of skate a while back.

Hope you all enjoyed that useless trivia, awesome set mr CK, I too would love to see that game

Thanks :) Yeah I see where you're coming from, but still, I could have set something that would have called for more common prerequisites (not every one can do consistent front foot impossibles, and they're one of my specialities, I do them all the time) so more people would have tried to learn the trick - I should have set something that requires less specific skills (like a 360 hospital flip which only requires to have kickflips on lock, or a nollie shuvit late varial heel which only calls for a good consistency on nollie 360 fs shuvs). I think that most of the fun in online games of SKATE doesn't come from who wins but mostly from being given new trick ideas to experiment with and the pressure of the competition builds up enough emulation to learn them even faster. Therefore I wish I had set something more accessible and kept this trick for the finals, oh well. I'll be more careful about what I set next time.


How long have you been skating for to get all those tricks?

I've been skating for 6 years - basically about 1 year of freestyle when I first started, then 3 years and a half of street skating, then a year and a half of skatepark / banks / flatground tricks. I had to switch to something less risky than street skating because I was sick of always rolling my ankles down stairsets, plus it was more appealing to me and last but not least, the police has been harassing the local skaters so much over the past few months that everyone only skates at the park now and I wouldn't want to be alone all the time.

I just thought, It'd be great to see you versus deadbluesky in a future GOS. I dont know if he ever plays them, but the tricks that would come out of that would be maaaad!

Haha, I honestly think he would totally kick my ass :)

I assume its my turn...Amazing set MRCK, very hard...

My Set is up: 360 underflip (backfoot)

The closest I got to MRCK's trick was a frontside 360 shove it ha!

My match is up for Pathteks trick. Um, were you being nice to me by setting this particular trick? Its just my videos are full of shove it underflips and 360 double underflips and ... yeah. :)

It did take 5 attempts though, they kept overflipping because I was doing lots of 360 doubles today at the park.

Cool, I have this trick on lock, I'll go skate in a few hours and film my match, so you can already film something for your next set if you haven't already, Roboman.

I love 360 underflips by the way :) Ever tried it with an extra body varial ? It's one of my favorite variations.

^ Yeah, those body varialers are alright, but 360 double UFs are still the best :D Either that or fakie pop shove it underflips when they are caught really high.

Im gonna film my set tomorrow, I have a couple of ideas... sneaky ideas that will bend your brain into a pretzel! Well not really.

HAHA...I honestly thought about you and MRCK when I set that trick....It was one of those moments, where I REALLY couldn't get the trick i've practising a while, so I thought, might as well set something we all can enjoy...lmao! Plus, honestly, I kinda did it right before I had somewhere really important to go to, not much time to try to set anything today either, so that was the first thing to come to mind

My match is up :) So it's Roboman's turn to set now, I can't wait to see how he's going to bend my brain into a bretzel. I like bretzels even more than 360 underflips by the way, hopefully I'll resist the temptation to chomp on my left hemisphere.

Its not as pretzel-bending as I thought it would be. Did a few of these today (the handsign is visible at 11 seconds and 16 frames, I can post a video grab if you really want) I've posted it up on youtube.

Then I went to up-the-difficulty on it, almost got the backside-anti-bigspin-kickflip I was after, but on the third attempt I landed wrong and really hurt my foot. I think maybe I might have broken a toe? :-(

So here it is, enjoy twisting by the pool.

EDIT: Thinking about it now, this trick wont take more than 2 days to learn.

I'll go film my match on satursday I think, or perhaps in the next few hours if the weather gets better, I'll probably have a short sesh in my neighborhood or something. Anyway I hope that your foot will recover fast, injuries suck :(

EDIT

My match is up, despite all the work I had to do I couldn't resist and went outside in my neighborhood to film the requested trick :D I've filmed the trick I'll set when my turn comes as well. I've picked something easy this time, and since it's a half flip late half flip variation Pathtek will probably love it :)

Hey guys, I'm okay to play for the next Game of Skate ! I'll wait this one finishes, it seems that it's almost finished.

Wow that was quick, good job. Do you reckon you would've gotten the backside-anti-bigspin-kickflip I had planned? Probably :)

Heh, I really hope this half half flip set of yours is either nollie or switch...

EDIT: Dont go and change it if it is nollie or switch though haha. :D

Hey guys, I'm okay to play for the next Game of Skate ! I'll wait this one finishes, it seems that it's almost finished.

Sorry, but usually only people with a post count over 250 can join. You might be able to get into the one after that? Its really up to Long Jetty or Pathtek4 to decide, there has been a lot of poeple who join and forget about it, thats why the rule was put in place.

Crap I better start posting more often.

Do you reckon you would've gotten the backside-anti-bigspin-kickflip I had planned? Probably :)

I think I could have matched it but it would have taken me some work, I've never even attempted one :) Pretty cool trick idea though.

And no my set won't be nollie or switch. But it's still a pretty easy one I think, both you and Pathtek will probably match it.

I'm hoping to get my match today guys...sorry for not being as speedy with matches like you two, haha! It's raining out today, but I might be able to get it down in my carport..

Is it possible to join a GOS if you have less than 250? I'm active here I just don't post a lot. Plus if I forget (which I won't) you can just IM me reminding me (which you won't need to).

24 hours, 57 minutes remaining until self-detonation...

Having an issue getting this trick! ITS TOO DIFFICULT FOR MY BRAIN TO KICKFLIP AND TURN BACKSIDE WITHOUT DOING A BACKSIDE-FLIP! ARRRGGHH!!!

How much time do I have left??

It's easier if you pop a low-ish kickflip, and jump really high and do a late turn.

Pretzel brain much? :)

Well it will be exactly four days in about 5 hours time. But Long Jetty's sig says Tuesday something-or-other. You can have the extra day if you need it. It is four days to match isn't it? Or have I got it wrong and its actually five?

And as far as some tips, be springy on your front foot and think hardflippy thoughts. Flick a lot further underneath you than you think. Bust the body varial late, keeping sight of the nose of the board might help. I tend to land pretty twisted in the upper body with these though.

That's likely because you turn your body backside a bit too early. Pop a straight kickflip with your shoulders parallel to the board, then wait until the board starts flipping and turn your body promptly. Awkward trick.

Yeah it's 4 days to match indeed. Long Jetty's sig says 'tuesday 1 AM' so I don't think it really makes a difference does it ? (those different timezones confuse the hell out of me :)) But if it's OK to extend the delay despite of the rules though, I surely wouldn't be against giving him an extra day.

Ah, I didnt spot the time in his sig, I just figured seems as long jetty is also in Australia that he would be in the same timezone. Unless he lives in WA or Adelaide?

Have another day though Pathtek, no probs :)

^You guys are the best :)! I'll get another chance today, right after work! If not, then i'll take the letter tonight and be out, haha!

(UPDATE: 2:46pm EST)
I got it :)!! My match will be up shortly!

Thanks for your help guys, Roboman's "hardflippy thoughts" and MRCK's "shoulders parallel to the board" was what I had replaying in my head, and I finally got it...Thanks again!

I'm glad you landed it, but also sort of not glad because I'm gonna be out next now. :)

I really suck at lateflips.

EDIT: I'm gonna guess at MRCK's next trick... 1/2 Kickflip late 1/2 backfoot heelflip?

Nice job Pathtek !! :)

By the way my set is a 1/2 heelflip late back foot 1/2 flip bs body varial, shouldn't be too hard to learn if you can do high heelflips, and consistent heelflip bs body varials. Uploading it at the time we speak, erm, type.

EDIT: I'm gonna guess at MRCK's next trick... 1/2 Kickflip late 1/2 backfoot heelflip?

Wrong :tongue:

Its all good buddy, we both have to survive MRCKS set, haha!

Speaking of MRCK's set, very interesting trick bro! Haven't seen that before, but i'm optamistic about coming close to landing it :)! SUPER Nice set!

Whoa! This trick is gonna be interesting. The 1/2 heelflip is gonna be hard (considering I can't do regular heelflips hardly at all, which is wierd because I can do varial heels, switch heels etc.) but the late backfoot 1/2 flip shouldn't be too hard at all, and the body varial... I think that could make it slightly easier. :confused:

I'm not overly confident, but this is gonna be very fun to try.

^Absolutly! I too don't really have a problem with the lateflip body varial, but doing it heel first should be REAL interesting...

The body varial does make it easier indeed, because it helps you a lot when it comes to bringing your back foot back on the board :) As for the 1/2 heelflip, here's a tip : pop it as high as you can ! Heelflip bs body varials are easier when you don't pop too hard and focus on the body varial ; however for the trick I set you have to flip the deck halfway then kick it back, so try to pop it so the deck comes up to your back foot, graphic side up, then kick down with your back foot and immediately go for a bs body varial. It's a fun trick, and I think that both of you could match it in less than two days. Good luck :)
