Ok Game of skate 8, Rules:

Same as every 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 8” 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.

MRCK
12-15-2006, 01:22 PM
Yeah it's pretty cool to have him in the game I think, it's a good initiative to try a higher difficulty level every now and then and who knows, he may learn some cool tricks from playing with us. I know that playing against better skaters than me on other forums helped me improve a lot, he may not win but that's not what matters and he'll learn from this experience for sure :) It's basically just like skating with more experienced skaters in real life.

Anyway I'm stoked ! This game is going to be awesome, I can feel it already.

It's too late..

You're supposed to sign up in the "Sign Up Thread"..
Not in the discussion thread, after a trick was set, and when they have the order of who has the next tricks.. :icon_wink

Looks for sign ups for the IGOS(I think it's gonna be called)..
A continuation of the Bgos except the tricks will be more difficult and the rules will be less lenient..

If he joins, he's not going to have an easy time..

I spent two full hours it the blazing freakin sun trying this trick. I actually landed a few that were a little underrotated by like 45 degrees, but I'm not using those unless it's my only choice. I did get one good one but my stupid camera didn't save it right.

MRCK

Hahaha, I don't plan on coming close to MRCK's set lol.

Don't worry, I think you will. In GOS7 I didn't know much about everyone's abilities yet, so I busted a few of my best tricks because I thought I would need it to stay in the game, I was too much used to the games of SKATE we do on my own message boards where we always set pretty nasty tricks such as fakie gazelle impossibles, fakie 720 big flips or fs 180 featherflips, playing these games on a regular basis got me into the habit of struggling hard in order to avoid getting too many letters :icon_bore And it's hard to get rid of such an habit, but for this turn I forced myself to do something I regarded as too easy for an online game of SKATE, to make sure that it wasn't gonna be too hard. It's going to be an enjoyable trick for you to learn I think, not something frustrating.

MRCK

guys does my match count?

It's not up to me to decide (otherwise I think I would count it :)), but I don't know, the only slight problem I have with it isn't that you landed 270 degrees then pivoted the rest (I didn't even mind it, the trick itself looked pretty smooth, congrats :)), but that you didn't roll away after you pivoted and you had to tic tac away. That may disturb the others since it's against the rules, so try to film another one where you roll away better maybe ? I don't know.

If you guys can watch .wmv files , then folow these directions.
1) go to the putfile page with the video
2)Go View > Page source
3) hit control+f
4) type in " .wmv "
5) copy the source code ex. http://uploadfile.putfile.com/getfile/1166452bslash96-b72-0d9c52754video473slash0sslash34314111383.wmv
6) go to skaters cafe and make this a link, dont post it, jsut make it a link to yourself.
7) then just right click and save the movie.

Sounds complicated but it's not really.
See if this works :D

I'll try these later on.

MRCK
12-20-2006, 01:22 AM
My set is up, it's a plasma spin. Rare trick but it's nothing hard I swear. Basically there are two ways of doing them :

- the 'soft' way : set your front foot somewhere close to the front bolts with your toes slightly hanging off the toe-side edge of the deck (or pretty much wherever you can get it out of the way so it won't be caught in the spin, it really doesn't matter for this trick), and have your back foot toes on the heel-side corner of the tail at a 45° angle so it looks like something like this : http://mrck.skyblog.com/pics/581133949.jpg . Then you have to apply pressure on the corner of the tail with your back foot toes a little over the back wheel so the board starts to flip over kind of like during a pressure flip - keep your back foot low for a while so the grip tape side of the deck comes in contact with the inner side of your foot, and throw your shoulders around in a frontside 180 really quick while drawing a little circle in the air with your back foot so the deck wraps 360° in total around your heel. Then t landing is similar to a fs big spin.

- the 'beastly' way : that's how I do them switch : http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/4576/switchplasmaspinto6.gif - set your whole back foot across the tail perpendicular to the length of the board, pop as hard as you can so the deck goes as vertical as possible and go through the motions of a fs big spin but keep your back foot low so the deck wraps around your heel and you never lose contact with the grip tape.

It's not a hard trick, it may be a little bit tricky to figure out at first but no doubt that at least some of you will have learned it on time. Good luck !

EDIT - Haha, three replies already.

MRCK
12-20-2006, 03:32 AM
Wait... didn't you say you'll start off with something fairly easy?

Well I swear it is :icon_yes: The 'frontside big spin impossible' name may sound a bit impressive but it's actually even easier to do than a regular fs big spin in my opinion because your back foot helps the spin, plus this isn't the Beginner Game of SKATE so I wasn't going to set a kickflip either. I had filmed a few more advanced tricks but I think I will only use them during the finals if I can make it there of course.

:icon_bunc

Uncleleo
12-20-2006, 03:35 AM
Alright, looks like I will be taking a letter here probably haha. I probably won't need that extension though. If anything when I get on the computer on saturday I will either post up my math (most likely not), or post that I couldn't get it.

I was trying these, right? I am no where close haha.

MRCK
12-20-2006, 03:52 AM
Don't let the seemingly complicated aspect of the trick put you off, it's really easier than it seems. I've made a GIF animation not only to show you my smelly feet and my room's carpet but also to help you learn the trick faster, it depicts the basic motions you have to go through in order to successfully complete the trick : http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/875/plasmaspintricktipyg9.gif

Hope this helps. Oh and if you can do pressure hardflips, it shouldn't be a problem, basically it's the same thing but you keep your back foot low for a while and draw a little circle in the air when the griptape side of the board comes in contact with it to get the wrap.

I'm sure that most of you can do it :)

Pathtek4
12-20-2006, 06:09 AM

Roboman
12-20-2006, 06:13 AM
Oooh, I was trying these last game of skate because I thought you might do them. I actually get closer to frontside impossibles than these. I've got frontside bigspins back, just gotta dip them in a bit and impossiblize them.

Oh yeah. In the process of trying these today I got a regular stance 360 kiwiflip. Woot I say!

It's a frontside impossible with a frontside body varial, basically a frontside big spin during which the deck wraps around your back foot heel.

Here's the slow-mo : http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3771/plasmaspinje4.gif

It's not sketchy at all man, awesome job :) Now take them to banks ! Just like on my current avatar :) They're even easier on sloped surfaces in my opinion (so it may be a good idea for the others to try them there first) and they feel even better.

Thanks for the Rep man, It came quite easy since I have already been experimenting with fs impossibles (without the rotation). Putting a ton of pressure on your back foot is the key. There's a ton of possibilties with this trick, now I just gotta let my imagination take over........

There is no way I'm gonna be able to land these. I can't get the scoop with my heel at the same time as I spin my body. The few regular frontside bigspins I got were hard enough. Tried for maybe 1 1/2 hours today all up.

Plus, its far too hot / stuffy. Bushfires everywhere. Raining ash. Ugh.

Awesome :) This trick feels good doesn't it ?

Hey MRCK, i'm having trouble tipping the board on its side for the scoop, do u have any tips for me?

Well. The back foot action is pretty similar to the one for a pressure hardflip, for a plasma spin you have to learn how to point your back foot toes down so the board starts to flip over about 1/4 the kickflip way (kind of like if you were going for a straight pressure flip or a kickback) yet still pop the tail so the board starts to spin frontside a bit and the griptape side comes in contact with the inner side of your back foot. You have to have to point your toes down, keep your back foot low so the deck flips over a bit and scoop right away in the right direction - basically the key is to locate the right pressure point, by this I mean that you have to experiment with a lot of different back foot positionings until you find the exact bit of the tail you have to apply pressure on. Pressure flips take some logic in order to be figured out because they're all about finding the exact spot on your deck to pop and scoop in order to get the board to react the way you want it to and get the desired spin - if you want me to get into more accurate information, here's a little scheme I drew :

http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/9710/plasmaspinpresspointdy4.jpg

(yeah I know about the square tail, I used an old pic of an old deck)

Basically, the white lines are the axises of your back truck bolts, and you have to apply pressure with your big toe right in the corner I circled in red (which is basically right over the back heel-side wheel) while popping the tail on the area I circled in white, point your toes DOWN, then keep your back foot low while jumping up and scoop frontside a bit in the direction I depicted with that yellow arrow - this should cause the deck to flip over as it's supposed to and end up the way I drew it in yellow, then all you have to do is a quick body varial while slightly wrapping the board around your heel and land as if it was a regular frontside 180 or frontside big spin.

A friend of mine does them with quite a different back foot positioning : http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/706/plasmaspinslow1lb.gif look how his back foot is tilted 45° towards the nose of his deck instead of towards the tail. I find his technique a bit harder, but you may want to give it a try if mine doesn't work for you.

There is no way I'm gonna be able to land these. I can't get the scoop with my heel at the same time as I spin my body.

Try facing the direction you're going a bit more before you pop, turning your body earlier and keeping your back foot low longer (kind of like if you were doing a kickback or a bubble) so the board will wrap around your heel no matter what happens.

Well I think that it's up to Long Jetty to decide but I personally would count it :) It was a bit underrotated but I would let that slide because you did get the grasp of the mechanism of the trick so now cleaner landings are only a matter of practice. Well done !

Qtip

A lot of people have been saying they can't scoop it. If you can't scoop try this, this is how I do them. Pop the most vertical f/s pop shove-it you can, and keep your foot at the tail. Turn your body 180 and kick your back foot out so the board finishes the spin. Make sure you jump high enough to do all this. Wait for the board to finish spinning, and land.

Varial_222
12-22-2006, 12:31 PM
Guys i can get the part where the board rotates but for some reason the board does a pop shove it instead of tipping on it's side for an impossible, i have my toes in the corner but it's not working.

Any more tips? :)

Turn your body 180 and kick your back foot out so the board finishes the spin. Make sure you jump high enough to do all this. Wait for the board to finish spinning, and land.

Yeah that's the way I do them switch, I think it looks even better that way because the board goes even more inverted :) but it takes more effort, you have to pop really hard.

One more tip : it's a bit hard to get used to keeping your back foot as low as long as possible so the board starts to wrap around your heel for this trick because it's quite an uncommon thing to do, you have to resist the urge of sucking your back leg up right after the pop (as you usually do on frontside pop shuvits or fs big spins) and actually think of it as if you wanted the board to go as vertical as possible and do as if you were going to plant your back foot on the ground, wait a bit so the board goes inverted, then and only then bring your back foot back up once the grip tape side of the deck meets the inner side of it. Don't forget to throw your shoulders around in a quick frontside 180 and you should be fine.

Or just basically learn the frontside variety of what Roboman calls 'inverted shuvits' (1/2 impossible 1/2 back foot underflips) by popping feirce fs pop shuvits and keeping your back foot low so the deck kind of wraps around your heel, and add a full fs 180 to that, it should work.

Qtip
12-22-2006, 03:30 PM
Oh man I landed a couple more good ones today, I'm getting them pretty vertical now. Since I lack the firewire, what I'm gonna do is connect my camera to the T.V, and film the T.V with a cel phone cam.

Sorry man, but I don't think that should count. That was way more underrotated than Mike's and your foot was clearly on the ground. I think that should be a redo or something.

Yeah Varial, I would have been glad to count your match even though it would imply to let a bit of sketchiness slide so you wouldn't get a letter, but this is just too much, sure it looks like you guided the board around with your back foot but you only spun a fs pop shove-it, not to mention that the landing itself was far from being clean. So I don't think it should count, but it looks like you're on the right track though, try doing the same thing you did but throw your shoulders into a very quick frontside 180 right when you pop to do the body varial really early and at the same time, use your back foot as you did in the video so you get a full 360 of the board in total. And get your set ready by the way, it's your turn soon :)

Ok guys, i decided to set now, it's a 1 foot 720 kickturn, your front foot must not come back on to the board until the full 720 degree roatation is complete.

I had to kickturn away a bit after the trick because i was about to smash in to either the bins or my conservatory.

If you need me to re-set i will.

Roboman
12-25-2006, 07:30 AM
Interesting. I dont mind trying to match this one, but there might be some problems with it. Here are the rules:

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 tricks thread” this makes the tricks easier to locate instead of sorting through millions of pages of discussion.

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.

Looking at this, rule 2 says "Once the board leaves it wheels..." implying that it must be in the air at some point. It also says you have to roll away, which is sort of difficult for one foot 360's like that. Very cool trick though.

EDIT: I also just realised that rule 2 also knocks out any fingerflips, salflips, bonelesses, no-complies, beanplants or foot plans of any kind.

MRCK
12-27-2006, 02:08 PM
Sorry but as Qtip said you can't really count that as a revert or a pivot (and I do believe that all the varial kickflip reverts in GOS7 were fine), that was just a nollie shove-it body varial quickly followed by a kickturn. However, since actual nollie shove-it body varial reverts shouldn't be too hard to learn for anyone here (I think) and since it's Varial's first time in a GOS, I wouldn't be against letting this little flaw slide and count his set as an actual nollie shuv body varial revert. However the matches would have to be actual nollie shove-it body varial reverts (we could make an exception for uncleleo since he has posted his match already, and supersonix has to re-do his trick anyway). Just my two cents, I guess it's up to LJ to decide, once again :p

Uh, I've got a question before trying these. I'm attatching the revert straight on the end of the nollie boomerang. Theres two directions to do the revert:

One means the board will do a full 360 and I'll do two backside 180s in succession.
Two means that I'll do a backside 360 and the board will go 180 and 180 back.

To be even to varial222s set, I should probably do option 1 because its more similar to his. Can I do either one I want, or would it be better to just do both?

Uh, I've got a question before trying these. I'm attatching the revert straight on the end of the nollie boomerang. Theres two directions to do the revert:

One means the board will do a full 360 and I'll do two backside 180s in succession.
Two means that I'll do a backside 360 and the board will go 180 and 180 back.

Option 2 is actually more like varials.

Option 2 is actually more like varials.

Oh yeah, I screwed up my words. I did it varials way regardless. My match will be up very soon.

ALSO! Keep in mind that whoever puts music over their skating in this Game of skate will be completely muted in the video I'll make at the end of it. I put different music in the final thing, so regualr skating sounds are fine, but I have to mute clips that already have different music becauee they clash real bad. Just letting you know.

Well now you tell me :icon_redf ...haha! Well I can always upload one without music, I just do it sometimes to take out my truck noises. I leave it running so the inside stays warm and put the camcorder on top of the hood (why it lays sides sometimes)

Well I'd probably mute it anyway if the noise of your truck is too loud so dont worry about that.

Although supersonix6's music on his f/s bigspin impossible is awesome. In the editing I'm gonna pause the normal music just to have that one play though, then cut back to the normal stuff again.

You say it won't open in WMP? Like you can't bring up the ''Capture from video device'' option? That is very odd!
You know, it sounds like somewhere along the way you changed setting accidentally because there is alot of videos you can't view on other sites like putfile. Did you recently download a player like ''realplayer or Divx"? It may be possible that it is set to ''default'' player and is screwing with your system

Sorry pathtek, I meant movie maker***

Normally I use a digital camera, which records in MPEG, it's in repair so I can't use it. Myu sister got a digi cam for chrissy and I asked if I could borrow it to film my trick, it records on MOV and WMM wont open MOV so i converted it to MPEG and it still wudnt open, so I just uploaded the whole file on youtube. I have filmed with another camera, which is quality like a camera phone, it records on MOV and when I convert it, it opens fine in WMM, so something is strange. I think I did install a Divx thing lately though, not 100% sure, I think one came with a program I tried to download.

Don't stress to make that revert perfect, unless you would like do. Just do the nollie shove with the bodyvarial, then like pivot back to normal stance. That's what Varial pretty much did.

Ok here's the deal. I filmed the nollie shove-it body varial revert a few days ago, but haven't been able to upload because I didn't have a firewire (or a computer to connect it to). Yesterday I had a very bad bail (which I will be able to show you guys :D) and hit myself in the abdominal area. It wasn't that bad yesterday but when I woke up today I had a huge pain in the abs, and I can't even walk right. So when I was looking at the old nollie shove-it body varial, I realized I forgot the hand sign. I think tomorrow I will be able to upload the one without the sign (and the bail), so do you think I could maybe get like a day or so extension just so I can film another one with sign once the pain goes away?

MRCK
12-29-2006, 03:56 PM
Just a thought, I think it would save a lot of complications to count the one without the handsign right away. I mean, nollie shuv body varial reverts aren't the kind of thing you film for something else than an online game of SKATE, and even then it's not a common set. So I don't think that anyone would doubt that you filmed it specifically for the game or that you could re-do it in less than five minutes if you weren't in pain. But I don't know what LJ thinks about this little infringement of the rules.

Dang that sucks Roboman, I don't think LJ will have a problem with granting you time extensions though. Good luck.

As far as I'm concerned I didn't know that my nollie kickflip skills were so bad, I can only get the half flip on these nollie bs flips, I guess I need to practice the flick of my back foot ankle a bit more and mess around with different foot positionings, but this is going to be harder to match than I expected.

I had a dream that I had a new baker, my friend and I were playing skate, and he set a rodeo flip to grinding the top of a wall, I just ollied and snapped my deck. It was a VERY sad dream.

I think I've figured out how to get the full flip. Instead of flicking to the side of the board right after the pop I have to wait a bit more and flick more toward the tail while facing the direction I'm going instead of keeping my shoulders parallel to the board - just in case someone is having the same problem as me. I should be able to match this at my next skate sesh.
