This is a game where you can use take your tricks to the slopes/banks in a game of skate.

Here are the rules:

All tricks must be done on a slope/bank
No Freestyle
No Manuals
Tail stop/nose stops ARE allowed but only to join together tricks (e.g pop shove it to tailstop to shove it)
3 days to set
4 days to match (because you have to get to a slope)
Once you land the trick you must roll away until the bottom of the slope, and you must roll up the slope before the trick
Bonelesses and No-Complys ARE allowed
Once has a trick has been set it can not be repeated again in the game, but if a pop shove it to tail stop to shove it out has been set you may set a pop shove it.

The hand symbol is:

Varial_222

Varial_222
03-11-2007, 12:18 PM
Ah, thanks for pointing that out SK :)

I just realised i got that cool writing for my name :)

EDIT EDIT: Guys my set is posted in the tricks thread, i edited the post.

MRCK
03-11-2007, 02:57 PM
Nice set, I've never tried to take that trick to a bank but I think I'll be able to match without any major problem :p

Stevie Hunt
03-11-2007, 02:58 PM
nice set there mate, never actully done this trick before ever, can you link me to a vid with one done on flat so i can just make sure im gonna be practising the right trick =)

honeymustard
03-11-2007, 02:59 PM
Im 2nd yipee for me! Thanks for fitting me in varial, your da bomb.

Varial_222
03-11-2007, 03:00 PM
Love the trick :p



Anyway guys, the bank is not the one which i was hoping to use, it is not as steep as the one which i am going to use next, so sorry about that :(

Anyway, good luck in matching, if you want any help with the trick i will be more than glad to help :)

And another thing guys, my set has been edited in to my first post.

Shouldnt be too hard of a set, great tricks

Ryusuke
03-11-2007, 03:30 PM
I'm gonna learn alot from this.

honeymustard
03-11-2007, 03:42 PM
Whichever happens first if you read this or get my PM describe to me what the trick that you did for your set waz.

Varial_222
03-11-2007, 03:57 PM
Well, a pressure flip is where the board flips/spins just by the pressure you put on the tail using your back foot.

The pressure flip in the set spins like an inward heelflip using the back foot only, but only half of the flip is completed, then you 1/2 flip it with your front foot.

Here is a thread about pressure flips because i used to be confused about them too.

http://www.skaterscafe.com/showthread.php?t=30351

and here is a trick tip for pressure flips done by aronsamma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAZyfuJCS0s

My trick is a HALF pressure flip half lateflip body varial, not justt a pressure flip.

skatebaker22
03-11-2007, 04:24 PM
ok, i think I understand it now, i didnt at first. also, the steepness of the bank, how steep does it have to be? cause i saw the one you did your trick on and it wasnt near the steepness i was thinking of.

Varial_222
03-11-2007, 04:28 PM
Well as long as it is as steep as mine then it is ok, but the bank which i am gonna use next is steeper than that.

skatebaker22
03-11-2007, 04:39 PM
yeah, i was still gonna use steep ones. is it ok if there is a billion steep driveways around my house that i use?

REPTAR
03-11-2007, 06:33 PM
nice set varial!!!
im not sure if ill be able to get this i can do them without the body varial on flat so maybe :)

honeymustard
03-11-2007, 06:55 PM
I wont be able to do varials set. =[

Sev7n
03-11-2007, 10:12 PM
Hmm.. not sure if I'll get this, done these before though. Nice set.

craigo12
03-12-2007, 02:47 AM
Theyre not as hard as they look tbh, its just getting your feet to do the right thing fast enough, they're fair easy to pick up.

Varial_222
03-12-2007, 10:45 AM
Yeah what craigo said, they look and sound intimidating, but they are not too hard, they just require a bit of practice :)

honeymustard
03-12-2007, 10:46 AM
Yeah what craigo said, they look and sound intimidating, but they are not too hard, they just require a bit of practice :)

dude i cant even varial, and within 4 days I might be able to pressure flip, but theres no way i'll be able to do your trick! so can I just write in the trick thread, "unable to match"

Varial_222
03-12-2007, 10:48 AM
If you can't match a trick you don't write anything.

honeymustard
03-12-2007, 10:51 AM
If you can't match a trick you don't write anything.

okay thanks sorry, this is my first game of skate. so when do i get to set my trick? i have a good un' in mind. :icon_bigg

Varial_222
03-12-2007, 11:24 AM
Your time to set is between the start of march 16th till the end of 19th.

Ryusuke
03-12-2007, 11:27 AM
I think MRCK is the only one who will match

honeymustard
03-12-2007, 11:51 AM
I think MRCK is the only one who will match

I agree, reptar and craigo maybe... but he's definately the going to be one of onlys.

craigo12
03-12-2007, 11:53 AM
I should be able to match, I can do this trick, the only thing is I've never done it on a slope.

Sev7n
03-12-2007, 02:21 PM
I'm in the same position as Craigo.

Stevie Hunt
03-12-2007, 02:47 PM
well today i had one hell of a sesh on this beast, this morning during my break i got the hang of them with no bank and no body varail so already in this game ive learnt something new =)

anyways, im pretty close, just for the life of me cant add a damm body varial to it with out it fliping wrong, more practise indeed, lush set by the way =)

Varial_222
03-12-2007, 02:50 PM
You can do it sparrow ;)

Just pretend you are on flat ground, and do exactly what yo uwould do as if it were flatground, and i found the most important part to this flip is doing the 1/2 flip BEFORE the body varial.

Good luck to everyone! :)

craigo12
03-12-2007, 03:03 PM
Remember its a late body varial, so try not to implement it into the flip, I do a sort of nosegrab after the flip then do the varial

Stevie Hunt
03-12-2007, 03:04 PM
i cant even do the body varial part on the flat, but what ive learnt from my sesh earlyer was it is actlluy easyer to get that bit on the bank anyways..

ahh we'll see..

Varial_222
03-12-2007, 03:04 PM
^^ If you do actually grab the nose the trick won't count so be careful.

Ryusuke
03-12-2007, 06:28 PM
I. Will. Land. This. *****.

REPTAR
03-12-2007, 06:49 PM
I can proboly get it but while my good camera is being fixed ill have to use a digital camera and film with that the quality is okay i guess

honeymustard
03-12-2007, 07:51 PM
I actually might be able to do this trick, I've been learning in the last couple days at a very rapid pace.

Maybe!! Man that'd be a miracle though.
But I believe that anything is possible through christ!

Ryusuke
03-12-2007, 09:31 PM
Oh crap MRCK that was a nice match

Stevie Hunt
03-13-2007, 02:21 PM
nice match bro.

i was soo close today, one point i over spun the late flip and landed both feet on the bottom of the deck, i was practising it today till it was just to dark to film, but im almost sure i can match it tomuro, with finishing collage half day and all =)

Varial_222
03-13-2007, 03:40 PM
Yeah, if you can over flip it then you should be able to make it :)

Come on guys, you can do it :)

craigo12
03-14-2007, 02:58 AM
^^ If you do actually grab the nose the trick won't count so be careful.

I know, I do it without the nosegrab now, but im just saying, thats how I got used to doing this trick.

skatebaker22
03-14-2007, 06:17 AM
yeah, i was still gonna use steep ones. is it ok if there is a billion steep driveways around my house that i use?




also, look at the video on my NEW post to see a bank i may use.
what about this kid's post that hasnt been answered?

honeymustard
03-14-2007, 09:17 AM
what about this kid's post that hasnt been answered?

driveways work.. thats what i used.

Ryusuke
03-14-2007, 11:08 AM
What are the odds....it rained today

Varial_222
03-14-2007, 03:22 PM
Yep Sparrow, your match is just about ok, so well done :D

honeymustard
03-14-2007, 04:10 PM
Woah, nice match boliviar.

Varial_222
03-14-2007, 04:13 PM
yeah, impressive :)

Stevie Hunt
03-14-2007, 04:52 PM
yeah nice match, alot better then mine indeed.

Varial_222

Im proud of you still sparrow, you did it :D

thanks honey, varial, and sparrow. That stupid trick took me more than half of an hour to get. I was so sweaty

Stevie Hunt
03-15-2007, 10:19 AM
^^ that trick took me 3 evenings too get, i got sweat in my eye once too, hurt like hell, also, about 10 minites before i landed it and guy on a motorbike got about with in 3 inches off knocking me down, it was a eventfull set for sure =)

Varial_222
03-15-2007, 10:26 AM
Have u tried other variations of that trick yet sparrow?

Bolivar Skater
03-15-2007, 03:40 PM
Have u tried other variations of that trick yet sparrow?

I know that this wasn't addressed to me but what do you mean by variations?

Varial_222
03-15-2007, 03:41 PM
well you can do them without a body varial, you could put a late 180 with a half front flip, you could do a 1 1/2 late flip instead of just 1/2, use your imagination :)

Stevie Hunt
03-15-2007, 05:50 PM
yeah i did learn some actully, i learnt it with out the body varial on the flat, i learnt just pressure inward heels (never tryed them before and this trick helped me learn them), first set and ive learnt so much all ready =) thats what its all about =)

i wanna work on this trick, just with not the body varial. i would like to be able to land it X footed, maybe practise full inward heel pressure flip late flips, possibilitys are endless =)

nice set =)

honeymustard
03-15-2007, 06:15 PM
lets see if anyone else matches it.

Sev7n
03-15-2007, 06:42 PM
Ah! I finally got the trick and it's raining!

Stevie Hunt
03-15-2007, 07:13 PM
^^ aww that sucks bro, weathers been good to me lattly, though with me just saying that, my luck it will now rain for like 6 months straight haha.

Just kidding, hahaha.

Stevie Hunt
03-15-2007, 07:45 PM

honeymustard
03-16-2007, 10:04 AM

Bolivar Skater
03-18-2007, 06:47 AM
Hey Varial, I can't c ur match 4 honey's set. Am i the only 1 experiencing this technicality? If no one can view ur match, then u might have to refilm it or reupload it or something right?

Varial_222
03-18-2007, 06:50 AM
I know, i am going to upload to putfile soon.

Stevie Hunt
03-18-2007, 08:18 AM
nice match, sparrow i have to admit yours was verryyy iffy.

well, i did do the trick proply, i'll even send you the file if you wish, i do admit that the quality is crap due to how dark it was, i can always film one latter to day though before its dark =)

Varial_222
03-18-2007, 08:27 AM
I say sparrows ok, no need to re-match sparrow, unless anyone else disagrees with me?

honeymustard

skatebaker22
03-18-2007, 07:52 PM
MAN! i find this trick REALLY easy, but i cant match it because i have no acsess to a camera at the moment.

Bolivar Skater
03-18-2007, 11:08 PM
I say sparrows ok, no need to re-match sparrow, unless anyone else disagrees with me?

I think sparrow could get it again and if sparrow does refilm it, please leave the screaming woman audio out.

Matched by: Sparrow, Boliviar, Varial, MRCK, Sev7n

honeymustard

Bolivar Skater

Stevie Hunt
03-21-2007, 10:24 AM
^^ cant wait to see your set bro, or Rysukes.

ive got a few ideas for my set, im thinking something quite obscure here.

Bolivar Skater
03-21-2007, 02:00 PM
My trick is gonna kill... I was just outside and I landed 1. Both of the batteries 4 my camera are dead, so i couldn't film it. They are both charging right now. I can't wait:icon_joy:

MRCK
03-21-2007, 02:19 PM
As far as I'm concerned my trick is going to be a fun and really easy one, just not the kind of stuff you would expect from me I guess, everyone should be able to match though.

REPTAR
03-21-2007, 03:07 PM
I could've matched this pretty easily but i dont have axcess to a camera..i might get mine back today but w/e give me SK
unless you want to give me an extension

Stevie Hunt
03-21-2007, 03:10 PM
Bolivar looking foward to see it mate, same for MRCK.

ive got a few ideas for my set if i get there, not ever tryed them on a bank though, should be intresting to see.

So... you came into this game knowing u didn't have a camera?

Ryusuke
03-21-2007, 10:01 PM
Damn...it was such an easy trick I should have matched it...

My set? I'll have one shortly

Varial_222
03-22-2007, 08:32 AM
I will update my sig in a few minutes, and yes Rysuke, it is your set :)

No i had a camera but my sister took it for like 4 days and i just got it back.

Varial_222
03-23-2007, 01:55 PM
Rysuke you only have the rest of today to set.

Ryusuke
03-23-2007, 04:19 PM
I just went outside and did the trick, but I did the wrong hand sign...

REPTAR
03-23-2007, 04:23 PM
^ what trick?

honeymustard
03-23-2007, 04:29 PM
I just went outside and did the trick, but I did the wrong hand sign...

Your foot touched the ground and you practically bounced off the ground with the pressure of that foot to get back on the board.

I think you know what im sayin.

MRCK
03-23-2007, 04:29 PM
Any chance you could upload your clip to youtube Ryusuke ? I don't seem to be able to watch your vids everytime you use putfile.

Varial_222
03-23-2007, 04:31 PM
Rysuke i think it should be re-done because of these reasons,

1. Wrong hand symbol, i made these rules so we can stick by them, if i let you slide everyone will complain at me if i do not let theirs slide for one reason or another

2. There was a lot of toe drag, almost your whole foot was on the ground.

So i think it should be re-done.

Stevie Hunt
03-23-2007, 04:49 PM
in my view, i recon it counts, ive been in multiple games of skate and gotten mixed up on the hand signs, about the toe drag, i recon its ok, as long as were aloud abit of toe drag, its cool.

Set counts in my opinon.

atrain
03-23-2007, 04:50 PM
this is more than a little bit of toe drag

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h217/theredderlemur/skatemiss.jpg

look.... your foot is completely off the board and your weight is on the ground. cool trick though. just get a better landing

honeymustard

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h77KkpAjAe8

Not to be mean or annoying or anything but you toe-dragged a lot, Ryusuke's first set didn't count because of that same problem so I fail to understand why yours would. Not to mention that toe-drags are one of the main difficulties of tricks with body varials on banks :icon_bunc

Varial_222
03-28-2007, 01:59 PM
^^ His toe did drag but rysuke had his heel almost on the floor, and another reason rysuke had to re-set was because of the wrong hand sign.

Bolivar skater you have until the end of march 30th to set, my sig has been updated. Any clues as to what you are setting?

^^ His toe did drag but rysuke had his heel almost on the floor

Well Bolivar Skater had his heel almost on the floor too, such a match shouldn't count in any case (in my humble opinion) because then you land with most of your weight on the floor, while you're at it you might as well land with your whole foot on the floor then hop back on the board... I really don't want to be annoying but allowing such landings would pretty much ruin the game in my opinion, however since Bolivar proved that he could do the trick, maybe he could be given a short extension to refilm a cleaner match or something ?

Upon futher inspection of bolivars match i have seen that the only part of his foot touching the board, where the concave is, you can see this if you pause it on the landing.



Sorry to tell you that bolivar but i am prepared to give you a 1 day extension, If you wish?

opposite body varial.
thats what a body varial is. if you turn the way the board does, its a body follow.

Bolivar Skater
03-28-2007, 03:46 PM
No I'll take the letter if that's what everybody thinks. I did toe touch but not for a long time and I didn't use it to catch my balance. I do have my set. I am posting it right now.

What is it btw? Because i think i have to go in a min.

I should be able to get it :)

Btw, you caught at 90 and span the rest of the way, very stylish :D

As you can see i toe drag, but when bolivar did it he used it to balance, mine was only on the ground for a milli second.

MRCK
03-29-2007, 11:21 AM
Yeah your toe barely touched the ground, I think it's pretty obvious that you didn't rest all your weight on it, the landing looked rather solid ;)

I should be able to match this without too much trouble, my switch fs heels are fine and they seem easier on banks than on flat, however I don't think I'll be able to get to a slope until tomorrow or Sunday, I have to find a natural bank because going to the park is out of question these days, for the following reason :

Varial, nothing against you but does it count if it only gets 90?

Varial_222
03-29-2007, 02:26 PM
it went over 90 by a little bit, and i pivoted the rest so it is ok..

Sev7n
03-29-2007, 02:53 PM
Oh, alright just making sure, mine's probably going to be very similar since I've never tried these. Thanks.

Yeah, as long as you get it 90 and pivot the right way then it is ok.

Bolivar Skater

Varial, nothing against you but does it count if it only gets 90?

I'm sorry varial but imma have to agree with sev7n. I think that u shouldn't be able to land 90. It wouldn't count in any other GoS, so I don't think it should here. Besides, you could get a better looking one anyways. :) And, the toe touch desision was bogus. I watched both videos side-by-side and we had our feet on the ground for the exact same amount of time. My foot was on the board just as much as your foot was on the board. The camera angles were just different. In all fairness, if you're gonna count your match, then my match should count as well. Because you started this game, shouldn't mean that you get to land the tricks any sloppier. Sorry, I was on a countinuous rant. I had a lot to say.

skatebaker22
03-30-2007, 07:19 PM
Yeah, as long as you get it 90 and pivot the right way then it is ok.

Umm... I think he said pivot the right way, not pivot right away.
Maybe that's what he meant though...<DN:) I think it should be redone as well.

Varial_222
03-31-2007, 12:46 AM
I meant pivoting the right way as in toward where the trick should have been landed.

I did that.


But, i will try and get a better match :)

I figured it was an accident by someone, but if there is a reason, close it again, and let me know, so I don't assume it wasn't supposed to be and not reopen it again.

I don't know who or why it was closed.

My re-match is up btw guys.

Bolivar Skater
03-31-2007, 03:10 PM
match

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWW5VsLJ3-w


EDIT: re-match

Ok, it looks like i do far much more toe touch, but my toes only very slightly touch for a fraction of a second, and i got the full 180 with this, so it should be fine :)

http://media.putfile.com/Switch-fs-heel-re-match

...toes... both of your feet touched the ground that time. Your first match was better than this one. This is a game of skate. not a BGOS or BBGOS. If your match counts then I see NO reason why mine shouldn't count. You guys, varial pm-ed me and said:

Hey bolivar, my match was backed up by sev and MRCK, only you disagreed, so it counts, while in your twisted 360 flip me and mrck disagreed and only you agreed. It goes by majority, along with common sense.

can anyone help me here? Does everyone think that his should count and not mine? And don't you say I don't have common sense. I know how to call it when someone lands a trick. I think that we should both get a letter. Both of our feet touched so they both shouldn't count.

terence123trh
03-31-2007, 03:16 PM
well i my honest opinion varials set should not count because his toes touch and the rules say no toe touch. bolivars toes touched even less and his didnt count so i think varials should no count, sorry varial.

Varial_222
03-31-2007, 03:21 PM
My toes touched the ground for a fraction of a second, same applies for my first match, atm, sev mrck and me support my match while terence and bolivar disagree, majority is in my favour atm, and bolivar, what are you talking about, me taking a letter now? There is still one day left to match, and terence the majority rule only counts for participants, you are not in the game.

AND, i got a rep comment from skatebaker, one of the participants saying "that was MUCH better=)" for my re-match.

terence123trh
03-31-2007, 03:37 PM
my opinion for bolvirs twisted flip it it wouldnt count either but because both of your toes touched that why i think it should not count otherwise thats breaking the rules, (maybe if it was on toe touching it would be ok if for only a fraction of a second).
im just ruling out the rules as fairly as possible, dont hate me:(
im just trying to help

Okay u still have exactly 24 hours from this edit to get a proper match. It shouldn't matter if the skaters commenting are in a game or not. They more than likely skate just as much, if not more, than we do. They can help make decisions in cases like these. And, skatebaker ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? :icon_eek: :eek: Watch both of them.
The 1st one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWW5VsLJ3-w):
-only turned 90 degrees
-toe touched
-stopped for a second
-tic-tacked several times to get away

The 2nd one (http://media.putfile.com/Switch-fs-heel-re-match):
-still didn't turn the full 180
-toes of BOTH feet touched this time
-had to "hop" to get back on board
-tic-tacked once to get away

Varial_222
03-31-2007, 03:46 PM
1. I got more than 3/4 of the way round on the second one
2. On my front foot on the landing my toes did not touch, they hovered above the ground.
3. There is nothing against tic tacking.

Well, that is all my skating for today, i could not get a re re match, i strongly think at least one of my matches count, in some peoples opinion (MRCK) both of them should count, sev thought my first one sould count, skatebaker22 thought my second should count, that's 4 people who agree with at least one of my matches.

There's only 20 minutes left to match. If you have your match, you should put it up now.

Okay, if yours counts, mine counts. Its that simple.

No it's not, no offense Bolivar but I don't think such a trick should be allowed in anyway :

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/mrck41/vlcsnap-258062.png

especially considering that toe drags are one of the main difficulties to avoid for a proper 360 flip body varial on banks, if your trick counts then I think everyone else could have done it like that, it wouldn't be fair for all the players who actually tried to get a clean match and eventually failed to get a match at all. I think it's pretty obvious on the clip of your match that you used your toe on the ground to balance (I watched it like 20 times at super slow-mo to make sure), it shouldn't be allowed in anyway.

Whether Varial's match(es) count or not is another debate, I personally would count them since his toes barely touched the floor, a toe-drag is a thing, not making the trick is another thing.

I've been too lazy to get to a slope and get a sw fs heel on film just for this game today, so give me a letter ;) My set will be up tommorow morning.

varial222's re-match was LOVELY, and im pretty picky. i think it's is fine, and while his toes touched, they barely did, and his center of weight was DEFINATELY on the board, unlike in bolivar skater's trick.

in my opinion, varial's counts, bolivar's does'nt.

Varial_222
04-02-2007, 01:18 AM
Thanks skatebaker, matching time is up, the majority liked at least one of my matches, so that means everyone except me and bolivar since he was the setter, takes a letter.

MRCK, it is your set :)

REPTAR
04-02-2007, 02:05 PM
if you want me to redo it i can its just that i faked sick from school so i snuck out and went to a bank and did it in like 3 mins...i tried to do it was quick as possible...do we need to ride back down the bank fakie?

MRCK
04-02-2007, 02:09 PM
You did the right trick but you didn't land it, it's pretty obvious that you cut the clip off right after the revert because you didn't manage to stay on the board and roll away properly, it's not a make, so I demand a rematch ;) Also you rest your front foot on the floor for a bit too long for my taste, not that it matters a lot in that particular case but I'd suggest that you try to do something about it while you're at it, for your own contentment :)

REPTAR
04-02-2007, 02:14 PM
whatever i didnt fall i just like tic tacked like 5 time and then like stopped moving but i didnt fall i guess ill re match.

Varial_222
04-02-2007, 02:15 PM
Reptar please go and re-match, the rules state and i quote

Once you land the trick you must roll away until the bottom of the slope, and you must roll up the slope before the trick.

Bolivar thanks for the rep with my match :)

Good set, I can do them consistently as well as a bunch of more advanced variations, however I don't know whether I should stay in this game or not since I don't have access to a slope anymore (which got me three letters that could have been easily avoided) and I don't know when I'll be able to skate a bank again. Hmm... :icon_drdo
