This is a game where you can use take your tricks to the slopes/banks in a game of skate. The 3rd game in the series.

Here are the rules:

All tricks must be done on a slope/bank
No Freestyle
No Manuals
3 days to set
4 days to match
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.
No major toe touches/drags (matches and sets with toe drag will be discussed in the discussion thread as to whether they count or not)

The hand symbol is thumbs up:

well unfortunaly i wont be setting cause the bank i was going to use is too small(bigger than some banks used in the previous games) there is a slighty bigger bank but its unskateable at the moment,the only decent bank i can get is on weekends,bummed, so there not really much point of me staying in this game:( sorry guys.

On a serious note though, we probably should have games of SKATE like that too, with fairly basic / common tricks only (ie. kickflips / heelflips in all stances, with extra varials / 180s / etc.) and enhanced rules about cleanliness / speed and the like, to see how good some of us can make them look. Pretty much all the online games of SKATE I've ever seen are like one-sided, like they're only about how technical you can get, I would love to see (read : join :D) a game of SKATE based on simple tricks with style myself, it would give everyone the opportunity to progress in a different way, by perfecting simple tricks instead of just learning new ones / getting too technical. We could also get bonus points for style or something :) That's why I really wouldn't be against it if someone set a ollie to fakie in this game. Don't count on me for that too, because I know that if I do I will be the only one to be that stupid and I'll end up having to match switch motherflips and the like, haha.

I was thinking about how to get hold of the reins on a game of skate and reduce the technicalness of it a while back. So many of these new custom games are drastically tilted in favour of the setter....

Real games of skate are about equal parts trick-bag-size and consistency. Online games of skate completely cancels out the consistency part. Soooo one thought I had was a game where to set a trick, you must do it twice in a row to prove your consistency, but to match you only need to do one as it might be a trick you've never tried. Games would go for longer (maybe too long?), but at least it means that matches will generally be a bit easier and therefore a little more fun.

And a style game would be awesome too. Although that would require a judge of some sorts.

Either way, there are soooo many games running simultaneously, it'd be good to wait until there are less - but they just keep coming!

The DBS Games of SKATE rely on both ability and consistency though :) That's what so great about them. Your idea sounds pretty cool too, maybe we should start such a game soon, and merge it with my idea by picking a judge who would allow bonus style points for stylish looking sets / matches or something. The subjectivity implied by style appreciation could be a real problem for that though.

Make it look stylish then, like don't tick tack out of it or anything, I know it's a hard trick to do properly but try your best to make it look good, it's not like it would be a kickflip either... ;)

speaking of under-rotated, I'm gtting close to nollie gazelle underflips, they're more nollie gazelleNESS, haha, I'm trying to get nollie bigspin underflips landing in a fakie manual and pivoting (no 4 wheels on the ground until it's completely a gazelle though) but I can't get it quite, then once I get descent at those it will boost my confidence to get it like 270 bv 450 nollie underflip, then I'll eventually get nollie gazelle underflips (backfoot by the way) and join the club of SS6, haha

good matthew! any hints?

honeymustard
09-22-2007, 11:37 AM
No hints for you Sev7n.

Oh, and I might need an extension. My laptop doesn't have an internet connection, but my mom's desktop does. So I've been using my mom's desktop lately, but the bad thing is that my mom's desktop doesn't have a firewire port, and I use a firewire cable to capture video on WMM. So I either need to get someone to fix my laptops internet connection, or go to Best Buy or somewhere to get a cable that will connect my video camera to my mom's desktop.

I'll post here tonight if either of those 2 things don't happen.

P.S: My set has already been filmed.

MRCK
09-22-2007, 06:53 PM
Well in all honesty I'm not sure if it should count, of course I don't mean to take anything away from the effort you put into your set honeymustard ;) but it was pretty underrotated and sketchy, you didn't even roll away fakie and had to pivot away from the trick, and I'm not even sure if the spot is steep enough to really count as a bank. But let's just see what the others think :)

Sev7n
09-22-2007, 07:20 PM

How steep was the bank? If you didn't roll down again instantly I would've contested it too. :)

honeymustard
09-23-2007, 07:31 PM
For those saying my late fs shove was just a regular fs shove, your dumb. I just learned them, so it's hard to get them super late.

And my bank definately is good enough. Look at varial's in BSGOS2. Mine is steeper.

Sev7n
09-23-2007, 08:00 PM

it's fine.

Varial_222
09-24-2007, 02:09 PM
Sorry jmaiurro but i don't think that is good enough, it has to be a little bit steeper, you could tell that when you landed the kickflip you started rolling forward XD

Sorry, and roboman has dropped out too :S

Please, only sign up if you think you can be active!!!

MRCK
09-24-2007, 02:11 PM
I don't know, I'd like you to stay in the game but it's barely a slope, the spot honeymustard used was already barely acceptable and I think this is pushing it a little bit too far, it's like going at your trick with barely any speed, doing it stationary on flatground and slowly going back down... Hell, even the spot I used for my late shove match is really far from being steep enough for what I usually regard as a bank.

EDIT - oops :) Andy has spoken.

Varial_222
09-24-2007, 02:14 PM
I'm just going to film a quick night shot of my bank, i just need to see if mine is ok haha XD

I can use one at the end of the road if i need to which is steeper, the one i am planning to use is ish, about the same gradient as honeymustards.

EDIT: Here is my bank, a clip from bank gos1.

yeah, I'm out because appearently my bank isn't good enough, but this was able to go over in previous games: http://youtube.com/watch?v=tWW5VsLJ3-w
whatever, even though it's called bank SLOPE game of skate and you need more players, varial said no...

OMG, I'm disqualified, but this works? http://media.putfile.com/flargel that's like nothing, no offense, but my bank is at least that and I'm out, lame....

Seņor Waffles
09-27-2007, 04:02 PM
omg u so shouldn't be out

MRCK
09-27-2007, 04:02 PM
I have to agree with Robby there, Varial's 'bank' doesn't look any steeper than his, and both aren't good enough to count in my opinion, we need to have stricter rules on what classifies as a bank and what doesn't in this game, I don't want to see Sev7n's featherflip spot again ;)

RobbySkateboard
09-27-2007, 04:05 PM
I have no problem being out, but if I am, varial should be too! and if he gets to re match so do I

nosnorb
09-27-2007, 04:06 PM

MRCK
09-27-2007, 04:09 PM
I have no problem being out, but if I am, varial should be too! and if he gets to re match so do I

I completely agree, both of you should be treated the same since both your driveways look just as steep. Maybe we should consider lengthening the allowed matching time to one week so both of you could have access to steeper banks on week-ends everytime, or you should be granted extensions every now and then or something.

RobbySkateboard
09-27-2007, 04:10 PM
That sounds good to me, extending the matching period to 7 days would be very good.

plus, I at lease go up my driveway more than a foot then trick, I go up all the way

Also, I could possibly use my neighbors driveway, it's much steeper, but it's kind of gravely and rough, I'll figure something out, or else you guys are down to like 1 player, MRCK the only one using a legit bank, haha

MRCK

The bank I've used for my late shove match (and that I will probably use quite a few times again since it's the nearest one to my house) isn't even that legit to be honest, it's barely steep enough to count as a bank in my opinion, that's why I'm surprised when I see people filming their sets / matches for this game on slightly uphill roads, it's like doing a stationary flatground trick to no roll-away, while the mechanism of the same trick on a real bank would be completely different. I would be ready to bet that about half of the sets / matches from the previous game couldn't have been done on an actual skatepark bank for instance. It's just too easy to take the first slight slope in sight and call it a bank, and if you've skated an actual bank in your life I know you know that it isn't the way it works ;)

RobbySkateboard
09-27-2007, 04:24 PM
You saw my bank MRCK, but I won't be able to get to it everyday, and I actually have done a late shove on it, but no filming of it, I'll get it this weekend because I know Andy, he won't want to disqualify himself, so I'll be back in and we'll both rematch this weekend, and also, Andy's match isn't a match, it's not at all late, mine at least was late.

His match was late, he popped his ollie then kicked the rail of the board with his back foot to spin the shove-it in mid-air, making it a late shove (not the highest / latest one, he did it the lazy way like honeymustard and I did, but it still counts). However he definitely needs to redo it on his skatepark bank for it to count, I think allowing both of you to rematch this week-end or granting both of you an extension (which may be preferable in order to keep the game running at a good pace) sounds good ;)

RobbySkateboard
09-27-2007, 04:41 PM
if that's late, I'm going to do it the lazy way too, none of the LATE shove its for me just the late shove it

Sev7n
09-27-2007, 09:30 PM
i can get these consistent, but i kept getting kicked out of banks and my dad took my board away until tomorrow, which means i'd need an extension. he's had it since wednesday..

It's just too easy to take the first slight slope in sight and call it a bank, and if you've skated an actual bank in your life I know you know that it isn't the way it works ;)

Yeah, thats sort of why I dropped out of the game. The challenge of doing a trick on a bank comes from having to be more confident on landing to stick it. And also because bank tricks have a completely different way of working a lot of the time.

The best example is the way you bail on tricks. They are far more extreme and manly. Such as thus:

EXTREME!

Thats a normal sloped bank to me anyway. I'd regard that small thing rising up next to it is still acceptable, not too much shallower than that though. I do realise that lots of people dont have access to that sort of thing, but yeah, whatever. See yez round.

My bank is steeper than robbys, plus if my bank was not allowed in this game why did you let me use it in bank gos 1 hm?

From now on i will try to use steeper banks if i can.

We will see what robbys nextdoor neighbours bank is like.

Half of the banks in the previous games shouldn't have counted though, since we've been lenient on the rules some people go as far as using slanted roads as banks, therefore to prevent any more rule abuse we need to play by stricter rules. Also it still looks like both Robby's and your banks are just as (non-)steep to me, and jmauirro's bank looked about the same too, I could be wrong of course, but I don't think both should count in this game, we need a harsher limit.

Typical Andy, "mine counts, but his doesn't" response and I have to rematch but he doesn't, if I have to re do it, which I SHOULD so do you, don't try to cheat, you don't even go up on your "bank" you go up about a foot, then fs shove that I don't even consider late, don't be cheap like when you entered beginner game of skate and set backfoot heelflips and ****!

I think I'm dropping out, I was feeling it earlier, excited about skating bank and stuff, but I haven't been or wanted to go to the bank in a while now, and I'm trying to work on other stuff and the whole GOS over the internet is losing interest for me at this point, I mean it requires NO consistancy and you just get pissed trying to land a trick that you may not land and you try for hours going through millions of batteries, I'm just kind of done with these contests for now, maybe I'll join one in the future, but for the next while, I think I'm done. Sorry bout the trouble, but as I said, I'm just done, I'm skating with new friends now and they'd prefer me trying stairs and stuff and I'd like to learn stairs over try for 5 hours to land a super impossible late half flip super late half inward heel to cross foot revert.

I agree, I prefer skating ledges and stairs, then doing flatground tech tricks.

Like I rather seen a clean BS flip off a ledge over a gazelle underflip to crossfoot you know what I mean?

After BGOS7 I'm done with online games of skate, mainly because of school.

RobbySkateboard
09-30-2007, 01:25 AM
on the contrary, I love flat tech, I'll never give it up, but if theres a trick I'm stuck on, I don't have a 4 day limit to learn it, I can learn it proper, I found that my most inconsistant tricks are the ones I had to learn for GOS's, and that's not me, I take pride on consistancy so I like to study videos of the trick watch foot motions etc. then learn them right and have them consistant. In fact today I landed a PERFECT triple kickflip, bolts, perfect rotation and everything, becuase whenever I skate with someone they ask to see certain tricks that I have in youtube vids that AREN'T GOS vids, so I need them consistant to impress, lol. I'de much rather see a super tech trick than a gap, however, I think the trick needs style, and that's something I don't have with tricks that I learn for gos's, I need to learn tricks because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to, I'm still going to film tricks, but if I'm not feeling it that day, I can film something else, I don't need to worry about getting it in 4 days, like triple heels, I'll get them one of these days because I want to learn them, I've taken a month break from those at least! But I know it's there, I just need to work on it, but sometimes you don't feel like doing one trick, and that's what gos on the internet forces you to do

No problem :)

MRCK

@Robby : you never HAVE to learn tricks you don't want to, regardless of whether it's for an 'online game of SKATE' or not, skating is meant to be fun and signing up for a competition on an Internet message board shouldn't be a burden. I've never taken all these games seriously myself, more like an opportunity to get at trying tricks I wouldn't have thought of trying if it weren't for them, I still couldn't be bothered to spend hours and hours working on something I have no interest in just because I don't want to get a virtual letter. These games are supposed to be just as fun as skating in general, and shouldn't be taken seriously, so skate free, regardless of what you sign up for ;)

RobbySkateboard
09-30-2007, 01:14 PM
but to me they have become a burdon, so I'm taking a break, I'll definately be in more later, but not right now.

MRCK
09-30-2007, 03:40 PM
And that's perfectly understandable good sir :) Have fun the way you can !

Isn't matching time supposed to be over now ? Who's next to set ?

Varial_222
09-30-2007, 03:53 PM

MRCK

Yes it is, hurry up please :) Any idea of what you're going to set already ?

Seņor Waffles
10-01-2007, 05:10 PM

okay its up now

honeymustard
10-02-2007, 04:53 PM
Decent set waffles. I was excpecting something more complicated from you since I saw you nail that nollie heel for the AOGOS.

Well I'm going to go match now. I have switch fs shoves consistant :)

Seņor Waffles
10-02-2007, 05:28 PM
well i hurt my back foot the other day so an simple switch trick helps a lot man so yea i took it easy on this one

Sev7n
10-03-2007, 09:41 PM
i'll do this tomorrow, easy set.

MRCK
10-04-2007, 03:25 PM
I found some time to film my match today, I hope it counts since I had to use a... somewhat challenging bank (which is steeper than it looks in the video, the road at the bottom is sloped too), and I couldn't actually pop the trick or I would end up landing halfway on the curb at the bottom and shoot out. I can always refilm a popped one on another bank this week-end, it should be first try material, but I don't think I will need to, will I ?

Seņor Waffles
10-04-2007, 03:27 PM
i think u do man it was a pivot with a body varial but i understand why

MRCK
10-04-2007, 03:32 PM
A pivot with a body varial ? :icon_weir It was clearly a switch front shove, just not popped, but if it really matters then I'll go film a nicer one on another bank soon, it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Seņor Waffles
10-04-2007, 03:33 PM
well i made no sense rite now

lol wow i'm like out of it

but it was good but no pop man

MRCK
10-04-2007, 03:35 PM
Okay then no problem, I'll go film a better one tomorrow as I said :) Switch fs pop shoves are one of my all-time favorite tricks, I do them all the time, it should be nothing but fun really, and I'll probably film my own set in advance while I'll be at it ;)

Varial_222
10-05-2007, 02:20 PM
Guys, can i have an extension of about 15 hours or so? I haven't been able to access a big enough bank, but tomorrow i will be able to.

MRCK
10-05-2007, 02:23 PM
Sounds fine to me :)

I rematched by the way, it's been up in the Bank GOS Tricks thread for a few hours now, I thought I'd drop a line about it since it doesn't show in the Unread Posts as my post got automatically merged with my previous post in the thread.

10-06-2007, 08:51 AM
Varial, I think you have to upload the match on Youtube because whenever I click on your link, it shows you going up the ramp and an advertisement for Putfile comes up.i know. same for me. it justs cuts off and doesn't show you doing the trick.

Varial_222
10-06-2007, 09:09 AM
Ok guys, i edited the link, it's on youtube, sorry about my camera messing up and losing the handsign.

Seņor Waffles
10-06-2007, 11:14 AM
grr he's gonna set sumthin hard i bet

Varial_222
10-06-2007, 11:45 AM
I'll set something tomorrow if i can, i don't want to be too hard in this game, just to take it easy, there is a trick i want to set which may be quite difficult but i don't think i will land it.

Seņor Waffles
10-06-2007, 11:45 AM
can u pls give us a hint

Varial_222
10-06-2007, 11:47 AM
I'll just let you know, because i probably won't land it.

I hope to set a half kickflip half back foot heel.

If i can't get it then it will be something moderately easy.

Seņor Waffles
10-14-2007, 12:22 PM
okay what happened to this game seriously?


if a mod sees this pls close everything this game has like the trick and discussion no one plays and no one sets or nuthin so pls close this

MRCK
10-14-2007, 04:53 PM
Err, what ? :icon_weir I'm still playing and really interested in this game, I guess Varial forgot to point out that his turn was over and that's when the whole thing sunk into oblivion, but it should go on ! It's my turn to set right ? I'll upload something right now.

Seņor Waffles
10-14-2007, 05:22 PM
wtf u already uploaded sumthin a while ago?

MRCK
10-14-2007, 05:35 PM
wtf u already uploaded sumthin a while ago?

The nollie back foot impossible was my match for Varial's trick.

honeymustard
10-15-2007, 05:23 PM
I'm here...

MRCK
10-15-2007, 05:26 PM
Yeah really, everyone is still here, just because a single nollie back foot impossible match isn't posted within five days doesn't mean the game is dead, honeymustard is still playing, I know Varial_222 is still playing, I'm still playing, and some others are probably still playing too, they just remain silent. There's no need to drop the game or skip anyone's turn or anything, it's still active despite the lack of posts.

Sev7n, you have until the end of today to set.

Sev7n
10-21-2007, 12:02 PM
alright, i'll try to get something.

honeymustard
10-21-2007, 12:03 PM
Sweet, thanks.

10-21-2007, 12:06 PM
yeah, dont except the hardest tricks in the world. i might try to set a switch fs flip or my new baby, nollie inward :D

woah, haha, forgot about this.. i kind of don't have a board now so i'll need an extension on the next match or two..

MRCK
10-24-2007, 06:05 AM
Poor Sev7n, you always seem to be unable to set what you originally wanted when it's your turn in these games of SKATE, first the fakie 360 shove instead of the switch featherflip in the mirror game of SKATE and now this, you've probably been cursed or something :)

honeymustard
10-26-2007, 07:44 AM
****, i missed it. I had one filmed but it like got blurry when I went further away from the camera to where the bank is. Basically, you couldn't see it.

And I thought today was the 25th. God damnit.

I would go set today if I could get an extension so... pretty please :)

MRCK
10-26-2007, 10:38 AM
I won't be able to film anything for this game this week because I'll go on a trip with some friends tomorrow morning until wednesday or thursday, then I'll spend a few days at my girlfriend's house, therefore I'm going to need an extension for everything that's going to be set in the next few days, hope it's alright ;)

i've been cursed by the anti-sketch gods :o

hah. it's been horrible here (no board or no rain or just not enough time) but the rain's supposed to be done with tomorrow (been raining for at least a week!) so i'll get down to skating again soon, rest assured :D

Pathtek4
11-05-2007, 08:57 PM
Yeah, is this game officially dead? If so, its getting closed

MRCK
11-06-2007, 02:17 AM
I don't think it's dead (at least I'm still playing :)), it's just that Varial_222 (who's in charge of it) keeps forgetting to keep up with the organisation and updating the lists. Now the question is, is anyone else than me still interested in continuing this game or not ?

Pathtek4
11-06-2007, 06:04 AM
That is basically what I wanna know :)...If everyones good on just closing it up, then we can do so
