AlmostaSkater14 01-24-2008, 08:23 PM i was trying them today, and it really wasnt as hard as i expected. i can do the rotational thing perfect. but i dont jump so i cant land it. when do we have until to match? i have school off tomorrow, no midterms, so ima try skating for a while.
girlsk8r 01-25-2008, 08:56 AM okay... I just posted a few more... A couple have a little more roll away. It's just kinda of hard to get speed in my basement because there's not much space and a couple times I landed on the drain and before the drain the floor is slanted a little downhill and after the drain it slants uphill a little so it's hard to roll away from that when I don't have a lot of speed. Anyways... hopefully there's at least one that will be able to count. :)
Skate1PlanB 01-25-2008, 12:59 PM k sorry i dont have time i had exams ALL week and i didnt have the time
so i need to take a letter lol i dont want to ask for an extension cause like you
said theres to many and its prob to late anyways...but yeah i take a letter
sskatess 01-25-2008, 03:10 PM you can still ask but i was just commenting that there had been a lot.
I did some more. less of a shove but more like a late one. little bit of rollaway. Is your uploading thing working yet?
jakedaskater 01-25-2008, 04:25 PM i got a new camera, so yes i can upload
is it okat if i film a new half cab flip for the match?
i'm to lazy to find the old one
sskatess 01-25-2008, 04:45 PM yeah but get it quick. good good. ahh my match has to process within 15 minutes when matching time ends lol
and it has to count of course to be ok. lol
EDIT: wow that was very quick! I''ll remove your S when i change my sig in 9 minutes.. ohh it better process by then, and count lol
again: im gonna go watch tv for half an hour so hopefully wen i get back i can find out if the matches count and then update my sig.
girlsk8r 01-25-2008, 06:29 PM I'm gonna slow down my matches. They'll be up in a few min.
Merging doublepost
okay I just posted my video with slow mo's at the end. I think the last two slow mo's look the best, but that's just me.
jakedaskater 01-25-2008, 06:30 PM i'm still not sure
they're realy underrotated
girlsk8r 01-25-2008, 06:56 PM well... it's up to you... haha now ya know how i felt having to judge people's for my set. :)
sskatess 01-26-2008, 03:42 AM yeah it is really hard to reply but can you let me and girlskater know soon because i don't know what to do about the scoring now.
Edit I can't change my sig.. too many lines argh
Edit: and i can't even put it at the front of the game because you can't even edit old posts anymore:icon_mad:
I guess I'll just have to post the scores manually every few posts. confusing and annoying yes.
Merging doublepost
OK then the current score
1. AlmostaSkater SKAT
2. Berishman SKAT
3. UberTurtle
4. SskatesS
5. Girlsk8r SK
6. Skate1PlanB S
7. Jakedaskater
8. Justbcuzican
9. AaronBautista S-K-A-T-E
10. Stick Static SK [set due 28th 10pm]
FINAL EDIT:
I print screened the scores i just wrote, cropped it in paint to be the right size. Uploaded it on image shack then copied it to here. That was my way of getting past the 3 line signiture problem. Clever me :icon_gran
girlsk8r 01-26-2008, 08:45 AM ^^haha way to go!
Merging doublepost
Oh and isn't Skate1 supposed to have a K too?
sskatess 01-26-2008, 09:08 AM ^^haha way to go!
Merging doublepost
Oh and isn't Skate1 supposed to have a K too?
thankyou.. ahh yes thats because i changed my sig so many times trying to get it to fit (as text) i lost track of the actual scores lol. Ok now gotta repeat that process.... screw it I'll so it cheaply.. sorry skateone your gonna have a really ugly "K"
actually my ms paint skills weren't too bad (when i realised i could just copy someone elses K)
But i can't get the panda back :(
jakedaskater 01-26-2008, 11:12 AM i think your matches were close enough
so i guess they count
good job
(this is to girlsk8r and skates)
sskatess 01-26-2008, 01:45 PM thanks.. :) and yeah on a random note i really wish i ahd put my name as skates or SskatesS because i think SSkateSS makes it kinda look like my name is kate.
(...which it is not)
Merging doublepost
ok so SS has until monday 10pm to set. Proabably more like 5 pm for most of you.
Berishman 01-26-2008, 01:51 PM blahh this sucks.
torn ligament in my ankle
and its snowing.
and i have SKAT
beautiful.
=[
girlsk8r 01-26-2008, 02:10 PM i think your matches were close enough
so i guess they count
good job
(this is to girlsk8r and skates)
woo hoo! Thanks I appreciate it! I'm sure skates does too! That was pretty hard. Good set though!
Merging doublepost
So any ideas on what the next set will be???? :)
Stick Static 01-26-2008, 09:56 PM well guys im in raleigh i wont be back until sunday after noon but i guess that gives me some time. i have an idea but idk if its too hard or ok... i honestly have only landed it twice (cleanly. I've landed it more but rollaway is a *****) but i think itd make a good set
AlmostaSkater14 01-26-2008, 10:35 PM this might not turn out too hot for me. i just went through my board yesterday. so now i am deckless. i guess ill either not get the next trick, or if i can ill use a friends.
girlsk8r 01-26-2008, 11:03 PM well guys im in raleigh i wont be back until sunday after noon but i guess that gives me some time. i have an idea but idk if its too hard or ok... i honestly have only landed it twice (cleanly. I've landed it more but rollaway is a *****) but i think itd make a good set
hmm... inward heel??? I remember some people talking about that :)
Stick Static 01-26-2008, 11:28 PM hmm... inward heel??? I remember some people talking about that :)
Ha noooooo i suck at inwards lol it actually is a shuvit variation
jakedaskater 01-27-2008, 12:39 AM probably a nollie tre or switch tre
Stick Static 01-27-2008, 02:12 AM probably a nollie tre or switch tre
ha no i dont think thats appropriate for this game lol.
its nothing nollie or switch
Berishman 01-27-2008, 02:47 AM blahhh on top of that screwed up ligament of mine.
i think i just broke my other ankle trying that drop again.
super smart stuff.
=[
sskatess 01-27-2008, 04:25 AM fs shove bs body is pretty hard to get rollaway.
and berishman stop doing that drop for gods sake lol.
girlsk8r 01-27-2008, 09:20 AM man I suck at bs body varials. Even if I just stand on the floor and try to jump in the air and spin 360 I can do it fine spinning fs, but I ended up sideways and on the floor spinning bs. Oh well... I need to learn how to do them. :)
jakedaskater 01-27-2008, 11:32 AM is that the trick?
and i don't believe i need an S because i posted my halfcab flip match
sskatess 01-27-2008, 12:54 PM is that the trick?
and i don't believe i need an S because i posted my halfcab flip match
what is the trick, you don't have an S, What are talking about lol?
Stick Static 01-27-2008, 03:05 PM No the trick is bigspin, but i may not set it if i cant get a good rollaway on this ****.
EDIT: how many hours do i have?
girlsk8r 01-27-2008, 03:12 PM ^^ you have until tomorrow probably between like 3 and 5pm. I'm not sure what the time difference is where you are but where I am skates is 6 hours ahead.
sskatess 01-27-2008, 03:14 PM just to give you an idea of the time difference right here it is 8:15 pm
btw this trick is a ***** for rollaway
Stick Static 01-27-2008, 03:20 PM just to give you an idea of the time difference right here it is 8:15 pm
btw this trick is a ***** for rollaway
ok so your 5 hours and 2 minutes ahead of me. lol.
umm ill see if i can film it today because i was gonna film it while aronbautista(or whaTEVER) SET, BUT HE GOT ELIMINAted (lol caps lock my bad). so ill see if i can get decent rollaway if not then ill just set... idk maybe a 360 shuvit. but that may be too easy. maybe a switch 360 shuvit.
girlsk8r 01-27-2008, 03:28 PM ^^ sounds cool whichever way. I'd personally not prefer the switch one but it'd be a good challenge... for me anyway. :) I have a feeling this game is going to end up being between skates and jake, but I guess we'll see what happens. :)
Skate1PlanB 01-27-2008, 03:29 PM haha yeah i have that feeling too ^^
ill be first one out lol
sskatess 01-27-2008, 03:38 PM ok so your 5 hours and 2 minutes ahead of me. lol.
umm ill see if i can film it today because i was gonna film it while aronbautista(or whaTEVER) SET, BUT HE GOT ELIMINAted (lol caps lock my bad). so ill see if i can get decent rollaway if not then ill just set... idk maybe a 360 shuvit. but that may be too easy. maybe a switch 360 shuvit.
sw. 360 woudl be well ahrd i reckon, well for me. and yeah i rounded. so we're on the same minutes. pretty sure everyone in the world is. ahha
haha yeah i have that feeling too ^^
ill be first one out lol
[QUOTE=Skate1]ill be first one out lol[quote]
that's pretty impossible and i doubt you'll even be next one out.
Berishman 01-27-2008, 03:43 PM damn.
its official, i broke my ankle.
looks like i have to pull out of this one guys.
I guess once im all healed i'll play in the next game of skate,
sorry =[
(not that you care,this improves your chances.... =])
well, i guess i am off to go spam threads now. (jp)
blahh.
this sucks so hard.
this sucks raw.
sskatess 01-27-2008, 04:10 PM damn^^ thats bad man. Shame. woulda been good to have you more active. only a few left now really
Berishman 01-27-2008, 04:26 PM damn^^ thats bad man. Shame. woulda been good to have you more active. only a few left now reallyIt really would have, but, it was fun anyway. I'll be ready the next time that S-K-A-T-E rolls around...
=]
Sonix 01-27-2008, 04:28 PM LIEZ! He just doesn't want to get SKATE
Ah, I feel bad for you. Rolled/broken etc... ankles suck. Althought my ankles are indestructable^^
I still think jake and sskatess should/could be in NGOS :o
sskatess 01-27-2008, 04:31 PM lol well this will definitely be my last bgos, yeah i too perhaps think i should have gone in ngos but I don't reckon we should drop out rioght now.
lol was thinking the same my self, im sorry berish but im not gonna give you an uberturtle, im gonna give you a full out s-k-a-t-e because well it looks better :) lol, im serious but not in a harsh way hah.
Sonix 01-27-2008, 04:32 PM haha! that was totally SSkat0wned.
I didn't mean that you drop out now, just for next game ^^
Berishman 01-27-2008, 04:34 PM lol well this will definitely be my last bgos, yeah i too perhaps think i should have gone in ngos but I don't reckon we should drop out rioght now.
lol was thinking the same my self, im sorry berish but im not gonna give you an uberturtle, im gonna give you a full out s-k-a-t-e because well it looks better :) lol, im serious but not in a harsh way hah.yeah thats fine. even though it will just end up looking like i suck. lol
sskatess 01-27-2008, 04:41 PM yeah but it would look wierd with you being skat and out.
yes i was ss..owned lol
Sonix 01-27-2008, 04:42 PM No I meant that he was owned... by you. >.<
Berishman 01-27-2008, 04:44 PM yeah but it would look wierd with you being skat and out.
yes i was ss..owned lolhah yeah i guess thats true maybe add an injury sidenote?? haha
sskatess 01-27-2008, 04:45 PM lol yeah i should pay attention but im tired. im also quite hungry, i actually just had some cereal despite that being at like 9 30 (tenish mins ago)
edit ahh ok then
yea MS paint ftw. I couldn't be bothered to type it all out as it is currently an image not text. I've changed it usiong only MS paint for a while now just copying and pasting and the like.
it looks like it says ingury though lol

girlsk8r 01-27-2008, 05:01 PM Hey Berishman I'm sorry about your ankle or well ankles. That really sucks. How bad is it and how long do you think you'll be out of skating????
Berishman 01-27-2008, 05:10 PM well, punkybambi said one of his friends broke an ankle and was out of skating for a good 4-5 months.
sure hope i heal quicker though.
haha, i need to google "how to correctly bail to prevent ankle injury" haha, i seriously dont bail right. lol
sskatess 01-27-2008, 05:13 PM yeah lol seriously what do you do like leap off your board then pull your ankles in in some sort of mediator position then carefully align your body to fall on some nice pile of un even bricks.
Berishman 01-27-2008, 05:19 PM yeah lol seriously what do you do like leap off your board then pull your ankles in in some sort of mediator position then carefully align your body to fall on some nice pile of un even bricks.
Haha, nah.
The spot is really ghetto/sketchy, it's like a loading dock type thing, but there is only about 6 feet of space to get speed, and then you are at the drop, so nearly all of the impact is absorbed vertically, I don't think I am going to be trying that spot anymore after this though.
Stick Static 01-27-2008, 05:28 PM bad news
in the middle of filming bigspins (i kept landing perfect but rolling the damn wrong way goddamn damn damn damn rollaway !!!!!!!!!!)
my camera ran out of battery
and i have no more left in the house
so i have no way to film
sskatess 01-27-2008, 05:29 PM good news
you have like 23 and a half hours to charge the battery.
Stick Static 01-27-2008, 05:30 PM good news
you have like 23 and a half hours to charge the battery.
is not chargeable it takes two AA batteries and it burns through both in about 1 hour of use.
maybe i can see if my neighbor has any spare ones
sskatess 01-27-2008, 05:33 PM whiz. uhh yeah do that i have some spairs but i doubt i could get them to you in time ha.
girlsk8r 01-27-2008, 05:34 PM does your camera have any type of wall charger you can plug it into or can't you just run out to the store and get batteries?? And hey any chance we could move the set the set and match times till like 12am because that would give us here in the states a little extra time in the evening on the last day to get a match or set in because for me I get home from work at like 4:30 or 5:00 and then I'm out of luck to even try to get a match on the last day so I lose a day to match. If it were moved to midnight then I'd at least have an extra hour when I got home. Just an idea. If you say no I understand but thought I'd through it out there. :)
sskatess 01-27-2008, 05:41 PM well doing what im doing (rounding to the nearest hour then plussing 3 days) gives everyone the same situation. If a match was set at 10pm my time, that's about 5pm for most of the states people so they get time that i don't. then the next two days both get the full 24 hour days which is equal for both obviously. Then on the final day matching time at 10 gives me a few hours to skate and states people none. Which is an opposite of the first day. therefore we all have same amount of time. But i'm not gonna kill anyone whose like an hour late with their match.
if that sounded complicated then well learning the quadratic equation off by heart was more so.
X is equal to minus B plus or minus the square root of B squared minus 4 AC all over 2A
OK assuming skate time for most is possible between 5-10pm each day my time GMT vs states GMT -5 or + im not sure.. respecitvely
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1308/timesqz1.png (http://imageshack.us)
I get 5 -10 second day and third day equalling 10 hours overall of possible skate time
and states gets 5-10 first and second day equalling 10 hours
girlsk8r 01-27-2008, 05:50 PM ^^ LOL I actually understood that and that makes sense. I didn't think about you getting screwed the first day. :) So yeah it is all fair.
sskatess 01-27-2008, 05:57 PM no problem this just goes to prove that everything can be solved with paint.
girlsk8r 01-27-2008, 06:17 PM ^^LOL you have too much time ;) j/p I've got too much time on my hands right now but I have strep throat. :( so I'm perfectly fine if stick static can't get his set up till tomorrow :)
AaronBautista 01-27-2008, 07:15 PM hey guys
is there any way i can secure a spot for the next bgos?
girlsk8r 01-27-2008, 07:26 PM ^^ I don't know for sure but I think it's really just first come first serve. Just keep track of when this one ends and then keep an eye out for another one to start.
AaronBautista 01-27-2008, 07:52 PM ^^ I don't know for sure but I think it's really just first come first serve. Just keep track of when this one ends and then keep an eye out for another one to start.
okay
cause im trying to redeem myself
im emberassed that i missed like a front shove and halfcab flip and stuff, ha
jakedaskater 01-27-2008, 07:56 PM i hate bigspins, but it's time to learn i guess
anyway i just got new footy!
i might post it
Stick Static 01-27-2008, 10:01 PM So I figured it out and if its due by 10 tomorrow, and in my time thats 5. I get home from school at 4. So I have from the time getting home from school till 5 to find batteries for my camera, and land my set on film. One hour.
Gotta hurry I guess. lol.
AlmostaSkater14 01-27-2008, 10:51 PM so if the tricks a bigspin, that means i can actually get this one. woohoo! hopefully you dont change your mind. i should be able to use my friends board sometime in the next few days to get a match up.
sskatess 01-28-2008, 01:29 PM its weird fakie big spins are like so easy but normal bigs are so hard. Yeah I don't know who will be running the next one.
Stick Static 01-28-2008, 04:18 PM ok i landed it real sketchy it looks like i moved the other way?? but i didnt lol optical illusion but anyway i have it my friends want me to leave to skate with them so ill upload it later it will be past the time but i gotta go lol were hittin up this great spot so please have it count lmao
sskatess 01-28-2008, 04:23 PM oki doke, it is a big flip right, if your not gonna set it exactly on time then you could tell us atleast lol.
girlsk8r 01-28-2008, 04:38 PM agreed... man i wish I weren't sick... I've got all evening to do nothing and although I'm feeling better I don't think it'd be a good idea to go and skate... guess I'll see how I feel in a few hours tho
AlmostaSkater14 01-28-2008, 05:47 PM well didnt he say before that its a fakie bigspin? or was i reading something wrong? if its a bigflip, then im screwed.
jakedaskater 01-28-2008, 05:53 PM a regular bigflip seems too hard for this round
girlsk8r 01-28-2008, 06:10 PM I think it's supposed to be a regular big spin. That's what he was talking about wanting to film for his set yesterday. Yeah a bigflip seems way to hard for this round.
AlmostaSkater14 01-28-2008, 06:12 PM yeah i was thinking that also.
my problem with every flipping trick, like 360 flips, is getting my backfoot in the air. if i jumped more i would land alot more and be alot better. anybody have any tips on how to jump more or something?
im not even sure if i can get a regular bigspin.
Berishman 01-28-2008, 06:17 PM ^haha jump more?
lol
what i did when i first learned my 360 flips was this:
i got two of those little step ladder things, and put one on each side of me, then i would do the flip and use my upper body strength to support myself and stay in the air, so i kind of hovered while the board was flipping.
It doesn't actually help you JUMP higher, it just sort of proves to your brain that it IS possible, and then after that you just sort of mentally understand how the trick works, and how high you need to jump to get it, then i guess your subconscious mind is all:
"Oh,. NOW I get that S**T, damn."
and then you land bolts. haha
hope no one minds if i continue to post in this thread?
girlsk8r 01-28-2008, 06:20 PM ^^ exactly that. Just jump more. :) A lot of it is commitment. I used to have the same problem with kickflips. I'd get a great pop and good rotation but my backfoot wouldn't really leave the ground. I just had to commit and lean forward more. I kept leaning back and so all my weight was over my backfoot making it harder to lift it too.

hope no one minds if i continue to post in this thread? That's a good idea. I sometimes hang on to a railing when trying tricks and that does help. I might have to try this step ladder thing though. :) It's so true too that you just have to program your mind on how to do the trick and convince youself that it is possible.
strawhat5 01-28-2008, 07:29 PM this looks like a ton of fun, i cant wait till the next one starts :)
Stick Static 01-28-2008, 10:34 PM ok its up. God it is horrible. I'm terribly sorry, I just straight up stop and then pivot around, sorry about that. If I had time to get a lclean rollaway I would have continued filming, but my friends were eager to go (they're the tall guy tying his shoes on the step, and the short kid who tries to varial heel)
Good news for you guys though, this crappy set means I will be accepting crappy matches! As long as you don't roll completely backwards, lol. If you end up like me, its fine. And if you get it cleaner, I'll give you a lil rep ;) lol
Maybe I should go refilm even though its already time-up i just feel bad.
AlmostaSkater14 01-28-2008, 10:53 PM to berish, i dont think anybody cares if you stay. the more the merrier. but yeah i think it has to do with the confidence. or whatever. because i do the flip perfectly. like it looks soo good. like how it looks in like the game Skate. but lower to the ground. same with fakie. but ill try that stepladder thing. because its my backfoot thats the problem. it just stays on the floor sort of.
oh and stick static, the video says that its being processed in a long line of videos. what was the trick?
jakedaskater 01-29-2008, 07:18 AM i don't think that set counts
you rolled the wrong way, then turned so you could roll away
sskatess 01-29-2008, 11:52 AM i meant spin sorry, lol but im looking at the match now and... nah im sorry but that can't count you didn't roll away in the right direction till you turned completely around :(. So i suppose that is a letter alright? unless you think otherwise.
That would mean it is now almostaskater's set again. You have until 31st 10pm GMT
Berishman 01-29-2008, 12:01 PM ^yeah, that rollaway was.....
but haha, its not my choice. lol
and i cant right now, but i am going to rep you for that injury thing, it looks hilarious. lol
sskatess 01-29-2008, 01:18 PM also as you can probably tell i used MS paint without copying or pasting to create that damn fine lol 31
AlmostaSkater14 01-29-2008, 08:40 PM holy crap am i happy that didnt count. i probably would have gotten a letter on that. but now i need to find some way to make a set. without having a board. this is gunna be a toughie.
girlsk8r 01-30-2008, 06:48 PM So any ideas on what the set is going to be? Or are you even going to be able to set with the board issue??
AlmostaSkater14 01-30-2008, 08:15 PM i should be able to set. just gotta use a friends. i was gunna do a bs 180 pivot 180. so a bs 360 with a pivot. if im allowed to do that..
sskatess 01-31-2008, 11:12 AM yeahhhh of course i love them, haven't done one in ages but yeah.
AlmostaSkater14 01-31-2008, 05:10 PM i dont think im going to be able to set that now. my friends board is weird for me. ill try it a few but if i cant do it then i wont. otherwise ill end up just doing a fs shove. really boring and easy, but i cant do much else. ill try to do like a fs shove bs body varial. but never done it.
sskatess 01-31-2008, 05:13 PM try it lol a fs shove is borrring
AlmostaSkater14 01-31-2008, 05:17 PM i know its really boring. but i have to get the set in today right? so im not so sure what im gunna be able to do.
girlsk8r 01-31-2008, 08:46 PM ^^^Isn't time up?? It's almost 2am in England so if we're playing by skates timezone then it would be, right? Maybe I'm wrong. Just curious.
Skate1PlanB 01-31-2008, 08:53 PM yeah i think times up
AlmostaSkater14 01-31-2008, 10:42 PM well if its now and i cant get an extension or anything then i guess so. didnt have anything i could use today. the one person who had a board i could use wasnt home at all. he was at his dads house so i couldnt use it. so there wasnt any way for me to set. i was supposed to be taking my friends extra setup from his locker in school. but he decided that he doesnt want me too. then he said that he wants to take it home and give it to me when we skate and then take it back when we finish. i dont know why. the kids kinda dumb. but yeah if i can get another day or something i can get it.
sskatess 02-01-2008, 11:19 AM sorry but you should really ask for an extension if you are going to need one and not just not set. I don't know what this puts you on (ill check my sig), but i think it means it's my set, and to be set by the 3rd 10pm GMT
girlsk8r 02-01-2008, 11:55 AM wow it's probably going to get hard now with just 5 people if AlmostaSkater is out for sure and with skates and jake not having any letters. I've got a snow day today so if you feel up to setting early I got all day to practice :-D
^^i know i ain't in this game but just wanted to say i gots a snow day as well.
hahaha
BEEEYAHH!
girlsk8r 02-01-2008, 01:28 PM woo hoo. YAY for snow days!!! :)
jakedaskater 02-01-2008, 04:27 PM man it doesn't snow in louisiana
wo what are you thinking to set sskatess?
or is it a secret?
girlsk8r 02-01-2008, 04:41 PM it's already on youtube I think... we talked a little bit earlier but he hasn't set it yet so I dunno if that's what it is for certain.
AlmostaSkater14 02-01-2008, 05:29 PM ok well then i guess im out then. but we got no snow. it was all rain. whenever it rains alot its not cold enough to snow. and whenever it doesnt alot, it does snow. its pretty gay.
sskatess 02-02-2008, 02:19 PM yeah easy set but i wanted to get the game moving fast for the first time in ageeeeees. yeah they said it would snow yesterday, but it didn't :(
current standings i think:

changing the scores also lead to a new improved "injury lol!"
Berishman 02-02-2008, 02:51 PM ^lol, its much prettier now. haha
stupid crutches.
stupid ankle(s).
Skate1PlanB 02-02-2008, 05:42 PM lol yeah right easy trick this was so hard to try...
im going to upload my attempts haha
there is like 2 that i thought were pretty darn close
but i donno if they would count or not haha
i put there thumbs down anyways ;)
sskatess 02-03-2008, 04:52 AM damn i accidentally deleted my post. lol.
what i said was you are so close, the first one was better than the second but the rollaway was a bit short. With a bit more speed, which will be hard with the room you have, you could easily get a better one.
what do others think?
girlsk8r 02-03-2008, 07:10 AM the first one looked good except the rollaway like skates said. It kind of looked like you lost your balance and had to just off but then that could have been because you didn't want to run into the pile of snow. If you could get a little cleaner rollaway then I think it'd be great. Props though because I haven't even come close to getting one yet. :)
jakedaskater 02-03-2008, 12:27 PM i just put my match up
everybody should go watch it because there is a bail
sskatess 02-03-2008, 12:32 PM haha if you pause it at one particular moment you look as if you are doing jazz hands on one leg.
jakedaskater 02-03-2008, 12:58 PM haha
i just paused it and saw that
cool
Skate1PlanB 02-03-2008, 02:49 PM okay yeah i did lose my balance a bit haha took me forever tho
i was like oh god i hope this is it...but k ill try and get a new one today
jakedaskater 02-04-2008, 06:07 PM this game is so slow
Berishman 02-04-2008, 06:18 PM ^no kidding. haha
jakedaskater 02-04-2008, 06:22 PM i want another challenging set like the pop shuve sex change cross foot
that thing was harrrrddd
lemons7 02-04-2008, 07:46 PM Frick. I was thinking about joining bgos to get a feel for how things roll in them (First online gos), and I think I would've had a good time in this one. ;___; Next one then!
girlsk8r 02-04-2008, 08:09 PM well give me an "A" for this round. I cannot coordinate my body to do a BS cab for anything. I look like it's the first time I've stepped on a skateboard when I try them.
i want another challenging set like the pop shuve sex change cross foot
that thing was harrrrddd
haha glad you liked it. ;) Well it's my set next so I'll try to give ya something challenging again. :) I'll see if I can come up with something creative again.
Skate1PlanB 02-05-2008, 10:27 AM i cant i have school

7evenUp 02-05-2008, 01:54 PM this game is so slow
dude, look at Ngos, nobody is out yet, and not even everybody got to set.
jakedaskater 02-05-2008, 02:00 PM dude, look at Ngos, nobody is out yet, and not even everybody got to set.
i didn't say it was the slowest, just that it was slow
sskatess 02-05-2008, 02:29 PM It did used to be faster i supposed, but now we don't post as much here :(
Skate1PlanB 02-05-2008, 06:06 PM k well i didnt have an explanation i had to make it short cause my keyboard
broke and so i had to copy paste the letters, but anyways its like snowing big time
i can take a video if you want to see it...lol
Berishman 02-05-2008, 06:37 PM k well i didnt have an explanation i had to make it short cause my keyboard
broke and so i had to copy paste the letters, but anyways its like snowing big time
i can take a video if you want to see it...lolbahah maybe try to snowboard the match..or is it a set?
It did used to be faster i supposed, but now we don't post as much here :(haha, its slower because i'm out now. lol
you know Berishman, post post post. haha
jakedaskater 02-05-2008, 08:50 PM i did my first downrail two days ago
girlsk8r 02-05-2008, 11:09 PM hmm I just learned hospital flips stationary today. Those are in the running for my set if I can get them rolling in time. I tried them rolling a couple times but really screwed up one and landed bad on my wrists so I gave up on the rolling for today.
Skate1PlanB 02-06-2008, 01:26 PM aww this sucks so bad haha i was so close :(
its been a snowday and they said the weather will be
bad all week so i dont know what im going to do
sskatess 02-06-2008, 01:36 PM have you got anywhere indoors like a garage or something?
Skate1PlanB 02-06-2008, 03:25 PM nope :(..our garage is filled with a bunch of junk
and everywhere in the house is carpet except for
kitchen and theres no room there lol
girlsk8r 02-06-2008, 07:07 PM ^^ahh that stinks... Hopefully the snow will let up for awhile and you can still play.
sskatess 02-07-2008, 03:55 PM y'know you only have 11 hours left to set. jsut a reminder.
gahr i hate hospital flips. I can now do them properly but still badly.
7evenUp 02-07-2008, 04:14 PM y'know you only have 11 hours left to set. jsut a reminder.
gahr i hate hospital flips. I can now do them properly but still badly.
haha, hospital flips are my most consistent trick... all of them, switch, nollie regular, fakie, kickflip direction and heelflip ones, haha... and finally late flipped ones! lol...
sskatess 02-07-2008, 04:42 PM haha, hospital flips are my most consistent trick... all of them, switch, nollie regular, fakie, kickflip direction and heelflip ones, haha... and finally late flipped ones! lol...
lol i don't mind other variations such as heelflip and switch but i hate normal ones. I would much rather sw. hospital flip as opposed to a normal one.
girlsk8r 02-07-2008, 11:55 PM yeah I have one filmed but I was going to try to get a better one. I'll definitely have it posted before time is up though.
Merging doublepost
Alrighty... It's for sure a hospital flip. It's uploading right now. I'm not very happy with how it turned out because I can do them a lot better, I just didn't get a chance to refilm today and that one was the best I got from the other day. The good news for you all though is that now I'll be lenient if it's a little under rotated. It has to be at least past 90 degrees but if it's not a full 180 then that's fine.
jakedaskater 02-08-2008, 03:53 PM can i get an extension until monday night?
i'll be in houston all weekend and have no time to film my match
Skate1PlanB 02-08-2008, 06:48 PM k i might need an extension, its still snowing and -42 out,
im really sorry, but if it doesnt stop snowing then ill just
take the letter, like its been a snow day all week pretty much
girlsk8r 02-08-2008, 11:05 PM ^^^wow that's crazy! Expecially the -42 out. You probably shouldn't even be out in that if it does stop snowing. I hope it gets better for you.
sskatess 02-09-2008, 04:29 AM i have no reason like they do for not matching.. im just really bad at this trick

sskatess 02-10-2008, 05:18 PM I'm so bad at this i landed a few but they deleted off my camera which is pretty much broken. good news for me is i ordered a new camera so yay, much better quality.
girlsk8r 02-10-2008, 05:36 PM ^^ohhh that stinks. Yesterday I went to my old high school to skate on the tennis courts and both batteries I had for my camera died in about a minute each! So I wasn't able to get any footy and I was having a pretty good session.

sskatess 02-11-2008, 11:27 AM well i know jake is away right now but will be back, skate1 has weather issues but they should go away and i have camera issues but im getting a new one, however long that will take.

Does the next BGOS game starts when this one is over? I want to get in on one. Thanks

Alright, got my answers :) ..

argh i can sw. fs flip (if landed twice counts) but not normal lol.
Skate1PlanB 02-16-2008, 05:05 PM k im out, im not up for it lol
in the summer it will be funner but
right now its to much of a hassle
girlsk8r 02-16-2008, 05:30 PM i just tried it today. I can get the rotation and flip but can't stay over the board very well. I think there's still a couple days left though. :)
sskatess 02-16-2008, 05:39 PM k im out, im not up for it lol
in the summer it will be funner but
right now its to much of a hassle
you sure? your doing pretty well, it'd be ashame, but good game, top half, oh and i meant 4 not 5
i just tried it today. I can get the rotation and flip but can't stay over the board very well. I think there's still a couple days left though. :)
i do that too a lot but now i can get some like 120 degree ones, getting closer each day, I'll have it tomorrow.
final 3 now for some really painfully annoying sets hopefully, except the ones that aren't mine lol.
girlsk8r 02-16-2008, 08:11 PM ^^^haha yeah I have a feeling I'll be out pretty quick now especially if I can't pull off this fs flip, but I'm pretty happy to be in the top 3 for a being a girl and only skating about 7 months. :)
Super Mario 02-16-2008, 08:25 PM I should join the next one of these, that is if I somehow manage to get money for a new laptop.

i wanna join one
Skate1PlanB 02-16-2008, 09:59 PM yeah i lost like 3 letters to the snow
and so im just going to join the next one
its to much work and effort lol, i shovel a
huge pile and its snowing at same time
then i go next day big pile again
jakedaskater 02-16-2008, 10:01 PM i havn't skated in a few days

you get to appreciate the finer things in life, like the colour of the sky?
but more importantly you getting a new board lol.
jakedaskater 02-17-2008, 10:25 PM i don't think your match counts sskatess
girlsk8r 02-17-2008, 11:30 PM ^^^yeah I can't do any better right now, but I was thinking the same thing.
sskatess 02-18-2008, 08:31 AM i don't think your match counts sskatess

what kind of camera are you gettin? a camcorder? i just ordered me a kenko fisheye, yay
sskatess 02-18-2008, 10:47 AM what kind of camera are you gettin? a camcorder? i just ordered me a kenko fisheye, yay
same one as you actually lol. plus have some rep for the haslam flip.
how much did the fisheye cost
7evenUp 02-18-2008, 10:50 AM 60 euro with the adapter ring thingy so it fits on the 27 mm thread and mailing cost included... i bought it off ebay germany though, so you'll need to find it somewhere else...
sskatess 02-18-2008, 04:32 PM ahh that's pretty cheap.
sets up
pressure flip body varial
btw the rep, 7evenup, was for the haslam flip saw it and forgot to rep you in the thread.
jakedaskater 02-18-2008, 04:36 PM you have sk sskatess
sskatess 02-18-2008, 04:38 PM you have sk sskatess
calm down lol i haven't updated my sig at all yet, ill do that in like 5 mins.
emily also needs a T and you need to match by 21st 8pm

i was just letting you know
sskatess 02-18-2008, 04:52 PM i was just letting you know
no problem, how do you think you will get on with this trick?
BTW in my sig it should say 8 pm
ah nvm ill change it
girlsk8r 02-21-2008, 07:45 AM well... unless I get a snow day tomorrow and get to practice some more and magically land one of these, then I think I'm out. I've got the flip and the body varial and a one foot land but just can't get both feet on the board. It's quite frustrating. Oh well. It was a good game and I'm happy to finish in the top 3.

in the rules it says if you miss a set you're out

i dunno why i thought i would be out
but anyway i've missed two sets and a match, so you pretty much win

i'm out
in the rules it says if you miss a set you're out
I believe you get a letter if you miss a set, but that would give you an E so you are indeed correct.
At least when I played you only got a letter...
jakedaskater 03-05-2008, 07:37 PM No i read the official rules made when the games started
i'm removed from the game

sskatess 03-06-2008, 11:56 AM I believe you get a letter if you miss a set, but that would give you an E so you are indeed correct.
At least when I played you only got a letter...
know he would only be on SKAT as i already lettered him for not setting, even i didn't know that rule. And that hasn't been followed throughout this game. So your still in, unless you don't want to be.
sskatess 03-07-2008, 04:24 PM wait no my mistake i think i do win.
good game yeah. congrats for second.
EDIT: darn didly it did not merge posts

Preston951 03-15-2008, 02:26 PM shouldnt this thread be closed?
