All Discussion goes in here, and not the tricks thread!!

Advanced Game of SKATE - Where anything goes, all technical welcome, and not for the weak of tricks and players

Anyone signing up, already know the rules but here's a reminder of the game rules, so read carefully.

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 “Eastern (US & Canada)” time zone, so all tricks much be matched and set by the time stated in Eastern Time.

8. When you match or set a trick, post it up in the thread called “Advance 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.

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

My hat hates me, 3 game in a row last to set :( (oh well, lol)

ALRIGHT! LET'S GET IT ON!
Sonix, your on the clock, and you have 2 days to Set starting today...
Set due Wednesday January 2nd 6pm

Woo, second to set, rad :icon_joy: Can't wait for Sonix's trick to have something to grind my teeth on.

'It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... And I'm all out of gum' :cool:

Gah, this always happens, where i have to match at least one trick to get a chance to set, hopefully i can although it is a strong line up.

Good luck everyone :)

Pathtek i suggest you buy a new hat ;)

WOOHOO FIRST SET
I LOVE YOU Pathtek4

it'll be up in a moment.

^^ What, you already have something filmed? :)

Yea, I filmed it yesterday incase I would be one of the first setters as I won't skate for few days now. New year + lots and lots of snow.


edit: its up now.
its a frontside anti-bigspin flip

Rad trick, I'm going to go skate right now to see if I can do them without even knowing it, hahaha.

This will be a good set, i know i could get it fakie not sure about normal stanced though.

Woah MRCK, your rep gave me like 2-3 bars :D
Anyway, is anyone doing a movie on this one? If you want, I can make it but my editing skills are, well... crap.

Very nice set bro...Everyone, match due by friday...You can always check my sig too (I got it going on here :p)

Very nice Sonix! never tried it, but i think i have a slight chance of matching. Can i get an extension until the 8th? That would give me 2 days of attempts which is enough

^Dude, I already got you covered bro...Have fun on Vacation, you'll get your time...I just appreciate it when people let me know of these in advance, so your WAY in the clear, don't worry about it...Be safe!

Yay ! :icon_joy: I learned the trick today (which turned out to be way more fun to practice than I originally expected), I had forgotten to charge my camera's batteries though so I couldn't film anything... which only calls for an early morning sesh tomorrow :) I'm stoked because I didn't think I would learn this trick that fast, and it feels really cool to do, thanks a lot for setting it.

Yea, actually its really easy. I landed it in about 15-20 tries lol.
The first one was actually my first one in my life :D

I think someone set that in a BGOS before, they were a fun trick to learn. Good job sonix!

Never tried these before. Time to get started :D

I hate you bastard.(J/K)

I would rep you, but I have to spread it. I'll go try it right now by the way.

Phew. Just went out right now and "learned" it. I can do it almost every time either stepping off or with one foot, and about every five I get it underrotated by a bit. I want my first match in this game to be clean so I'll go out again in a few minutes and land it cleanly :D

Super fun trick! I'm glad its not some incredibly annoying trick and upon landing you state, "Unless I ever end up on a hippy bus to ars with a walrus riding shotgun, I will never EVER try this trick again." I'm sure there will be more than one of those in this game for me :D

Woah MRCK, your rep gave me like 2-3 bars :D

Pathtek i suggest you buy a new hat ;)
Don't complain lol. I have to survive 2! Feel sorry for Pathtek. He's gonna be doing a lot of footwork to set :D

Mike, I want a video of you drawing names out of the hat, there is no way you are last 3 times in a row, I did the same thing, just put everyone in a hat and draw, but then put myself last, lol, then there's no chance of cheating!


Also, sick trick, I assumed everyone would get a letter, it looks too amazing, but everyone says it's easier than it looks, maybe when I get better I'll give these a shot

Don't forget the super fun-ness! lol.

I landed a couple of these on tape but the roll away is a bit messed. I'm uploading them now and they should be in the trick section in a few minutes.

Heh, sorry to have to be the party pooper once again but I don't think your match can count Royalgriffin, as it was slightly underrotated and you had to tick tack to roll away, which is the hardest part of the trick (I landed like 30 similar ones before getting my first 'good' ones today), pain in the neck I know, but I wouldn't count it as a make.

Also while I'm at it I would like to remind everyone that we're playing a strict game in which there's no such thing as a 'maybe' :)

I accidentally responded in the video vault, but okey okey. I'm heading outside now to try to get roll away.

EDIT: ow.....ow.....ow....
Just came back in. The board is definetely "rolling away" now, right from under me and I keep slipping or it hits my shin....

sweet trick, never tried it before

and for you qtip
What direction is the shove-it in, and which foot does the flippage?
its a nollie 360 b/s shove with the late flips after the first shove, with the back foot... so technically nollie shove late hard double flip... but that makes it sound more tech than it is so i like nollie 360 shove late double flip

My brain just exploded. It looks like it would be easier if it were a nollie bs bigspin instead, I can't imagine getting the late flip and having it keep spinning.

Yea that shouldn't count because you didn't get the roll. Thats basicly only hard part about the trick :D
You still have 3 or 4 days, so you should get it.

Just like MRCK said, its easy to land without roll away. I've done it aproximately 15 times or so just like that. Every time I start to roll away I slip off and my board goes flying. Its developing a nice little(giant) crack on the tail now...

I bet you later in the game some incredibly hard trick will be set and someone else will do that same thing I did and it will count. Not saying anything against anyone, but I predict it :icon_clap

Well we're playing a strict game now, but if it has happened in the past it's probably due to the fact that each trick has its own difficulty, and in the context of a newly-learned one in a given deadline the weakest imperfections are often overlooked, for instance some tricks are hard to flip right yet easy to land well, while some others are easy to flip right yet a pain in the neck to land well (and antibigspin variations belong there :)), all in all the trick has to be 'done right' and its main difficulty has to be mastered if you want to call it a make. For instance you won't count a kickflip caught and landed with just the back foot as a make, just like you can't count a 90° big spin flip as a make, you know what I mean.

At least if you've landed it a few times and shot out it means that you're on the right track, try putting more of your weight on the other foot maybe ;)

I guess that makes sense. I still have 3 days to try it. Maybe the fact that I can't do sexchanges cleanly plays a part :D. Nah, I think its probably just that little roll away thing. Maybe the New Year will bring a miracle. Beside you and me, who else is getting close/learned it?

I landed one much like yours, I didn't bother uploading it though. I'll probably film one either tomorrow or the next day.

****, everyone's landing this thing! What tricks should one be able to do in order to make this easier?

Hmm I don't know but I suck at frontside flips, I can only do them pivot/revert style, except if I really do my best. My hard flips are pretty consistant and kickflip fs body varial ... i find them pretty easy.

I still have 3 days to try it. Maybe the fact that I can't do sexchanges cleanly plays a part :D.

I'm sure that you will eventually get a good match, and maybe even learn sex changes from this set (hopefully not the credit-carding way), after a good amount of tries today I changed my approch to this trick from 'frontside flip + body varial' to 'frontside ollie + kickflip body varial' (yeah that's how I break down such tricks :icon_goog) and it helped me for some reason, the 'fs flip + body varial' conception would result in me spinning the full thing in the air but landing stationary just like you do, where as the 'frontside + kickflip body varial' way to look at things gave me enough confidence to land with my weight on the back truck and pivot / slide the last degrees of the rotation, which allows to roll away nicely.

Such tricks are like real-life equations :icon_susp

Robby : without a doubt, frontside flips and kickflip fs body varials (shifty flips may slightly help). No-comply fs antibigspins also may be a good way to get a first feel of how it works.

Wow MRCK... now that I think, I think mine are FS flips with body varial. Didn't try other one.

Oh wow. That makes so much more sense. I may even crank up the old icicle lights and try it tonight. Woh. Just the thought of it is easier. If I land it because you said that, you get + rep.

This actually looks like a pretty fun trick. I´ve tried kickflip 360 body varials but never fs flip body varials.............Nice first set!

It definitely is, I had a blast practicing it today, it's now 2:30 AM and I can't wait until tomorrow (which technically would now be 'today' but you get the idea) to go get a match on film, I never thought it would be that much of a fun trick to do when I first saw the set (my thoughts were more like 'crap... I'm never going to get even close to this <bag:)'), it should be a great one for banks too.

Hah, I'm leaving this to your hands. Unless you don't want to make it. I'll make one.

My friend Collin plays a great demoniac....lol. He acts like that in real life all day anyway, hes kinda a wacko. :tongue:

I'll try to make it. Is it possible to take videos off of vimeo? I've never tried. BTW-I think I'll start now by picking up your set from youtube.

Man I just read through all of the GOS8 discussion thread, good memories. I'm about to watch the video now too.
PS: I think you should let Roboman join. I know that the rules say that no changes should be made after the game starts, but he has been faithful many Games of Skate, and he did make the videos. Plus we are still on the first set.

Hah allthought I didn't play in GOS 8 and 7, I've read the discussion threads, lol

edit:

"1. Sonix - Match "frontside anti-bigspin flip" by Friday Jan. 4th 6pm est"
4 days to match right?
I set at 1:58PM, lets say 2:00PM - this is my time.EST is -6hours from my time so it would be 8AM. now 4 days from that day. first the 16 hours to 1.1.2007, this leaves us with 96-16 = 80hours, which is 3days and 8hours, so that should be 3rd Jan. by 8AM

I might be completely wrong here.

This should be right if you have to match in 4days from the time I set.

Thanks, but I don't think I can hold up to this standard. Plus I have no skateboard, its always too hot, I have way too much else on, my shoes are pretty much dead, and right now I'm not finding technical tricks fun at all either - I've gone back to getting my 180 ollies better and rolling everywhere switch.

Despite all that I considered it a bit... especially because I've pretty much landed that trick that atrain posted haha (except I don't add the flips in so late so it looks more like a nollie 360 double heel, only landed 3 though)... But yeah, I wouldn't want to join.

Alright man, I just thought it would be pretty lame if you wanted to join but couldn't just because you missed the sign-ups. Just out of curiosity, you gonna be editing the video?

Which video?

He probably means for this GoS. I doubt he will. He isn't even in this one :o

I'm pretty sure he means the video for this GOS, I can try it myself if you have better things to do and everyone else is fine with it though :)

Anyway I just got back from my depressing parking lot and got this one : http://media.putfile.com/fs-antibigspin-flip do you think it looks good enough to count or would I need to refilm a better one ? It felt smooth when I did it but now that I look at the footage I find it a tad cheap, I probably should have taken the time to film another one before I left, I'll try to get a better one tomorrow anyway.

yea, i got a S on this one

Just because you are MRCK I would let it slide, but I don't think it counts. Maybe ask around.

I finally landed one with roll away!!! It will be up in the tricks section shortly.
This should count, right?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=WsQeCw2d2B8

Yup countage, congrats :)

Also yeah I would feel quite bad if that... thing I posted above counted to be honest, I know I can do better ones, I'll get a smoother one on film tomorrow.

I strongly say no because it's only like a kickflip fs body varial to fast pivot rather than the whole trick in air as done, he set it without pivot, you should match without pivot, otherwise people in learners game of skate can do ollie 180s and people could just powerslide them. Like your ollie 360 in GOS10 has to be full rotation, no pivot, you specifically said that, I think that should go on all tricks unless the setter does so himself. (Not picking on you MRCK, I'm singling you out because we all know you can get the full rotation)

The man makes an interesting point.

I did spin 90 degrees in the air though, but I get your point and I agree with you, to the following extent : I thought pivots were allowed if not stated otherwise by the setter, seeing how some tricks rely on a very different technique when they're done all in the air rather than with a pivot (ie. 360 ollies) whereas it doesn't change anything for some others (ie. 360 nollies / cabs), finishing an antibigspin with a pivot seemed pretty natural to me so I didn't think it would matter, but heh whatever floats your boat. I also tend to think that powerslides like the one I did aren't as gross as ugly pivots but that's beyond the point, I actually like that rule you're coming up with and it should only make things more interesting :)

As far as this trick is concerned I can spin it all in the air indeed but then I have much more trouble riding away from it without the slide at the end, I'll have to work this out, maybe learning it on a bank could help.

Do what I did :D. I was wondering if my camera was still recording and then I looked down and I had landed it.

EDIT: By the way, I would prefer all videos on youtube, because i don't know how to get videos off of vimeo.

it's just going to make it harder and more fair, I mean, you didn't count Royal's match because of the roll away, but even though you had good roll away, it wasn't really the trick as much as 180 less then revert.

Does anyone have suggestions for the music for the game? I got 25 dollars to itunes for christmas so I can get a couple songs. As of now my entire library is filled with folk metal and swing :icon_redf :icon_clap

What kind of folk metal we talking about ;)

What kind of folk metal we talking about ;)
Well I'm not sure of the genre, but I've heard of it refered to as that. Try like falconer, dragonforce(more speed metal), Korpiklanni(not sure how to spell, its like the best band ever), Rhapsody, I like a couple Dragonland songs, stuff like that. I was really into it a few years ago, but now I listen to only a couple of the highlights. I'm kinda looking into some techno stuff now, and I've always liked swing, old and new.

I found its always better to get a more groove-oriented song. Metal is generally too fast compared to all the competitors doing slow-rolling flatground tricks. Techno works, rap probably would (although I'm not a fan). I always went for something that just rolls along, so I think swing could work very well.

Thats just my opinion, fast metal in skate videos doesn't often work well. The skater needs to be going just as fast for it to work :)

This should be right if you have to match in 4days from the time I set.


bumping this, just say something :P

Guys, any song by Fat Boy Slim works perfectly with flatground tricks. Remember, if you're going to use music, replay the trick at the end without it so that whoever edits the video can use it.

How much time do we have left exactly ? I had forgotten to charge my camera batteries again yesterday night so today I practiced the trick again but couldn't get my attempts on film, I landed one somewhat clean once out of like 50 tries, it's a pain in the neck to do without my good friend mr. Pivot. I can let my batteries charge over the night and try it again tomorrow on a smoother ground I guess, but I don't even know if I have enough time before we move on to my set.

I think you have until 2pm your time (You have central europe time right?).
I ALLOW PIVOTS/REVERTS if they are only less than 90 and done fast not those lame ass slow ones. I didn't see your match so I don't know how you did yours.

It was something to be ashamed of and now that I watch it again I kick myself in the rear-end for thinking that it could have been legit for more than one second :)

I'll have to wake up early then :tongue: But it's okay, also I had the time to get my set on film today before my batteries died on me, don't expect anything too hard, I originally had a branquignol flip in mind (switch crossfoot heelflip fs body varial to crossfoot) but I changed my mind for something more easily attainable, yet enough of a rare bird to remain interesting.

jesus, what the heck is that? You start in crossfoot, heelflip then fs body varial and land crossfoot again? That's like eating spaghetti with feet.

Well both situation have to stink big time (pun, pun :icon_eyeb).
Here's a sketchy one : http://media.putfile.com/branquignol-flip awkward trick but surprisingly attainable, it's almost like a kickflip crossfoot with a funny foot positioning.

My actual set will be less awkward and more fun :)

How much time do i have left, i just got my new trucks put on this morning and planning on going match this today.

I set at 2pm my time 3days ago. its 7pm now and till 2pm there are 19hours left.
You still have enough time to try

ok cool, i have until 7 am tomorrow, and its only noon right now

I have this feeling of being safe, but preparing to go into danger again when MRCK sets. lol

EDIT: Bragquignol? Do you WTH people like find a trick with no name, blindfold yourselves, spin in cirlces, and randomly poke your finger at some wacky word? haha. Really. What does that even mean?

look at the frst page

Match "frontside anti-bigspin flip" by Friday Jan. 4th 6pm est

the time for matches started when your set was due, not necessarily when you actually posted. so theres actually extra time since you posted your set early

the time for matches started when your set was due, not necessarily when you actually posted. so theres actually extra time since you posted your set early
I think its the other way. I think matching time starts as soon as he sets. Or else everyone would just wait until the very last second to set.

EDIT: Bragquignol? Do you WTH people like find a trick with no name, blindfold yourselves, spin in cirlces, and randomly poke your finger at some wacky word? haha. Really. What does that even mean?

Branquignol is an old french word for fool, the name of the trick itself actually has a long story behind it so it's only half random, however it definitely is stupid which is the way I like my tricks :icon_goog

Cool. I figured it meant something, but didn't know what.

Ok, I am VERY pissed right now.

I go outside, LANDED it (first time ever)

Trying to publish it with WMM and everytime i his PUBLISH it freezes and shuts down

i DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO?!!!

skatermccrank, sorry but I don't think your match can count, since you're lacking the hardest part of the trick everyone has been struggling on, the clean rollaway :D (Royalgriffin's original match had the same problem). If you landed this on your first go ever you probably won't have to sweat it too much to get a cleaner one though, good luck.

Window Movie Maker sucks, but I found out something useful.

If it's freezing up, just hit ctrl+s asap so it auto-saves, then it'll save and be fine, not frozen up anymore. Hope that helps :)

Yea, its really unfair if you have 4 days to match from the time my sets deadline. If I knew that, I would set the last minute.

Is it up to Sonix if the match counts, because I think its a close call.

Hmm. I'm sorry to say this but its like Royalgriffin's first match. You didn't roll away and pivoted fast.

I think you have until 2pm your time (You have central europe time right?).
I ALLOW PIVOTS/REVERTS if they are only less than 90 and done fast not those lame ass slow ones. I didn't see your match so I don't know how you did yours.

well if you stand by your word then mine should count

well if you stand by your word then mine should count
Don't be like that, don't put him on the spot making him feel like a jerk until he says it counts, he said less than 90 degree pivot that was SMOOTH.

I do but, there are difference between caught and pivoted or reverted after land and pivot/revert without roll so that you don't put your foot down and so that you move.

yeah, I just watched it and you landed with 4, lifted 2 up, then moved it, I say either land on 2 and pivot or land on 4 and powerslide (revert) well, I actually don't say any of that, because I'm anti the pivots/reverts in this game (that's why I'm not in it)

Yeah seriously, that wasn't even a pivot or a slide, that was a 90-degree-land-to-tick-tack-away, I'm sure you could do a better one though (and hopefully I will get one on film tomorrow morning too :)).

I think pivot/reverts aren't allowed if he sets without. I just allowed that at my set.

ok, i'm not gonna go through the trouble of trying agin, it wont happen. i'll just take the letter on this one

You might still have some time. It depends on the rules if the match time starts from when I post my set or from my set deadline.

Well, I just went out and tried, LANDED, but same land as before.

I give up and take the letter (nice set Sonix)

and to everyone else, sorry for being a ****

my Year has been the worst of my life so far and i've just been cranky for a couple days now

hmmm. i thought the 4 days starts from the time he posts his set. i think thats right.

Yah, sorry skatermccrank. Thats the hard part of the trick. Try it a few more times and you might get lucky like me.

hmmm. i thought the 4 days starts from the time he posts his set. i think thats right.
Yah, pretty sure thats it.

I landed three today. The first one was crap, the second one had a perfect roll away, just that it was in the wrong direction (wtf laws of motion?) the third one I had to tic tac to get speed.

^^ sweetness but i think matching time is over.

Matching time is up January 4th, 6PM in Pathtek's sig.

^yup 4 days to match and he set on the 31st so pathtek is right.

good call guys, but most likely i will still just take the letter because i dont think it will get any better than my first one

How does that work when like you go to do a trick and when u land u start going backwards?

^ lol. it happens on some tricks i guess, usually when you under rotate it. people do it with 360 flips a lot when they are first learning them. haha kinda weird how it happens.

I always used toroll away regular on bigspins...lol

LOL! Me too, I use to be like, wtf?

I used to not rollaway on bigspins but I just got reg and switch bs. Bigspins good after some practice.

Here is a little test I did for the intro of the GOS. What do you guys think? I filled out the SKATE sheet so you could see what it looked like when people get letters.

Suggestions? Comments?

I still didn't get my answer on match time. If you have to match till 4th at 6pm your time, means thats 12pm my time which is already 5th January, how is that 4days from 31th? I set on 31th at 2pm my time, which means, 4th Jan at 6pm EST, or 12pm CET(my time) would be 5days and 10hours. How is that CLOSE to 4days?

Yea, it looks good. (Video)

Set at 12/31/07 4:58 am Pacific. 4 days from then is the 4th at 4:58 am Pacific. Eastern time is I believe 3 hours later. Wouldn't that be 1/04/08 at 7:58 am Eastern?

So that is like around 32 hours from now?

Think about it.

By my time, you set in the morning on the 31st. So its all day New Years Eve(31st), all day New Years Day, all day wednesday, and all day thursday. Then it would be due on Friday the fourth. Correct?

EDIT: Son1x, you do realize that the first was on TUESDAY, right? Its THURSDAY morning here. That's the third, not the fourth.

... ok my maths sux.

You were right.
I put 3days. My bad. But Pathtek4's sig is still wrong.
His sig says 4th Jan at 6PM. while it should be 4th Jan 8AM EST. which is still 10hours added.

Here are the two close ones from today:

Royalgriffin, that was a really nice edit. Not too into the music though. Maybe some softer techno?

RoyalGriffin, just a question.

You're only doing a video for the AGOS right?

Qtip, I wouldn't count that. You seem to have same problems as Royalgriffin had and skatermccrank has. First was one... well you did roll away, but you rolled away fakie :D And the second one, you stopped and tick tacked.
You have another day to try, you can still get it.

Oh yeah definitely, I wasn't expecting them to count, that's why I posted it in the discussion thread. I might try them again tomorrow, probably not though.

I watched the video again.
Music really isn't the best. Its ... don't know how to say, doesn't fit that much.
But I like the font and color of texts you used :D

Oh so we still have one day left ? Sweet :) It's 11:25 AM, I just got up, it's been raining like a shower over the night and I really didn't feel like going out just to try to get a match before 2 PM. Since I have a few extra hours I'll see what I can do this afternoon ;)

And I agree with Sonix, the music doesn't quite fit, the fonts are good though.

Like, I posted earlier, I'm horrible at picking music. I didn't think it fit perfectly easier. My email is Royalgriffin123@yahoo.com if anyone wants to send me music that will fit!

BTW- you guys probably like the colors because I copied an image of a skaterscafe thread into photoshop and took the basic colors :D

RoyalGriffin, just a question.

You're only doing a video for the AGOS right?
Yes. I am. You can find someone to do the others though.

EDIT: Just to let you know, the rest of my library is filled with stuff like this...http://youtube.com/watch?v=M3ZhkLUcKT8(dont actually watch the vid its annoying)
and this:http://youtube.com/watch?v=UNc0bosUyI4&feature=related

haha. Strange tastes. Other than that, all I've got it stuff like this:http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gmpmjsq8Z70 (another annoying vid)

I got rained on today :( I'll ultimately give this a few more tries tomorrow morning if the weather gets better, if it doesn't then I guess I'll just have to take a S, ah well at least I sort of learned that trick, which I wouldn't even have tried by myself, so I still earned something from this turn :)

Yes. I am. You can find someone to do the others though.

Alright :) Well I'll gladly do one for some of the others, but have no clue how to rip videos off of sites like youtube and vimeo. Do you just get people to send you the files in an email?

Maybe I should be asking this kinda stuff outside the thread so I don't spam it up... <SP:)

^ if you get everybody to post their vids on youtube, then you can download them by using www.zamzar.com

You can try zamzar. Youtube's new update glitched most of the other ones.

EDIT: Haha. Beat me to it Brett.

Do you gentlemen realize its 12 degrees outside for me right now, lol! I thought it was cold yesterday, but today was worse. I believe last year, this happened to me, a cold snap right when the game started. I'm going to give it a go at work tomorrow morning (4am mind you), and that may be my only shot, but I have the room in the building, where its a comfortable 74 degrees.

I'm going to give it a go at work tomorrow morning (4am mind you).

Jesus god, 4am? I go to sleep at that time! lol, not really but close enough.

I have snow which is lame. Nearest safe-to-put-camera-somewhere under-roof place is like 5-10min on foot. ( Can't ride there since its snow all the way)

Btw Pathtek4, isn't my set till 8AM 4th Jan?

haha, pathtek, it's around -6 Fahrenheit here, and I'm still going out and getting tricks for my game :p Stop being such a sissy!

please don't hurt me...

Also, what about vimeo and bliptv and the others? Thanks for zamzar btw :) Gonna use that for a lot more than skate vids.

Argh my dad is making me write an essay for World History, I probably won't be able to try this trick again.

Yah, I have no clue how he came up with 6pm..

today was the first time i got to try this trick unfortunately. its harder than i expected... im pretty sure i could get it switch alot easier

http://media.putfile.com/poops-14

thats one of the closest i got. oh well

the roll away is killing EVERYONE!!

That is the evil part.

I think that should count man, you retained speed and it wasn't much of a tic-tac.

Actually I think it could be counted. The only reason he "tic tacked" was because he lost balance. It looks like he would roll away if he didn't lose the balance. What do others think?

its super close but theres the lands where its the "i landed it" and the "gos landed it"....i would say thats a "i landed it" but idk. not up to me

On one side I don't think that should count ,but on the other side it is landed and "rolled away" so its hard to choose.. huh Its like choosing between cake and well another cake, lol.

I actually landed quite a lot of them like that yesterday and I don't think they should count, even though it looks somewhat smooth it's still a 270 degrees spin landed on all four wheels then ticktacked away, because it looks better than Royalgriffin's and skatermccrank's first matches doesn't make it more technically correct. Not trying to piss on anyone's bonfire or being too harsh, but that's just my honest opinion, the same thing landed on two wheels then pivoted who have definitely been good though.

I pissed on a bonfire once. Nobody wanted to roast marshmallows afterwards. :icon_frow

good point, but now i'm cold because you pissed on my bonfire:(

so is the deadline 8am like sonix says, or 6pm like it says in pathteks sig. if it's 6pm i may get another attempt, otherwise i dont! unless pathtek changes his sig im going to go off of that for now

Oh wow I thought it was 6 PM today. I might actually get to try this again.

I thought it was 6 pm today too..

Today is the third! Its due 8 am on the FOURTH! So you have about 14 hours to match.

well i would go try but its so dark and cold, 26 degrees feels like 15. ya no thanks haha

Ouch. Glad it never gets that cold in SoCal.

Ouch. Glad it never gets that cold in SoCal.

Yea, your a lucky one. Lately its been about 20-35 degrees for the high but this sunday is supposed to be 61 and sunny ;)




1500 POST!!

Ouch. Glad it never gets that cold in SoCal.
Psh, it's -20 F here overnights. :p

It's like 100 degrees here, every day. I wish it was cold.

trust me no you dont, i use to wish that during the summer. I would MUCH rather it be hot than cold

trust me no you dont, i use to wish that during the summer. I would MUCH rather it be hot than cold
Is anyone else planning on matching?

Anyone gonna give me a song for the vid?

If I have until 6 tomorrow, I'll match. If not, no.

If I have until 6 tomorrow, I'll match. If not, no.
I don't know how Pathtek came up with 6, but I think its over at 8 am.

Dang, I have one hour and a half left to match and just woke up, it's 12:27 PM here haha. I'll see if there's anything I can do for a few minutes after my lunch, or maybe I'll just take the letter and post my set I don't know. Ah well it was a good and intense set, good job Sonix :)

^Dude, you got more then that bro! In my time, its 7:30am right now, so you have 10 1/2 hours left till 6pm! Good luck, I failed miserably this morning over and over again! I had a nice revert though with a frontside flip lol

Pathtek, time finishes in 19 minutes it was set at 12:58pm GMT and it is now 12:39pm GMT.

Yeah Mike, isn't time over already now ? The set was posted exactly four days ago, where did you get the '6 PM' bit from exactly ? Everyone has been wondering over the two previous pages :icon_craz

Anyway my set is processing at this very right moment, should be up in the Tricks thread in a few minutes.

Who's hosting this game, me or you guys?? {po)
...ohhhh, haha, well then, ok, next setter :p...Mrck your up, I'll edit my sig guys

New set is up in the Tricks thread, think of it as a ollie one-foot but kick down harder on the nose, jump higher and let the board flip over between your legs, have fun :)

^What is it, cause i'm restricted from viewing it at work....

It's a forward heelflip (like a forward flip, but the board flips heelflip direction), basically I guess you could describe it as a 'ollie late nollie pressure flip all in the air'.

Are these any harder than normal forward flips? Never tried them.

Are these any harder than normal forward flips? Never tried them.

I personally find them easier (I can't do normal forward flips yet, they scare me so I never practice them :)), but I've never seen anyone else do them apart from myself, therefore I thought it would be interesting as a set, I want to see more people doing them.

I'll give it a try tomorrow. I'm in school and I will get home at around 7 or 8 :S

but I've never seen anyone else do them apart from myself
what about him? http://youtube.com/watch?v=iKj73jlydHQ

what about him? http://youtube.com/watch?v=iKj73jlydHQ

Oh yeah indeed, I saw this video a few days ago, I had forgotten about him. It's still a rare bird though, compared to its kickflip counterpart :)

It's a forward heelflip (like a forward flip, but the board flips heelflip direction), basically I guess you could describe it as a 'ollie late nollie pressure flip all in the air'.
Woh! Both of these last two sets have been awesome! Well I'm gonna give it a shot, I've done the movement on accident when not committing to double heels before, and it was easier to flip than a normal forward flip. BTW, MRCK you might not wanna go telling people in this thread your weaknesses...lol. I'll give the trick a shot when my dad gets home(and lets me go out) in a few hours and see what I can do.

Just as a question for the whole strict game thing, if it bounces off the ground as the occasional forward flip does but you still land it, does it count?

*I got a new board yesterday so this is gonna be evil :D)

EDIT: I think I'm using a mix thing of Around the World by Daft Punk, and I want to kind of list where everyone is from. I have most of them, but where does dumbdog live?

DOUBLE EDIT: NOOOOOO!!! I started raining and its supposed to keep up for like a week!

Royalgriffin, isn't your garage roofed? Don't remember good :D

Royalgriffin, isn't your garage roofed? Don't remember good :D
Yah, but when it rains it gets wet up to a certain point, so I have about 7 feet by 4 feet. If the board goes out either direction it goes out into the rain and gets messed up. Not so bad except I just got a new board!

Interesting trick. Tried it for about half an hour outside. Thankfully the drizzle didn't keep up, and I'm going to skate for as much as I can before the actual storm hits. I've got the movement consistent and I've almost landed it a few times, but most of the time the nose hits the ground right before it finishes rotating and I almost get credit carded. Thanks for setting it though, because when my foot doesnt kick out enough past the board and it sticks, I can almost do front foot impossibles. I've been wanting to learn those for awhile now...so..yah. lol.

wow, great set. this will be a tough trick im sure
the weather here is going to be into the mid and upper fifties this weekend so i should have some good time to try and learn this

I got one today where I kinda landed on the tail first then went on all four wheels. Not sure if it will count. The thing is, I'm not 100% sure that I'm doing a forward heelflip. I hang my toes off the board, but I might be doing a forward flip. I'll see what it looks like in slomo.

Wow, insane MRCK, never even THOUGHT about anyone DOING a forward heelflip. Nice job

UPDATE: Yup, definitely not a forward heelflip.

I managed to actually get fairly close before the rain swallowed my poor little patio. I'm uploading a vid of a couple close attempts now. My last one looks kinda like a varial heel but then it circles over. Does that sort of roation count as a forward heelflip or more like a messed up varial heel?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jU9ZXfrfq2M
EVIL RAIN!!!!

The last one would be a varial heelflip, the first two would definitely count though, they look even more solid than my own :)

ah! forward heelflip! man i want to skate. bad vacation timing haha.

w00t 1500th post!

The last one would be a varial heelflip, the first two would definitely count though, they look even more solid than my own :)
Okey doke. I cut the vids, but I kinda like "OOOOOOOOOOOOO" after those two, because I know if I had committed it would have been mine.

On a happier note, the wind seems to have stopped and there is still a small space on my patio for tricks.

Ya any tip on this one? I always do a ollie, or just a heelflip and i DONT KNOW WHY!!!

Start almost like a front foot impossible, but then flick past the board as it stars to spin.

Kinda like a forward flip but heeflip?

Kinda like a forward flip but heeflip?
Haha. Lol. duh.

I would recommend setting up as you would for a ollie one-foot, kicking down as hard as possible on the nose while flicking past the board and focusing on letting it go between your legs and flip upside-down, focus on the vertical bit instead of the heelflip bit itself and it should come together eventually.

Just a suggestion on the video. If you're gonna introduce everyone with their location, then I suggest doing it equally. You've introduced everyone outside the USA as being part of their country, and within the USA as part of their state.

I think its all right. I'm fine with "Slovenia".
Tried this trick today, wasn't close :S. But I only tried for few minutes. But! 360 kiwiflips, which I learned today, made up for that :D

Also I don't think the whole intro part is needed.

Well yeah, but Slovenia is a country, I was suggesting introducing anyone from the USA as being from the USA, not from Ohio, or California.

O
My
God

Forward Heelflip

If somebody says "California", most people know it's in the USA. How many states/provinces do you know in Slovenia or Dominican Republic?

Royalgriffin, would you mind if I gave the editing of the final video a try as well, by working on my own version of it ? Not that I dislike yours because I really think you're doing a remarkably sweet job so far, it's just that I suggested to give it a try too a few pages back and noone replied, and I would like to see what I can do.

@ Qtip:

...7?

*goes to search things up on google*

Sure. I'm sure you can do a better job than me anyway :icon_redf , but I'll keep editing mine too.

@anyone who doesn't like the whole state thing, the United States of America is a big country and everyone pretty much knows that California is in America and that Ohio and California are pretty separate. Its like instead of putting France and Britain, I just put Europe. (a bad analogy, but it doesn't all have to be divided by country. I'm just trying to show the different locations everyone is at.

I don't think the whole intro part is needed.
I just figured it would be an extra touch. Plus it matches with the song.

Also, there are 3 storms that are coming in my area. We just got past #1 and we have a dry point before #2 comes. I'll hopefully be able to get a match now.

The intro is a bit unneccesary. Rather, it's just a bit long.

Meh, just my input on the states thing, no one said you needed to use it.

it definitely looks good royal but I'm not too fond of the intro also.

Can we stop worrying about the video at this point? Lets just play the game for now.

^^^ agreed

tried today, go close on one attempt

I don't get this trick. I got a close one by trying a varial heel but smacking it down, but usually I just do a really high ollie that flings out.

I don't get this trick. I got a close one by trying a varial heel but smacking it down, but usually I just do a really high ollie that flings out.

Ya, I just came in from trying, I either do an ollie or I just fly way above my board. No clue on how to do this. Looks like another letter for me, I probably won't even get to set. lol

f*** this trick! lol. the board always just flies up and smacks me in the shin or just lands right on the nose. this trick isnt worth ruining my shins or my board, so im done with it haha... two letters on the first two tricks is unfortunate so instead i filmed some potential sets today, one of them completely new and pretty darn interesting hehehe :tongue:

I might just cut the first part of the song then, guys, because the first part of the song is kinda boring. But enough of that.

It just started raining here again. I can flip the board over consistently, and each time I go out I'm getting closer. I landed one perfectly but then my back foot kinda slipped off. I've landed a few with one foot and the other right above it, so I'm expecting to land it next time I go out if there is no rain.

Wow, usually this game starts out as easy tricks and gets harder! Looking at it now, both of the starting sets have been very hard tricks that people don't even usually try.

Just read atrain's post....crud. He'll be like nothing too hard...BAM and it will be like a half forward flip half feather flip that no one has ever done in their life and we will all be dead.

Wow, just gave me a great trick idea!

Argh my board is totally water logged and void of all pop. I'm probably gonna switch tonight, then give it a few tries in the morning.

I'm gonna try this again tomorrow morning.

I just noticed in the movie, you used murder heelflip.
I'd rather put Forward heelflip.

Wow, just gave me a great trick idea!

Wouldn't it be like a sigma flip the vertical way, eventually resulting in a full front flip thing of the board caught into a mid-air anticasper halfway through ? That would look so frigging awesome, just picture it down a set :eek:

I'm counting on one of you two (or maybe someone else) to land, tape and upload it :D

Wouldn't it be like a sigma flip the vertical way, eventually resulting in a full front flip thing of the board caught into a mid-air anticasper halfway through ? That would look so frigging awesome, just picture it down a set :eek:
Nah, it would be like a reverse featherflip. You could do it as a full front flip type thing, but that would be with a anticasper while I was kind of meaning a casper. I was messing with it a bit today while learning forward heels (IM SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT) and I got the movent once or twice, but its really really easy to hit the trucks with your back foot on accident.

@SS6- If you land it before I do, can you call it something cool, like a crescent flip?

And another trick I'm working on-Front foot kiwiflips. Its kinda like when you do bs shuvit ff underflip, but with your heel frontside. Another totally weird trick. Give it a try :D

I'm gonna try this again tomorrow morning.

I just noticed in the movie, you used murder heelflip.
I'd rather put Forward heelflip.
I noticed that too, I'm changing it.

I think I'm going to keep the intro, because it doesnt work with the song without it. If you guys have ideas on what else to say then go for it.

Wow, crescent flip is actually a cool name...

Totally screwed myself on this one, I tried a couple times about 25 min ago.

The board hit my shin like 3 times in a row then i credit carded myself:(

Wow, crescent flip is actually a cool name...
Croissant flip however, is better.

Croissant flip however, is better.
How about a half forward flip late casper is a crescent flip and then half forward heelflip late casper is a croisssant flip!

jk, lol. I should definetely land this trick tomorrow, I finally learned to jump straight over it every time. Just keep landing upside down or one foot right over the top. Will do it :D

Oh, then the forward 1/2 heelflip version already exists, it's an epsilon flip (aka. front foot featherflip, like a 1/2 front foot impossible late casper flip, or a varial / forward 1/2 heelflip late casper flip) :
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/mrck41/epsilonflip-1.gifhttp://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/mrck41/epsilonflip.gif
(the first one is done the varial / forward 1/2 heelflip way, the second one is done the 1/2 front foot impossible way)

However I don't think I've ever seen anyone do them from the kickflip side (resulting in a forward 1/2 kickflip late casper flip), sigma flips have been done though (varial 1/2 kick late anticasper flip).

About the 'front foot kiwi flip' idea, try shove-it late heels by doing a varial flip from the foot positionning you mentionned, they're so much easier that way, you can even do shove-it late double / triple heels on flat with that technique :)

I was not talking about the epsilon flip.....in the trick I did I FLICKED the trick, it went over the top vertical, and when it had gone over but not fliped yet I kicked it back....the anticasper version would never be close to done though. Maybe that should be a crescent flip...

You mean like 1/2 forward flip , directly forward then get it back like featherflip? Something like ollie late nollie featherflip?

I was not talking about the epsilon flip.....in the trick I did I FLICKED the trick, it went over the top vertical, and when it had gone over but not fliped yet I kicked it back....

Well as long as we're talking about a forward 1/2 heelflip it would still be a vertical epsilon flip, just like front foot impossibles can either be flat or go vertical yet they're still front foot impossibles. The anticasper variation sounds like the kind of thing that's never been done though :)

Sonix, a 'ollie late nollie featherflip' would be a front foot featherflip, which is exactly what an epsilon flip is supposed to be.

I'm so close to that forward heelflip, but its hard to keep trying for more than 30 minutes. Landed a couple times and my stupid foot just stepped off.....

EDIT: here is the vid of my closest. Its just so horribly close!

^^ Almost man, you should get it before ending time.

Which is when?

Which is when?
We have all of tomorrow and then it ends at like 8am on Tuesday.

^^ Almost man, you should get it before ending time.

I know, but its just playing with me now, lol. I've landed it like that about 5 or so times now, and i landed perfectly upside down a few times(as in board flips and if i had caught it earlier i would have gotten it, but I let it overflip and landed directly on the wheels)

Thats too **** close man!
You´ll get er´for sure!

Word on the forward flip feather flip thing, at 0:50 in his round 3 part

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPTtdPn-VSY

rodney mullen does a forward flip to a no handed 50-50, so if he kicked it back in midair that would be the forward half flip late casper flip. I don't think anyone has done it with an anticasper though.

Looked more like a varial heel.

^ yup. im pretty sure that it's a varial 1/2 heel to nh 50-50.

anyway, i just got back and will try the fs anti bigfip and forward heel in the morning. It's just past midnight.

Good luck!

im pretty sure i won't get the forward heel but i got close to the fs anti bigflip so im just gonna focus on that trick. It's really pissing me off right now though. i just can't seem to get a good one.

Its that stupid roll away, eh?

I rewatched that Rodney mullen video. Yah, it looks more like a half front foot impossible the vertical way.

Definitely a varial 1/2 heel to no-handed 50/50 to me :) It barely even gets close to vertical.

ya the roll away and getting full rotation is killing me. im so close but it's pretty hard.

Got a decent forward heel. THere is a LITTLE toe touch, but after all, some is allowed, right? :icon_wink

UP IN A SEC
EDIT: (below post)

I dont think so.

I dont think so.
Its like instantaneous....

It counts, right? Cause it says in the rules it has to be "fairly clean" not perfect..

not really... cause that wasnt fairly clean, that was sketchy. you landed with alot of weight on that foot and it was obvious. youre soooo close though

I don't have any more time to film. There is no way that cannot count. If the entire game is judged THAT closely, it will be over in like 2 weeks!

It was a short toe touch, but in the end I guess it's up to Pathtek to decide.

I think that its a major minor toe touch, it's enough to land it but it just seems not good enough. Sorry.

dude... haha. the rules clearly state it has to be fairly clean. that is not clean at all. you landed with your weight on the ground and your foot made complete contact. it did not merely drag a little bit... im not trying to be really strict or anything, but i dont think you completely landed that one.

the toe drag you had in your first match is about how much leniency should be allowed. you touched for a short period of time and didnt seem to have much weight on the ground. asking for this one to count however is a major stretch

My weight wasnt on the ground! The edge of my toe was hanging off and the edge of my shoe was touching the ground!

Which first match? The varial heel one?

EDIT: I went outside and landed another one. It had quicker toe touch, but way more of it and I actually put weight onto it, unlike the one I posted. I'll just leave it on my camera.

If I get letter, I guess its okay. I learned the trick and can land it with toe touch about once every 10 minutes. Great set MRCK (Although I still think it should count)

I think he meant your fs antibigspin flip match ;)

But yeah, too much toe touch to count in my opinion, sorry it was really close. Still a bloody good effort though, glad to see you learned them.

i think i might have SK since im having trouble with the fs anti bigflip. And now im back in school :(

well it's qtip's set! hopefully i can match it. lol

Time's up! Q, it's your set man...Your on the clock! :)

Come on Q!!

It'll probably be another letter but I will give it my best :)

I filmed an impossible rewind and a switch 360 shove-it underflip, but the only ones I have on tape are pretty sketchy. I'll look at them on the camera and if they aren't clean enough I'll film one or the other tomorrow.

haha


so what you really said was "Skatermccrank has SKA after my set" bceause i cant even impossible or a normal shuv it underflip

I think he meant your fs antibigspin flip match ;)

But yeah, too much toe touch to count in my opinion, sorry it was really close. Still a bloody good effort though, glad to see you learned them.
Haha, yah. Thanks for setting it. Thats what this game is all about, right?

Looking forward to your set Qtip!

as in impossible revert? either way both sound fun, looking forward to it whatever it is

A pivot really, but yeah. I'm probably gonna end up setting switch 360 shove-it underflip though.

cool. never tried switch 360 underflip but i can switch shove underflip and switch banana flip.

Switch banana flip?

Switch banana flip?ya lol. it's a switch shove underflip body varial.

ya lol. it's a switch shove underflip body varial.
Alright. Well I'm waiting for the final decision on which trick to set before i start. Tonight I'm gonna go try kickflip underflips (help anyone?)

never tried kicky underflips but they seem hard.

Studying some youtube vids of them might help.

Alrighty. I'll let you know on AIM how I'm doing on them.

ya lol. it's a switch shove underflip body varial.

Why on earth did anyone start calling them banana flips? Thats a bit stupid. :icon_writ





I really just needed an excuse to use that icon haha.

I can do both tricks so I guess I'll just film my match in advance today and post it when you post your set (if you don't change your mind meanwhile), obscure warehouse session I'm leaving for right now <bag:)

I doubt I'll change my mind except I might go for a switch 360 shove-it double underflip.

I really just needed an excuse to use that icon haha.im not sure but lots of people call it that now and i started doing it too. haha

Does it HAVE to be double here?? hahaha...My left foot isn't feeling the ''double'' today (nor the single for that matter, but if ya set it, i'll try it :))

I'm not in this game at all, but I sure do post a lot here in this thread. Mmmm-hmmm.

I lurk the skate games section, because everywhere else I feel out of place... haha.

ya i hope it's a single. I'll start practicing switch 360 underflips when i get home from school. i really want to get a match.

Roboman, you almost have an orange name!

Whats an orange name? How do I get it?

you only need 3 more posts. sooo close!

Just got home from school, I'll go out and film my set in a bit.

No snow, 60 degrees, PLEASE set something today so I can actually get a good attempt in :p haha

must be something hard if its taking nearly 3 hours lol... :tongue:
