View Full Version : Beginner GAME OF SKATE - Discussion/Sign-Up
So with extensions we still play normal right? Or are we just waiting a day for the next set?
nah. for everyone else besides preston and pearso the matching time is basically up.
i leave it open for another hour and then post the new rankings.
Zeppelinskater3 03-27-2008, 06:20 PM ya ill take the letter for this. I could learn it but im kind of worn out from skating and school and stuff.
mlowe 03-27-2008, 07:10 PM ahh man i thought it was starting
guitarkid7 03-27-2008, 07:15 PM you can count me in if you want bro.
Please check before you post. This game started almost 2 weeks ago. And you missed the BGOS 2, too.
Lol, you edited fast.
209skater 03-27-2008, 10:38 PM so...is it my set now?
Pearso 03-28-2008, 02:35 AM Actually, aceofjacks, to be honest I really can't see what's wrong with my match. I've been busy the last few days so I never really had a chance to check the other matches and see what standard you accept, but now I've seen them mine seems perfectly fine. Watching 209skater's match, mine seems exactly the same as his, watch my match again, and I'm rolling at about the same speed as him, and after the x foot we both changed back quickly, so if his counts I can't see why mine isn't. As for the x foot, my right foot was over left, so yeah I cna't really see the problem.
And anyway, you said you were gonna wait till you saw what every one else said about my match before confirming i need to rematch, no one commented.
guitarkid7 03-28-2008, 06:22 AM Pearso, nobody posts in here, lol.
I'll check your match again a few times when get home, I have to go to school now. I'll vote then, if I will matter, I don't know..?

Yeah, I really didn't see a problem with your match.
My set is uploading. :)
en$LAVED 03-28-2008, 11:16 AM really good set 209,
i might not be able to match this one.
209skater 03-28-2008, 11:24 AM Yay! :P I was hoping to get some people.
guitarkid7 03-28-2008, 03:04 PM Yeah, me too. I suck at heelflips.
Nice set.
pearso i am going to need more opinions on your match. i personally don't think it should count.
besides the little bit of toe-to-ground

en$LAVED 03-28-2008, 04:33 PM well
209,
i just got my match
:D
it was fun learning em
and challenging,
the board kept flipping up and hitting my shins
heh
im uploading it from my cam now.
i got my match too. this one was a tuffy. i kept landing one footed. so my match is extremely crappy :)
209skater 03-28-2008, 06:52 PM congrats on learning them. :P
And thanks, guitarkid.
congrats on learning them. :P
And thanks, guitarkid.
i just realized something when watching your vid. you do the body varial in an abnormal way. typically i see people turn BS but you turned FS.
hmmmmmmm
209skater 03-28-2008, 07:18 PM I think I turned BS. The same way you would for a BS 180. I think it looks that way because my board rotated a little.
hahah, yea. nvm.
Merging doublepost
for my match, let me just say my toe did not tap. you can tell because IF i DID tap the ground the board would have jerked to a stop but it didn't. yes i agree my foot was close to the ground but it never touched. i kinda pulled a rodney mullen.
guitarkid7 03-28-2008, 09:39 PM Dude, this set is gayeh! Haha, when I try it, I end up doing some retarded looking fs shove, lol. I think I'm focusing on the body varial too much.
Pearso 03-28-2008, 11:36 PM Dude, this set is gayeh! Haha, when I try it, I end up doing some retarded looking fs shove, lol. I think I'm focusing on the body varial too much.
Lol yeh same here dude. I tried it a bit and the closest i got was landing one foot, but it was rare and I hate weird tricks like this soooo much. I wish people would set normal tricks.:icon_snif
209skater 03-28-2008, 11:39 PM Lol yeh same here dude. I tried it a bit and the closest i got was landing one foot, but it was rare and I hate weird tricks like this soooo much. I wish people would set normal tricks.:icon_snif
thats mainly why i set this. :P i knew if i set a normal trick, people might learn it faster than a weird trick, lol.
en$LAVED 03-30-2008, 06:14 PM how are the matches coming along guys?
guitarkid7 03-30-2008, 06:28 PM Bad, haha. Didn't get one. I got a set though :) .
But, might not count.
Preston951 03-30-2008, 10:41 PM hey guys, just so everyone knows, im injured right now. I tore some important ligaments in my foot from trying to switch flip a 4 stair. its on video, and will be up soon haha. i already talked with aj, so everything is cool.
i should be better in a couple of weeks at max. im not dropping out :)
guitarkid7 03-31-2008, 06:15 AM I read that from the BFGOS discussion, that sucks ^.
I have a set, I'll post it when I get home from school. That should be about 3 hours after the matches are up.
209skater 03-31-2008, 09:27 PM Alright, I'll go out and try to match after my homework. :)
Merging doublepost
Won't let me edit my first post.
Anyway, I put up a couple matches that I think should count. I completely lost this trick. :(
guitarkid7 03-31-2008, 09:47 PM Nice match 209, way better then my set, haha.
And IMO they both count. Ace said he didn't mind apivot out of fakie, and the second one had a little roll away.

Lol, ok that's good. I almost snapped my board because I was so frustrated that I couldn't land this. First time I got mad over a trick in a long time, haha.
guitarkid7 03-31-2008, 10:21 PM AJ, where did you say you worked again? Not Mickeh D's?
And the Learners GOS has WAY to many posts. Always on the top of the unread posts. We need to post more! Haha, get some GOS topic convos going.
I work at Auntie Anne's Preztels hahaha ^^^^^
guitarkid7 04-01-2008, 01:46 PM OHH YEAH!! Haha, I love that name.
Nice match Pearso.
en$LAVED 04-01-2008, 06:52 PM hey guys havent been on lately,
internet crashed last night due to a snow storm..
and i rolled my ankle really bad in gym today and i can barely walk..
so can i get an extension or something like preston got?
like an injury thing?
guitarkid7 04-01-2008, 06:55 PM Sorry for your loss, ensl@ved.
.
ZOMG EVERYONE IS GETTING INJURED!!!!
jeeeez, so many people on extensions and injuries
guitarkid7 04-01-2008, 07:02 PM BINGO! I win!
Nah, I'm serious now. I just owned AJ with a prank, hehe.
So now there is, what.. 6 people who are still playing? Kind of sucks. And to those on extensions, its not your fault. Haha, I duno. The sets are going to go through pretty fast now.
keep the game alive fellas hahaha
guitarkid7 04-02-2008, 07:52 PM I don't even think all 10 players posted in here yet.. seriously, your allowed to TALK!!
How's the BS flip coming along to those who actually read this?
do you guys mind if a get one day extension on my match?
i had work today and wasn't able to skate at all.
209skater 04-03-2008, 10:19 PM Well my right ankle hurts whenever I try to slide with it. So I'm ok with that. Hopefully it heals soon, I can't even ollie regularly, I had to skate switch all day yesterday and today.
guitarkid7 04-04-2008, 06:23 AM Another injury. This game is slow..
Ace, I finally got a gold bar.
And you should post your set soon.
lemme kno if my match counts
Preston951 04-04-2008, 05:29 PM ahhahah 3 injuries in one game, this is ridiculous!
aj... u didnt roll away on your bs flip? idk, brandon, does it count?
and your toesys touched on the double but u said a little toe touch is ok, so u should be coo with the set
Paul J 04-04-2008, 05:39 PM Your sets are harder then ours so far lol 180 flips arn't allowed in ours first round, boo :(
ahhahah 3 injuries in one game, this is ridiculous!
aj... u didnt roll away on your bs flip? idk, brandon, does it count?

look again preston, no toe touch on my double
209skater 04-04-2008, 06:31 PM Well my ankle still hurts. Hopefully it'll heal before matching time. I really don't want to ask for an extension, but I might have to since I can't skate regularly. :(
guitarkid7 04-04-2008, 09:00 PM Nice set AJ.
I have no idea about that match though. I'd count it I guess. You've gave me some breaks, plus technically, you did roll away, haha.
Pearso 04-05-2008, 02:45 AM Your double flip looked fine to me AJ. But in your sig you need to edit the date that double flip matches are due ;)
209skater 04-05-2008, 11:15 AM My ankle feels a bit better now. I might get a match up today. :)
guitarkid7 04-05-2008, 11:28 AM I got a match :D . I'll get it up in a few.
Your double flip looked fine to me AJ. But in your sig you need to edit the date that double flip matches are due ;)
hahaha, fixed. it was late. i tend to become dead at around 12 in the morning.
and very nice brandon! i am surprised you got this one. i wanted to get you a letter, guess i'm not
guitarkid7 04-05-2008, 11:50 AM Haha. And it was a prety nice match IMO. Didn't rotate like they did before when I tried. Clean, AND! the handsign using ONE hand!
Haha. And it was a prety nice set IMO. Didn't rotate like they did before when I tried. Clean, AND! the handsign using ONE hand!
"pretty nice match" i think is wat you meant to say ;)
other wise you'd be complimenting my set, and knowing you........ you wouldn't hahaha
guitarkid7 04-05-2008, 11:57 AM Haha, I edited it.
But it was a nice set too, better then my match I think, for roll away. And my video JUST finished saving.
Haha I lost my shoe twice today. Learning halfcab heels, shot my shoe in my garage then lost it on a double. Its in the video, for the double one.
hahaha, can't wait to see the match
is this your first double?
guitarkid7 04-05-2008, 12:05 PM Pretty sure it is. Fun trick, only took me 2 or 3 days to learn. I want to get FS flips soon though. Kind of tricky.
Edit: And AJ, getting first set in GOG.. Gah, haha.

hahaha, nice match dude
and yea! that guitar thingy going to be fun. i am still not sure of what song i am choosing. maybe Radio Song :)
i love that easy song
guitarkid7 04-05-2008, 12:22 PM Hahahah, I love that song too! Its so corny and girly but so awsome. Same with Ruby, not sure where I heard that ebfore GH3 though.
Hahahah, I love that song too! Its so corny and girly but so awsome. Same with Ruby, not sure where I heard that ebfore GH3 though.
i was going to set ruby too, but its just too easy. too many long chords.
i one time hit 100% on Radio Song (expert of course) so i might try to do it again :)
guitarkid7 04-05-2008, 01:07 PM Nice.
I want to play rockband, I know 2 people who have it but didn't play it yet.
Preston951 04-05-2008, 04:23 PM o my bad aj, it looks fine ;)
im gonna put up my foot injury footage and some denver university footage too in a little, its funny as hell :)
guitarkid7 04-05-2008, 10:32 PM hey guys, just so everyone knows, im injured right now. I tore some important ligaments in my foot from trying to switch flip a 4 stair. its on video, and will be up soon haha. i already talked with aj, so everything is cool.

HOLD ON A MINUTE..
I was just watching some of your videos on youtube, and your GOOFY. And switch flip the 4 stair would be regular but in that GIF, your skating GOOFY. So whats the story ;) ?
And by video I mean sig.
209skater 04-06-2008, 12:02 AM I tried them today. I landed my first one primo and hurt my right ankle. :( What time is it due tomorrow, because I might be able to get one?

and they are due today. April 6th
guitarkid7 04-06-2008, 10:02 AM Really? Why is it flipped?
And matches are due already? That was fast. Looks like we have to skip 2 people, and it'll be Pearso's set.
209skater 04-06-2008, 10:17 AM Wait, you set on the 4th and we have 3 days to match so dont i have one more day?
yea my mistake dude^^^
matches due the 7th
209skater 04-06-2008, 11:54 AM Cool, I'll try getting a match up today. :)
lsara3699 04-06-2008, 01:40 PM dah wrong topic
guitarkid7 04-06-2008, 03:28 PM dah wrong topic
What? ..
Oh, and my kingpin snapped today :( . I'll try to get some new trucks soon, if not I might need an extenstion for the next set.
i landed a new trick today. so watch out guys ;)
209skater 04-06-2008, 08:34 PM damn, couldn't get a match. oh well, letter for me.
guitarkid7 04-06-2008, 08:38 PM 209, still learn them. Not too too hard, fun too.
AJ, can I get an extension? I think I am ordering Indys tomorrow but that still takes a week to get here. I'll try to use a friends board if possible, if not, not sure. Thanks.
damn, couldn't get a match. oh well, letter for me.
got til tomorrow dude, keep at it
209skater 04-06-2008, 08:54 PM I'm just too used to catching them. :P Any tips?
guitarkid7 04-06-2008, 09:00 PM Front foot middle of board, mess with it a bit, pop hard, jump high and flick really hard, but not so hard you cant' controll the board. Just takes a few minutes to get your own foot placement I guess.
I'm just too used to catching them. :P Any tips?
have foot more in middle, flick more towards board instead of away, like across the nose, flick hard, keep legs up for a lil longer so board does full spin
209skater 04-06-2008, 11:21 PM I finally got one! I'll upload it after I go skate this ledge with some friends.

guitarkid7 04-07-2008, 06:30 AM Yep, nice match 209.
All my trys were all 1.5 flips, and the one I landed was 2, I never slipped out or anything. Weird. Its really frustrated landing 1.5 all the time, haha.

And GOG set up, need to check that out in a minute.

ya, thats what was happening to me at first, but then I put my foot back more and started getting 2.
Pearso 04-08-2008, 06:41 AM K, I'm setting a switch front shuv. I know it says no switch tricks till later, but bs flips were allowed, same with double flips. So why not, and plus it's pouring rain here, and I have one pre recorded.

its cool man. 2 people dropped out and we got some on extensions. you can basically set anything you want that seems reasonable.
nice set!
209skater 04-08-2008, 10:12 AM Nice set!
I'll get a match when I get back from school.
i got a match, but i am going to wait to see if i can get a better one. mine right now is kinda sketchy
skatinkrazy 04-08-2008, 05:16 PM Just curious AOJ, for my eyes could you take out the people who are eliminated or dropped out from your siggy :)? I like to take quick glances to see how your games going and I am always confused who's in and out, and what pruple means. Haha so if you would, thanks :D

my sig ain't too complicated.
if there is a full SKATE then they are out
i made the people who are out with gray name and gold letters
purple is currently out, but didn't really lose. Aaron is injured, so is preston, and Tim A doesn't have a cam
everyone else is just a normal black with blue letters
and red stuff is like the set or match time

guitarkid7 04-08-2008, 07:35 PM Nice set. It's killing me not being able to skate! I might throw a random truck on if I can find one, we'll see.
en$LAVED 04-08-2008, 09:41 PM hey guys
just going to give an update on my injury
currently
it is still swollen up
and hurts to flick
so give me a couple more days!
guitarkid7 04-09-2008, 02:18 PM I got a match but you can't really see the handsign ! Gah. If you want, I'll fast forward all the trys it took, but I might have to rematch.
I'll post it in a second.
en$LAVED 04-09-2008, 06:05 PM WOOOHOOOO
i just found out that a skateboard contest is coming to my local park
beginners devision
:D
im so hyped for it.
just thought i'd share.
guitarkid7 04-09-2008, 06:07 PM Ahh, nice ensl@ved.
I'm pretty pumped too. I just order:
Koston Independent Trucks
Spitfire Wheels
Bones Red Bearings
And some random hardware :D I hope its here by next tuesday, not sure if they ship on weekends. I got it from Action Village, I orderd from there before.
And not sure if you guys saw, I posted a match.

haha nice guitarkid
indys are the best.
guitarkid7 04-09-2008, 07:12 PM Haha, make sure to get some footy of you at the comp!
And I just had to order indys, such good reviews. Although I found out of every 10 good reviews, some random person would say "my kingpin snapped, these trucks suck!" and the username is usually something along the lines of another truck company.
matches due by today fellas
guitarkid7 04-11-2008, 01:55 PM My order finally got processed and shipped. Apprently it left Chicago around 9 this morning, and the place it was shipped from was in Il. too. So, yeah. Thats my update.

enslaved if your still on extension then let me know.
preston and aaron if you guys come back then you got a crap load of sets to match.
guitarkid7 04-11-2008, 08:00 PM Lol, IF they come back..
I guess people have lives. No one posts in here. If you guys are on, just check this and post an update or something, give me something to read! Haha, I get so lonely on here. No one to talk to :(.
And my order is expected to be here next wednesday :D .
Preston951 04-11-2008, 08:00 PM ahhh.... dood... im considering just dropping out. i dont wanna reinjure my self once i heal, so i think i might have too.
jeez.... just my luck. i guess i will lose BFGOS too. so much time wasted...
guitarkid7 04-11-2008, 08:02 PM Wasted time? Gee, thanks, lol. the FGOS was probably fun though.
Pearso 04-13-2008, 04:12 AM Come on enslaved, hurry up and set please!!!
guitarkid7 04-13-2008, 05:45 PM Haha, I'm waiting too. Even though I can't skate.
I fixed up my box though today. Made a pretty much whole new one. Its 4 feet long and 2 feet wide with coping on one side. Its 11 inches tall. I made it 12, then turned out to be 12 and a half but was like, no way am I going to skate that.
ok enslaved is still on extension so the set will go to 209skater
209skater 04-14-2008, 05:57 PM I'll go film my set after I do my homework. :)
newskater1819 04-14-2008, 06:31 PM what are the requirements?

Thanks man. :)
They're way funner than fakie cabs for me.
guitarkid7 04-15-2008, 06:03 AM Nice set!
Ace, does that mean when I get my stuff, I get 3 days to match all the tricks I missed? I think this is the first trick I missed, and my stuff alreaduy left Mississauga last night :D And last time my order took 9 hours from Mississauga to somewhere in Quebec, then a day til Dartmouth, which is 3 hours away. So, hopefully wednesday.

guitarkid7 04-15-2008, 04:59 PM Alright. I checked my tracking thing today in school, I expect it to be here tomorrow, in the after noon. I'll PM you when I get it so you know when to start the 3days from.
209skater 04-15-2008, 05:59 PM Nice match, Pearso!
any tips on these?
all i can get are nollie half cabs
bananjoss 04-16-2008, 02:52 PM im in :)
guitarkid7 04-16-2008, 06:34 PM im in :)
This started, what, almost 2 months ago? You'll have to wait til a new one.
Anddd.. the currier people called and said my package will be delivered to my house tomorrow sometime :D . So, yeah. I have nothing after school tomorrow, a free night to skate, expect a box session and hopefully a match..
But don't count the three days til i confirm it came! You never know.
Pearso 04-17-2008, 09:00 AM any tips on these?
all i can get are nollie half cabs
I have my front foot on the very heelside edge, so my toes are just on, and pretty much the opposite with my back foot, except just behind the bolts. So your back foot has the heels sitting on the edge of the toe side rail. Then you just wind up your shoulders, and pop it as high as you can and try to land your back foot on the nose and keep spinning.
Merging doublepost
Come on lads, 12 hours to go. It's not that hard of a trick :P
got my match :)
very very sketchy but its my first, be up in a sec
guitarkid7 04-17-2008, 05:20 PM Nice match. I'm in now. I got my stuff. I was close but no cigar on the match. Maybe tomorrow.
en$LAVED 04-17-2008, 09:51 PM **** guys,
i think i might have to drop
i rolled my ankle again today
hurts to walk so bad,
and i don't want to hold up the game
**** guys,
i think i might have to drop
i rolled my ankle again today
hurts to walk so bad,
and i don't want to hold up the game
up to you man, but i need a decision by the end of the night
en$LAVED 04-17-2008, 10:47 PM ah damn
i'm dropping
i dont want some long term injuries on my ankle.
guitarkid7 04-18-2008, 06:21 AM Ah, that would hurt, rolling your ankle twice! Sucks.
Little video of my skating, hopefully I can match tonight or something.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5YzniBSwj0
en$LAVED 04-18-2008, 06:02 PM hahah
that was a funny bail in that video
today is my birthday!
yay!
guitarkid7 04-18-2008, 06:05 PM Nice, happy birthday.
I couldn't get that match, I still have until tomorrow night around 5 for my extension I think, so maybe I can get one tonight, I was sweating in jeans so I couldn't bend my knees, it was a hassle.
Tough set though, props to the guys who got it, I have the same problem AJ had, just doing the 180, and if I do get past I either land with the front trucks touching for a secondd or I just do mostly pivots.
And any reccomendations on a new deck? I will have enough to order a new deck next week instead of buying a blank again. I'm thinking an Enjoi Plaid or some Girl deck.
Nice, happy birthday.

Pearso 04-18-2008, 10:44 PM Pleeeeasse set soon guitarkid =P I've been getting so bored lately haha.
yea me too^^^^
i need a sweet flip trick !!!! hahaha
guitarkid7 04-19-2008, 11:07 AM Woah, its my set?!?
I'll get one today then. Do I still have match time too though?
Woah, its my set?!?
I'll get one today then. Do I still have match time too though?
match and set for you guitarkid are both due by tomorrow, so you gots some time still
guitarkid7 04-19-2008, 07:41 PM I got a set, but with a little toe drag. Whenever it uploads and I post it, let me know if it counts, but I'm not going back out tonight, beat to sht.
Pearso 04-19-2008, 09:13 PM When will it be uploaded and ready to go?? :P
guitarkid7 04-19-2008, 09:52 PM When will it be uploaded and ready to go?? :P
Right now :D, haha.

Pearso 04-20-2008, 12:13 AM Hmm i dunno dude. The trick was dodgy in too many ways. Your toe touch stopped all momentum, and with out the pivot you wouldn't have rolled away, and even after the pivot you rolled away normal, not fakie. I say re-set.
guitarkid7 04-20-2008, 12:18 AM AJ votes no too. I'll reset tomorrow, er today (its 1:20).

i agree with pearso, reset it brandon
shouldn't be too hard
209skater 04-20-2008, 12:44 AM I didn't get to see it. What was the trick?:P
Also, since there's only 4 people left, we can set any trick right?
guitarkid7 04-20-2008, 12:45 AM It's a sketchy fakie tre. But I'm resetting tomorrow.

it was a fakie tre, and yea.
anything goes at this point fellas :)
good luck to all
Pearso 04-20-2008, 01:31 AM =P This is gonna be interesting from here on in. To be honest I only took a letter on that double flip cause I could never be bothered to go out and try the trick, I wish I had though, starting with K when anything goes isn't a good way to start it.

trust me dude. i don't know many tricks. hahaha
Pearso 04-20-2008, 07:52 AM trust me dude. i don't know many tricks. hahaha
Haha, I've got an alright bundle of tricks I've got in mind for sets and stuff.
Can I just clear up though, guitarkid isn't going to get an extension to re-set is he? I know he said he can't get one tonight or something but generally your not allowed to get an extension just cause your set wasn't up to scratch.
guitarkid7 04-20-2008, 09:09 AM No, I have til like 4 or 5 tonight to match and set because of my extension with no board.
Pearso 04-20-2008, 09:30 AM No, I have til like 4 or 5 tonight to match and set because of my extension with no board.
Ahh ok, fair enough. Sorry I thought you were getting an extension cause your set didn't count lol.
guitarkid7 04-20-2008, 09:32 AM Yeah.
Anyone entering that 360 flip contest? Haha, it'd be fun just for kicks, atelast for me. If I can get a clean one, even though mine are low as ****, I might enter it, just for fun. Can't hurt.
209skater 04-20-2008, 10:49 AM Yeah.

I might enter it just for fun. My tres haven't been that good since I started learning pressure flips and hardflips. I barely roll away now. :( But I'll enter it if you guys enter. :)
don't waste entries for the tre flip contest. some people here have steezy tres and you guys know, no one will vote for yours.
guitarkid7 04-20-2008, 12:33 PM Yeah, I realized mine aren't consistant at all.
I got a reset and match :DD
209skater 04-20-2008, 03:43 PM Alright, I'll get a match at the skatepark. Fakie tres are much easier and funner than regulars. :D
guitarkid7 04-20-2008, 04:35 PM Yeah, alot easier, and they stay almost right under you.
And today it was like that nollie cab just came to me, I got close a few times, turned on the camera and landed it in a few.
Fallenskater878 04-20-2008, 06:33 PM Put me in!

I had to put on my old shoes since I just got new shoes and can't tre in them yet. :P
the way its looking man, you might win this thing
unless i find your weak spot ;)
209skater 04-21-2008, 10:26 PM I do have lots of weak spots. You just have to find them. :P
I do have lots of weak spots. You just have to find them. :P
well maybe i'll do some double flip variations.
maybe a 360 double flip!!!
hahahaha
that would blow for everyone if i landed that
209skater 04-21-2008, 11:46 PM I'm actually working on those, haha. Not that close, though. :P
Pearso 04-22-2008, 07:52 AM I might be taking a letter on this one boys. I've landed a few with toe touch and slipped out and I know I can get it but it's raining like a ***** here =P.
guitarkid7 04-22-2008, 02:03 PM Haha, 360 double flip..
Nice match 209! Really clean, you too AJ.
I'm going to go skate with my 2 friends who skate, I'll get my new trick down today ;) .
doogmah 04-22-2008, 02:26 PM 209skater props on the clean landings for all of these.
209skater 04-22-2008, 05:56 PM 209skater props on the clean landings for all of these.
Thanks man, appreciate it. :)
Pearso 04-22-2008, 10:01 PM Grr. Ace can I get an extension on this trick for the weather? It's beinga *****, and the last two days it's been raining.
Grr. Ace can I get an extension on this trick for the weather? It's beinga *****, and the last two days it's been raining.

Pearso 04-23-2008, 01:53 AM http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDN10064.txt
It's supposed to be raining till tomorrow. Friday is when it clears up. Far out weather's a pain. I'll try to get it tomorrow, but my driveway is too slippery when it's wet. You can just roll and do an ollie and as soon as you land the board will slide out and you'll fall on your ass. Let alone a fakie tre o_O

Thanks a lot mate :D
guitarkid7 04-24-2008, 08:35 PM Nice set ace! Hopefully I can match tomorrow.
209skater 04-24-2008, 11:05 PM Haha, you have found my weakness. :P
I can flip these, but I can't land it for the life of me. Oh, well. I'll try them out tomorrow and see if I got any better at them.
Haha, you have found my weakness. :P
well i need you to get a letter.
i saw on your profile a hardflip and inward heel.
so i need to get you as many letters possible. hahaha
209skater 04-24-2008, 11:30 PM lol
I still don't know what to set next, though. I need to do some digging and find some of your guys' weaknesses. Maybe I'll try learning 540 flips or something. :P
hahaha, i'd be screwed. but i am made close to 2 awesome tricks that i think you would miss^^^
MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
209skater 04-25-2008, 12:01 AM Give me a hint!
Give me a hint!
want me to just show you?
Pearso 04-25-2008, 05:01 AM Still no sunshine today. Bugger it I'll just take the letter.
Nice set aswell, I probably wont get this.
guitarkid7 04-25-2008, 06:11 AM Hahah, 540 flips. I think regular 360 flips would come first, fakie as way easier.
I might match this tonight, I have track though. I was going to set this before but was tired and didn't try after 4 tries.
hey brandon, for some reason you don't have a letter, but you did earlier in the game.
did i erase for something? cuz i swore you had one but i looked in the tricks thread and you matched all the sets.
please be honest with me, did you have a letter?
guitarkid7 04-25-2008, 03:31 PM Yeah, a letter for the disco flip.
209skater 04-25-2008, 09:43 PM want me to just show you?
sure
and i tried these today. i was feeling really tired after school so I didn't put much effort. I'll try again tomorrow.

209skater 04-26-2008, 12:13 AM I'm going to start working on those. :P
209skater 04-27-2008, 12:03 AM No luck yet for me. I might have to take a letter on this one.
Paul J 04-27-2008, 08:34 AM Don't mind me, i'm just snooping around and seeing how your game is going, hey are we still doing that whole thing where the winner from our game goes against the winner from yours? :icon_blah
guitarkid7 04-27-2008, 09:39 AM Don't mind me, i'm just snooping around and seeing how your game is going, hey are we still doing that whole thing where the winner from our game goes against the winner from yours? :icon_blah
Yeah, we should.
And hopefully I can match today. ANDDDD I'm ordering a new deck tomorrow night. A Girl. :D I think my tres are messed because of my tail on my blank.. It soo square, and like, an inch and a half shorter :/. I tried using the nose and spun the tre soo much easier, so hopefully I can do like, 900 underflips with my new deck!

pearso your up to set man! :)
guitarkid7 04-27-2008, 08:23 PM Pearso, you NEED to get AJ a letter. Do it for me :).
Pearso, you NEED to get AJ a letter. Do it for me :).
how about no, you crazy dutch bastard. hahahaha
besides i think 209 is going to give me a letter.
guitarkid7 04-27-2008, 08:39 PM I'm not dutch.
And good, 209 AND Pearso wil get you letters!
Haha, just playin.
I'm not dutch.
And good, 209 AND Pearso wil get you letters!
Haha, just playin.
you do realize if i get a letter, than that probably means your going to get a letter since it will be a hard set. hahaha
and "crazy dutch bastard" is from Austin Powers
Pearso 04-27-2008, 10:34 PM I've got a set recorded, but it's fair easy and I'm not sure I should set it. I don't want to go out and have someone on no letters, so I might go get a harder one :D
I've got a set recorded, but it's fair easy and I'm not sure I should set it. I don't want to go out and have someone on no letters, so I might go get a harder one :D
hahaha, god. i am not that good guys.
209skater 04-27-2008, 11:37 PM I already have my set filmed. :) It's pretty hard, I guess. You guys might match it, though.
Pearso 04-28-2008, 12:04 AM Just filmed my set. Backside heelflip. Amazingly high popped haha. The height I caught it is like higher than my kickflip and the height of a decent ollie but there was a bit of toe touch :S I dunno if you guys will count it or not, there wasn't that much and I got it off pretty quick. It may appear like that's what slowed me down heaps but its that I landed on a rough part of my driveway, I got a little clip of the bit I landed on to show you.

post it boi! in the tricks thread
Merging doublepost
here's the deal with your set/trick pearso,
i will allow it to count, but the matches can be as sketchy as that.
agree?
Pearso 04-28-2008, 12:34 AM Haha fine with me bro.
Just wanted a decent trick to go out on haha cause I don't think I'll make it to my next set. I'm back at school tomorrow and I usually lose motivation and time when I'm at school.
read my merged post pearso hahaha
guitarkid7 04-28-2008, 02:55 PM HAHA dude, AJ. I was about to say the SAME thing when I read the "sketchy, let it count" that he said. But I never posted cause the comp was slow.
I agree, let it count but let matchs be just as sketchy.
But nice set, really high!
skatinkrazy 04-28-2008, 04:28 PM We just set a BS Heel (I did) and ours were cleaner :p!
Pearso you should've tic tacked to make at least a fake roll awya hehe.
guitarkid7 04-28-2008, 04:45 PM I gotz da match
I hope .......... 3 of them, ****ty though. Please let them count. In the mean time im still gonna try for better ones.
Just need it to process. Check the tricks thread in a few,
209skater 04-28-2008, 05:59 PM I'm gonna go out and try them. :) Hopefully I land one.
ok you know what, i know i said i would let it count, but i am not going to anymore. not that i can't do it, because i can. and i just got it on film, but the fact that its almost the end of the game and there are 4 people left.
pearso you landed too sketchy to count.
toe tap, no roll away.
i am giving you an extra day to reset pearso. so your set is due by may 1.
Whatever 04-28-2008, 07:00 PM oo this is exciting :D iv'e watched all the videos. i'd sign up but this is pretty hard for begginers
oo this is exciting :D iv'e watched all the videos. i'd sign up but this is pretty hard for begginers
hahaha, glad your enjoying it. almost to an end!
from what i hear the two people that win the beginners will compete in a final showdown.
that ought to be interesting. hahaha

That is true. Chances are your winner will play Paul J from us, he is gonna kick my ass.
209skater 04-28-2008, 10:46 PM Damn, I just got my match. :( I thought it would count since you let Pearso's set count. I'll post mine here and get opinions. I didn't toe touch, but I did lose balance and tick-tacked. Tell me if it counts.
2C32UjuG3EU
yea sorry dude. your will count if he resets a bs heel, but i mean. i think we should be pratical now.
this is the end of the game and i think its wrong to allow sets so sketchy as that.
i am being nice to pearso, i am allowing him an extra day to match. so really he didn't lose or gain anything
209skater 04-28-2008, 11:32 PM Alright, then. I'll film a better match tomorrow if Pearso resets by then. :)
Pearso 04-29-2008, 06:59 AM ok you know what, i know i said i would let it count, but i am not going to anymore. not that i can't do it, because i can. and i just got it on film, but the fact that its almost the end of the game and there are 4 people left.
pearso you landed too sketchy to count.
toe tap, no roll away.
i am giving you an extra day to reset pearso. so your set is due by may 1.
Haha riteo. I don't understand why you would reverse your decision but whatever. My set wasn't that bad. Toe tap and hardly a roll away but I gave you a little clip showing why. It wasn't underrotated and I would have rolled fakie if I had no toe touch but whatever. I've got no time to reset so I'll just give you a BS Fullcab.
yea man, sorry about the confusion.
but like i said, its the end of the game and our sets and matches need to be cleaned up.
plus, everyone matched the bs heelflip, now you get another chance to give people a letter.
guitarkid7 04-29-2008, 03:54 PM So it was a BS full cab? I'll try and get one tonight.
In.. 2 hours I'm going to a hockey game, its like a special game. Solvania and another team, I forget, gonna be sick. Its at a rink only like 10 mins away.
209, don't doubt yourself.
sorry to say but you were right
"i don't that think was in..."
fakie, and no is wasn't. hahaha
209skater 04-30-2008, 12:23 AM I meant to say frame, lol. When I looked over to my camera, it looked like it didn't capture it, haha. So does it count? I'm confused, lol.
I meant to say frame, lol. When I looked over to my camera, it looked like it didn't capture it, haha. So does it count? I'm confused, lol.
you did it fakie when its just a normal bs cab, hahaha.
sorry dude. need to do it normally....
209skater 04-30-2008, 12:26 AM But, his set was in fakie, lol. It's dark, but you can tell it's fakie.
But, his set was in fakie, lol. It's dark, but you can tell it's fakie.
ah, i see it now, kinda.
sooo DARK!!!!
hahahahaha. alright my bad.
209skater 04-30-2008, 12:30 AM Haha, it's ok. I thought I was going crazy and couldn't tell fakie from regular.
Haha, it's ok. I thought I was going crazy and couldn't tell fakie from regular.
maybe it was nollie!!
hahaha, jk
Pearso 04-30-2008, 04:40 AM ???
Guys, Cab means fakie 360 haha. You can't really have a fakie Full cab because it's already in fakie.
guitarkid7 04-30-2008, 05:59 AM Ahah, good one ace.
i just recorded a set for later, and no its not a forward flip. so calmmmm down
guitarkid7 04-30-2008, 06:04 PM Haha . ^
I got a match. Uploading to youtube now. And, I tried a BS heel for fun, landed in rail, haha. I stayed in rail then came out, it was funny.
skatinkrazy 04-30-2008, 06:10 PM I hate to barge in, and even though thedesicion is finished just saying...you can't make a desicion on something then later reverse it. For example, say were wathcing a show and 3 judges give you all 10s.....then when the next contestant is up one one them is liek "Wait am inute....ermm it's near the end of the show, I say we ggivehim a 8 now..." I mean I really don't care much, just trying to help out my boy Pearso :p. Anyways, you already decided though os no need to go back on it again, just letting you all know. Quick life lesson :)

Haha thanks dude.
I kinda thought that all along but no one else seemed too keen on letting it count (who could blame them on a bs heel?) so I didn't complain.
Haha thanks dude.

alright i know its been confusing this past set, but i will just keep it at bs heel. hahaha
pearso you may save that cab for a later time period if you want.
but i should have just stuck with my instinct of letting the BS heel count.
sorry for all the confusion
209skater 05-01-2008, 10:20 AM So...Did my match for the BS Heel count?
guitarkid7 05-01-2008, 02:15 PM Gah..
Ace, you saw my vid right? Do I have to reload it to youtube? I still have it on my computer I think.. And does it count?
209skater 05-01-2008, 05:58 PM This is confusing, lol. Everyone matched both the tricks, I think. So shouldn't we just go to the next set?
guitarkid7 05-01-2008, 06:05 PM Haha, very confusing..
AJ, let us know the deal when you can, what the set IS and who matched it.

well yea, ok well it was raining, and i was going to match the bs heel. so i wasn't able to skate.
you two are fine, sorry to have made you match 2 tricks hahaha
but neither of you got a letter so don't worry
so here's the deal. i will match the bs heel when i get home. i am leaving for Bamboozle this weekend so i won't be on a computer.
so i am on extension. 209 its your set now i believe so whenever your ready you can post it up.
skatinkrazy 05-02-2008, 10:00 PM Glad to know I made sense :)
Your welcome Pearso :icon_hug: haha.
209skater 05-02-2008, 10:08 PM My set is up.
guitarkid7 05-03-2008, 06:41 PM Gah, hard set. I think I have two matches but one is more of a front pop shove. And the other one I forget the handsign, but made a video 2 seconds after I stopped the other one. I hope you guys trust me, I can fast forward a bunch or more tries to show.The first one had teh handsign anyway.
I'm not posting right now cause I'm lazy and don't feel like switching computers.
Preston951 05-03-2008, 07:10 PM hey guys, how it goin? jus chekin on on the good ol' BGOS.
AJ... u really screwed everyone over! 2 sets at once? WTF? haha
lemme know whats goin on!?
guitarkid7 05-03-2008, 07:24 PM Dude..
AJ, you have a letter..
You never matched the BS full cab OR the bs heel, whatever one was the set ...
AND if you did, younever posted it so it won't count. I'm just hoping you forgot to update your sig.
Pearso 05-03-2008, 07:29 PM Dude..

He said he needed an extension cause he was going away somewhere.
I've had like no time at all to try this trick :(
I'm going street skating today so I'll have a go at it but if I can't get close I'll just take the letter and leave you guys in peace haha.
guitarkid7 05-03-2008, 07:35 PM Oh yeah, hes on extension, haha sorry.
I hate this trick, lol.
Pearso 05-04-2008, 03:28 AM Haha I tried this trick today. I almost landed a few late back foot varial heelflips but no closer to late shuvs. I'm out, cbf to try it anyway haha.
