If you do, you should check out this vid. It's me doing two tricks that I just recently picked up, the Casper to 180 Handflip and the No Comply to S-Air.

Here comes a scary idea, I can't ollie either. And I don't have to. All of my tricks are either flatland or spring from bonelesses and fastplants.

I just landed a sweet new casper variation today that I called the foot flip casper. Nothing really changes other than to get into the casper I kick the other side down and spin the board around my foot. I'll try to get a vid of that up soon so you guys can see that.

My next trick vid will feature the Foot Flip Casper and the 180 East. I will also give a detailed explaination of how to do No Complys correctly and sucessfully. So you skaters out there should keep an eye out for that!

Lol, so true...and painful...

EDIT: I forgot to ask this but, if there are anyone in the state of Oregon who skates, please e-mail me at john_aljets@yahoo.com. I would like to talk to you about a possible skate-related business venture.

I skate a lot, I just got tre flips down but I cant get high enough, I need a curb or something to olly off of to get the height. You prep'd the casper pretty good, just keep in mind your front foot shouldnt be touching the ground. Get er' done moving!

I have to put my foot down at one point to pull off the handflip (it is built off the no comply/fastplant/bonless/beanplant idea)but I do get it off the ground at one time but only for a sec. Since the filming of this vid, I have been able to hold the casper off the ground for about 15 seconds. I can even pivot 180-360 degrees while in a casper stance.

I believe I understand that better than most here. I mean, I'm a rollerblader surrounded by a ton of you skaters all the time. It takes a bit of patience to not kick some of those kids in the head!

Nah, the park I usually go to the guys are pretty cool about it, though not too keen on scooters. Although, I did go to Skatetopia once and I wouldn't dare try to rollerblade there. Those crazy drunk rednecks would probably stab me, and thats not an exaggeration. You wouldn't believe the crap that goes on out there.

I used to roller blade in my young preteen years. It was fun! I remember racing my friends and stuff.For now though I'm going to try to learn an ollie once the snow melts which i think is another 2 days or three since we are already in the plus temperatures like +5 so now i just need to wait for the snow to melt a day or two i think. Can't Wait!

I also skate.

If you need something to laugh about give me a call and i'll send a vid of me skating! I would have to record it first.

I can do a few tricks aswell (while in speed):
FS/BS 180 (yay both ways)
62cm ollie (never gotten higher than that)
almost BS 360. (i keep landing at 270degrees and bail! but i'll get it soon.)
kickflip
varial flip
boneless (not sure if it's a trick.. it's too easy to be called a "trick")

Anyway, out of all the tricks I make, i bail 9/10 times.

I scateboard, but as for tricks, I don't go above the disco flip or curb stall level. I can't even ollie and the reason is that a can't seem to jump worth crap which means I can't do a bonless or a caveman either. It sort of sucks.

I aplogise fr tge Abve. I mite hav mshpeled a cuple tings.

I cant believe the nerve of some people.

Some woman drove over my deck a few days ago. Thats not even the worst part. I was trying to olly up 2 fun-boxes my friends and I stacked, completely failed, bailed and got a 3rd degree sprain in my ankle, then my deck slowly rolled onto the street, and a woman stopped her van right in front of it. She then proceeded to look at me on the ground, look at my deck, then slowly, very slowly, drive over the deck and snap it in half, as if she thought somehow going slower wouldn't break it. She had plenty of room to go around, but seemed to be oblivious to anything going on around her. Some people really shouldn't have a license.

It sounds pretty funny looking back, but that was a pretty expensive deck. Gonna be atleast a few months before I have enough cash to buy a new one, gona suck missing out on that skating time. Atleast the hardware can be salvaged. ><


With all the skaters on here Im surprised nobody has really attempted at making a skating game yet.

Well, maybe in a couple of months you'll be able to buy one of my Hand made decks. Trek boards will only cost about $80-$100 US without a design on the bottom, and if you want, we are going to be able to put custom designs and artwork on the boards for a small fee. Of course you could just buy our basic, pre-design boards.

As long as you can jump high enough to get the board under you, your fine.

New Video is gonna be up this weekend!!!

@Ruccus - That totally sucks. I almost had my board run over by a guy once but fortunately he stopped in time. Always look both ways before crossing the street. I've also thought about making a skateboard game. Unfortunately i'm not a very talented coder and would most likely fail miserably. It would still be fun to try though...

@Godrich - Would be awesome if you could go into skate board. Good luck with with it and will wait for next vid.

you shoulda got her liscense plate and reported it to the police for "uneccacery damage to private property" or whatever it is, if you had a few people that saw it go with you you could probably sue her or something for it.

but i was on my bike once and some old man started swearing at me to get on the road, which i couldnt because it was a main road in rush hour and when i told him i couldnt he hit my back wheel with his stick and nearly bent the spokes out of place.


godrich, would you be willing to put a custom design on a board and post to england? i would definatly buy one then, especially if i got to design the deck.

@SO: Argh I hate morons like that. My bike got busted when a lady shoved me off the sidewalk because she thought I was going to run her over, I almost got ran over. I was pissed, almost cussed her out, if her kids weren\'t there... my chain got busted apart (car), popped a tire (car), and spokes got bent. Really sucks.

Are you dissing me man? Lol. I always try to encourage people to go out and skate hard, but within safe bounds. I don't want to hear about anyone breaking an ankle or something like that. (Which I have seen people do while attempting to No-comply a funbox.)
