Posted: Nov 04, 2003 11:55 pm Post subject: Pro Skateboarder wakeskating |
|
|
Alright I was thinkin what if a pro skateboarder started wakeskating, Say like Koston, Rowley, Penny someone like that. I wakeskated for about 1.5 months this summer, maybe less cause i ddint ride everyday, and I could do 180, shove it, 360 shove, some lip tricks, w2w, and some other stuff.
Then I started thinking look how far Greg has come and he has never skated before. I figure if Like Koston tried, within 2-3 weeks if he skated a few hours each day, he could hit a kickflip... and any of them would probably be the best wakeskater in the world.
Plus add to that if any of them have any watersport talent at all, they would def. be the best, What do you think? |

Or if mullen incorperated some of the stuff he does into wakeskating. Gazelle flips, 360 finger flips, underflips etc. it would be so sweet. _________________ Llamas are better then Alpacas

i think it would be sweet if mullen tried it. hes the best i bet hed try some sort of freestyle. if you think about it, a casper cuold be possible. but wakeskating is pretty different.

Gazelle flip is a 540 shuvit with a 360 body varial in the opposite direction im pretty sure. I think you have to kcikflip aswell. _________________ Llamas are better then Alpacas

I got the Globe Rodney Mullen DVD, and he's just unbelievable, it's only 15 mins long but you could just watch it over and over... and still be amazed. He was already doing freestyle when I started skating (17years ago, and I'm still no good at it).
I'm not surprised at any tricks he can land... he's on a different planet from the rest of them... _________________ ...too much soul to control... |

Yeah, Mullen's section in the Globe video is just mind blowing. I think that is my all time favorite section of a skate video (besides Search For Anilmal Chin). |

a friend of mine who has wakeboarded once or twice thinks that he would be stomping kickflips and shuv's just cuz he skateboards. he doesn't understand that wakskating is alittle different than skating  |

i think i found where rodney mullen does a gazelle flip in Globe-Opinion. right whenever the second part of his video starts he goes up and ride across this big red thing that says Pilots on it. then when he ollies off he does it. its crazy. i never saw that part before |

Yeah Mullen does them. He also does two of the back of a loading bay mid way through his second part. stussy, as i said before there a 540 flip with a 360 body varial. I didnt take much notice of the one frye mentioned but i guess it is. _________________ Llamas are better then Alpacas
