in my head Kenny Anderson did one but it might be something else. maybe in one step beyond. absolutely could be misremembering.
I actually really dug the late double heel. looked solid.
I keep trying to work out what’s his criteria for which tricks get a repeat or not
I suppose he just skates until his cat shows up.
was driving me mad. does one during a ledge assault at 22:25
It’s a shame that it turns out he’s a piece of shit
I think it might be ones that he thinks people might think are accidents.
That and landing them as clean as possible.
This dude would have been my hero when I started skating. Love it! Real dedication.
The crossfoot things should be taken out though. I wonder if there are other tricks to replace or whether he needs them to make up the numbers?
Cross foot tricks are 100% legit freestyle variations though and Jamie is kind of a freestyler (I mean that with maximum respect intended).
Yeah but if you start to include freestyle tricks then that opens up a whole can of worms. Not saying crossfoot landings are not legit in other worlds but they don’t seem to fit with “flatground” tricks. BUT, you’re right, where do you draw the line? Jamie is landing these tricks, i’m just watching so his line is more legit than mine I guess.
Crossfoots just look shit though, especially in amongst the crazy tricks he’s managing to make look amazing and proper.
Without doing stuff like crossfoot landings it’s not really mathematically possible to get to the 1k (I think)
That was my question. Especially when he first started. I would hope he’s already got a list. I didn’t think he’d get this many.
I’ve heard for the 1k trick he is going to premiere a brand new, never before seen flatground trick to the world.
/ dramatization may not have happened.
There will be many in there already that may have never been landed by other people. But yeah, a new trick concept and name would be a proper icing on the cake. Or end it with an ollie. Forget that, just went back to check whether he started with it. Of course he did. pfff
He’s not running out at all.
Is he banging out quad flips yet or have they been done?
One I think
I’d be really interested in where the gaps are in the tricks. If you work on the principle that every trick has 4 basic variants: regular, switch, fakie, nollie. Then multiply each one of those by 4 for fs/bs/180/360 rotation and throw in another multiplier for single/double/triple flips youd have a possible 64 variants (of varying difficulty)
So everything from regular flip to sw bs 360 triple flip.
Itd be really interesting to see what ones get missed or if he does ALL the kickflips
