I feel like Barbs gets a pass on this because of the period too. See also people back then doing ollie to stalls on benches or curbs (a la Natas (I still do these and like to imagine I am him or even a milligram as cool when I know I look like a complete tit)).
As someone that likes to overthink things on the regs, I think skating has a bit of what I like to refer to as ‘mafia morality’ to it. If you try and follow things round and see if it all adds up it doesn’t. Just sometimes people have that ‘it’. A bit of ‘je ne sais quoi’ as the frogs say
What would be the most illegal combo someone could realistically do? Varial flip, Benihana, fingerflip, landing cross legged? It’d be hard but some insta skater out there could put this together, possibly, haha.
Shit forgot about Creagers Benihana fingerflip, that was legit as fuck, oops!
A benny is the ultimate party trick for any jam/comp. If I was judging Street League/Olympics and Nigel did a benny mid run I’d give him the gold medal.
Yeah, normally pretty easy. Sometimes the prelims don’t get put on there or they’re harder to find, but otherwise yes. Sometimes the ones on TNT Sport PPV get loaded on there a few days after the event as well.
Ordered a cot for the baby, during building it notice some of the fixings were missing and wife wasn’t happy with the finish on some of the panels. So rather than sending the bits we need, they sent us box 1 of a two box kit, which contains 3/4 of the full thing.
So now I have not quite a full cot in a flat pack box in my garage with no idea what to do with it. Don’t want to take it to the tip because it seems like a massive waste but I can’t think of another useful application for painted pine and mdf. Any suggestions?
