I guess the OGs called it "unskateables." interesting.
I personally think UGs feel very uncomfortable. I can't do it so I don't bother.
yeah, when i first discovered them I called them "unskateables". After i put out my video and became part of the community at EA i heard that others were calling them stuff like "ungrindables" or "physics grinds". "Ungrindables" kind of stuck as the name for it in the community. Like "popless", "double grinds", ect "
If this community was less badass people might still be trying to figure them out..
but we share everything..
like a fluckin family.
oh man i miss the UG's in that xgames park - such a great bunch of set ups
i'm not sure, but i think UG's in skate 1 were more 'free' than in skate 3 - a lot of the time in skate 3 the pop-out of a grind (mostly UG crooks) is overtly massive - dont remember ever having that problem in skate 1. Again though, that's just another challenge to overcome :-)
The satisfaction value of UG's is +1000
UG's are worth my time and patience. When i get bored doing same old grinds, I just look for something ungrindable, It's much more challenging imo
