    Ya I'm kinda on the fence about it. On one side, he's totally cheating as far as speed is concerned. On the other side, that is 1 big ass sw flip!

    I can barely ride switch so as I'm slightly impressed; come on, that's lame. Street League-lame.

    thrasher built the damn rollin for the gap contest years back
    its been used tons. it doesnt take away a bit of gnar from the gap. it just gives you a few more tries before collapsing in pain and exhaustion in your shot legs

    stop complaing, go there, be awestruck

    this switch flip is the sickest evarrr

    Interesting. Expected different from you. I'm not saying switch flipping it doesn't require skill and I'm not saying that the gap isn't sick. I just feel like it's what'd they do before the rollin? Just gap the first 2?

    for the record, most tricks thats been done there has been done using this (or similar) ramp.

    exceptions i remember are gonz indy grab (of course) and danny gonzales' kickflip melon. im sure theres more, but last years the start ramp has been standard for sessioning this set

    i'm sure somebody's always rigged up a way to get the extra speed,just the whole roll in sitting at a street spot...just feels wrong to me.
    i will give credit where it's due though,sw flipping that set is pretty damn amazing regardless.

    So glad somebody else remembers that shit, so sick! But yeah, they've been using a ramp setup for years.

    I never really agreed with it tho. I'm a fan of Forrest and that sw flip was fucking massive! The pop on it? yeesh! But I agree with what luft said, that shit is wack. Ive seen dudes clear it simply by getting a running start. Sure using a roll in saves a lot energy, and the trick itself is still BONKERS, but I dunno; maybe I'm just a luddite. I wanna see the exhaustion. I can identify with the all day struggle for one trick and working through that shit makes the trick more sensational......nobody's hookin me up with a roll-in lol. I think its just a conflict of idealism. My romantic take on how skating should be.
    Still buck nasty tho.
