I know who Cliff Coleman is, but I didn’t know the proper definition of the Coleman slide.

Short board vs. longboard? How about skateboard?

what downhill slider here put themselves ahead of any other kind of skating?

also why wouldnt i point out that adam now rides for us, rayne got props why shouldnt we? we’re proud of adam.

and as for coleman. hey, he rides for us too. wanna hear the history of the coleman as cliff himself tells it? maybe YOU will learn something… a coleman is a bertleman at speed, and a bertleman is a stationaruy coleman. cliff was such a fan of bertleman’s he always referred to both as a bert, but when the 2 met they had such respect for each other they started calling the trick by the others name. bertleman refers to it as a coleman, cliff refers to it as a bert. and yeah, neither is a layback.

maybe you still dont get it but its not skateboard vs longboard. we skate all kinds of boards and structures all different ways and respect anyone who skates anything. hell my slide boards are often pool shapes ive cut down. 30.5 x 8.5 with a 14.5 WB

it may be your opinion that the roof stunt was mediocre, but at least adam did something different, not just skate the same bench/pool/stairs the same way as everyone else.

thanks again s’n'a… now wheres my june ebay watch :) i need my monthly fix!

Besides the pipe, there's every type of stairs, ledges, steel benches, bank to ledges,curved ledge, bank to canadian barrier, banked retaining walls over double sets imaginable. As well as the roof of the stadium. I was told by my friends up there that no one cared about skating there because the whole complex cost millions and is falling apart. Their kid's kids will still be paying it off.</p> The Montreal Olympic Stadium is by far on of the best skate spots I have visited in my travels.

Let me clue you in fool. A Bertleman slide is not a Coleman slide and a Coleman is not a Bertleman and neither one of them is a layback slide.

I've read your post twice trying to understand it, but cannot figure out what the hell you are mad about, or what the hell your point is. Kilwag found a picture he thought was interesting and he posted it. No ulterior motives, that's it. If you have some light to shed, then do so, but do it in a less cryptic and less belligerent manner please.</p> Um, what the hell are you talking about?
