Trevor at Northbrook, Illinois
I’m in Chicago for a few days, actually flying back home by the time this post goes live. I went to the Northbrook skate park on Friday. It was a little bit chilly, but there were a handful of people riding. I actually met this guy named Pete (Hi Pete!) who was there the last time I was at this skate park back in August. I didn’t take many photos, but I did get this shot of Trevor with a little bit of board slide action. I can’t believe I got the exposure right. While I was there a cop showed up to give the boot to some BMX riders. They were ineffectually whining at the cops saying they should be allowed to use a public park, and the cop replied “If I had it my my, neither of you could use it, and there would just be an empty parking lot here.”
Are you sure that is not a lipslide?
What’s the difference?
tranny-wise you make 180 ollie (bs or fs) before you lock in boardslide. no biggie, however you missed your lipslide train 39 years ago
Kilwag isn’t quite telling the whole story there. I’ll let him tell it. Also where’s the pics of Gurnee and Waukegan damnit!
If the skater is goofy then that’s a lipper, for the reason Marek mentioned.
So a disaster to boardslide is a officially a lipslide? I missed that boat, I didn’t think there was a need to clarify, if was a R-N-R boardslide I would have called it out. FRONTSIDE INDYS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!
it’s totally a lipslide.. disaster is only when you’re not sliding… everyone knows that
maybe it’s a switch r n r slider to fakie…
You said switch to fakie hee hee…
poop on you colin. Disaster to boardslide… technically the same thing.
but it isnt a board slide, it’s a lip slide, it’s all in how you approach. You can both lipslide and boarslide a hand rail, but they are different tricks based on how you get into the slide. I can still board slide a hand rail, but I can’t lip slide on one to save my life….
now, if he had rockin rons ™ bearings shimmed to .320493mm spec’d out with hand dyed bones ™ (c) pool riders 62.1 mm toned out with an asymmetrical urethane base boiled at 65 degrees Celsius after diffusing it with 3.4 Jules it might have been a switch fakie-nollie to hangup.
…or say the fatties at Concrete Diapers!
