So Close It Hurts

[Mr.42]

So I was trying to do this crazy trick which was like a popless toe tre underflip (we'll call it a Preparation H), and I realized that I might as well be trying normal tres. So I did.

The elusive Mr.42 tre flip video has to be caught, but you can tell how close I am to getting it filmed by watching this video: http://www.ramprage.com/forums/media/showphoto.php?photo=4403&cat=500&ppuser=4033

The full version on my computer has around 25 attempts and maybe 5 or so funny bails. I landed perfectly in rail a lot (which is why my body is sore all over).

I swear to you, Rampragers: I will get that Gal-Danged 360 flip on video. And it will be excellent.

Sweet man. Do them on the pavement completely, not into the grass. It will feel so much better to land.

It will feel so much worse to not land, too. haha. I will, I promise. Just let me get this first. That reminds me: one of my bails yesterday was... well let's just say I ended up with a 60MM wheel up my butt.

I can't wait to get smaller, lighter wheels. These things are massive. I also want a deck that isn't 24 inches long.

Here's what I got yesterday:

Ha, look how tired my deck is:

Strange... I guess they started making them a different color.

Damn. Dude. Keep your sholders straight when your doing it, facing out. When you do it, you tend to turn forward twoards the nose of the board. If you keep everything straight it will help your landings out tons. Good luck.

I see what you mean. Thanks.

Boom Shaka-laka! (http://www.ramprage.com/forums/media/showphoto.php?photo=4417&cat=500&ppuser=4033) Whoo hoo! I landed the second one a little stiff-legged, but that's okay.
