abrasivesaint Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I've seen rowley on a mini ramp in person...he rips like nobody's business. penny will forever be the king of mini ramps, weather he can hold the title or not, hes always stuck out to me as THE mini ramp skater. i've seen some people do some crazy shit on ramps that im sure penny might not be able to do, but still, penny.

MrChupacabra Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 The thing is Penny just looks sooooo much better on a mini ramp than most people, even if he's not doing the same level of tech shit as they are. I could watch him do frontside and backside flips for like 10 minutes and be completely cool with it. Look to his first kickflip 360 in that video posted above if you need an example for why dude looks so good on a mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrasivesaint Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 dudes definitely got a ill style of skating to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBchit Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 i think you guys have mistaken mark appleyard for tom penny in that video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Nah, penny has a few tricks. Second trick is definitely penny, not apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 In that miniramp video, what trick is that at 0:17? Looks like a switch 360 frontside heelflip. If so, that's mindblowing. Repost the link so you don't have to search. On the miniramp subject.... A lot of the tricks are kinda sketchy, but I like dorking out with techy shit like this. The trick at 2:33 is pretty insane.

IHATEU Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 yea penny is sick but some of the most clean and sick shit on mini i have seen is Daewon in Cheese n Crackers... then again that kid just makes everything look easy... smooth king.

ERIZENO Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sharpen up Daggers !!!!! One of the sales reps for my work was staying with Duncan a bunch and began calling him Duncle Dave, which I think is perfect. He would wake everyone at his pad up by yelling "Sharpen up Daggers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_snap Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 so, did you guys see the lineup for the 2nd battle at the berrics. real interested to see how mike v does since you can't do no complys or boneless' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChupacabra Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 There are definitely some names in that list that i didn't expect to make it, and its definitely missing some names i thought would be shoe ins. Daewon is going to be tough to beat. I'm guessing him vs chris cole in the final round. There are a few other people who will put up a good fight though and could definitely take it. I hope Terry Kennedy beats up Duffel. That alone would make it awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChupacabra Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 yeah, i was surprised he wasn't on the list. But then again, Cory Duffel was, which is a clear indicator that most of the people voting have no knowledge of skateboarding whatsoever.

abrasivesaint Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 went and bought a new deck the other day, threw it on and went outside, 20 seconds into skating i roll my fuckin ankle, i hate god damn ankles. lately i've been working on these back 5-0 to nosebonk the safety rail to back tail on this quarter pipe, and also been working on alleyoop back nosegrinds, and alleyoop back disasters to 50-50s. i've been on a big alley oop trip lately.

enigmatic Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 umm I dont know i always get weirded out watching myself skate. I usually skate pretty fast. I dont go out of my way to add 'steeze' to my tricks because i figure it just comes with experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
