minty Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 By the looks of it, 10 minutes. The park is in a TINY little village in the middle of nowhere. I think the quality of graffiti represents the locals quite well. Great little park though, it hardly gets used because of it's location. You can go there sometimes and be the only ones there for the whole day. It has a great view too because it's on a huge hill overlooking miles of countryside. Many romantic nights spent their with sweaty men with their decks out. :-* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 That's a backside noseslide. Please don't argue with me on this. For real? I always used to get so confused with f/s and b/s grinds. Actually I think I get it for grinds, but I'm lost with slides. It was a frontside 90 into it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 You have to think about the sliding surface as the coping of a ramp, or the lip of a wave. It's all in how you would be landing if you were reentering transition. So in this case, you'd be coming off backside. See? If you were moving toward your back, you'd come off frontside. I know it's a little confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna get it down one of these days, not that I'm doing rails and stuff yet. I'm still no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knees facing away from coping/lip = backside Knees facing towards coping/lip = frontside thats how I always established it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to revert to my surfing analogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmonaut Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 ^ Skating Seattle is fun. I used to like going to skate Burnside in Portland too. That place is unreal and very intimidating. God, I miss skating so much. I kind of want to get a new setup just to go mess around a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
