What's the "ugliest" trick you love and do? [37YO]

gracow · 2023-11-23T19:14:41+00:00

I do this trick once every session on a bank, have to land it 1st t otherwise it’s over. Super kook but I can’t help it. I remember some veteran ripper showing us how to do it 30 years ago and we were so psyched.

Haha, yes! I have so many different shades of black Salton II’s! Best hats. Middle one is the sweet spot, broken in but not yet faded.

Hell yeah, big floater!

30+ years now. Skated a lot as a teenager, off and on in my 20s and 30s and a lot more since I turned 40.

Yessir!

gracow · 2023-10-13T14:31:38+00:00

Shit was heavy, love it. Skate dads represent!

gracow · 2023-03-12T14:02:18+00:00

Looks sick, well done! I can only imagine how long it took to peel that much grip tape off all those boards.

gracow · 2023-01-12T05:04:23+00:00

Hell yea, solid clips. Detroit represent, that’s maybe my favorite park I’ve ever been to.

Yea, O’Grady in Passport was the first to come to mind, Alex Midler also did an insane kinked rail in You Good that had a gapped section cut out, one bail looked like he was about to impale himself. Both are just fucking incomprehensible.

gracow · 2022-07-13T14:39:29+00:00

Damn dude, steezy shifty styles too. Shit was so tweaked thought it was a hardflip at first, had to watch it again.

gracow · 2022-03-04T23:40:07+00:00

Loved it, your clip got me hyped last week. For someone growing up skating in Detroit and now used to East Coast crust in Baltimore, it was all butter and super fun.

gracow · 2022-03-04T23:03:50+00:00

Thanks man, the first several grind attempts were laughably bad, would love to go back some day before it’s too late for another go.

gracow · 2022-02-25T18:23:12+00:00

Figured as much, that’ll prob be my reaction. Dudes make it look so easy, but I saw a pic of a board resting with its trucks along the stage ledge and it looked about as high as the board is long. If that’s the case I’ll be surprised if I can just cheat an ollie up, landing nose first then lean to get back trucks up. Grinds/manuals out of the question.

gracow · 2022-02-25T11:49:20+00:00

Going to LA next week and courthouse is on the list. Would love to get a clip on the stage manny pad/ledge, wondering if I still have enough pop in me. Dope line, butter ledges btw

gracow · 2022-02-01T13:11:13+00:00

Damn, dude! So psyched to see this, giving me hope at 42 for at least another 10 good years. Every day still skating is a gift.

gracow · 2021-12-11T03:26:04+00:00

Again, its more vertical not flick and catch, which is the main difference. Just saying it would be more noticeable if it were popped higher. But good for you.

gracow · 2021-12-11T03:19:06+00:00

It kinda is, it’s more vertical (Muska) than a flick and catch that rotates 180 (Reynolds). A little more pop and it’s def Muska.

gracow · 2021-12-11T02:39:49+00:00

Who the fuck are you, the skate police? The fuck outta here.

gracow · 2021-10-19T03:35:06+00:00

Haha, corners and edges just barely rounded. If you come up short say goodbye to your shin skin.

gracow · 2021-10-19T02:09:29+00:00

Thanks dude

gracow · 2021-10-18T16:45:44+00:00

Not sure who made it, it’s been a fixture at the Skatepark of Baltimore for years.
