Game of SKATE Transition round 5 - Rock to fakie

You knew it was coming and now its time to sack up.
It was going to be a tail stall, but guess what the set up for that one is...........

Here's one I prepared earlier...



Yes I know I have to do it again

Damn this is going to rattle some cages!

One of my faves and stock-in-trade. Love 'em, up to the nuts.
On anything up to 6 or 7 footers.

I have a tail grab variation that I may chuck in just for laughs, I'll do a proper one too of course.

Bloody hell did you do the add-a-trick run with every other trick you could think of on the end just so you'd have it ready?

And yes, you have to do it again.
Thank god it is a rock fakie though, anything backside was going to see us run out of ramp for the add-a-trick sub-comp.

It does however put us fakie into the next trick...

OO yeah could be a flat bottom revert required depending on what gets set.

I have a fakie to backwards fs 50-50 to tail revert lurking somewhere

I've got a mean fakie board to ankle smash?

Bye bye speed ...

Hope this will do , didn't know what the trick was till i got back from the park . This was just a gap filler between other tricks . Can do it on summit bigger if you like ..

EDIT : Now unprivate ,, thanks for the heads up andy

"This video is private"

Haha probs the only trick I didnt do in my repertiore on film tonight lolol, big ramp tomorrow lol

You have to come tomorrow now G! To film me

I've always thought the whole point of this thread was to a) learn what the trick set is then b) go out with the express purpose of trying and filming that trick.
But I suppose as long as most people are doing that it serves its purpose.

Furthermore: as long as the trick you set is something from fakie to help us out in the add-a-trick thread. Preferrably 360 RnR slide or similar.

I am re learning them mate, as in stepping up to bigger stuff. Got them on micros and mini's but now learning them on the big 8 footer at R-Kade

Personally I am glad this has been set as alot of MASsers struggle with them and surely the more vids the better will spur people on and get them stoked to beat the fear.

I agree trev , i was checking the website constantly before i went out , but nowt so i just filmed some stuff hoping the trick set would be amongst what i filmed . Not exactly in the spirit i know , so whoever gets the next vid up can do the set for next week if everyone thinks thats a little more fair

Haha, just when you thought I was out of the running I sneak in with this little beauty. The fightback is on now ya fuckers

And here is mine

and mine...


once you get them dialed they can be a fun little building block for the more technically minded .......

Big thanks to Shaftalot for filming me lol, wanted to step it up onto the big stuff

Just wondering if my rock fakie is gonna count for the set seeing as it was filmed without knowing what the trick for this week was or is the set gonna fall to Jase .
Really don't mind either way

Well, opinions are like assholes...

I suppose in times of crisis the rule could be, defer to the 'setter', in this case Ben G.

See how I passed the buck? Setter to call good/fail on posted attempts too, so over to you Ben.
I will probably film mine on Monday night unless I get out tomorrow. Will try for add-a-trick too.

What do you reckon Ben G does it stand or no ?
if no do i have to film a fresh rock fakie .... ?

I've only got one other transition trick in my bag!!! But it does start fakie

Well done everyone so far



Rock fakie's always seem to be a MAS achilies heel but you guys are doing 'em proud

IT STANDS.
You clearly have that one in the bag irrespective of when and where you film it.
Your Set, Sir.

Hmmm what to set ,, i might bust out a fakie to fakie 540 . Ok maybe not

Well.. come Friday it's up to you.. lets see what you've got.

To help out the add-a-trick devotees how about something FROM fakie? Would keep people doing the rock fakie to set up.
But would of course penalise those who didn't manage it for this round.

Totally up to you, we can shove a flat bottom revert in and make do.

fakie is not a problem .... simply do the next set trick switch !

from this morning ...

nice fakie carve BTW

I'll definately do summit from fakie and have something in mind

Wouldn't mind getting in on this add-a-trick thread as well

come join the FUN...
need to film the next instalment paul btw.. tomorow night at prime ????

Oh definitely. Got mine laid down tonight but tomorrow should be a blast.

EDIT - here you go.. once Vimeo has proccessed it.
Thought I'd do a few variations. Well, they are all strictly rock fakies.



Standard - up to nuts - tailgrab - fakie 180 in.

I love watching Mike and John do all sorts of little rock to smith to feeble etc. combinations at the WORKS, they look like simple little moves but take alot of balance and foot control.

Here's mine - not a patch on the tech variations being dished out, but the first few have a definite rock rather than the pair of just trucks over coping left on at the end.

I was getting all exciticated thinking you were gonna beast one out on the extension

Nah, that elevator extension and me tend to try to avoid each other - well I certainly try and avoid it. Maybe I'll give it a shot next time I'm feeling brave.

This round closed now... results going up as I type.

Sadly we are seeing a few people losing all their lives this round.
Next round may see a couple more.. time to separate the wheat from the chaff.

EDIT - another letter for Mick Erskine!? Although he redeemed by being the only person so far to do the BS revert.

EDIT2 - Andy, you forgot to do yours again? Gahh.

Didn't forget.

Fair enough. Get in early in the next one if you are still up for it.

Don't forget add-a-trick fun too.
