Firing Lines

[ttching]

Its all relative.  Three different tricks is a good place to start-admittedly the clip I posted was only two, but I rigged the camera to film myself, so that imposed certain limitations, and I wasn't filming with this thread in mind-especially if they involve different types of tricks like ledge to flatground to stair set or something.  Mixing up regular, nollie, fakie, and switch tricks is also good visually, as well as being aware of the camera with the trick selection.  I shredded my hand cause I thought the switch pop shuv would look better for the camera's location then the full cab and fakie front bigspin I was also contemplating.  I guess next time I'll factor in the roughness of the ground before trying that trick at speed.  I think that really planning the shot out in advance can polish most any of them up a bit, but my background in photography and painting makes me really aware of composition for anything visual I'm creating.  Finally, I'm really fucking sick of seeing 360 flips in every pro's lines, so maybe try something else to round it out.

Here's one from Sunday. I got another today, but I'm working on an assignment, so I'll post it later.

I'd say a good line should be quick and variable in the obstacles? I don't know, mine doesn't follow what I imagine a good line to be. Austyn Gillette? Busenitz? Or what about Zerred Bassett's line towards the end of Vicious Cycle, when he ollies all those street gaps? That was a good line.

Awesome!! I've been hoping for a KTG firing line. That trick was bananas! Get it? Bananas?

[killthegnar]

didnt make the cut for the gnarhammered video, so now its a firing line... also maybe the only time ive landed two ledge tricks in a row...

Thrasher Message Board firing line 2

[Hefeweizen]

Wow, I can't believe that didn't make the cut. Nosegrind lip was awesome.

This is probably the best one I've gotten so far.

this thread is gonna heat up now that the weather is changing for the better.

today was the first day we skated outside. went to this little park just outside of town. brought some brooms and a squeegee and cleaned up the last little bit of snow.  the result: 3 old guys in their mid thirties shaking the rust of their bones.

Thats pretty funny bailgun.  Pushing through the corners...reminds me of Wally Inouye riding his board in the pool like he is on a monoski.
