natural loop? i dont have quicktime here at work, so can you explain??

[milkman]

Very nice. That dude was hauling some serious ass. I wish I could skate bowl that fast. Damn....

[Skidawg]

Yeah, that guy was seriously hauling. Geesh. I thought that had been done before, but I guess not.

[CaddyDaddy77]

I sally around on a long board, no going anywhere near a park.

That's pretty impressive.

[FLEX]

That's pretty good .............personally I think the footage of Bob Burnquist looping the Mt. Baldy pipeline is much gnarlier

i've ridden my longboard in a park a few times. lots of fun til you hit the corners of bowls and your board is just too long to bend through 'em.

[CaddyDaddy77]

Ours is way too small, just two little bowls not enough to swing the Luke Nose walker around very easily.

yeah, that won't work too well.

the other sketch part would be going over rollers and having the board slide on its base while the back wheels caught up.

[CaddyDaddy77]

Yes, thus resulting in embarassing face-plants, experienced one of those on some "varied" terrain this summer

[trainnvain]

Judging by his response, it sounds like he's lost contact a few times. fuckin beautiful.

Someone please explain the difference between a "natural loop" and the traditional loop (like on jackass).

Is it just that there is not the inrun?

Looked sick whatever it was, and yeah that guy has lost contact a few times. "You gotta think about it."

That was hands down the most painful episode to watch, couldn't bear watching the guy again and again.

yep.

however, "natural" to me would be just using the loop instelf to gain speed, etc.

HUH? Can't hear you your boobs in my ears!!

I used to skate a Vision Hippie Stick way back in the day...it was a boat even by 80's standards, can't believe what boards look like today.

[The Jackamo]

natural - he didn't gain speed off of a ramp (like most people who attempt the loop do), but instead used the energy from pumping his legs when he hit an embankment to gain speed. then he tacked the loop. much respect.

[rightcoast]

didnt duane peters do that at the old pipeline park back in the day??
i still havent seen the vid...sorry if i sound like an ass.
