well, i went to skate with some "pro ang-mohs "yesterday and this is what i can tell
a) first of all, they are undeniably more tech than us, They are soo good at switchups.....
check this out ok.....
true-spin topside soyale to topside pornstar to alley-opp mistrial to alley-opp topsoul 360 out
this was by a skater named shane
b)next up is the fact they can spin out of huge gaps
a flat 540 down a 24 stair set, believe me the gap was huge....at least a 12 foot drop.The guy proceeded to cab 540 it the next time he tried it.
c)hand-rails are crap to them man!......name it and they'll do it....true spins onto any alley-opp trick...
they seem to dig unnatural full cabs nowadays..
and yeah there's a guy who can pull a bio 720...
its a little weird and looks more like a corkscrew,
flat-spins a passe' here...it seems .....they are going back to backflip 180s and bio....
I saw all these in one day of skating with this so-called pros....and it seems this guys are not even on the best lists yet.....seems there's this mythical person named Woody and Chris who skate for K2 uk team....and they are way sicker....well, what can we malaysians do to compare man......yeah.....anyone there who can do seth slides to darkside grinds yet?.....whats our best guy up to man....?...ahhahahahahhahaa.....you tell me...

one thing about english skaters... they either skate a gap or a rail or park.
nothing else.
i found this ledge thing which was a slope to flat to gap to another ledge, like shit you dream of skating and they didnt want to skate it!
and all they do is like skate one rail for 4 years, master it, like 20 switch-ups, go to the imyta, skate a rail thats a little different and just about do a soul...
and frickin english skaters, if fuckin shima latimer or sagona isnt doing it they dont do it!
and they are fucking pathetic at ledges, and maybe eugene skated with a different crowd but the guys i skated with were shit ass scared of a 12 stair gap...
and FINALLY!!! if an english kid tell you he can do something good, and you havent seen it, he cant do that shit!! they are a country of compulsive liars!!!
they talk bout the shit they do so much they hardly have time to do it!!!

well, g...u have a point there they are kinda on the not very creative side....and wait....there's more i forgot to tell you guys...i am talking about only a select few english skaters...well, the rest are ermmmm....not so great on street...in my opinion, i figure that they get so good at what they do because they are so specialised,
they either go for park or street....its like if ur a street skater and you skate park...ur immediately labelled a park rat.....i mean what's the deal with that man??
besides the pro's are kinda snobbish...they are like, i can do this so i don't have to skate with you if you don't
i mean of course there are the nice ones...but those are rare and far between...well, the skate culture back home is way nicer and warmer...its really competitive here, i guess you tend to push urself harder here...back ..i've learned quite a bit here...especially on rails and spins.....i can safely say i can backside nugen the kinked rail in kj as we have a similar one here...maybe not as sticky...but bout the same length..
well, cheers dudes..and roll on!
