The switch pop shuvit was from Ian Smith, who also did the bigspin. Both tricks were in his part in “Something Wild” which is a shop video from our local area in Bel Air, Maryland. The shop is called Skatology Board Shop. The video came out in 2009. I filmed a large portion of it. Appreciate you guys covering his bigspin! 🎉 Such a sick episode. The 360 flip from Eric Kunmann was also in our video “Something Wild”. You can find all the parts from the video on UA-cam, someone who bought our dvd at the time uploaded all of the parts to UA-cam a few years later. Chris Cole btw tried the 360 flip before Eric but never got it, so Eric is the only one to my knowledge who ever 360 flipped it before the gap was gone.

@@PCSkate401 that bigspin was just perfect. thanks for sharing.
skatology on top. shout out john lol
Sick
That Ian Smith BS bigspin looks so cool
My favorite is the backside bigspin, its the most stylish exectution, the way he scoops it, the catch, the twist, the pose when he lands, the turnaround, its all so fluid and perfect
Chris cole,transworld in bloom,switch fs flip n bs flip is the best tricks ever to go down at the love gap🔥🔥🔥
Didn't look as good as Kerry kickflipping it
Thank God it didn't take me long to find this fucking comment. Cole put the biggest shit down on that thing without a doubt.
@@Sabbathbloodysabbath666 that shit was so fucking proper and such a fucked trick on that thing
I'm shocked that they didn't even mention him. Those tricks were the best and bs 360 too !
Switch bs flip would have been crazy
You know what the difference was between Ishod an kerrys pushing was, the wheels.. Kerry did it with nineties sized wheels
Ian smith… backside big spin with no recognition it’s absolutely bonkers
Ian is like a local legend in Maryland. If he was pro he probably would have gotten a lot more recognition
agreed
G.O.A.T’d 🙌🏾👍🏾
I think at the time he wasn’t that big of a name yet unless you were on the East coast. its funny because he did it and somehow everyone forgot about it. I had to show one of my homies the sequence in the mag because he didn’t believe someone did that trick yet 😂.
I never forget!! East coast stand up!! Man should of been pro 🙌🏾💯
No one is doing a massive gap on their own. Plus, you younger skaters, people didn't film all the time. People actually threw themselves down crazy stuff for fun of it. You would have to know someone with a camera and talk them into filming. The stuff I remember seeing but no one filming is crazy.
I’m surprised they forgot Kerry Getz’ legendary kick flip from ‘Jump Off a Building’
I think they did mention it briefly
It was mentioned, but they never showed it.
Kerrys kick flip was the first thing I thought of.
Jump off a Building was the first skate video I watched and my first time seeing anyone do anything down the Love Gap. Looking back it was probably the biggest kickflip down anything in that time era.
Imagine if Jetemy Wray landed his FS 360.
Hardest: switch backside flip
Cleanest: switch heel
For the time: switch back 180
Donnie Bianco did a Scarewalk, not an Airwalk.
Front foot off toeside, back foot off heelside is an Airwalk.
Scarewalk is much more dodgy but cooler.
Brian Wenning's switch back 180 may not be the most difficult trick but it's so goddamn clean!
Commented before I got to the clip, I'm so happy they included it!
Yup best trick
Dude I wanted to learn just normal back 180s after this and i STILL can't do them lmao. So Wenning gets my mad respect.
I was there for that!
I was there
was my fav skater all my life until i heard about him holding a gun to his 2 year old toddler and going to jail, wack as f
Ian Smith did that crazy bigspin and hes also the one who did the switch shuvit u guys where talking about... that bigspin is so crazy..
I’m glad Ian gets acknowledged, great dude. Also Eric Kunman 360 flipped it
Shout out Baltimore homies
Cole tre’d it but stepped off the board and didn’t roll away. It’s in an old clip with Kalis talking about it. Bam is in the clip too talking about it
Mark Suciu Varial Heel and Tom Asta's Switch fs heel are right up there imo
Those 2 and switch bs flip are my 3 fav.. how on earth they nut riding ishod reg heelflip so hard
Choppy?: ua-cam.com/video/hxnnKqWtMjo/v-deo.html
I’m surprised nobody has tried to recreate love as a skatepark
what a great idea, im gonna make the park for fingerboards first a scaled model :) question tho what city gets the park?
Hence the rise of skateplazas
Dats a dope idea
@@infinidominionI know what you mean, but I think he literally means the setup of the entire place. Like no premade skate obstacles (flat bars, many pads, a frames, quarters, banks, etc.) quite literally a recreation of the entire spot.
@@wasitworthit1 It could be done. You can find the original plans quite easily through library access. The problem is gonna be the cost and how much land you actually need. You're probably looking at easily north of $100 million these days.
I skated love park. I was brutal and my crew was brutal too. We skated it with some locals. Thats how it first was. You couldn't just go skate it. You could skate around it. If you tried to skatw without approval there was always someone "setting up" for the next set. When we got the invite we brought so many they almost didnt let us skate. That didnt last long because our older skaters infiltrated it. They had no choice.
Like this comment if you want to see Kerry Getz on the Nine Club!
25:00 Kerry has been trying to get on the nine club! He is always tagging you guys. Let's get him on! WITH Mike Maldonado.
I liked mine club a lot more when Roger was fully present, he always had really intelligent takes, he knew a lot of back story and skate history.
I don’t think Eldridge adds much to the dynamic to the show and his takes never make me think “ah yeah, interesting, never thought about that”. One trait he has that’s good is that he isn’t afraid to disagree which the show needs, but when he’s disagrees it’s not like he’s the voice of reason, rather it brings the convo to a halt over something that doesn’t make much sense.
Idk maybe it’s hard for me to like his commentary after he was arguing that filmers shouldn’t care about getting paid.
You guys gotta factor in board size and wheel size variations from different times due to changing trends, a 49 mm wheel performs quite differently than a 45
Skating Love as a kid of the 90’s nobody ever thought anything would be done over that gap. Just seeing someone ollie it was mind blowing.
Reynolds front side flipped it and makes it look small
Matt Reason ollied it right around the time Vinny Ponte ollied it. Also, Mike Maldinado kickflipped it wayyyy back in the early 90s around that tine also.
That bigspin was just too good. Absolutely incredible
Again we turn to Rog for confirmation of skate lore. 🐐
Time?
Chris Cole all day and he grew up/from 25 miles in Pennsylvania on top of it!
I'm surprised nobody's favorite was Tom Asta's sw front heel. He just makes it look so easy!
They did
I heard Chris Cole did that backside 360 twice. He went back wearing the same clothes and did it again. Is that true?
You can tell by the landings he did it twice. The ride aways are different. Plus people sitting in background in one angle gone in the next. But don't know if it was different days.
Willy Lavigne is sick! Dope benihana
Fun fact. Philly used Tony Hawk Pro Skater and it featuring Love Park and City Hall to sell them as a location for X Games. Then they used the X Games money to renovate them so there was nothing left to skate.
I am playing Session and doing every trick in this video as I watch it. And I'm making money...
yall gotta make your split screen even smaller cause it often gets in the way of landed tricks.. or put it in the top left or right corner.. we need to see the bottom corners often when you show tricks...... please and thanks ; )
Wenning sw back 180 was forever etched in my memory… too steezy and clean
I was there
Why have I never seen this show/podcast.
Brandon Turner would have done switch hard flip
Oh snap my boy Willy made the video! Benihana for days!
did it so easy too!.. lmao being the first clip too totally caught me offguard.. didnt know about this one but soo sick. first try forsure haha.. good times skating with Willy and the Torts Dreams/Rehab crews
@@werelyve it was third try - loaded up with a few beers apparently too 😅.
12:00 Ian Smith was also the one who switch pop shuvd it
Love to Jimmy Carlin from Sweden.
I feel like its an unwritten rule in skateboarding when talking about firsts. It absolutely means first on desciminated media to do it, not the actual first.
Chris Cole back 3 is up there too.
Thanks for this Nine Club Guys, such a cool chat about all these legendary tricks and the people and for pulling up all the clips!
Wasn’t the bennihana done by Brian wenning?
Donny Bianco's Airwalk will always be my favorite trick down the Love Park gap. It's etched in my mind from the 411 chaos opener as Motley Crew's " Shout at the Devil" begins playing.
That back big spin was fucking sick though.
Is it an airwalk though? I thought airwalk had to have your front foot kicking toeside, or doesn't it matter?
Yeah we used to call the opposite a scarewalk
@@skatechatham That’s it! The scare walk with your bollocks exposed to danger ⚠️
The leaked Chris Cole battle from back in the day was fire. Can’t remember if it was the 360 or 360 flip. But he slammed over and over and over and over.
I feel like I have a full on Mandela effect and I have fully imagined Chris Cole 360 flip Love Park too.
He back 360'd it and tre'd wallenberg
he stuck the tre flip but never rolled away.
@@JanoyCresva ah yes, I’m convinced there was footage of it too possibly in the On Video section.
Sheckler backside flipped it.
What video? I dont remember him doing that.
2:49 Its crazy how the ON Video footage is now older than the 93 "vintage" footage it was showing.
Switch bs flippppp
Tom Asta frontside big flip and transfer to the biggest gap between the fountain and skating over the stairs of Love Park in Philadelphia!
Switch fs heel flip imagining trying that downs huge gap is insane. I don’t even see how that’s possible
yo, i was there. Lil Stevie, Fred Gall were my boys. I'm from south jersey. It was a Sub Zero contest. I was in that contest "amateur" I ollied the fountain gap . That was my spot. I love gaps. Thanks guys.
Hey guys, I use to skate back when I was 13-17 and I'm starting to o get back into it at the age of 29.
The only thing I need, is skate video recommendations! Which videos should I watch first?
Back in the day I was a Baker/Deathwish and Zero/Mystery fan, that is to say I like the hijinks and stuff, but I also want to see next level skating, see how far things have come since the last time I was on a board.
You know all the tricks are mind blowing it’s just hard to really get the opinion of the actual skater who did the trick. Some guys do better sw back 180s than regular. Some do better sw tricks than regular. So like someone doing a sw tre could argue seeing it done regular and be like how the fuck could u do it regular?? When the guy who did it regular would be like HOW TF DID U DO IT SW?? so like they touched on the topic it’s all on individual styles and what tricks they have down. That’s why skateboarding is so fucking dope because it’s an art. Some master sw, some master frontside, some master backside, it’s all in the person and also how the person does it and lands it. Skateboarding is the best sport in my eyes hands down because no matter what there is a kickflip but I guarantee nobody does a kickflip the same. It’s forever stuck in my mind and my heart and soul. I don’t skate 24/7 like I used to but I still skate and think about it 24/7. I will die thinking about skateboarding and every single skateboarder knows what I’m talking about. Curt, out.
I'm surprised some people who were around then never did something down it. Like muska, Sheckler, nyjah, p rod, Ed Templeton etc...
Kinda random but its upsetting skating gets a negative view when it comes to city officials. I would bet that LOVE park probably lowered the crime rate in the area camparing avg then and now
Ishod first Kickflip down love is blasphemous lmao KERRY GETZ BUSY
Heres the reality if you were somewhat local... The best trick was likely done with almost no one else there... By a kid YOU likely only heard a whisper of once. And as for your early convo on sharing the park... Love Park was left alone and skaters didn't get messed with often... Till people turned it into a place to go... So ya'll probably think the North Shore needs no rank and file too then.
First off- I’ve personally seen Choppy kill some gaps at Burnside that were WAY bigger then the love gap. He was also way younger when he lived in Harrisburg so I could see him doing it.
He did in 93
@@MrDeege2491 I also vaguely remeber grainy footage of him doing it.
Here I am again. Alone.. midnight in NY... and don't really wana think about anything but skateboards
I love the concept of this show but I can’t. Stand Chris Roberts talking 😂 I’m so sorry. Even when he’s a commentator at skate competitions
I did not know this
I just moved to Philly in 2019
They buried it
I was at the Christmas fair
So sad
411 clip being shown? Kelly will interrupt and mess up the flow trying to show his nerd and tell everyone exactly what issue, minute, section, and what song was playing. He does this all for.....i mean no reason really because it even seems like the other guys are sick of it as well LOL.
Kerry Getz probably had to push hard because back then everybody rode 50mm wheels or smaller. Could have also been not as smooth bearings in his set up.
Andrews ocd must go off the fuckin rails when he hears baker maker
I couldn’t even imagine doing a 180 down that like at this park near the skate park I got to has like a stage that’s probably 3 feet and I’m like hell no I’m not doing a 180 down it
Choppy Omega in his day could ollie that gap with his eyes closed… he was pure stoke, did not give 2 shits about a camera the guy lived strictly to hype up the here and now
For sure, Chris Cole owns love park. Also, RIP LOVE PARK!
Look even though Jeremy 360 slid on his butt you known he can do that shit lol water tower
Best trick down the love gap? Why don’t y’all talk about the last time you felt loved?
in 2004 i did a switch heel UP the gap! .. didn't get it on camera though smh.
Shuvit flips are putrid, they were banned at my local skatepark
Chris it's not just a "skate spot". You guys act like you own the property 😂
If you haven’t been there, I grew up and skated Love park hundreds of times. You can’t understand how Large and long that Gap is. It’s Gnarly watching people like Chris Cole & Bam ripping that gap is Beast mode!!
Bro same, I remember when I was trying to ollie just the very last block, bc you had just enough run up if you started at the wall to clear it, took me forever lol. Couldn’t even imagine trying to do anything down the whole gap. Fucking nuts. Getz kf will probably always be my favorite trick down LOVE, Welcome to Hell was iconic for me at the time, right around the golden years for me on the board
is that first ollie of Vinnie Ponte in fucking snow? it looks alot like it but they dont mention it. even crazier to me
Pontes Ollie(love gap) was in a 411😉💪💪💪💪💪😎
makes sense in a way tho, the commitment you needed to launch anything crazy off this.
How is Curren Caples not on the race for SOTY 2023?
Someone should rebuild the love gap at a sk8 park
There's a chart that compares famous skate gaps, with height and distance🙃
I was there when wenning was switch heel flipping it. He bent his axle on that shit!
Ben kadow ollied it when the fountain was filled up
Is Eldridge always drunk or on pills or does he normally sound like that lol
those are two different bs 360s from cole, right?
Is a kickflip shuv it not a varial flip anymore? Lol
Switch pop shuv switch pop shuv switch pop shuv switch pop shuv
Ian smith did switch shuvit as well at 3:05 ua-cam.com/video/_tyFMC-8b5s/v-deo.html
Trevor colden backside hell flip ¿?¿?
Simon Woodstock longboard love gap
My favorite Kelly Getz hahaha
Is that Familia sticker from Minnesota?¿
Trevor Colden switch back heel!
Jimmy Hardflip was effortless!
bs flip sw fs flip varial flip big spin comes to my mind first
Your tricks could never be done again
Get Jimmy Carlin on the showww!!!!
That’s Philly
They let them skate it for a day
Bs bigspin was the best trick. Did it so proper
that bs bigspin so pretty and stylish damn
What’s bigger love or wallenberg
The ground is slippery af.
