Hi guys,
I just found this forum. I like it. A lot of sites to check.
Familiar names. This is giving something to read.
I am a freestyler from Holland. Didn't freestyle for many years. Picked it up again at the age of 36. Thanks to the internet, sites like this.
Basically I am trying to get more people into freestyle in Holland. We are going to skate together in a couple of weeks, in Amsterdam. If you are reading this and you live in Holland, send me an Email.
I also have a homepage. A lot of photos which you have never seen! Harris, Mullen, Pierre-André, Jean-Marc, Welinder and more. Enjoy.

Re-read my post. I know who invented it, it was Yoyo Schulz. I was asking him specifically about the trick. I merely mentioned that the only other people I've seen do it were Mark Gonzales and Rodney Mullen. Yoyo himself knows of few people who can actually pull it off (I'm talking about actually rolling into them without taking your feet off the board, not a street plant). The actual Yoyo plant has never been popular, it's far too hard for most people to pull off. Most people don't even know what it is or even realize when they see one that it's different from a street plant.

The Rose Bowl Flatland Jam hosted by Matt Parks will be held in praking lot 'K', this Sunday, March 16th, from around 10am to around 3pm.
If it rains, the new date will be Sunday, March 30th, at same place and time.
Directions to the Rose Bowl and lot 'K' can be found on this site:
www.rosebowlstadium.com/stadium/direct/direct.html
Bring your own food and drinks. Closest food is a 5 min. drive away. Restrooms are near by.
Lynn Cooper and others from the Venice Jam will be there as well as other inland locals and friends of Matt Parks.
Venice was a blast and I'm sure this will be also. (see photos of Richy below)
The April flatland jam will be in Orange County some where. Any suggestons?
This is part of a Jam-On-A-Roll promotion to develop flatland communities around the world, make new friends, discover new talent, and increase the talent pool available for contests.
I would like to help who ever is interested set up a 4 jam series in their area. The general concept is to have a series of 4 jams, a month apart and around 50 miles apart. This concept allows some of the skaters at one jam to be able to make the next jam. This way skaters get to know each other and will be able to develop a local "flatland community' that will be able to plan more jams, contests, or other events.
There are now 4, Jam-On-A-Roll series planed. I hope to increse that number to 100 world wide in the next 6 months.

DUBkillER.. The flatland handplant/invert has been around long before Mullen, Gonz, etc......Those guys just perfected the technique and made it popular.

Have you ever performed in front of 17.000 people?
On a stage, semi-slippery surface; lights, fireworks, loud music ???
Well, we did give a great performance yesterday.
The Bravo Supershow 2003 was pre-recorded for several TV broadcasts across the nation.
We are talking about lots of teenagers (mostly girls though) and top 40 songs, but on the otherhand a GREAT opportunity to present Freestyle to the masses and a potential target market.
We were part of a group of trial bikers, three Flatland BMX guys and two Flatland Skateboarders (Ullrich Schoenborn and YOYO Schulz).
Our mission was to do a background performance while the band BUSTED was playing their first song.
BUSTED were nominated the „newcomer band 2002 „ at this show, so you can imagine how wild the crowd went when they announced that they were going to play later on.
The guys were performing in the middle of a big stage and the other groups were doing their stunts on the left and right stage, so actually we were not in the background.
It was an incredible atmosphere and everyone was cheering us at the end of the show and even the BUSTED guys were stoked, because they did nor know what to expect as we had not rehearsed before the show !
There will be several TV broadcasts in the next few weeks on German TV, see the dates below.
Flatland FREESTYLE ROCKS BIG TIME in 2003 !!!

Venice Freestyle Jam --  
Sk8Kings was in the house -- a little too late to catch the group session -- but rapped with Grogan and heard Pierre was there -- great feedback from the locals about what they saw early in the day. Lets do this again soon.

Bahne Skateboards
Stan and I would like to thank everyone for the tremendous support we have received.
We have decided to stay out of the street style board market and concentrate on what we know best. We have about 100 decks left, we're blowing them out for $20.00 each.
These will surely become collectors items.

Yeah, not only the Ollie and kick-flip, they invented the entire sport of skateboarding in Florida, haven't you heard? Nobody saw any pictures of any of this when it was happening because Skateboarder Magazine was published in SoCal, and no one in Florida had a camera...or something like that.
I also heard that they invented snowboarding in Florida as well.

I dont know if this will help but it may explain the origins of the "Ollie", Maybe Alan Gelfand didnt invent it afterall, It looks like some guy named Scabs invented it?

lynn, cool info on rodney.
just curious, who is the first to hit kickflip (new school style)? and when?
********************************************* ***************
hc,
I wouldn`t be surprised if a cali boy takes credit for it but I`d have to believe it originated down in the Ratlands (south florida). I had this move back in `76 that started from a 360% spin and lift the board up in the air. At first I could only bust a 180% on this manuever but after long hours of practice, I finally started landing the 360%. Differance from the kickflip is not only was my board spinning but so was I.
Then a local skatepark opened that year in Hollywood called Skateboard USA. Under the ramp to the main bowl was a little bowl with lots of places to roll in. On hot summer days, this was the place to be to escape the heat. Soon this other kid started doing my move but he one-upped me and took it to the vert.
Yup, we`re talking about Alan Gelfand, my fellow rat. And the move is his...OLLIE and I respect him for not only pulling off the baddest trick but also revolutionizing skateboard too.
Others where doing tricks along the same lines too. That`s why I`d have to believe the new school kick flip had to originate fron down here. Just a natural progression of things.
And speaking of Alan, he and I are still buds and for what he`s done, he doesn`t have a big head. Just another local rat.

More tips for viewing at the PureGuts Broadband Theatre (http://pureguts.com/streams.htm) -----
MAC users –– Microsoft makes a Windows Media Player that should work with your operating system. Just scroll through this download site and choose the correct one. It’’s free. Find it at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp
In fact, for PC users –– it’’s a good idea to make sure you update to the latest version for optimal performance. Current version is 9. You can find it at the link above too. Make sure you pick the version that is right for your operating system (ie Win 98, ME, XP, 2000).
Cheers!
