Sliding & Stopping (1660 Posts)
Topic Info
G-stop/Retro grade Motion
On 12/14/2005 jaybyrd wrote in from Mexico  (207.17.nnn.nnn)

Stevan/Tri,

The only time retrograde motion is discussed seriously is in astronomy and you say "When I am in retrograde motion, I whip-lash back the direction I came from." I guess your ego IS large enough to have it's own gravational field. But seriously ENOUGH!!

G- Stop
On 12/14/2005 Kludy wrote in from United States  (64.60.nnn.nnn)

I love that fact that one guy having dumb fun can mess with people like that.This topic whent around a few years ago so you should get over it.A wall, tree or car goes the same thing. You can stop by standing stright up arms out, by draging a foot, by sliding. My way is to grab both rails and putting my foot down. In some races just before the hard turn I will do that and not put my foot down hard, it really works for the guys behind me because they will check up not knowing how hard I will break. There is NO G- stop guys and girls!

Knuckle-dragging...

Don't be fools! Come into the 21st century and prepare to learn what we've known all along. Gravity can indeed work in reverse if you know what you're doing. You'll see when Stevan and I appear at a major event and shock the rest of you dinosaurs and show you what you've been missing! Fools!!!

you're forgiven, that was some very convincingly insane ramblings from you, what with the harnessing of black holes an all, i think people probably thought you were in league with stevan and co. its the kinda crap they've been spouting!! nice one, i just hope we can get back to normal.

Sorry Guys! (last words about the g-stop)
On 12/14/2005 Derik wrote in from Germany  (193.7.nnn.nnn)

Sorry,
but I think there is a lot of confusion going on here.
I wrote the story about the german spys g-stop invention. That was a joke!
This this guy Stevan and his buddy Tri kakua is one person. Its called a troll. Check out "NETIQUETTE: Trolls". I was bit angry about their writings and cursings. This is such a great forum! And with my overdrawn story I wanted to make a joke out of the troll. When I wrote about "stopping a free fall with gyroscopic movements" I thought everybody sees that it is a joke. Nobody can stop against the laws of physics. You can not use the gravitational force that pulls you down the hill to stop you.
The g-stop is bulls#@!. If the trol can really skate, he is discribing a pendulum slide out of a carving movement. Thats all.

Sorry for puzzling you!

My entire body is bloated and swollen after too long a session practicing my g-stops. Any remedies you guys are using to control this?

just a question about wheel what would all of you say about abec 11 88a striker wheels compared to the gravity super g 90 a 73 mm wheels? which ones slide better? which ones would all of you prefer to ride?

I'm a life time snowboarder and this is the first winter i dont want to come.Just started sliding this summer and im a full blown junkie. Has any body ever heard of or attemted a darkslide on pavement? i think its doable from a toe side slide mabey with the help of some handy dandy plasic on the contact points; its to friggin cold here (connecticut) so i'd be stoaked to hear of somebody else pulling it.............oh yeah is there any CT or eastcoast heads trying to get acrew together me and my homie "toast" are lookin to vibe with some local cats and put a community of riders in contact with eachother...... contact me if ur out there

im sliding some 73mm 90a gravity super g's. just got off some sector nine 68mm 78a. the gravitys slide much easier than those 78a's and dont wear as much. they hook up too good for me though. i going to a 98a next. as far as some tips; wear pads so you wont be scared to get hurt. and if the board wont slide, you need to go faster.

The invention of the G-stop
On 12/10/2005 Klaus wrote in from Germany  (195.179.nnn.nnn)

The original G-stop was invented by german spys around WW-II. They needed a solution to jump out of planes without parachutes, cause jumping on a parachoute was way to slow and they got shot. One under cover Nazi scientist was working on portable black holes and perpetum mobiles. He found out that certain gyroscopic moves in a specific frequency could create anti-mater. He devoloped a way that Spys could jump out of a plane and create anti-gravitiation by moving their limbs in a gyroscopic movement. They could go from free fall to stop in a shake of a lambs tail.
Afer the war the german spys hided in South America and some of them raised families. Somehow they told their kids about the G-stop, and these kids managed to tranform the stop from a vertical to a horizontal movement. The refined the technique and now they could create an anti-gravitational force so high, it pushes them back up the hill. That was the high time of gravitational skating in South America, but then came the dark age of military dictatorship and skating was prohibited then. Before all the knowledge about G-stoping got lost the last skater wrote it all down and in black despair. He has stuffed the records in a bottle and has thrown it in the chilenian sea. That was the last commemoration of the G-stop. Somehow it seems that the bottle has made it to a coast abroard.

Grav-Stops...
On 12/9/2005 Mikkoz wrote in from United States  (69.85.nnn.nnn)

I've been doing the retrograde gravitational braking, and believe me it works! America is hiding under the covers, playing wet-willie! I gound my G-Stop by accident in a video booth... I started shaking... my knees went weak! But I stayed on my feet, and what-do-ya-know... I wasn't going 60mph anymore!!! I do this ALL THE TIME NOW all you posers and losers!!!! I've patented this method, so I demand that YOU, Tri Kakua and your little frinnnd Stevan, cease and desist NOW from performing any gravitational stops, or I'll sue you blind. I OWN the G-Stop dude!!!!!!! Yer history!
