In the summer of 2024, Lukas and I went on a mission. He told me about this spot in Zurich where, back in the day,
@luckaempfen did a Smith stall and how he’d always wanted to skate it too. I knew the spot, and honestly, it’s a ridiculous thing to skate.
So this summer, Lukas was hyped to finally check it out. The first idea was to hit it from the bottom with a wooden plate, but that felt almost impossible. Instead, he decided to try a roll-on tailslide. While we were already stoked on the landed trick and the shot, Lukas realized he’d slightly over-rotated one try and ended up in a switch crooks.
A few days later, he went to the skatepark, learned a roll-on 180 switch crooks and the following weekend, we went back to the spot. It was a mental and physical battle. But in the end, the fight (and the pain) paid off. Lukas landed it. One of the few who’s ever skated this spot.
Thanks for the trust,
@lukasmaeder.ch . That one was well earned. 😤🤝
