    Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

    It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
    your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
    doubt.

    Don't worry about looking like a dork for diff color cranks. You ride a
    uni, lol.

  5. That video was practically all acid drops and long jumps....the jumps
    were impressive, but they don't make a video.

    The first stuff was cool though

    Acid drops?

    I liked the part where you jumped up the bleachers while people were
    sitting there, that probably left them with an interesting story to
    tell their friends.

    ride away

  9. How long did you practice before you could rolling hop that far? My
    rolling hops height is very very low and the distance is about half of
    yours if that, and i've been practicing them for like 3 months.

  17. i like the acid drops, i have never really seen those on a uni before.
    when i was watching i was thinking to myself, i wonder if that trick is
    named, and if it isnt it should be an acid drop haha..

    also, you look like a kid i know.
    thats all

  18. I've been doing "acid drops" for ages. It's in one of my vids in my
    gallery. I call it a caveman after the skateboard trick. An acid drop
    on a uni would be clearing something without hoping.

    Acid drops, Bomb drops
    These are slightly different street tricks but more or less used in
    the same fashion. An acid drop is where the skater simply rides off an
    object (usually a drop or stairs) instead of ollieing. A bomb drop is
    when a person jumps off of an object holding the board in their hand
    and then placing it under their feet, mid jump. Vert variation: A
    roll-in on vert from riding on the platform somewhat parallel to the
    coping, then rolling over the coping and dropping in. Not to be
    confused with a disaster in. The middle of the board never touches the
    coping. Popularized by Duane Peters who did the trick with an even
    harder variation: rolling straight in - perpendicular to the coping!
    Vert Bomb Drop - A drop-in done from above or on the coping. Stand on
    the object (extension, railing, etc.), and grab the board (any grab)
    and jump off and into the ramp, pool while placing your feet on the
    board. In 2006, Danny Way set the world record for bomb drop height,
    when he jumped 28 feet off the Hard Rock Cafe guitar in Las Vegas into
    a 56 foot high ramp (82'3 total height).

    ...

    Caveman
    A caveman like a bomb drop but on the flatground or into a
    grind/slide, it is simply holding your board in one hand, jumping into
    the air, landing on the board, and rolling away or down a rail. It was
    commonly used by street skaters in the mid to late 80's as a way to
    boardslide handrails that were otherwise unskateable.
