One More Sequence Today Because Waiting Until Tomorrow Sucks

If you go back through the archives of this blog, you'll find a post titled "Josh Stricker is a Sick Motherfucker." Something like that, anyway. The point of it was that he'd done something never-before-seen—wallriding the back wall of the Banks out of the Banks themselves. It's a 10-12 foot gap to get to the wall, and you need to be going roughly nine million miles an hour to hit it. I got the sketchy sequence, and Scerbo got the footy (which, if I remember correctly, appears in the new Etnies video that isn't even officially out yet).

Now, late in the day of the whole Fox thing, Brian Foster started looking at that same back wall, only closer to the stairs. There was this little triangular wedge up against the wall, and his thought was to ride the back wall, then use the wedge to roll off. Two or three bitch runs just to measure up, and he was ready.

Well.

It didn't look like he was going as fast as Josh was, but BF flew off the bank, connecting with the wall at least a foot or two higher than Stricker did. He dropped off the wall—missing much of the wedge—and hopped back into the bank. Easy. Afterwards, he joked about calling Stricker that night. At least I think he was joking. BFF, man.

(Stricker, for the record, is still a sick motherfucker.)

Of course the next morning, when most of us were fighting brutal hangovers, Scotty Cranmer came back to do the same exact thing—and tailwhip out. Riiiiiight. (They at least HAD footage of it on the RIDE site.)
