  #1  GAME OF S.H.R.E.D  Posted 05/05/2009 @ 12:35
Hi all...

Once again Subvert have come up with another wicked idea to get us all boarding together. I've attached the flyer for you all to have a look at.

Here's the deal it's called a game of S.H.R.E.D first night is 13th May it's gonna be a right laugh and that's the main aim not to show off but to have a good giggle meet some more boarders and skiers and lets face it remind Chill what they're missing!

You buy a normal pass for 8pm and need to enrol before the night with Subvert. On the night we'll all be given a chosen partner (by Subvert) where we'll play rock, scissor, paper, stone against to decide who gets to choose the first trick and gets to go first. They're gonna have pictures of tricks as I know not everyone knows the lingo. Then you and your partner have a go at the trick chosen and if one of you doesn't manage pull the trick off you get an S. If both of you don't you both get an S, however if one does they get to choose the next trick and go first. Every time you fail your trick you get a letter till you spell S.H.R.E.D then your out for that week.

There will be prizes to be won but remember you don't need to be a pro it's all about having a laugh and learning some new tricks. You never know we might even go for a drink in one of the pubs after that is if they let us in with our boards...

Sounds like a laugh, only trouble is, i can only just hit the small kicker. haha.

What kind of tricks do you reckon it'll be? I could probably land a 180, but i stand no chance if the tricks are cab 10's and stuff.

I'm not far off you in what I can do it's really just about having a laugh and trying to push yourself I mean if anyone asks me to do a cab 10's they'll get a laugh but nowt else

I mean if it's a competition to see who can spell S.H.R.E.D the fastest I'll defo give anyone a run for their money. I know a few peeps going and they're not amazing but just gonna give it a go, no one is gonna be forced into anything.

Any chance to injure myself in a hysterical fashion is always welcome =-) Probably can't make the 13th but the week after that sounds awesome
It's not the end that I fear with each breath,
It's life that scares me to death.

Sounds like good fun but it's nothing new just sounds like Rush HD's snow P.I.G but with more lives? and that was taken from the skate parks in the US. We used to play S.K.A.T.E all the time when we were kids.

It's a good way to push your riding

I must admit that I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. I thought I'd get an absolute whoopin', as I know hardly any FS tricks and have perfected none of them! But it was good fun, the ppl I played against were friendly and very generous with what would pass for a trick. I was also challenged and attempted and succeeded in doing tricks I'd never attempted b4.

Nothing flashy like back flips or anything, not that other ppl weren't doing them.

I will definitely try and get down to the next one (money willing)!

The whole plan was that it would be something that people would understand, and was directly lifted from H.O.R.S.E

The main thing was that it was fun, which sounds like mission accomplished
