Bust Or Bail 2: The Ripper At Clipper

The legendary Clipper spot is about to become a handicap-access elevator. Lots of skate history here adds up to one epic goodbye session. Thanks to SFUSD for their consent. Spots come and go, but Clipper is forever. -Jake Phelps

I’m convinced, jaws is just in it for the hugs

🤔🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure the handful of cash didn't hurt his feelings, but I feel ya.

[@Jay-cn3js]

And that special hand grab thing they do

[@jeffg329]

I mean it’s a good reason to be in it.

[@SaintJohnSkateboard]

That kickflip melon is actually unreal. I still don't understand how his knees and ankles take that much impact all the time!! Thank you Thrasher 🙏

[@chrisalarcon17]

FP insoles haha

[@zackova6307]

Marcus Green He's taking all the impact from when he was like 9, he used to jump off and on the trampoline all the time

[@djmintyfreshful]

[@DYLAN-xz3xo]

***** ha

[@ojhemmiez]

seppe vandecraen did he do it on 1st try?

[@wsdamico]

That switch heel back 5-0 was a thing of absolute beauty.

[@hardflip]

that was SWITCH!??!

[@pazecs]

holy fuck that WAS switch?! IN...SANE...

[@NickVanzwol]

He did it absolutely perfect

[@kevstaa7121]

Paul fucking hart

[@williamkeeler2]

Grew up across the street from that place. Video does not show how BIG it really is. Jaws kick flipping that ledge is mind blowing

[@SKATEGRAFFDANK]

try the convention center hubba in LA shits adult size height grind or slide! steep too

[@chadgrov]

William Keeler I can sense it, his airtime is fucking insane. looks smaller tho ur right

[@etheth3134]

Me too, exactly about airtime. Killed my knees Just waiting him land!

[@PlaySA]

Most people wouldn't even jump into water at that height lol

[@chrisa8863]

@@jORDYTHEMAN1 I actually have a question about that, is it more difficult to grab mid air or is it kinda like cheating? Because I've seen several people supporting either argument

[@TenThumbsProductions]

That ledge is soooooo epic. What a send off.

[@rodneysuck6373]

thanks to the school people who let this happen!

and then JAWS comes along.

that was so ill

[@6947869768937689]

Daaaaaaaaaaamn. That Kickflip to melon was unbelievable. Been seeing people skate this spot on videos for almost 20 years. What a send off. Congrats guys, that was the proper way to show a legendary spot some respect and gratitude.

[@NIDEEPOFFICIAL]

still waiting for that bust or bail down el toro ;)

[@theeeves]

BrandonGuzmanSanchez they took the rail out years ago, nobody is going to session a 20 stair without a rail LOL

[@NIDEEPOFFICIAL]

they had a bust or bail in sf down a 17 or 18 i believe so i think they can deal with a couple of more steps plus it would legendary :)

[@theeeves]

yea but there was a rail too.

[@LiamCuthbert]

BrandonGuzmanSanchez jaws will just kickflip melon it and everyone will sit down. (funny thing is that Jaws actually already has kickflipped melon down el toro hahaa)

[@Grunglebunk]

And love park

[@wokejesus6501]

The form on that kickflip backside grab was unreal. The way he keeps his arms in sync as he swings them to keep his balance, without letteng them touch the ground. When you do that you push yourself forward and the board back slightly, so that you stay on top of it without slipping out.

[@redactedredacted280]

Why am I just now watching this?!?! Paul Hart’s switch heel back 5.0 and Jaws’ kickflip backside grab are my personal favorites.

[@thezbreer454]

Phelper (or Gary Rogers) should've got in on that. anyways that switch heel 5-0 was insane. Also, Shane O'Neill and Jaws.. nuff said

[@theESPguitarist]

thezbreer454 well Gary was kinda in on it if you count his face (50% lips) after Jaws lands lol.

[@thezbreer454]

theESPguitarist lol touche but i meant he should've tied a trick.

[@AveryNosen]

thezbreer454 Jake Phelps is 52, maybe 53, he would fucking break his body trying to skate that shit. He has already been there done that a long time ago. And the contest was invite only ...

No one ever talks about Darrell Stanton but he ollied over to front blunt the opposite side. Idk what happened to that dude.

[@samchristen7549]

Too bad it'll never happen/:

[@BKKgrind]

Bruno360Gamer I remember a whole SLAP thread about whether it was possible to grind the double kink from the top. Conclusion: Considering that its made of concrete, not steel, the friction would stop the grind around the middle of the flat-part, well before you reach the kink on the lower ledge.

[@Bruno360Gamer]

Man, all could be solved with wax... MUCH wax!

[@Yupyoubetcha]

It's only when you see Jaws do one of his everyday tricks at a spot so many other pros are skating that you realize how huge EVERYTHING that jaws does is. He's done shit 3-5 feet higher than this which absolutely insane when you notice how mind blown other skaters are seeing him skate. I wish I could watch him in person!

[@RonPaulRevolution500]

+Jesse Johnson Exactly what I was thinking. Dude isn't even that great at flat ground, yet kills it by having balls and rubbery ankles. Lol.. I'm sure that kick melon was easy to him.
