KOR battle 2 (Grudge match)

Rado was pissed about losing to Evan in the first KOR so he came back with the first challenge to the King.

0429101838-00
Evan won the RPS. ShitSlashRef was present to make sure all was fair.

0429101839-00
Evan going for the throat to defend his title starting off with a nice deep end bs slash.

0429101839-01
Evan drew first blood even though Rado was inches from making it (Evan = , Rado = S.).

0429101841-00
Evan continued his assault with a feeble grind around the bank to barrierishquarterthings corner.

0429101841-01
Rado gave it a solid attempt but couldn't follow through (Evan = , Rado = S.K.).

0429101842-00
It might be hard to tell but Evans next trick was a bs blunt slide to fs halfcab in on the mini quarter. Rado blew it and fell even farther behind (Evan = , Rado = S.K.A.). (Incase you haven't noticed Evan is riding a 1% skateboard, true ride of a King)

0429101844-00
Evans next move was this lipslide up the manual pad.

0429101844-01
Rado who has thus far been getting pummeled, finally managed to not get a letter on one of Evans moves.

0429101845-00
Evan took his next move from the mini quarter into the big bank with a bowl troll 5-0 fakie.

0429101846-00
Rados dumbass thought that doing pivot fakie on the mini quarter alone was the same thing... (Evan = , Rado = S.K.A.T). Looks like this one is going to be a severe blowout.

0429101847-01
Evan took a break from his cut throat tactics and tried some shit that he totally can't do (showing his opponent a bit of mercy) and allowed Rado to go on offense and set this fs feeble down the rail. Obviously Evan couldn't try it since there is not bank going up to the rail. Looks like Evan is finally on the score board (Evan = S., Rado = S.K.A.T).

0429101849-00
There were a couple turn swaps before this, but the next trick was set by Rado with this 5050 down the hubba.

0429101851-00
It took some work to talk Evan into grinding this ledge that didn't have a ramp up to it, but he finally tried it and came through with a land.

0429101851-01
Rado continued his offensive attack with this boardslide to feeble on the bump to rail.

0429101852-00
Evan gave it a shot and almost landed this equally as tight boardslide to crooked boardslide! Does anyone else smell a comeback (Evan = S.K., Rado = S.K.A.T)????

0429101852-01
Rados next move was this lengthy nosegrind on the ledge.

0429101853-00
Evan gave it a good shot but was a little confused as to how to do a non combo ledge trick so he ended up getting the letter (Evan = S.K.A., Rado = S.K.A.T).

0429101854-00
Rado also going for the cut throat tactics took his signature move to another one of the parks hubbas. Evan requested some quickcrete so he could get a nice tranny to get onto the ledge but the ref wasn't having it. The game was getting real tense at this point now that it was all tied up (Evan = S.K.A.T., Rado = S.K.A.T).

0429101856-00
Rado had to dig deep for this one. Nosemanual down the manual pad.

0429101856-01
Evan didn't really understand this concept of rolling on two wheels but gave it a go anyway. Unfortunately for Evan he couldn't pull off this two wheeled wizardry and actually took one of the hardest manual slams of all time (it was hilarious, I wish I had video). Looks like Rado pulled out a glorious comeback (Evan = S.K.A.T.E, Rado = S.K.A.T)

0429101858-00
It was a close battle, but there can be only one King and this time ShitSlashRef holds up the arm of the youngest KOR in the KOR history. Congrats Rado, you officially love Riley park.

P.S. Incase you are wondering how Evan could possibly lose since he was riding an OPP, don't worry Rado is also riding one.

P.P.S. Don't worry the next KOR game will hopefully have a different challenger so we all don't have to watch Rado and Evan battle over and over.

King of Riley Round 1

The first King of Riley Battle went down today. The first contenders were Evan and Rado.

0426101807-00
Naturally the decision for who goes first was decided by RPS and the ShitSlashRef. Evan won.

0426101808-00
Game started with both contenders blowing it on a few moves. Then Evan came through with this wallie lipslide! The crowd was thinking "Letter for sure," but nope Rado came through with the land.

0426101809-00
Next up Rado hammered down this boardslide to feeble down the rail. I swear that's what this is... Evan pussed out and wouldn't even try it (EVAN = S RADO = ). Started to seem like this was going to end quickly.

0426101812-00
Then Rado tried grinding the bump to rail and sucked so it was Evans turn again. Evan pulled out the tranny guns and did this fs ollie to ride into the mini quarter. Rado kinda tried it but blew it (EVAN = S RADO = S).

0426101814-00
Evan proceeded to blow it and let Rado go back on offense. Rado capitalized and grinded the shit out of this feeble fakie. Evan came close but ended up taking the letter (EVAN = SK RADO = S).

0426101816-00
Rado messed up again allowing Evan to drop this bomb ass wallie.

0426101816-01
Rado went for it...(EVAN = SK RADO = SK).

0426101816-02
Evan continued his attack with this 5-0 all the way into the front bank. Rado failed miserably and took another letter (EVAN = SK RADO = SKA).

0426101821-00
There were some turn swaps before this but Evan came through with the next land as well with this launch up to smith the bank.

0426101822-00
Rado came super close but missed it. Looks like the King has almost been decided (EVAN = SK RADO = SKAT).

0426101828-00
Evan then went for the throat with this 5-0 fakie around the roller coaster corner of the small part of the big bowl.

0426101825-01
He ended up eating concrete.

0426101826-00
Rado now fighting for his life had to resort to his special move "The Krooks" grind. Once again Evan wouldn't even try it... (EVAN = SKA RADO = SKAT). Rado then continued is raildoggieness by attempting to grind the bump to rail again, but failed.

0426101825-00
Evan was pissed about eating concrete on his last try so he went back to claim his roller coaster corner to fakie! Could this be it?!?!?

0426101828-01
Rado went for it and came as close as you could possibly come without making it. It was a tense battle but the results were in (EVAN = SKA RADO = SKATE).

0426101829-00
ShitSlashRef showing off the new and first King of Riley. Good effort put in by both teams.

If you or anyone out there would like to challenge Evan to a battle for the title of King of Riley just let me know and I will document the battle and post up the winner. There can be only one king at any time.
