Talk:Wallenberg Set

The text underneath the image must be 360 flip, because 360 kickflip is another trick, then you would spin along with your board in the 360° rotation. also, wallenburg is a different gap than the gonz gap, which is located in the LOVE park. J-Ros 15:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

• Wrong. A 360 kickflip is a 360 pop shuv it kickflip, a backside or frontside 360 kickflip is when you spin with the board. The Gonz Gap was located at EMB. Doctor Lyles Carlton III 23:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• The directly above is true.

It's called Wallenberg (with an "e"). Moving to correct page. --Nichenbach 17:49, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

If anyone is paying attention to this page... what do you think about rewriting the run-on sentence of tricks that have been done, and replace it with a list instead? It could list the skater, the trick, the year, and the video / magazine coverage... I think this would be really useful. Unless I hear some dissent, I may start working on that. Something along the lines of the Rincon bleachers page; I kind of like that style. --Nichenbach 03:57, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Scootering?

I took out some unsourced information about a pro scooterer tailwhipping it. If he gets sources, does that belong in a skateboard spot article?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctor Lyles Carlton III (talk • contribs)

Well if it's an article about a spot, that doesn't mean it is exclusive to skateboarding. It's kinda weird but it would be fair to include other sports.--KoRnholio8 12:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The article is about a spot. I suggest including some video or photo material :) 81.207.20.50 (talk) 16:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

The proper name of the spot, as confirmed by both sources that this article links to (as well as many others) is "Wallenberg" not "Wallenburg." I created the "Wallenberg Set" page before remembering about the "move" function, and now I am unable to move this article to the new site (in order to properly maintain article history and whatnot). Please delete the "Wallenberg Set" page and move this page to that one.--Nichenbach 18:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC) Thanks!

Fair use rationale for Image:Chris Cole 360 Flip Wallenburg Set.JPG

Image:Chris Cole, a sick skater, 360 Flip Wallenburg Set.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Removal

I removed the following:

"More recently Tanner Wika (a skater from Fargo,ND) became the youngest (12 years old) to perform a trick down the set (an ollie),also a 14 year old german performed a Fs pop shoveit. Last but not least a 19 year old skater from jersey (steve vitale) inward-heelfliped the gap after 3 hours of trying."

-none are known skaters.

-there have been no photo's or video's of the trick.

-there have been no editorials or other mentions besides this article about this.

-none of them live near it.

-judging by steve vitale's footage on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unz9DCkkJbk), he seems nowhere near competent of that trick

I also think 18 feet might be an overestimate as it implies that each stair is six feet long. a reliable source would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.37.131.23 (talk) 11:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

also removed

"But a more recent trick was by Clayton Cagle, on 10/12/07, he is a bay area skater who performed a frontside half-cab down the legendary gap."

due to lack of sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.37.131.23 (talk) 11:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Please clean up

What is a "set" or a "gap" in reference to this article? The picture shows steps, is the reader to assume that is what a gap or a set is? Maybe the opening sentence should be clearer (...also known as the Wallenberg Four, is a set of concrete steps located at...). And how did this "first appear" in a video? Maybe it first appeared in a video on the Video Days , but I'm pretty sure it existed before 1991. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sedna1000 (talk • contribs) 22:09, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
