As many of you know, the 2nd Back to the Berg Contest went on a few weeks ago in San Francisco, and tons of never been done tricks went down the long 4 stairs…A bunch of them were super sick, including Chris Cole’s backside 360 which was 2nd try, and a switch frontside flip. Other sick tricks included an airwalk, backside 180 one foot, and a disaster on the last step done by Lizard King. Lindsey Roberston did an effortless backside heelflip down the big 4. Jordan Hoffert did a variel heel, and Nick Merlino did the first switch heelflip down the 23′ long gap. Perhaps the sickest trick of the day had to go to Cody Mcentire…the dude did a backside bigspin, which is one of the hardest tricks in skateboarding, especially down such a huge gap. Check out a video over on the exclusive sneaker blog where Cody talks about his experience with the contest and his bigspin at wallenberg…definitely sick stuff.

That’s right, this is going to be the 2nd contest to go down at the Wallenberg Big 4 in San Francisco. Check out footage from the first Wallenberg Contest from 2004. This contest is a pretty big deal; Phelps and Thrasher have been hyping up this contest for a good two months now…everyone is looking for the never been done tricks to go down…most likely this year we are going to see a few switch tricks…switch heel, switch flip…probably a hardflip too. So far we’ve got a kickflip, fs flip, bs flip, tre flip, sw bs 180, and a shuvit melon grab…thats all i can recall off the top of my head right now. We can also expect to see a battle for the first backside 360 down this set. Chris Cole and that new kid ‘Moose’ are gonna be battling for the first backside 360 down the big set…there might even be a little tension between the two skaters…‘Moose’ called Cole a Dick in a recent interview over on the adio site…I think this kid is a kook.
