BEAGLE Tapes: Episode 44 – Nick Merlino

Cruising down the Miracle Mile, Andrew Reynolds and Pat”The Sinner” Pasquale decide to make a pit stop at the Wilshire 15 stair. The two get down to business right away with a variety of heelflips. Andrew almost rides away from a backside heelflip and Pat almost stomps a switch heelflip, but rides over one of his fingers from extreme compression. A broken board later and the session is over.

That same evening, on the heels of Andrew’s and Pat’s session, Ryan Decenzo and Nick Merlino skate the same set of stairs. Ryan attempts a switch frontside heelflip and Nick Merlino stomps a switch heelflip (For context, Nick had asked Pat for permission to attempt the same trick he had tried earlier that day. Pat granted him permission and Nick secured the bag. A controversial move on both parts, but we will let you decide who was in the wrong for that one.).

After landing the switch heelflip, Nick considers attempting a switch backside 360 down the 15, but Beagle steps in to govern, and coaches Nick to attempt down the Redondo 13 stair instead. That same evening, they light up the 13 stair and Nick rides away from the switch back 360. Circa 2006 – Beagle
