I think you can look at it two ways: there’s tricks that changed skateboarding and there’s tricks that reflect how skateboarding has changed. For example, in 2005 Chris Cole’s tre flip down Wallenberg changed skating because it showed how big you can take that trick, whereas in 2009 Chris Cole back 360’d the same set in two tries, which reflected how far skateboarding had progressed in just half of a decade. Not sure if that makes sense but that’s kinda how I see it
Chris Coles tre flip was legendary when that part came out. Every skater I talked to about it thought it was the most insane thing ever at the time. Truly legendary
Dude. Great way to put it. Like I was trying to say in my comment but you did it in a much more concise and understandable way. I think "tricks that changed skateboarding" mostly involve never before skated obstacles, or bigger, faster than ever before. The "reflection" idea seems to consist more of NBDs to me. More than anything, and this is anomalous of both above, I think switch changed everything.
You have to mention the 900. It was all over espn and mainstream media at the time. The video game launched soon after and Tony Hawk becomes a household name. Those video games showed kids a little bit of skate culture. It introduced guys like Koston and Reynolds and showed footage from them. If he didn't do that trick at that time maybe things don't take off like they did.
I agree. I started skating about 4 weeks prior to the german THPS release and that game changed everything, it felt like every Kid started skateboarding. And of course everybody knew the 900. Its like talking about famous skate shoes and not mentioning the D3..
"You have to mention the 900." No you don't. the 900 didn't change skating. it wasn't something new, it was just a half turn more than what skaters could previously accomplish. the mctwist was a much better example
Hell yeah! I landed a kickflip down a 3 set once and it was, and still is, my greatest skateboarding accomplishment lol of course my buddy wasn't looking on the one I landed cuz it was like my 100th try so I'm trying to land it again to show him and my front foot slipped off and kicked the board straight up to my face and it hit me right in the gums and busted my gums open. Honestly got super lucky cuz I was an inch or two from knocking all my front teeth out of my face🤣🤣
Rodney has changed skateboarding multiple times. Daewon with tables and his Skate More part. Koston handrail tricks. Reynolds stair tricks. Gonz entire career.
U gotta mention geoff rowley ,appleyard,Chris Haslam, jerry hsu the switch god and Louie barletta in the convo for changing the dynamic of skateboarding and how far progression has come and that was way way back in the day and of course Mullen pushed street skating to an entire new hemisphere with tricks that people are now just being able to do but there a few others I didn’t mention that helped push it to the next level
It's good but I wouldn't say it changed anything. We already knew people could ollie that far. We even knew _Wray himself_ could ollie that far, from the Color video.
I vividly remember my brother telling me about Chris Haslam (who we didn't know at the time) whose part he'd seen in Round 3. Like "there's this guy doing kickflips out of front-board on rails" which we just couldn't compute. Add to that the kickflip one foot nose manny, the incredible tweak, the one foot boardslide, so many tricks in there that literally felt like "I had no idea this was possible on a skateboard"
Bastien Salabanzi's Kickflip FS Board on the 16-stair in SORRY. Just remembered being blown away that there was no escape from injury if he didn't commit 100%.
I was a kid of the same era, Koston’s tre flip noseblunt absolutely blew my mind. We talked about that for months when that came out…definitely showed us what was possible moving forward
Frankie Hill for sure. Also Pat duffy's part in Questionable. He opened up the floodgates on what was possible on big long rails. Back lips in the rain in 1992
Eldy took the works right out of my mouth. That tre flip noseblunt was insane and caused a storm on message boards when word got out before Yeah Right even released.
A modern one I will say was Kyle walker’s 50-50. I walked by that rail and didn’t even entertain the idea it was possible, but after he did that, my lens towards what’s possible in skating changed. Like I remember walking by the SD City college rail thinking, someone can do this, and then Alex Willms does it. I’m still blown away by what’s been done since then, but I’m not surprised anymore.
Eastern Exposures was also a game changer. It let the West have another street skate option with regard to style. It just portrayed skating differently, and made it more accessible, and in that regard it did change skating. Bobby Puleo Penal Code, any of Hugnagel’s parts, Quim Non Fiction, Donny Barley Eastern Exposures, Ricky Oyola Eastern Exposures. Those guys made skating more about style in the raw street. They did the basic next level, really well, with lots of style. It let us step away from both Virtual Reality fully tech doggy, and Jaime Thomas Evel Knievel, skating. A simple backside 50-50 could be the shit again. It was so refreshing.
Scott Kane and his Bootleg premiere at the Roxy on Sunset, that was and still a legendary part. My homie I started skating with in '95-'96 as well as Darrell I met through Scott.
f/s air Alva. The invert- Tom Inouye. Ollie- Alan Gelfand. Mc Twist- Mike McGill Kickflip Indy- Danny Way. Flatground Impossible- Rodney Mullen. 360 Flip 5-0 on a rail- Markus Wyndham. LA Car Wash Ollie- Cardiel and way more
The very first thing that popped in my head was Fred Gall at Hubba. To me his tricks really sparked more innovation at that iconic spot. East coast guy coming in to California and putting them on notice. Honorable mention PJ Ladd WHL part. Both of those examples IMO left lasting impressions.
After just rewatching "Yeah Right!" P-rods entire part I thought was game changer. People had been skating switch for years. But the way he skates switch and nollie was so amazing it was hard to tell switch from regular stance tricks. I feel like he was the first to Really make switch and nollie flip in flip out tricks much more common. As well as every trick/part Rodney Mullen did.
I wish they were able to show all the clips in the corner of the screen that they are talking about here (and in general). It would make me watch way more of their eps/clips
darrell stanton backside noseblunt and nollie back noseblunt on clipper was pretty next level to me. That dude doesn't get enough credit for how next level he was.
Stanton also had that nollie to f/s blunt down a rail that I feel isnt talked about enough. My brain still cant comprehend how you would pop that and then in air move all your weight to the other end of board while getting the board over the rail, turning it a bit and then sitting it down and locking it in.
@@CodyNadler That's my homie since 96 and he was the first kid I knew and seen at the time was what he called a "Dolphin flip." Kane, Stanton, and the LBC homies. Darrell and Kane were way ahead of their time. Homies for life. 562 represent!
You can tell what era someone grew up in by their picks for sure 😁 Not to give away my age but my two are lines if that counts: 1. Stevie Williams - The Reason - Love Park - epic line 2. Mike Carroll - Modus Operandi - line at night - kick, tre, 180, switch front big spin, hardflip (flawless)
Let’s go back folks. Gelfand’s ollie air. Alva’s frontside air. Mullen flat ground ollie, then kickflip. Cabalerial, McTwist, Natas wallride, Gonz/Natas handrail, Sheffey doublekink. And Daniel Gezmer’s gliding and turning, which is really the essence of the sport.
Some of the tricks that changed street skateboarding the most would be Rodney Mullen's invention of the Ollie and Kickflip (which paved the way for all the other flatground tricks) and Mark Gonzales' first handrail Boardslide (which paved the way for all the other handrail tricks) and switch skating (which paved the way for all the other switch tricks).
Jamie Thomas-Leap of Faith One of the biggest drops/gap for it's time and it signified Jamie's decision to leave Toy Machine. So it changed skateboarding on multiple levels.
Pat Chanata and Daewon made all those manual tricks in that Getto indoor skatepark. Stuff went down there in '93 '94 I never knew could be done (fakie threeflip switch blunt)
Chris Coles KF BS noseblunt messed me up, I watched the premiere of Dying To Live at DoS in Portland and everybody went insane after watching that. My friends and I were talking about it for weeks.
Young Ryan Sheckler. I remember seeing a video part from him in the early days of RUclips and I immediately knew he would push skateboarding to new levels.
I think there was somewhat of an inevitability about the progression of tech skating,Pat Duffy did kicky back tail bs flip out in 1991. But what those dudes like Cardiel, Kirtchard,Geoff Rowley,and Koston did down huge gaps and rails, changed the world forever
Natas Ollie grabs and first rail grind in Streets on Fire, everything in Shackle me Not, blew my mind, those two videos fueled thousands of hours of skating for us.
In the early 90s I saw Phil Shao, 50 the top rail from the corner at Fort Miley for the cover of Thrasher. My buddies and I just happened to make a day trip to the Bay. It was unbelievable RiP Phil and all the others 🙏
@@jasonstenson7469 REAL TALK, THE BANGERS TO HILL BOMBS THESE DAYS ARE CRAZY MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH SPOTTERS OUT THERE GUYS LIKE AT LEAST 2 HEADS PER INTERSECTION SAFETY FIRST!
A good example in favor of setting up spots is Daewon's 2nd to None part. It's almost entirely set up warehouse clips but still is so progressive and different.
I think lines have a massive impact on skateboarding because they show what kind of a zone skateboarding can be. I'd think of Barbee's black and white sidewalk line in Public Domain and some of Mark Gonzales' lines in Video Days.
Damn earth... Im about to turn 40 and I skated for about 20 years... So back then things were alot diffrent... I've had so many favorite skaters over the years but mullen was mind blowing... When I first seen him skate and then went back and watch everything before then thi gs just changed... I never looked at skating the same way again.... And now I'm a huge Andy Anderson fan.. But I'm a Jamie Foy fan also.
The trick I remember changing things was kostons nollie heel noseslide. My friend, who worked at the skate shop, called me the day they got the video. I was on the next bus down, cuz I legit didn't believe him and had to see it myself. Before then, it was always tech or rail skating, but koston went and combined the two
It's actually the chocolate tour. ruclips.net/video/PXxtLp9QteI/видео.html I was wrong, my bad. I forgot the hubba hideout back nose blunt was from that part too. I remember that cover had me memorized at the grocery aisle. I just couldn't wrap my head around hou proper it was
Mitchie Brusco with the 1260. Something so unbelievable and what seems unreachable, was actually reachable.. so amazing that people still can't fathom it. It's so phenomenal and unthinkable, that it's not even talked about NEARLY as much as it should be.. I don't think anyone will top that or even attempt it for quite some time. Still holds the record
Justin eldridges Nollie Nosegrinds on handrails. Also his switch flip salad grind. Not trying to kiss but just sayin' legitimately game changing tricks
When Tom Penny came out with is awesome tricks and style was a game changer for me and also I remember when we all waiting for Jeremy Wray new part to come out as expected to see some crazy tricks on big things
Jason Dill doing manual pivotanual in the photosynthesis video. Thats the first one in film and it blew my mind. Shortly after Marc Johnson was doing em in a video, and so many more taking it up. But Jason Dill was first
No question, Pats part in Questionable blew the doors wide open on rails, also Jeremy Wrays 411 opener was the complete package deal into skating as we know it. Thank you Rodney for creating flips tricks ❤
Little late but here's my top 10 not particular order: Rodney - flatground kickflip Kerry Getz - kickflip love gap Tony Hawk 900 Pat Duffy - backlip a rail in rain Jeremy Wray - Water towel ollie Tom Penny - Switch Frontside flip the Carlsbad Gap Chris Cole - tre Flip Walleberng Frankie Hill - Dirt Gap Koston Kickflip noseblunt Hubba Hideout Danny Way - Mega Ramp shit
I must agree. Scott Kane. I remember seeing the sequence and feeling like the acid just hit me for the first time. Things would not be the same from here on.
ohhh yeah guy mariano's pretty sweet part was miiiind blowing. Switch 360 flip nosegrind as his ender is absolute madness. Nobody has done that trick down a handrail ever since not even shane.
Your guys (show hosts) era was more of an era of NBDs. I think it's more on the money when you talk about people opening up spots that were previously unthinkable, and then the next few things to follow on that same spot. Frankie Hill doing big gaps. Gonz doing the kink rail with the drop in Video Daze. Burnquist on vert is a great example. But if I had to pick one it would be Salman Agah doing the first switch Ollie over a picnic table. Then basically giving birth to switch skating. There is nothing else in the history of skating that changed skating so fundamentally as the advent of switch skating. It literally ended several pro skater's careers, and birthed even more.
The dude in the Bulls hat ( sorry, don't know his name ) mentions Koston doing a Tre Flip Nose Blunt in mouse, Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Pat Duffy do one a Few Years Earlier in Virtual Reality? I wasn't headlong into Girl like a lot of people, and I HAVE seen Mouse but I don't recall what Koston did said Tre Nose Blunt on... Pats was on a double sided curb... Just wanted to point that out.
Kelly is abs brilliant and knows his skating like no other 🤯 (as he should). But Kostons nollie heel flip nose slide on a 9 stair handrail is exactlyyy what I thought of
Kelly actually got a fact wrong tho when he said Scott Kane did kf front 5 and switch heel front nose down that green 9 rail. It was kf front noseblunt, not kf front 5
@@nollieflipcrook actuallyyy… negative, The rail he’s talking about, Scott Kane did in fact switch heel front nose and kickflip front 5-0. He very well may have kickflip noseblunted a rail but not sure what rail you’re talking about..?
@@drewtatasciore7086 ok so idk why I could’ve sworn the switch heel front nose was on the green 9 rail, but it wasn’t(been a while since I watched that part). Either way Kelly was wrong, because it was kickflip BACK 5-0 he did on that rail. So, all 3 of us were wrong
@@nollieflipcrook lol oh oh …. Tbh I’m not even sure it was the same rail (although I think it was). But he 100% kickflip front 5d an extremely similar rail if not the same one.
for me it was.... in that order. .. 1. ray barbee doing his street thing in ban this. the flow. at that moment i fell in love in skateboarding. i just wanted to float like he did. 2. seeing frankie hill gap that thing 3. pat duffy questionable part, especially THE kinked rail and also rain lipslide 4. jeremy wray everything he did
Still waiting for 360 flip blunt 360 flip. Figured Haslam or Daewon would've had it but its still up for grabs. Sickest NBD for me... my trick that changed skateboarding for me is Jake Brown Fs tail front bigspin out in his Blind - What If part.
tricks that changed everything ...Willy Santo's Smith grind kickflip out ....Chet Thomas Hardflip revert ....Ronnie Creager Hardflip late flip ...Danny Way Helicopter drop , beginning of super ramps ....Tony Hawk 900 ....I think some of the most significant tricks ever ...Jamie Thomas leap of faith ...Jaws gave us the revamped Jamie type gaps .....these the most immediate tricks I think of
Some people/ tricks that come to my mind....Antwuan Dixon and his style, Ryan Sheckler costco gap, Jaws, Chris Joslin tre flip down davis gap, Aurelien Giraud

That last sentence hits hard. Can’t imagine my life without skateboarding or it not being as big as it is
@@lafemmedevastation Or the kickflip and heelflip, Rodney didn't even get a mention when they were talking about Plan B lol
"You have to mention the 900."
No you don't. the 900 didn't change skating. it wasn't something new, it was just a half turn more than what skaters could previously accomplish. the mctwist was a much better example
I think my ollie down the 3 stair at my local school changed the game (for me)
first try?
@@Dthesun 100th try maybe
That shook the skating landscape.

I remember switch flipping a 6 set when I was young it was the 1st switch flip trick I ever did down stairs and I thought I was omw to being pro

Both excellent answers and put into words what I couldn’t. Totally agree with you both 🫡
Daewon Song also invented quite a few tricks too. First comes to mind is the inward varial flip aka hard flip.
Don't leave out Natas. You can't include Gonz and leave out Natas.
Chris Cole, kf back noseblunt in DTL. I remember being at a locally organized premiere and the feeling in the bar/theatre when that happened.
That sh!t changed my life. ruclips.net/video/rX6xu98oq_4/видео.html
Ollie on flat, period. thanks Rodney
This is the correct answer.
No the correct answer is nailing a roller skate on a piece of 2x4.
Ya. Rodney changed it more than anyone
Alan gelfand
Rodney didn’t invent the Ollie 😊
Jeremy Wray’s ollie over the water tower gap
It's good but I wouldn't say it changed anything. We already knew people could ollie that far. We even knew _Wray himself_ could ollie that far, from the Color video.

We thought it was fucking crazy!
Hell yeah. I grow up on Frankie’s parts. Influenced my skating for ever - going big and jumping stuff and roll out going low…
We lost our minds over Frankie's Propaganda gap. That changed skating forever.
Frankie Hill for sure.
Also Pat duffy's part in Questionable. He opened up the floodgates on what was possible on big long rails. Back lips in the rain in 1992
First Powell video I had was Celebrity Tropical Fish, and Frankie was mind-blowing to me as a kid
Salman Agah making switch happen.

Jamie Thomas-Leap of Faith

This and Ali Boulala’s attempts at the Lyon 25 I think unlocked a lot of skaters mentality to go down ridiculously big stuff

I think lines have a massive impact on skateboarding because they show what kind of a zone skateboarding can be. I'd think of Barbee's black and white sidewalk line in Public Domain and some of Mark Gonzales' lines in Video Days.
Just Rodney Mullen. No tricks no videos that man changed everything!
Damn earth... Im about to turn 40 and I skated for about 20 years... So back then things were alot diffrent... I've had so many favorite skaters over the years but mullen was mind blowing... When I first seen him skate and then went back and watch everything before then thi gs just changed... I never looked at skating the same way again.... And now I'm a huge Andy Anderson fan.. But I'm a Jamie Foy fan also.
@@user-yo6um3jn5k too cool to say it Lmao, It goes without saying really, everyone knows Rodney is the godfather
@@user-yo6um3jn5k
I don’t think they’re being too cool, it’s just that Rodney’s so huge and inevitable that it’s like talking about gravity 🤷🏻♀️
The trick I remember changing things was kostons nollie heel noseslide. My friend, who worked at the skate shop, called me the day they got the video. I was on the next bus down, cuz I legit didn't believe him and had to see it myself. Before then, it was always tech or rail skating, but koston went and combined the two
You’re talking about The one from menikmati or another one?
@@DarwinBoys1 I remember it being from menikmati
His tre nose blunt down that hand rail is what blew my mind
@@Nealatosis great video.
It's actually the chocolate tour. ruclips.net/video/PXxtLp9QteI/видео.html I was wrong, my bad. I forgot the hubba hideout back nose blunt was from that part too. I remember that cover had me memorized at the grocery aisle. I just couldn't wrap my head around hou proper it was
Mitchie Brusco with the 1260. Something so unbelievable and what seems unreachable, was actually reachable.. so amazing that people still can't fathom it. It's so phenomenal and unthinkable, that it's not even talked about NEARLY as much as it should be.. I don't think anyone will top that or even attempt it for quite some time. Still holds the record
Justin eldridges Nollie Nosegrinds on handrails. Also his switch flip salad grind. Not trying to kiss but just sayin' legitimately game changing tricks
PJ Ladd changed tech skating
Flip in flip outs OG
Leo getting a shoutout was sick, his first love part is classic
Gonz’s hippy flips
Tony Alvas frontside air
Tom penny’s Fs flips
Rodney Mullen.
I immediately thought of Leo when I heard the question. He made skating big rails casually such a thing.
90 percent of his clips in That's Life were rails
You should talk about what parts have changed skateboarding, fade to black with nyjah was insane
Damn I lost respect for these guys after hearing them all defend Berra skating fake spots lmao
The courthouse switch flip manny, and my boneless back in the day.
When Tom Penny came out with is awesome tricks and style was a game changer for me and also I remember when we all waiting for Jeremy Wray new part to come out as expected to see some crazy tricks on big things
Jason Dill doing manual pivotanual in the photosynthesis video. Thats the first one in film and it blew my mind. Shortly after Marc Johnson was doing em in a video, and so many more taking it up. But Jason Dill was first
No question, Pats part in Questionable blew the doors wide open on rails, also Jeremy Wrays 411 opener was the complete package deal into skating as we know it.
Thank you Rodney for creating flips tricks ❤
Little late but here's my top 10 not particular order:
Rodney - flatground kickflip
Kerry Getz - kickflip love gap
Tony Hawk 900
Pat Duffy - backlip a rail in rain
Jeremy Wray - Water towel ollie
Tom Penny - Switch Frontside flip the Carlsbad Gap
Chris Cole - tre Flip Walleberng
Frankie Hill - Dirt Gap
Koston Kickflip noseblunt Hubba Hideout
Danny Way - Mega Ramp shit
The community collage kink rail closer on "No Other Way" by Kyle Walker, Is one of the knarliest I've seen.
Wennings part in Photo.
Stevies whole career.
Heath kickflip front board a handrail in ‘94.
Dill running down the stairs.
D Way on the mega ramp.
Round 2 blew my mind. It seemed to inspire ppl to not only do unreal tech and balance, but to do it on stuff, and bigger stuff.
I must agree. Scott Kane. I remember seeing the sequence and feeling like the acid just hit me for the first time. Things would not be the same from here on.
Owen Wilson doin a back nose glizzy
Guy Mariano’s switch 3flip to nose grind
ohhh yeah guy mariano's pretty sweet part was miiiind blowing. Switch 360 flip nosegrind as his ender is absolute madness. Nobody has done that trick down a handrail ever since not even shane.
Your guys (show hosts) era was more of an era of NBDs. I think it's more on the money when you talk about people opening up spots that were previously unthinkable, and then the next few things to follow on that same spot. Frankie Hill doing big gaps.
Gonz doing the kink rail with the drop in Video Daze.
Burnquist on vert is a great example.
But if I had to pick one it would be Salman Agah doing the first switch Ollie over a picnic table. Then basically giving birth to switch skating. There is nothing else in the history of skating that changed skating so fundamentally as the advent of switch skating. It literally ended several pro skater's careers, and birthed even more.
Kostons nose blunt was epic too hubba hideout
The dude in the Bulls hat ( sorry, don't know his name ) mentions Koston doing a Tre Flip Nose Blunt in mouse, Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Pat Duffy do one a Few Years Earlier in Virtual Reality? I wasn't headlong into Girl like a lot of people, and I HAVE seen Mouse but I don't recall what Koston did said Tre Nose Blunt on... Pats was on a double sided curb... Just wanted to point that out.
As a 12 or 13 year old at the time that tre noseblunt koston did in yeah right! just seemed different. Broke through a huge barrier.
Kelly is abs brilliant and knows his skating like no other 🤯 (as he should). But Kostons nollie heel flip nose slide on a 9 stair handrail is exactlyyy what I thought of
Kelly actually got a fact wrong tho when he said Scott Kane did kf front 5 and switch heel front nose down that green 9 rail. It was kf front noseblunt, not kf front 5
@@nollieflipcrook actuallyyy… negative, The rail he’s talking about, Scott Kane did in fact switch heel front nose and kickflip front 5-0. He very well may have kickflip noseblunted a rail but not sure what rail you’re talking about..?
@@drewtatasciore7086 ok so idk why I could’ve sworn the switch heel front nose was on the green 9 rail, but it wasn’t(been a while since I watched that part). Either way Kelly was wrong, because it was kickflip BACK 5-0 he did on that rail. So, all 3 of us were wrong
@@nollieflipcrook lol oh oh …. Tbh I’m not even sure it was the same rail (although I think it was). But he 100% kickflip front 5d an extremely similar rail if not the same one.
@@drewtatasciore7086 yeah he did kf front 5-0 another rail. It’s a 10 min part with like 80 rail tricks so it’s hard to remember everything lol
Leo Romero 5050 up the rail in Stay Gold forsure had my mind fried
The P.J. Ladd WHL was mind blowing to me. After that kickflip back shifty was my trick
for me it was.... in that order. ..
1. ray barbee doing his street thing in ban this. the flow. at that moment i fell in love in skateboarding. i just wanted to float like he did.
2. seeing frankie hill gap that thing
3. pat duffy questionable part, especially THE kinked rail and also rain lipslide
4. jeremy wray everything he did
Still waiting for 360 flip blunt 360 flip. Figured Haslam or Daewon would've had it but its still up for grabs. Sickest NBD for me... my trick that changed skateboarding for me is Jake Brown Fs tail front bigspin out in his Blind - What If part.
Pj Ladd and RG.. Game changers at the time
Danny Montoya nollie heel nose slide on the bum rail in feedback I think shortly after koston. Scott Kane was another early nollie heel nose slider.
Heard someone actually noseslide that rail at LOVE before Koston.
Scott Kane KickFlip Fs noseblunt a handrail , still ahead of its time.
Bryan Herman's hardflip
dude for real...he changed the hardflip game and made them look cool. i tried to make mine look like his
tricks that changed everything ...Willy Santo's Smith grind kickflip out ....Chet Thomas Hardflip revert ....Ronnie Creager Hardflip late flip ...Danny Way Helicopter drop , beginning of super ramps ....Tony Hawk 900 ....I think some of the most significant tricks ever ...Jamie Thomas leap of faith ...Jaws gave us the revamped Jamie type gaps .....these the most immediate tricks I think of
You should make a whole episode out of this, with the clips to show
the invention of back tails lol
Chris Cole noseslide nollie heelflip out down the handrail at LOVE for a Tensor ad.
would have been nice to edit the clips referenced in this video.
1000%
Some people/ tricks that come to my mind....Antwuan Dixon and his style, Ryan Sheckler costco gap, Jaws, Chris Joslin tre flip down davis gap, Aurelien Giraud
I think overall though we gotta go Rodney Mullen as just the overall most impactful
Lazy tre flips ain’t exist before Twan
Now it’s how everyone does tre flips
The DC video, mega ramp section
