The difference between not landing a trick and not making a home run is that people have made home runs before, but these skaters were attempting stuff that had never been done, and maybe wasn't even possible. That takes a lot of courage to attempt, and that alone is respectable. Another great video!
It doesn't even take anything away from the attempt if someone comes along and makes it. Seeing Jaws struggle at Lyon 25 just made Ali's hungover attempts even more impressive to me. That fact that he made it proves Ali right, he knew it was possible, even when other pros called him insane for even trying such a ridiculous thing.
I've seen (I'm sure every skater has seen) gaps and stuff that would be bad ass but are most likely impossibilities. But if someone tried one of those spots and didn't land it, I would still be impressed.
I remember we went to the leap of faith two days after thrill of it all came out & looked at it. We skated that school all the time & never even looked at that gap because it was so far beyond what we thought was even possible. That gap looked like suicide at the time.
Milton Martinez broke his leg trying that kickflip into the carwash bank and then went back years later, got the clip, which ended up being trick of the year and he was named SOTY. I think that proves Chris Cole’s point about Jamie Thomas and the Leap of Faith
Nah, yea that definitely counts as a make in my book, he landed it and rolled away, he didn’t land and stick and fly off his board, he rolled away for a sec, that definitely counts 100%
Leap of Faith was so insane when I first saw it on VHS. I had like 30 skate videos on VHS back in the day. One year for spring clean up, I actually tossed all my old VHS tapes I put them out on the curb, IDK why I think I got talked into it from my GF. Anyway I had all these old rare VHS skate videos like "Love Child" "Plan B Virtual reality" Toy Machine "welcome to hell" "Jump off a building" "Heavy Metal" I had a ton. I saw this dad and his son going through the stuff people put out for the spring clean up, and the dad's face lit up, and they took all those skate videos, and that made me extremely happy.
That Heath Kirchart lipslide is burned in my brain. But really, that whole part is legendary, along with the song. Crazy no one else has stepped up to that rail.
@@BulletProofBacon Easy to troll a geezer, haha. Get back to me when you've been skating for over 4 decades. Keep ripping whippersnappers. My body is toast.
There’s also a case of where the fail is more famous than the make. Josh Casper’s huge drop from Osiris’ The Storm. Everyone remembers the attempt, very few people know he actually landed it later.
6:31 "taking years off of your skateboarding career and your body just trying one trick". That seems so obvious but I never really thought about it that way.
It's the unknown and when the impossible becomes possible, it just blows every skaters mind! And that's the core of skating I reckon because that's why it has such rad progression.
I still remember getting Sorry on VHS,and bringing it to my friends house. A bunch of us watched it for the first time in his basement, and when Ali tried the 25, we freaked out. I've never experienced another moment like that, where all of us just jumped up and screamed, it was pandemonium! It just seemed so far past what was possible. I still remember my friend telling me about Kircharts kickflip, before seeing it myself. Those guys just operated on another level of existence.
@@l.j.i He *quite obviously* meant that he understood Chris' feeling about it. Chris' tone was somewhat bitter, indicating the struggle he went through while trying it, as well as the frustration of coming so close, but failing to roll away cleanly. Ya folla?
Legend has it Chris' robbery is why the set is locked up behind bars now. Oh and as for anybody lying to themselves saying it counted because his truck warped/broke, I hope you understand how ridiculous that sounds -- by that logic Jamie landed the LoF and Ali landed the Lyon 25 before Jaws. Chris himself doesn't count it, but (according to a recent interview that iirc is on this channel) he was satisfied enough to know that he COULD'VE landed it, and that if he were to go back and pave over the bumpers/pop open the gate today it would just be to satisfy fans. The El Toro tre is still up for grabs, and (I think largely due to Chris' attempts) it's an inevitable matter of time before someone rolls away with it - and they won't be considered the 2nd person to do it either.
@@storied_skateboarding Just wanted to take a second to tell you guys that I sincerely appreciate what you have been doing here. I know I was giving yall shit early on when over 50% over yalls uploads were about 360 flips haha but it's all love. It's really cool getting not just general stories, but getting into the real nuts & bolts (no pun intended) behind so many legendary pieces of footage. You guys are filling in massive blanks for us fans here.
When you learn about the other dude that tried the Leap of Faith and absolute tore up his leg, it makes Jamie Thomas walking away from it just that much more legendary.
I feel like leap of faith is the most famous but Heath Kirchart’s kickflip has got to be my favorite. I also love when he lip slides the rail and just demolishes the board
I feel like at the time I remember the leap of faith being unbelievable, that someone tried that. But tbh looking back now, it really isn't the greatest trick never landed. It's insane but I know plenty of skaters that could attempt that. I've seen someone attempt something very similar on east Coast And now it's not the highest level ollied. He gets a lot of props for starting the whole gnarly trend for sure, he's the original but unfortunately for him he was far surpassed. He did a lot of buck stuff but it the tricks didn't age well. His parts did but tricks not. It's a trick that many skaters who are off one would think it could be tried. So idk him claiming the most insane trick almost done, is a little far fetched. It was memorable, it won't be in the future
This is so true. What most people don't realize about skateboarding is how scary it actually is. Even ollieing down your first set of 2 stairs or dropping in on a 4 foot quarter pipe is SCARY at first! It's such a psychological battle to get that one attempt where you truly commit and go for it.
Haters gonna hate 😂 probably hating cause you broke & not motivated & everything he says offends you most likely cause you are the epitome of what he talks about 😂
Richard King’s attempt on the leap of faith was way gnarlier. I was his roommate and he spent months on crutches. But we still watched Toy Machine and Zero videos every day before heading out to skate. A true underground legend! Check his meeting with Thomas.
I like the idea of having a slam ending your part as being a cliffhanger 😅. Like watching Elissa in welcome to hell, did she go back or was that game over?
Able to walk away, hence legendary. Lots of big stuff like this doesn't get famous because guys ended careers. This was a cool comp, great memories of the old skate vids.
Yeah bro,best topic for vid!!! And Soo Tru,theres always been those spots where legends were made trying them,Made us all psyched that it was even considered possible and what pushed limits.trips me out how(I'm not from us) we all tried shot and got or failed,usually after mean day landing Trix but seeing the ,I tried 30 times vids,it's hard to imagine. I think comin up without constant cameras and just pushing it for the love we were lucky.still this was awesome idea for a vid.chur
Who’s trying the heel flip? Is that Jaws or is that One of the Dern Brothers the one pro for Zero…? Or is it someone else… I’ve just never seen that particular truck and I was convinced I had seen everything that’s been attempted down this set. Please and thank you in advance for anyone who can answer this.
I walked over a bridge going over a road that was roughly the same height as Leap of Faith. That's technically not even jumping anymore, it's falling. I can't fathom stair or massive drop skating, the amount of stress on your shins whether you land it or not, you have to have superhuman endurance just to do that shit once. Nevermind over and over again until you land it.
A think an interesting part of this is all the tricks landed but weren't filmed That random perfect moment that just happened at the skate park, or street sesh before the cameras were on I feel like a lot of stuff has gone down undocumented that would have been crazy to see
Love bore Chris Cole didn’t even hesitate to answer “if Jamie Thomas landed the leap of faith would it would it still be iconic”? Yeah it would of been iconic for sure, that leap of faith would of been hectic 🧡💯
The missed tricks can also inspire the next generation to take it on - seeing someone get so close and fail makes the next person want to make it happen for the skateboarding community. Everyone in skateboarding wants to run it back and make the impossible possible
The bravery and insanity behind stuff like this always amazes me. Like to attempt this shit without safety gear is other wordly because i wouldn't even try it with a bubble wrap suit on lol. All joking aside, major respect to these dudes.
I feel like what makes tricks iconic is rather or not the spot is currently accessible. Because the question of how iconic the leap of faith is and how less than a handful have attempted really boils down to how their is not much currently the same or similar to leap of faith, in my opinion
Hey Chase! I had an idea that would maybe help you out! I've noticed your "I used to skate" videos doing really well and on the Nine Club they chatted about broke skateboarders which got me thinking about a series you would be so suited for... "i used to be pro" There are so so so MANY pros i used to look up to and they just... vanished! Where are they now? Why did they leave the industry? What are they into or up to now? I really hope you build upon this because there are SO MANY legends that have become myths. 👊
An honorable mentions for tricks attempted are Brian Wenning Switch Heelflip down Love Park 4 Set. As well as Rick McCrank Nollie Hardflip down Carlsbad Gap.
Not tryin to take away tricks thats been done on some huge gaps, stairs etc..but only few will stand out for the long run..Make or not..Leaf of Faith, Scheklers costo kf, Duffys double kinker etc
Looking at this, i miss el toro the most. Because ANYTHING tried down it is legendary and i think we could've really seen limits pushed there like a trick mecca
Trying and failing isn't true failure; failing to even try is. The only "failure" of any these skaters was a failure to accept limitations; to be bound by what others decided was or wasn't possible. These attempts aren't iconic because they were failures, the failures are iconic because they were attempted.
It has always felt like tricks landed by not rolled away are what really mattered here. Bails aren't really ever looked back the same unless the person put one to feet. That commitment of trying to stick it and landing board to both feet is really what's being discussed here. It takes major risk to do that part, bails without landing on the board just aren't that dangerous and everyone respects those who gave it a try to stick it.
The fact that we use “Leap of Faith” to describe anything that is remotely scary, tells you how famous that trick and spot is! Even if the thing we’re talking about is a figurative “leap”. It’s turned into a figure of speech for all of us.
The difference is obvious: when the trick is made, it's no longer an NBD. Therefore, people usually don't come trying to repeat it. This opens up a line of thought that perhaps other skaters also can do the trick, but they just weren't the first to try. But when a trick is not made, it's kinda not made by everyone. Everyone is free to come and try it, to prove that they can do it while the first one to try it failed. And then time passes and you don't hear anyone making the trick, it becomes some kind of proof that the skater who merely attempted it has really been pushing the limit of the impossible.
that tre flip on el toro is 100% a LAND it's just not a smooth roll away....but who cares? better than most people can say....he definitely LANDED IT. does landing mean you need to ride the next 10ft completely smoothly? or 15ft feet? or what??? what if there was a fence or something 15ft away, and he rolled into it?? still landed it.....
From what I've seen, it needs to be obvious that they're in full control before stepping off the board or stopping, and that wasn't the case for Joslin. I remember seeing Brandon Westgate's attempts on a handrail and he couldn't steer after landing to fully roll away, and he kept rolling into the grass, so he just accepted the attempt that he was in full control of. So I do agree with Joslin when he said it technically wasn't a land, but it was close enough to where it proves that he CAN do it without question.
Oh man it's definitely up for debate. I personally would consider it a make but a landing like that is not going to make it on any part. Sucks that el Toro is pretty much unskateable now.
skateboard brands & content creators need to realize that outsourcing for final edits & revisions is necessary when everyone in the industry dropped out of high school lol “epitamy”
@@storied_skateboarding let me ask you something who are you guys i just found out about your channel And the first thing i realised is you managed to get la creme the la creme of legendary skaters on your videos and them dudes look so comfortable so happy to talk nothing is forced no bored faces waiting for it to end Im really impressed

but he broke his leg trying an ollie, not a kickflip
@@elliottwoods5636 yeah he broke it while trying an Ollie but he clearly says in an interview that he was there to kickflip it
@@FatBamMargera i don't understand how it could be a missed trick if it wasn't even attempted, but ok
Chris -Cole- Joslin's point* 👍
Chris Joslin’s fall on that 3 flip is the saddest missed trick of all time IMO. That one is just sad, because he popped it and landed it perfectly.
Truth
That counts. 😊
It's not a miss
It's a make
His truck failed it counts
Nah, yea that definitely counts as a make in my book, he landed it and rolled away, he didn’t land and stick and fly off his board, he rolled away for a sec, that definitely counts 100%
To me its a make but im sure to him its a remake.

That commitment of trying to stick it and landing board to both feet is really what's being discussed here. It takes major risk to do that part, bails without landing on the board just aren't that dangerous and everyone respects those who gave it a try to stick it.

The fact that we use “Leap of Faith” to describe anything that is remotely scary, tells you how famous that trick and spot is! Even if the thing we’re talking about is a figurative “leap”. It’s turned into a figure of speech for all of us.
🙌
The difference is obvious: when the trick is made, it's no longer an NBD. Therefore, people usually don't come trying to repeat it. This opens up a line of thought that perhaps other skaters also can do the trick, but they just weren't the first to try.
But when a trick is not made, it's kinda not made by everyone. Everyone is free to come and try it, to prove that they can do it while the first one to try it failed. And then time passes and you don't hear anyone making the trick, it becomes some kind of proof that the skater who merely attempted it has really been pushing the limit of the impossible.
True!!!
This is random but y’all should do a episode on sacking how bad and the aftermath
Lol
that tre flip on el toro is 100% a LAND
it's just not a smooth roll away....but who cares?
better than most people can say....he definitely LANDED IT.
does landing mean you need to ride the next 10ft completely smoothly? or 15ft feet? or what???
what if there was a fence or something 15ft away, and he rolled into it?? still landed it.....

BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS!!!
From what I've seen, it needs to be obvious that they're in full control before stepping off the board or stopping, and that wasn't the case for Joslin. I remember seeing Brandon Westgate's attempts on a handrail and he couldn't steer after landing to fully roll away, and he kept rolling into the grass, so he just accepted the attempt that he was in full control of. So I do agree with Joslin when he said it technically wasn't a land, but it was close enough to where it proves that he CAN do it without question.
I love it how Joslin doesn’t consider his tre flip a make. He literally rode away.
Lol it’s debatable!
Oh man it's definitely up for debate. I personally would consider it a make but a landing like that is not going to make it on any part. Sucks that el Toro is pretty much unskateable now.
Ive been trying The Leap of Faith back in the days, almost 20 years ago on trip to California... never again 🫣😅
Ayyye
skateboard brands & content creators need to realize that outsourcing for final edits & revisions is necessary when everyone in the industry dropped out of high school lol “epitamy”
