I agree with Jason. The excitement of watching skateboarding never dies. I haven’t skated since ‘97 but still watch the progression in complete amazement.
@@sodapopinski9922 Video Days hyped me up so much back in the day. That and pack of lies, virtual reality and questionable. Just watched a new series by thrasher called “this old ledge” haha. It was on EMB. Great little episode. I dearly wanted to go there back in ‘92. The ultimate skate Mecca!
Same here. I was huge, huge, huge into skating from 1998 to 2008. Since 2008 until now, I've only skated twice, but I still love watching everything to do with skating.
i gotta say the only thing that changed being in my mid 40s, i forget that im not light on my feet... i go down and eat shit hard. ---the other thing is that most kids now a days have no idea about is drive and determination doing something for years on end until you feel passable, im in ahh of how good the youth was at 18-19 years 25-30 yrs ago. Im not talking just skating the goddamn music that was written, instruments,sports jjust in general there was a drive in the youth like im going to get this or it will kill me. from 12 on there was nothing else to do but find something you like and dont fckn stop... thats why America had the talent it did... not fckn anymore, i weap for these pussies.
Reynolds - Davis gap Bachinsky - El Toro Getz - Love park Decenzo - 9 flat 9 Sheckler - whatever that over the fence gap is called (Costco?). Just a few of my favourites.
Style: kirchart, no doubt. Not only his famous flip over the hydrant, but in general. The way he catches the board while still moving up in the air... perfection.
Surprised Dylan Reiders kickflip over the bump in his Gravis part wasn't mentioned. Not only was it one of the highest but probably had the smoothest style as well. Straight Steez! RIP DYLAN!
Andrew Reynolds’s Davis gap kick flip is the greatest ever in my opinion. The size of the gap, the style, his age and determination at that time period.
I was a teenager maybe 15 and I 360 flipped down the old federal reserve stairs in minneapolis. I crashed so many times beforehand. I went home that day king of my own world.
Gotta shout out: - Geoff Rowley's over the LA River (I think in a 411 vid, not sure) - Bam Margera's in Adio One Step Beyond - Ryan Sheckler's Costco deathdrop
Tom penny in menikmati over the handrail in like the middle of his part he front side flips it after. Reynolds over the massive 5 block and Davis gap and in Arizona in this is skateboarding in the beginning of his part. Kerry Getz in jump off a building. Frank grewer over wallenberg, billy marks over the big ass set in good vs evil toy machine, Rodney Mullen obviously without a doubt, gonz anything mark Gonzalez , and let’s not forget the beast from the east straight out oF Lowell Massachusetts Dave Bachinsky kickflip el Toro… no specific order but these are all super memorable and to anyone I didn’t mention my apologies. Thank you everyone at nine club these posts are amazing and awesome for skateboardings history for future generations to come and shredddddd. Jon Dicksons switch flip is also one of the best
Josiah Gatlyn, also Dave Backinskys el toro kickflip. Definitely glad that Kirchart and Garcia ones mentioned. In terms of quick flick / quick flick to rail Jon allie in Zero's dying to live. Zach D also
Nick Trapasso's kickflip in Volcom Let's Live down the grass gap. So tweaked and effortless (**ninja style looking), best kickflip hands down. Ever. Also, Enzo Cautela's kickflip down the 20 stair might be in a close tie with Trapasso's just because of how clean it was.
That's funny I was thinking of Trapasso when they were talking about the 360 flips too. He does a couple of flat ground ones in his Suffer the Joy part that are steezy
@@notoriousvic Everything Trapasso did was so sick. Really good bigflips and a very random bag of tricks, none of which he repeated too much. lot of variety
1.Appleyard first clip in sorry over the can 2. Kalis at the banks over the can 3.Heath over the hydrant Edit: commented before I watched. Glad to see some of my favourites get love
Jeremy Wray is the king of kickflips. I saw him do a kickflip off a high embankment at the 118 demo over a uhaul truck. Not sure if anyone got that on video.
Word. When pros go off at demos it's crazy. Years ago I saw Jamie Thomas kickflip over a Honda from a little launch ramp. ...It's fun to watch local legends try to keep up with the pros too. 🤣
i skated in middle school/high school and these guys were who i watched RELIGIOUSLY. so many memories going through my head right now. Kalis and Williams were my jam back then
I have so little knowledge of any of it myself, but I feel as mesmerized watching these guys break down tricks as I assume a lot of people get watching hours of post game replays from whatever sports ball they enjoy.
My vote for best kickflip is a short clip from Mike Rosa in Logic 7 or 8 maybe. He kickflips a make-shift Home Depot step ladder ramp thing(which are pretty tall), it flips slowly and he catches it at the peak and just floats the whole thing effortlessly. The music syncing with it also complements it very well.
Not many people will remember this kickflip, but my favorite is in the friends section of Zero Thrill of It All at the 9:20 mark. I'm not even sure who it is, but it's a thing of beauty.
My top Kickflippers all time: Jon Allie, Dustin Dollin, Chris Wimer, Andrew Reynolds, Braden Hoban, Luan Oliviera, Tom Penny, Bryan Herman, Heath Kirchart. Feel like I'm forgetting someone though Edit: Daniel Shimizu Kf at the beginning of his "That's Life" part has to be added here. It's insane. Go watch it if you don't remember or haven't seen it!
I love Mike Vallely’s kickflip in a line in his Public Domain part. He just gets it done as part of a sketchy line but it’s one trick after another and it’s great to watch.
Evan Smith’s Kickflip at the end of The Evan Smith Experience is one of the best. It’s sort of like the Kalis kickflip where it’s boned out and then he irons it out with the back foot. It’s also fucked because the gap is huge and he has to go up over a bar from flat. So beast.
The best kickflip I've seen was done in the video Fallen Ride the Sky by James Hardy. He does this tweaked and perfectly caught kickflip over a grass gap. In my 17 years of skating, that was one of if not the best kickflip i will ever seen.
I am not really qualified to speak on these matters, just have an opinion. Dustin taking a shot, then bombing the front stairs of the bar in Baker3 is why he is my north star... I can relate to that mindset. Kickflips... not real sure I have a favorite, Treyflips on the other hand, you know I am going to say Dixon, same video, how he dose it while barely moving his feet and legs?... his control is real.
Loved Jason mentioned Stevie Williams & the connection to Jazz, when we used to just skate without thought out line's, impromptu doing one trick and seeing where it takes you to the next. Jason's comparison to Jazz with that is spot on!
The Ryan Sheckler kick flip over the Costco gap in 2008 is the only answer to this question, I get that people don't like him but that trick was legendary
All my favorite kickflips are from various Heath parts. That said, Ryan Decenzo's big double set kick flip in SF and Sheckler's Costco gap kickflip were insane.
I’m not sure if Jason Lee was a pro back then, but some time in the late 80’s, I saw him do a kickflip over a kicker ramp that was butted up to the Oceanside stage, off the stage. He first had to clear the bottom of the kicker, which was sticking up 18” above the stage. When he rode across the stage and popped up over it, his board just looked like his shoes had magnets on them. He had cleared that height, stuck it to his feet, and dropped the remaining 6ft to perfectly land it. The board never moved once it had hit his soles. Thanks for the memory, Mr. Lee.
Danny Garcias kickflip in Mosaic is permanently burned into my brain as number 1 Kirchart, Penny, Reynolds, Appleyard, Daniel Shimizu, Alex Campbell (Aussie), Dollin, Jon Allie
What about style though? Sure, those are some of the *biggest* kickflips ever done but what about the cleanest or most stylish? I don't think Bachinsky's kickflip was that good, I mean it was one of the biggest ever done don't get me wrong but it wasn't super clean in my opinion.
Lewis Marnells treflip into the bank right before he runs into the guy on the bike in the Nike Nothing But The Truth video, and Antuan Dixons opening line in Baker 3 are my favorite treflips of all time. Also J-Lay has a nice tre in the opening line in Toy Machines Good And Evil.
*Man it’s been over a decade since I took all my old magazine clips down, but my favorite was either John Ratttray or Jon Allie doing a perfectly tweaked, perfectly caught kick flip off a loading dock ramp over a green dumpster. Dustin Dollins kick flip in to that insane wooden ramp. Mark Appleyards kick flips over anything. PJ Ladds everything over anything. There are some greats.*
LOL Jason Lee has the perfect wrap up... outsiders hear and they are like... uh puzzled at best, more likely completely confused. When we were in highschool in the 1980's we built a 16 foot wide 9 foot tall half pipe in our backyard, which makes me in my 50's and I still love watching skate videos... I love the creativity in the tricks... so F'n cool!
I agree with Jason. The excitement of watching skateboarding never dies. I haven’t skated since ‘97 but still watch the progression in complete amazement.
im with you bro, same here, probably 97 for me too, ive re-watched this ep. twice, every time its in my feed

Man, 97. I was a senior in highschool. I am old.
shecklers kickflip over that fence to big ass drop is my favorite
Same
Me too
Costco Gap.
Yeah, that was amazing, glad he got the cover for it, definitely deserved. IMO, Andrew Reynolds at the end of Stay Gold topped it though.
yup
Kerry Getz's kickflip at the Love Park gap back in the day def needs to be in the conversation imo.
Oohh yea. His Jump off a building part was very enjoyable...
Kerry Getz had great flip tricks. I loved his style. Everything was so locked in. It looked like he could never miss.
@Ze Collecter ...but when he Did miss, all hell broke lose.
@@mattimaranda9638 Hockey Temper!
That was my first thought when I saw the title of this video!
Reynolds - Davis gap
Bachinsky - El Toro
Getz - Love park
Decenzo - 9 flat 9
Sheckler - whatever that over the fence gap is called (Costco?).
Just a few of my favourites.
One that lives in my head is Billy Marks Ride the Sky right before the ender
Bachinsky's is legendary, no doubt. But beautiful? Nah.
Jason Lee gave kudos to Roger for being so quick to find footage they were referring to. I've always noticed that. I'm glad he pointed that out.
“I think people got self conscious about the leg dangle” …….GOOD! 😂
Brandon Westgate's kickflip over the bump to bar in his Emerica Shoe Promo has always been a favorite
That kickflip is insane
Anything going 100 mph is always sick lol
Great one!
def the best one
Dude you read my brain Westgate kickflip are something else that's why his 3 flip were boosted Chris joslin
Got some mad ones
Style: kirchart, no doubt. Not only his famous flip over the hydrant, but in general. The way he catches the board while still moving up in the air... perfection.
That’s my pick as well.
I thought that then saw Zach Deolling do one of his tweaked kickflips about 4 foot high on flat
The kickflip he does down that 6-stair (before the backlip) is Perfect.
Kirchart's two piece in the Emerica vid where he front lips the rail then bs flips the stairs. The flick on the bs flip is flawless.
@@drsbaitso0 Amen! And he cleared that set by a mile. Glad someone mentioned that gem
Surprised Dylan Reiders kickflip over the bump in his Gravis part wasn't mentioned. Not only was it one of the highest but probably had the smoothest style as well. Straight Steez! RIP DYLAN!
This.
1000%
His kickflip in Cherry during the schoolyard line is another that comes to mind.
Sacrificed by tyshawn jones
I concur! RIP in PEACE REIDER❤️
Andrew Reynolds’s Davis gap kick flip is the greatest ever in my opinion. The size of the gap, the style, his age and determination at that time period.
Amen brother
That and decenzo s down that double set
Bam's backfoot catch kickflip at FDR deserves a mention.
Yea you are right and remember I was the only 1 that said steezus and just is why the experience was ending
Was literally about to comment the exact same thing lol. That Kickflip was so damn good!
My God I forgot about that. That is definitely one of the craziest ones ever
Absolutely.
This is Hollywood doucehbags.
Another under rated kickflip is Dustin dollin. His flicks are some of the quickest out there. They spin so quick with such little effort
Real talk. They aren't typically 'beautiful', but they're super unique, sticky and breathtaking
That was 1st guy who came to my mind.
Marnell had steezzzy flips ,
Ohhh shane cross had sweet flips too
Shane Oneil flips pretty good too
He was my fav skater for years
ya i was thinking of this as well....theres one in baker3 thats insane
For 360 flips Stefan Janoski would be one for me, but Antwon Dixon's flatground tre in the first line of his Baker 3 part is legendary, it's perfect.
Yep Stefan's are super nice id say Shane oneills switch tres are my favourite and antwuans baker 3 tre is super iconic
Tre flips Jason Lee Tae turner Shane O'Neil
Stfu no one is talking about 360 flips
"Dude, he's trying to switch 180 it!". I died laughing. That's what I think my family is thinking when I'm all psyched watching this stuff at age 47.
Same boat different seat over here 😂. Soon to be 50…
Damn I’m 35 and thought I was too old to be getting stoked watching skate vids!
Respect 🫡
52 😂
Same as me. Been skating for 37 years now.
I was a teenager maybe 15 and I 360 flipped down the old federal reserve stairs in minneapolis. I crashed so many times beforehand. I went home that day king of my own world.
Mark appleyard flip really sorry over that handrail
Andrew Reynolds
Thank God someone else thought of it!! Kuddos for that.
"I am doll arms" 😂
Yes! over the zipper rail
Thank you.. I was really hoping someone would mention this
I've been practicing a round house kick flip. It's not going well...
James Hardy in Ride the Sky over the grass gap blew my mind in 7th grade and still to this day I haven’t seen one better
Ooh that was a good one. Top contender for sure. 👍
Dude I just saw that part,that boned out kickflip was sick!! I remember seeing it on a sequence at thrasher magazine years ago and just studying it
Yeah dude. I watched that one over and over when Ride the Sky was released. Still the best kickflip ever in my opinion.
Gotta shout out:
- Geoff Rowley's over the LA River (I think in a 411 vid, not sure)
- Bam Margera's in Adio One Step Beyond
- Ryan Sheckler's Costco deathdrop
Reynolds, Kickflip Bercy. Some say it still haunts the spot to this day.
Tom penny in menikmati over the handrail in like the middle of his part he front side flips it after. Reynolds over the massive 5 block and Davis gap and in Arizona in this is skateboarding in the beginning of his part. Kerry Getz in jump off a building.

Dylan Reider - Gravis opening. Kick flip over the playground bump.
Such and underrated kickflip it's a work of art and Dylan's Tre were probably the best as well but no one acknowledges it
Josiah Gatlyn, also Dave Backinskys el toro kickflip. Definitely glad that Kirchart and Garcia ones mentioned. In terms of quick flick / quick flick to rail Jon allie in Zero's dying to live. Zach D also
I don't have a specific clip to reference but Zach Doelling definitely needs to be mentioned in the best kickflip conversation
His bangin' at the berrics. That kickflip off the bump over the picnic table
ruclips.net/video/YByeCGmEx3w/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/YByeCGmEx3w/видео.html
Zach is a machine
Reynolds has such a great kickflip, Decenzo double set flip is amazing
From the My War!? That one is definitely up there for me too
Reynolds at the end of Stay Gold was the biggest kick flip ever.
Definitely can't disregard a good Reynolds flip.
@@evre2881 I dont know, its huuuge. But the Decenzo kickflip??? Even Reynolds said thats probably the biggest one
@@WizardDoom Holy shit, thought I'd seen every Decenzo part, just watched. Yeah, that was bigger. Reynolds watched and shook his first.
Nick Trapasso's kickflip in Volcom Let's Live down the grass gap. So tweaked and effortless (**ninja style looking), best kickflip hands down. Ever. Also, Enzo Cautela's kickflip down the 20 stair might be in a close tie with Trapasso's just because of how clean it was.
Ok thats the one. I would say this is a historical kickflip. Ollies into the grass after. Still holds its own today.

Fucking Amen 🙏
1.Appleyard first clip in sorry over the can
2. Kalis at the banks over the can
3.Heath over the hydrant
Edit: commented before I watched. Glad to see some of my favourites get love
Love Kalis' skating so much.
Keenan Milton's switch flip over the park bench in Mouse!
Damian Bravo, best 360 flip.
Mark Appleyard's 13 stair kickflip in Really Sorry is one of the most memorable for me.
I had a feeling I'd see this comment in here. 👏
Best Kick-flip ever done was Tom Penny in the pool over the hip. But many of Tom’s kick-flips are still the best ever done.
Hes got the best Japan airs too,
(way better then Mike Carrol's.)
Kudos to the video-guy underneath the table making all footage happen. 👍🏻
3:07 I love how they just ignore him and get right back to the kick flip discussion lmfao
He was really avoiding that question. Off topic i guess lol
Jeremy Wray is the king of kickflips. I saw him do a kickflip off a high embankment at the 118 demo over a uhaul truck. Not sure if anyone got that on video.

Caswell Berry's kickflip in the Man Down video was great!
Weezer
This is the absolute best shit in the history of entertainment. I could listen to Chris and Jason talk skating forever and ever.
They should have mentioned Sewa Kroetkov, his flick and catch on ALL flip tricks is not human... just perfection.
Great flick indeed! Snappy af
i skated in middle school/high school and these guys were who i watched RELIGIOUSLY. so many memories going through my head right now. Kalis and Williams were my jam back then
I have so little knowledge of any of it myself, but I feel as mesmerized watching these guys break down tricks as I assume a lot of people get watching hours of post game replays from whatever sports ball they enjoy.
Yup and its all art, we are just forced normally to see it in different frames and perspectives
Jason lee is the man. True skateboarder at heart
I became a Jason Lee fan because of his photography and personality, I love listening to him talk about things he is passionate about.
Tom penny lol no question
You have the best nollie Ive ever seen..just sayin.😊
My vote for best kickflip is a short clip from Mike Rosa in Logic 7 or 8 maybe. He kickflips a make-shift Home Depot step ladder ramp thing(which are pretty tall), it flips slowly and he catches it at the peak and just floats the whole thing effortlessly. The music syncing with it also complements it very well.
Not many people will remember this kickflip, but my favorite is in the friends section of Zero Thrill of It All at the 9:20 mark. I'm not even sure who it is, but it's a thing of beauty.
Yo hadn't watched that for years! The catch is clean af. Love the camera angle, really shows how balanced it is.
Zach Doeling has really good kickflips. He just doesn't throw himself down big gap. Also Ryan Sheckler Costco gap was insane
Heath Kirchart
Erick Pupecki from Menace tells a really good story about that Gonz kick flip in SF.
Jon Allie in zero new blood. The kickflip at Rincon is one I always remember. That and Frank Gerwers wallenberg kickflip
Jon Allie had awesome kickflips.
He does one in DYing to Live down set over flat, catches it and still keeps ascending . Crazy kickflip
@@tylergates4075 one of my favorite kickflip clips of all time
My top Kickflippers all time: Jon Allie, Dustin Dollin, Chris Wimer, Andrew Reynolds, Braden Hoban, Luan Oliviera, Tom Penny, Bryan Herman, Heath Kirchart. Feel like I'm forgetting someone though
Edit: Daniel Shimizu Kf at the beginning of his "That's Life" part has to be added here. It's insane. Go watch it if you don't remember or haven't seen it!
Young days of Colin Provost and Chris Gregson, and Elijah Berle. And boned and tweaked kfs of Dennis Busenitz
Allie for sure!! So fast, almost like he’s just ollieing!
@Bb aaah yes, a man of culture I see❤
The foot-pointing for the push was a damn great observation! It's makes a perfect composition
I love Mike Vallely’s kickflip in a line in his Public Domain part. He just gets it done as part of a sketchy line but it’s one trick after another and it’s great to watch.
One of the best kickflips I've ever seen was Matty Hunt in Red Asphalt. First clip. Still blows me away to this day
Evan Smith’s Kickflip at the end of The Evan Smith Experience is one of the best. It’s sort of like the Kalis kickflip where it’s boned out and then he irons it out with the back foot. It’s also fucked because the gap is huge and he has to go up over a bar from flat. So beast.
i love discussions about who does a certain trick the best. there is so much nuance that only skaters will get. fun conversation to have
The best kickflip I've seen was done in the video Fallen Ride the Sky by James Hardy. He does this tweaked and perfectly caught kickflip over a grass gap. In my 17 years of skating, that was one of if not the best kickflip i will ever seen.
Yes!!! That's the one I'm talking about. So good! He's got another one in Faith's Reason to Believe.
Brandon Turner in Subject to Change kickflip down the grass/sidewalk gap
I always felt that Dustin Dollin's kickflips were underrated. Super fast flick and catches cleeeaaannnnn!
I am not really qualified to speak on these matters, just have an opinion. Dustin taking a shot, then bombing the front stairs of the bar in Baker3 is why he is my north star... I can relate to that mindset. Kickflips... not real sure I have a favorite, Treyflips on the other hand, you know I am going to say Dixon, same video, how he dose it while barely moving his feet and legs?... his control is real.
i love this so much. not only for the impressive kickflips, but for the old man talk about kickflips. it is so endearing. love it.
Braydon Szafranski’s tweaked kickflip down Santa Monica triple set is my fav
Ouf yeah that one is a heater fersureee
Bam Margeras kickfkip over the box was pretty sick
Tom Penny and Mike Carroll hands down best OGs of the Kickflip. Curren Caples at the present time has most stylish Kickflip.
Kenny Anderson effortless floating kick flips can’t be beat
Eric Pupecki actually kickfliped the Gonz gap first, but Gonz got it on film first.
This whole banter about favorite kickflips is hilarious to me. Like a typical sports cast but for skating lol
Dustin Dollin has the fastest flick for sure and the way he does it into rails is ridiculous. Gotta give it to luan though
Modus Operandi is my favorite skate video of all time. It was my first skate video. I had it on VHS and have seen it probably a hundred times or more.
Bam Margera's kickflip at FDR was the best kickflip I've ever seen by far. So sick.
I came here to say the same thing. It's like the Kalis flip they showed but on steroids.
Yes!! That shit was a fucking MONSTER!!
I agree.
I was gonna say that one. So good
Glad people say this l. It was up there
Loved Jason mentioned Stevie Williams & the connection to Jazz, when we used to just skate without thought out line's, impromptu doing one trick and seeing where it takes you to the next. Jason's comparison to Jazz with that is spot on!
Jason Lee, legend. His passion for skating never wavered. Love it. Decenzo for nicest kick flip I think.
Decenzos kickflip down that giant set is so satisfying to watch the flick and catch is beautiful
Not one in particular but Sewa has amazing kickflips in general! I could watch Sewa Kroetkov kickflips for hours! They're perfect
Listening to these men is like listening to a foreign language to me, but I can feel their passion for this art. Its inspiring.
The Ryan Sheckler kick flip over the Costco gap in 2008 is the only answer to this question, I get that people don't like him but that trick was legendary
People who don't like Sheckler are just jealous lol he's one of the gnarliest skaters of all time
The way his knees touch his chest when he lands because of how high up he is blows my mind. He had to let his whole body absorb the shock from that.
100%. There's nothing to compare it to.
Legendary but it doesn’t erase a 20mph downhill that is just as scary as flying over a huge gap
I agree with Costco gap. But a man kick flipped El Toro ya know
How do you contain such a fast kickflip and make it look so clean??
Are we all forgetting lizard king? His kickflip are iconic
√
Jason Dill - Photosynthesis. Going up the bank in his sleeveless and capris. That one always stuck in my head.
Andrew reynolds davis gap flip and few other flips from the end. Penny also has some good flips. Muska in fullfill the dream from a ledge in to a bank
I will always love Bam's in Adio's One Step Beyond!
That kickflip deserves love and should be watched after your comment
I'd put Bachinsky's down El Toro on my Mount Rushmore of Kickflips
sheckler gap. lizard king has those ones where he catches it in his chest basically. Reynolds UC Davis gap. Bam backfoot catch.
All my favorite kickflips are from various Heath parts. That said, Ryan Decenzo's big double set kick flip in SF and Sheckler's Costco gap kickflip were insane.
I’m not sure if Jason Lee was a pro back then, but some time in the late 80’s, I saw him do a kickflip over a kicker ramp that was butted up to the Oceanside stage, off the stage. He first had to clear the bottom of the kicker, which was sticking up 18” above the stage. When he rode across the stage and popped up over it, his board just looked like his shoes had magnets on them. He had cleared that height, stuck it to his feet, and dropped the remaining 6ft to perfectly land it. The board never moved once it had hit his soles. Thanks for the memory, Mr. Lee.
Danny Garcias kickflip in Mosaic is permanently burned into my brain as number 1
Kirchart, Penny, Reynolds, Appleyard, Daniel Shimizu, Alex Campbell (Aussie), Dollin, Jon Allie
ohjeah, jon allie true!
Both his kickflip AND that switch flip over the gap
Gots shout out Dave Bachinsky kick flip el toro and Sheckler over fence to 20 ft gap.
Heath's line is one of my favorites !!! And I used to love skating the bump that Danny Garcia did! Sad when it was demolished years ago.
Dollin has a sick one similar to Heath
Love these kinds of talks
Reynolds down the massive 5-block in Feedback
Forgot about that one. He did that hungover and on someone elses board. Makes it even gnarlier
That kickflip wallride Evan smith did a couple years ago is what popped in my head
jon allie forever
Jason lee asked to see one of his three flips I know bro was hyped
TOM PENNY...
Bachinsky El Toro, of course, and Decenzo's double set kicky in the My War are certainly up there, if not, honourable mentions
What about style though? Sure, those are some of the *biggest* kickflips ever done but what about the cleanest or most stylish? I don't think Bachinsky's kickflip was that good, I mean it was one of the biggest ever done don't get me wrong but it wasn't super clean in my opinion.
Zach Doelling
Lewis Marnells treflip into the bank right before he runs into the guy on the bike in the Nike Nothing But The Truth video, and Antuan Dixons opening line in Baker 3 are my favorite treflips of all time. Also J-Lay has a nice tre in the opening line in Toy Machines Good And Evil.
Levi brown
none better
Hella underrated
I always loved andrew reynolds kickflip how he always caught it so clean in mid air but looks so smooth.
*Man it’s been over a decade since I took all my old magazine clips down, but my favorite was either John Ratttray or Jon Allie doing a perfectly tweaked, perfectly caught kick flip off a loading dock ramp over a green dumpster. Dustin Dollins kick flip in to that insane wooden ramp. Mark Appleyards kick flips over anything. PJ Ladds everything over anything. There are some greats.*
Any flips by Dylan Rider will surely, always be missed. What an art.
I mean his whole everything was art. Agree with you brother.
These are some uncanny pre-animated video game levels of perfect kickflips.
Idk if it’s switch but Heitor Da Silvia’s kickflip in the spitfire arson department IV at 2:21 is so beautiful
