When I first saw it I couldn't believe Andrew Reynolds fs blunt kickflip out on a handrail in The End was real.
What tricks struck you as completely impossible when you first saw them?

Chris Cole bs 180 nosegrind sw big heel
Leo’s crooked grind up that rail in San Jose(?) and 5050 ender in Stay Gold
Most of Daewon’s Skate More part
Dylan’s impossible over the bench
Koston 360 flip noseblunt
Jaws’ Thrasher cover ollie
-
pivot/5-0 fakies
-
nose blunt slides
-
Heath Kirchart's backtail kickflip to fakie on This Is Skateboarding
-
Mike Mo fakie f/s crook 360 flip.
A bunch of stuff Creager did on picnic tables at the end of his What If? part.
I also remember being blown away the first time I saw someone doing a 360 on flat, it just didn't make sense someone could ollie well enough to spin all the way around without going off of something hah.
-
When hardflips first came out I was very confused. People who weren't free stylers never thought about flipping their board that way before.
-
the impossible, the magic flip aka the kickflip, the ollie.
the caballerial, the mctwist, switchstance.
-
Impossibles for sure.
-
most of Mullen's part in the Questionable video
-
Guy Mariano wallie in pretty sweet
-
Duffy's kink rail grind in questionable. Natas spin. Cabellerial a picnic table.
-
Sw back 3 over a picnic table
Oskis trick in the new polar vid
Dane burman rail
-
my friends and I use to always joke about the darkslide on a handrail never thinking it was possible.
also when VOV came out with that one footed back smith I didnt understand how he did that.
-
A frw years ago when that kid with the legbrace did wallies on rails/ railies and he also "wallrid" that one arizona handrail. Both blew me away
-
First time I saw Jeremy Wray's water tower ollie I couldn't comprehend what I was watching.

Ryan Reyes? I love his skating but now I’m wondering if I’m gotten him confused with.....david Reyes?
What I couldn’t believe were Cole’s three fucking Enders in New Blood. Go back and look at that Bs 3 flip into the Pitt; it is executed and landed so ridiculously perfect and the first instance of that trick (I think) being done down something and it’s just incredible.
Also Billy Mark’s switch bigspin heelflip boardslide ender in Good and Evil. Wtf
-
Bryan Herman did a nollie inward heelflip over a fucking picnic table
-
Haslam boardslide flip out on a rail. I forget what part though.

1: Julio de la Cruz did things no man should be capable of. Always wondered if those were quick tricks for him at that time, or if he spent hours to make them look like he did them in the regular. Just all those pressure flip variations turned my whole world upside-down.
2: Bob's Mega part, and Danny's to a lesser extent, made me look at ramps in a while new light.
3: Carroll's noseslide/grind tricks seemed impossible at the time, until we figured it out. Then they were all just so much fun. Especially noseslide to 50-50. Pop it right in up on to there.
-
Haslam boardslide flip out on a rail. I forget what part though.
almost round 3?
-
1. Keenan Milton's switch flip over the table at Lockwood (I was like 4 when this happened, but it was one of the first tricks that blew my mind when I started skating)
2. Westgate's boardslide up that whole rail in that "Zoo England" part, riding away with speed.
-
I could probably just do this on Koston. The first trick that pops to mind is his Yeah Right ender which was a Tre-flip Front Noseblunt on a rail.
More recent ones that come to mind is Wes's Darkslide on that concrete SD rail, and Kyle Walker's last rail in No Other Way.
-
Every other trick Evan Smith does
-
speaking of yeah right, i was thinking of all the green-screened ramp tricks. came across this quartersnacks piece from 2012 - "Ten Years Since Yeah Right! and the Case For Increased Plausibility" http://quartersnacks.com/2012/11/ten-years-since-yeah-right-and-the-case-for-increased-plausibility/ (http://quartersnacks.com/2012/11/ten-years-since-yeah-right-and-the-case-for-increased-plausibility/)
will definitely need to update this article ten years later in 2022. crazy to think that dudes now have come pretty close to (and in the case of grinding up a handrail, already surpassed) these tricks that were concocted as jokingly impossible. still waiting for tiago to 5050 on top of two stacked picnic tables from flat.

-
PJWHL, also that Ryan Reyes photo reminds me of Kevin Rodrigues' early grab wallride / 50-50 down a handrail shot by Manu Schenck in that Polar ad, both photos blew my mind equally, I had been waiting for people to start skating rails like that

True, but I actually think I was thinking of Round 3 because the deca stuff was flatrail. I should have been specific to handrails down stairs since that's what i meant by my initial post...but yeah his deca stuff was insane. Also he looks like a completely different human in that stuff too. He's like two different people.

Im still tripping on Guy's switch tre nosegrind.
-
Gonz hippie jump that he didn't really land at the end of Real to Reel fucked me up for a long time. Did not see how anyone could do that.
A lot of Haslam's part in Round 3 seemed crazy, he and others may have done flips out of boardslides before but that boardslide fs flip out was immaculate and caught.
I couldn't understand ANY trick over picnic tables, but I didn't realize that those Cali tables are small as fuck and I was only like 11.
-
jake johnson switch wallride ender in mindfield, honestly a good portion of that part was pretty shocking.

Same here. I thought those were full sized adult picnic tables for so long. What are those? Picnic tables for ants?

I agree with everything else you said but the 360 thing is so spot on. Around the when I started skating, one of the first videos I saw was mosiac. Fred Gall's first line he does a back 360 on flat and I kept rewinding it over and over, because he span so fast. I actually thought he did more than a 360 the first time I saw it, I was so blown away. In that same line he does a wallride at this spot in Philly on American street and at this point I thought wallrides were just something from video games. I didn't really think that they were that possible. I may have already seen someone do one in a video by this point, but I feel like I wasn't sure what was happening. Fred's wallride just looked so deliberate there was no thinking it was anything else. Still one of my favorite lines to this day.

cole's was obviously bigger and better but 13 years earlier ryan fabry put down what might have been the first backside 360 ollie flip down a gap:

Same here! Even independent of PJ, how anyone could do a fs kickflip was completely incomprehensible to me for the longest time. I mean, the foot has to flick into the same direction in which the board turns 180. Thinking about it now I still don't really get it.

Koston handrail nollie heel nose in chocolate tour

Danny Gonzales ceiling ride in... first love?
I forget who it was, but like 10-12 years ago some Spanish guy did backside 180 nose grind switch front 180 out in the middle of a tall ledge. Anyone remember that shit? All I remember was the web clip was a welcome part for some Spanish board brand. Anyway, that trick seemed particularly impossible.

I was fortunate to have been at "School W" when Sheffey backside tailslid the picnic table for his Life part (Sturt filming with the tight shorts). It was full sized when Sheffey skated it, but it had been partially collapsed when Markovich filmed the same backside lipslide for Winona Riders.

I am not sure I know who you're talking about but I tripped out seeing Weiger Van Wageningen do that in his Nothing But The Truth part, which came out like 11 years ago. That video as a whole was lousy because of dumb skits but Weiger's part is pretty nuts.
He does one at 1:05 and then also does a back heel nose grind switch front 180 out in the middle of a ledge at 1:54 which is insane.

Holy fucking hell, that back lip... I let out an audible “holy SHIT!” in the middle of the grocery store when I saw that cover. It honestly still seems impossible to me.

I think the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen is when this man does two complete rotations in the air without grabbing his board, lands, and his shirt flips up revealing his dad bod, looking more like someone at home on the couch with a bagful of Doritos in his tummy that someone who just did the impossible

I know people think it's, "Gimicky" or whatever, but it must feel awesome to be able to skate the mega-ramp. Just looking at the roll in from the top makes me scared. I still can't believe Vov and DWay pull off what are basically super tech street tricks on that shit. Especially when they incorporate the rails.

Natas, dustbin ollie and natas spin. Was just talking to my better half about his first video part..
-
Pretty sure the first photo of a blunt slide I ever saw/noticed was the Penny transworld cover in HB. The board is so vertical that I didn’t understand why he didn’t just fall off since it seemed like he was trying to stand on a wall. And wheels...he was sliding on his wheels, which grip, how could it slide?
Ironically I found out that despite frontside blunts being a very real trick, that the photo I saw was as fake as I thought

Same, I remember a still (not even a sequence) of Wieger doing this trick on a tall ledge in Spain/Mallorca from Kingpin (old euro mag) and thinking how it is even possible. I understood the mental commitment of hammers , but this was just pure wizardry to me.

Yep! I grew up skating this rail just like that one (first rail I've ever done lol) and I was just mind blown.
It's like he could have flipped it late without even touching the rail to begin with. Super fast footwork and how the fuck did he make it look good?
Also, those tech rail tricks from Duffy if virtual reality on what I believe was a mellow 5 stair, but still...mind blown
