the only thing i can remember jamie thomas doing switch is a 5-0 180 in a line in ride the sky. As far as I'm concerned though when you're that gnarly why would you need to skate switch.

Yeah, he did a swithc 5-0 180 in a line in Misled Youth, also, probably the best I've seen (balanced, and popped out), I want to say at Bricktown with like a front feeble on the rail or something. He also does a switch line, switch crook a bench and then switch boardslide a rail. OH! and switch lipslide the venice hubba!

jamie thomas has done more switch than that. switch 180 rincoln 4 (doesn't really count as switch though), switch tres in multiple lines, switch crook that san jose ledge, some others too.

mumford also did a real nice switch flip down a set in Misled Youth, like one of his first couple tricks in that part

I rarely venture into classic slap and the one time I do it I find a guy getting his dick eaten by a dolphin.

switch 180in stuff doesnt count as switching skating really, on a lot of gaps its easier to switch 180 them some time

Jon Goeman? The only trick I saw him do switch was an ollie down a grass gap in an old birdhouse commercial. He's sick though.

i remember him doing some switch tricks in the slave video, but none specifically. except in the intro he switch ollied over a bench and a gap into bank, it was also in a vans article for transworld a few years ago.

That's really gnarly if you've been to that spot just outside of Barcelona, he also switch ollies a pretty big bump to bar in his slave part.

What I was getting at was that these guys skate both ways equally as good and are consistent in style both ways. Watch his inhabitants part its hard to tell which way he skates if you didn't already know he was goofy. And I dont really agree that he's a low end pro, your judging him on something he did almost 10 years ago. Same thing could just as easily be said about Pj, around the time Danny did the nollie flip noseslide Pj still had that turtle boy style and was skating boxes in his basement.

I think its something thats cant be gained through practice but is more natural. Everyone has that friend that has the switch tricks that look just as good as their regular or better. A good example would be Ali Boulalas switch heels or Johny Laytons switch tres, tricks you honestly wouldn't believe were switch at first glance.

Oh dude, I bought that video in like 2006; my dvd copy has gone to shit since then, though. Such a good fucking video, especially considering it was related to Smellement (yeah, I said it). It just always stood out to me that the only regular trick he did was the 5-0 on that real big hubba.
