Actual Skate Trivia

well the answer is Adam Mcnatt and I may have mixed up the ledges, leave it up to a Polack to fuck up his own question.

For some reason Adam McNatt popped into my head. He's the only dude I could imagine complaining about shit like that in an on-the-record interview. Was it actually a crook? And did he say it in a big brother interview while he was on his way to fading to obscurity? They start it with something along the lines of commenting on him saying "Big Brother is regular, but only smart people can detect it" in a transworld interview. I vaguely feel like I did read something like that there.

pretty certain there are two ledges in venice beach.  they both look the same but the muska's is the bigger one.  all the replays of the tailslide in Guilty made me sick, or maybe that was just the muskabeats.

motherfuckers acting like they forgot about brian lotti

it was adam mcnatt but he was refering to muska grinding that long as curved rail in venice. daniel haney 50-50'd it to backside 180 out a few years later in that foundation video.

Rudy Johnson on the stage at embarcadero I think is the first manual 3flip.
Gonz for the other one on that square pole thing in the parking garage
both video days. Those are the oldest of that I have seen.

close but im pretty sure that chris hall was the first to do the manual 360 flip atleast on film and in a video, if im remembering correctly that new deal video came out a few months before video days.

gonze did the alley oop 50-50 thing regular stance and it was rick ibaseta that did it switch first, atleast to my knowledge.

Did Powell 8 come out before those videos? Pat Brennan may have done manual to 360 flip.
