Jason Carney - I can't do switch 360 flips and I don't care
For real, Jason Carney was pretty damn good. I was just thinking about some of the stuff he did in the second planet earth video, was that animal farm? Just really interesting curb combos, backside boardslide and then pop it into a frontside boardslide, how the hell do you do that? Lots of power too.
In a related note, I was at this used bookstore the other day and they had just tons of old thrashers, some i remember buying when I was in high school and there was a picture of this guy, I think he used to ride for black label, max evans. He had some cool stuff. It's neat to look at these old pictures, like he was doing a bs 50/50 on maybe a 6 stair, but it just looked so cool cuz you could see the effort and style, it was kinda tweaked, not so automatic like these days, it had some torque to it.
