What was the last really significant/ground breaking NBD?

[Yu Dum]

The real question here is do any of these NBDs even matter anymore?
What's their significance nowadays? Skating has become stagnant as far as opening new doors...

This:



Suicide Drop-in Burnside

[Dark Knight]

The first proper hardflips were almost like pressure flips.  The first one I remember was Daewon's over that tiny gap in Love Child.  After that everyone was hardflipping and fronside flipping everything in sight.  I used to TRY to do illusion flip b/c of the Muska, but could never get them.  

The manual game has become a lot more important lately.  Manuals used to be a random thing to do while joking around or while you were hurt.  Now every video part has a bunch of super tech wheelies.  Henry Sanchez and the guys at the old World park really kicked that off.    

I vividly remember freaking out when in New World Order Koston does a switch 360 flip nosemanual and Henry does a frontside flip to fakie manual.  That shit was inconceivable then.

I skated with a lot of the Planet Earth/Rhythm guys way back when, and Ryan Bartsma did a switch hardflip switch nosemanual which was insane as well.  Mariano did it years later....

People have been doing proper hardflips forever though.  It's really nothing new.

In recent years the things that have been shocking to me were the tricks I mentioned before, and:

Luan- Berrics SKATE when he does that switch heel bigger-spin out of nowhere on flat

Not that recent, but Russ Milligan did the first switch backside 360 flip on flat I'd ever seen

Lucas- Frontside nollie flip fakie 5-0 revert

Wade- nollie pop shove bs nosegrind revert, nollie inward heel crooked grind

Suciu- nollie bs 180 bs nosegrind revert the hard way and fakie bs 5-0 frontside halfcab flip out

Ishod- wallie frontside 360

Wes - the tricks everyone has mentioned

Yaje- fakie gap to fakie 50-50 (I consider that an nbd because who the fuck would try that?)

Rowan- He's on some game changing shit en total

There's a euro dude that's down with Skate Mafia and he fucking straight kills it with shit you've never seen...I just can't remember his name.

It may be just me, but whoever started the frontside 180 to switch crook pop out in the middle of ledges deserves some props.  I know Henry did it first at EMB and Scott Johnston pretty much did the illest one ever, but they were both done at the beginning of the ledge, not in the middle.  Love that trick.

You're probably thinking of Gustav Tonneson, re: euro skate mafia homie.

Javier Sarmiento. Shame on you  



I agree with Blind Fisherman: NBDs don't matter as much anymore, because technical skateboarding doesn't matter as much anymore. Fifteen years ago, Koston's 360 flip nosebluntslide down a rail was a relevation. All of your friends at the skatepark talked about it after they had seen it. I mean all of them. Nowadays, it's different.

[Triple Double]

Max Geronzi doing a manual to backlip down a legit sized rail was pretty exceptional. Definitely one of those tricks that was hard to picture before actually seeing the footage.

Same thing with Davis Torgerson nollie frontside hurricane-ing a handrail. I remember reading about that trick before seeing it and not being able to imagine what it would look like or how it could ever work. It still seems fucked up now actually.

[Dark Knight]

That's him!!!  Dude is insane.

I'd never forget about Javier Sarmiento, for the record.

Youness Amrani is another game changer, imo.

What's their significance nowadays? Skating has become stagnant as far as opening new doors...

Sadly, I'd have to agree. The skating is sick to pull off NBDs at the current level but switch, reverts, late flips, RAILS, flipping in/out, there hasn't been anything that's changed the game in a long, long while, it's all variations on a theme now; that's why the 'hipster' style is so popular now

It's THPS or hipster stye ;P

[doomstation55]

Max Garson doing the 5050 landing nosemanual on that like 10 stair rail was pretty fuckin sick. Wouldn't mind seeing that trick done more often.

Yeah, Gipper...I was talking about the Gino trick with a flip in.  Don't be so quick to make us all out to be assholes over here.  You too, can be the asshole.

The First time I saw GB Gillet do the ally-oop front shuv 5-0 grind my mind broke

[Fecal Fury]

You're not wrong, but I know he filmed it like a week after really sorry came out. Which goes to show you how old all his footage was in extremely sorry. Also shows you what a tear he was on that year he won SOTY.

[The Ghost of Lenny Kirk]

the last/most current significant trick is probably silas baxter-neal's 50-50 ollie to 50-50 on two handrails in perpetual motion.no flips or spins, just pure skate evolution. that is some genuinely NEW shit. its crazy to think that 2013 was 3 years ago. its sad that nothing  new is really happening in skateboarding rn, just recycled trends.

honorable mentions:

grant taylor doing the first major drop kink trick on a rail (actual first is huf). that set off a huge trend in skating weird rails

grant taylor skating the under rail in his nike SOTY part, which everyone seems to forget

leo also did a grind-to-grind trick but without an ollie on a rail-to-hubba.

[ungzilla]

i don't know if it already been mentioned, but youness amrani kickflip manual handrail backsmith at the end of his chronicles part was the first thing i saw where i thought "that's some tony hawk pro skater shit"

Indeed I chuckled when I saw the word "significant" juxtaposed with Cole's NBD video or mentions of Billy Marks, P Rod or even tricks performed in the Berrics... Seriously, is it the Steeet League forum ?

[givecigstosurfgroms]

  If someone comes out with a new style of skating that comes with 500 new fuckin tricks, so that the entire skate population compleatly follows his lead,   (and those tricks still run 20 years later) that would be "significant" rite?   -HENRY SANCHEZ 1993-  thats signifacant.  When the things you do 'catch a fire'.
