Examples of this would be Daewon doing a fakie flip fakie b/s 5-0 (or fakie flip switch b/s nosegrind, whatever you wanna call it), or Jon Allie doing a kickflip front tail.

And I'm not talking about common tricks like Reynolds and Penny with frontside flips, I'm talking about lesser-seen moves.

I know you weren't going for flat ground tricks but speaking of FS Flips one that is never mentioned is Sewa. I know its flat ground but he never half asses a FS Flip.

I saw lutska do those 360 frontside kfs in person and he has them wired.  Everything I saw him do he had wired.  Not bad style per se but not memorable.  I prefer the Tom Penny one .   It's on the "cult of tom".

Daewon doing a fakie flip fakie b/s 5-0
Let's add in blunt 360 flip on a QP and all fakie manual combinations (180 in, fakie flip in, switch heel in, etc.) to fakie flip or fakie 360 flip out. When I see Daewon do those tricks, I'm impressed. When I see other people do those tricks I'm shocked.

Any switch back tail combination (flips in, spins and flips out) with Shane O'Neill. He already switch flip back tailed to switch backside 270 flip out and can do more basic versions on command. When I see him do any of these I am underwhelmed, for others I am impressed.

This one has the opposite effect for me. Tony doing a 900 is a real achievement. When I see 12 year olds huck then on mega ramps it’s underwhing, which is surreal if you think about it.

360 flip noseslide by anyone really, because it's a fucking hard trick but seeing somebody do one always makes me think that it's not

Big spin front board and switch flip front tails- Ellington
f/s 360 tricks- Lutzka
Back in the day J. Wray's frontside 360's were so far above everybody else's that it almost seemed like a different, easier trick

Raven Tershy - fs 180 fakie 5-0 on steep transition.
Did one on a 3-footer and it took nearly an hour. Don't know how he does it so clean.

Switch Tre. Always an impressive trick but Bobby Worrest makes them look as easy as a simple push. Same with sw backside nose blunts.

Bam Margera SSBSTS, it's a respectful classic trick but he's overdone them. Has he ever done a regular back tail?

Jereme Rogers - Switch 360 flip because he can't do them regular 360 flips. And come to think of it, any trick where the skater does them switch or fakie but can't do them regular, like switch big spin heels.

Luan Oliveria - Hardflips, I don't the way he does them with the whole front leg tuck in.

Nakel - Nollie hardflips

Sage - Front tails

There are exceptions for some skaters who repeats tricks, like Daewon, Creager, Reynolds, Penny, Herman. We know they have their signature tricks but they do them so well that I don't mind.

I hear what you are saying on 900s but my immediate answer to this thread was going to be "Most of Tony Hawk's tricks."
