When I was coming up in skateboarding, when you landed a trick and your toe was dragging on the ground, we called it "tagging".

It was always a redo, especially when on camera. Most people when filming would try a quick recovery attempt and shuffle feet but the damage was already done... sometimes the adjustment drew more attention to the violation.

What are the worst, most noticeable "Toe Drags" in recorded skateboarding history?

Obviously we are all thinking about Kevin Harris in Public Domain, so I would like to put him for at least one of my answers.

Andy Anderson, I cannot sanction your buffoonery.

I thought :43 and 1:43 were ghastly back in 1990 or whatever

actually this whole part is kinda hideous, and I was a huge Powell fanboy

How it’s perceived definitely matters on the style of who is doing it IMO. Dollin or someone on anti hero toe dragging a trick on a sketchy gap or something comes off a lot different from a primitive dude toe dragging the landing on some hypertech manual or grind.

I feel like Ben Gilley had some in black label videos but I can’t remember.

Saw Mark a few days ago. He has really gained some weight.

Not to detract from the thread, but is that two guys or he was killing handrails like that switch back then?
