Almost all of the people posted in this thread have had two or more video parts.

Edit: Unless this thread is assuming a literal usage of 'one hit wonder' as in they only had one part they really recognized for. In that case, a lot of people still had more than one part. I for one am still considering independent video parts, 411 parts, after-their-prime parts and I guess web parts. What about a decent size section in a montage? My post would would be completely invalid as well (Gabriel De La Mora has had a US independent part and a few Mexican ones as I mentioned and didn't Pat Corcoran have a lot of footage in one of the EST videos?). Threadmaker, define your terms please.

nah. Dude is a straight legend. His parts in 1281, useless wooden toys, and that one new deal promo were all epic. He could slappy legit ledges, too.

I agree with pretty much everyone else in this thread except for Victor Fonosch. He didn't really make much of an impact during his short lived skate career to warrant much attention from the collective skateboard populace, so being classified as a one hit wonder is completely out of the question - I can't remember seeing a single trick of him on video, but i think i remember seeing one ad of a crooked grind.

It's got copyright 2001-2009. There hasn't been shit done to it for a long time. I wonder what happened? Skate video site is good but I don't think you can search by the skateboarder and there aren't those great reviews.
Skim The Fat is such an awsome database, too bad its never updated anymore.
we should find the creators and suggest them our help, Pals will write a ton of reviews and get that going again. its imortent to keep a website like that

Tony Tave is on Element again, if you find any of his new ads hes riding Element boards
Danny Sargent is a legend, i'm pretty sure he had a pro model at the end of Schmitt Stix and was Am for them for a while before videos coverage was the norm, i think he also was the first person to back 50 a handrail it was the same rail that Julien did the first front board on.
Victor fonsch is the defintion of flash in the pan, but i did see that kid in Houston one year and he's pretty fucking good.
Jordan Richter was pro for a while i know he rode for New Deal and Goodtimes but his drug issues kept him from ever having a video part or a lot of coverage
Panama Dan was around for a while too, he had a lot of 411 coverage and those 2 toy machine video parts, plus anything that had Boston footage usually had Panama Dan in it, maybe he moved bag to the jungles of Panama to be guerilla fight er with his dad.

I cannot remember the name, but I'd love if someone could help me out, I'd really like to watch the part again. It was in a 411, I'm thinking somewhere in the 40s. He skated like a mix of Pete Eldridge and Travis Stenger. He skated Chaffey pretty much through half of the part. I always forget this dude.... likely because he was a 1 hit wonder. Please help!

PJ? PJ Ladd? In my eyes he shows that his part in WHL was nothing, so much more potential.

co-sign

i love PJ and all that, but i honestly don't get why SLAP gives him a free pass. dude put out one of the most amazing and progressive video parts ever, but c'mon now. PJLWHL was almost 10 years ago. i know he also had a part in Really Sorry (which came out in 2003.)

seriously, he's only had 2 parts his whole career? he looks like he doesn't even smoke weed or drink or have baby-momma drama or suffer from constant injuries. what's his excuse again?

and does anyone know whatever happened to this guy?

Pazelt has a 411 part as well.

But I would still consider him a flash in the pan.
He got a proper job I think- interesting thread. Anthony Mosley was one of the first wave of dudes who were conspicuously marketed specifically with an eye to getting more black kids into skating. A transworld photographer told me he went straight to rails and had only a bare grasp of the basics of rolling around, being able to roll off kerbs switch etc.

I cannot remember the name, but I'd love if someone could help me out, I'd really like to watch the part again. It was in a 411, I'm thinking somewhere in the 40s. He skated like a mix of Pete Eldridge and Travis Stenger. He skated Chaffey pretty much through half of the part. I always forget this dude.... likely because he was a 1 hit wonder. Please help!

yes.

was skating at ucla circa '00 and this asian dude walking to class asked if he could borrow my board.
he ollied up the stage in bruin plaza, pretty much the same height as courthouse in running shoes.
came back to give me my board and turned out it was the john dude of duc and john fame.

I went to the Hastings bowl in Vancouver once and some dude was blasting head high stalefishes over the biggest hip into the deep section.  Got closer and it was Chalmers.  The dude rips so hard...just seems very unlucky with sponsors.
