Micah is an underrated legend.

It's crazy how many people didn't get the point of this thread. It's not people who are known for doing one trick multiple different times. It's people who came out of no where, did one difficult trick on one spot and so you'd think they'd be big, but fizzled out after.

Gee how dare so many of us misinterpret a 3 word thread title. We’ll do better next time promise

Probably that dude at the end of that Chicago video that grinds that long assssssss fucking rail that Jamie Thomas grinds at the end of welcome to hell in the credits. That dude did it first. Whoever he was.
John Lucero milked slappies like the spoiler alert!!!!!turtles get milked in mutant mayham but he made shit up so he can do that. If you make up a fundamental you in a different  category then one hit wonders. You a classic.

It's a really simple concept tbf

note the difference between one trick pony and one trick wonder

Read the first fucking post:
Any people who became known only because of a single trick they landed once only to be never heard from again?

Nobody really ever mentions Jub outside of “the drop”, or when he happens to be in town.

SLAP’s reading comprehension scores are showing. It’s okay though, we’re just talking about skateboarding. Maybe the prevailing conversation is the more interesting one.

Lol 3 trick pony

Anytime I’m at a skate park I only do 1 foot frontside rock and rolls on quarter pipes. I only got one trick in me.

He also had that kickflip 90 degree double set on Valencia Street. 5 trick pony, max.

Alan "ollie" Gelfand

Great video, I have a funny Alan Gelfand story I figured I would share. I work at a skate shop in a pretty small city in Canada, it's in a bit of a sketchy area so we often get homeless people coming in that used to skate or even sometimes trying to steal shit. Anyways one day this older dude barges in and right away asks me who invented the ollie, I figured he was out of his mind, the way he came in asking was really rude. I actually at the time didn’t even know who invented the ollie lol so I just said I dunno buddy rodney mullen? The guy gave me a dirty look and basically demanded I google the name Alan Gelfand and then he will be back in an hour. It was a weird ass encounter, but nothing really out of the ordinary for me. Once he left I was curious, so I googled it and found out it is Alan Gelfand who is credited with inventing the ollie, he also had a pro board on Powell at some point. Then to my surprise after a google image search it was the fucking dude! He never came back in, unfortunately, but I have told this story to a few friends, and it turns out this has happened to other people that work at skate shops too, and never in a cool way. Alan Gelfands a weird guy.

Perfect time to revive this.

Daniel Gesmer was only known for his sensual carving

I promise you, Mr. Gesmer has a few more tricks up his sleeve.
