If we're talking about switch ones then Chris Coles switch front heel over Carlsbad was a pretty gnarly one. Way ahead of its time.

Dylan rieder best regs. Paul rodriguez or Bryan Herman best switch.

pretty much this. Although jimmy carlin & theotis have done some pretty good ones too.

its such a weird trick for me. Some days I can do em perfect on flatground and other days I just flail my legs out and nothing happens. I probably just need to practice them more, but they feel so good when I DO land one. it seems like it'd seem super scary to do down sets tho. moreso than something like a frontside flip

It is a really satisfying trick. Def a primo proned trick. Cant even count how many times ive primoed this trick. Switch is soo much easier.

yeah Ive caught that double primo plenty of times with front heels. i feel like im never really in control of it tho. even when i land them clean it feels like i just pop the trick & somehow happen to land on it. I wanna get that "catch" just right ala bryan herman.

Switch is so common place it's not even worth mentioning

Regs award definitely goes to Rieder on a count of how good they are and then on how much shit he's done them over

I've only seen Blake do like 1 or 2 (maybe) but if he can continuously bust them over gnarly shit then he might take the top spot
