I second that. Here's the clip at 1:28

I remember seeing this when it came out and going "Allright.....so THAT'S where vert is going in the future. Allright..... shit's gonna change" It never really did but the clip is still pretty stunning.

That was sick but it wasn't on vert.

Colin has the best looking flip ricks on vert for sure, or at least he used to before...

Even though its been done switch, Bob's 3 flip to fakie in Menikmati was so nice.
Jake Brown frontside flip revert was nice too.
Colin McKay used to be all about the nollie b/s flip revert

Well Salabanzi's kickflip counts, but we'll have disqualify Penny for this particular topic because it's not a kickflip fakie on vert, but on oververt.

Sorry Tom.

Hey Duffy

I can't reply to your message as my PM things not working, i dunno if Stu's going to be there, he's going to be at Livi this year which is in 2 weeks, but he's down for any road trip so i guess he'll probably be there, but he's seriously the nicest guy in the world

Post by: Duffy on June 16, 2007, 07:18:39 PM
Ah shit
Definetly didn't see that, haha. I started to think I exited out before sending it.
Thanks for the reply, I'll probably head up there then.
That contest/demo is the 1st, so since I'm not sure about Livi..yeah. Thanks for the reply.
