Title: Best tricks never done that were almost done
Post by: Pete on February 12, 2021, 05:21:59 AM
Title says it all. Best trick you heard went down or saw that was close to being made but wasnt rolled away from. Preferably ones that were way ahead of their time.

Here’s 2 examples:

Pops switchflip love a decade before ishod. At night.


At the top of courthouse drop in nyc (people skate into the bank or grind the ledge and pop into it then roll off.) there is a tall guardrail preventing you from skating into it straight on properly. People either ollie up from the side then in or I guess it’s a quick throwdown then pop from a slight angle.

In 2007 or 08 Jake Johnson did fs180 over the guardrail then fakie fs flip into the bank. Popped higher than a trashcan too. Did a bunch where he stepped off or landed too close to the steps. Eventually broke his board and was over it. Never heard about that one being tried after that. Never seen anyone else go over the rail before skating into it either.

Yall name some. Doesn’t gotta be pros, can def be the homies.

There was a promo for some am video many moons ago and someone locked in a noolie heel bs noseblunt but bailed it.

Never saw the video, never found out if it was a make. Was just a solid trick miles ahead of its time at that stage.

I hope my vagueness and lack of specifics or good info has been a good read.

my boy Ghost almost did front blunt kicklfip to fakie on that flat black handrail in far rockaway. rodent was shooting the sequence too, would have been ill to see that in thrasher back then when flipping out of rails was much more rare than it is now. he took a break for a minute but hes got new footage dropping soon hes been killing shit.
also for such an out of the way spot alot of pros have skated that far rock rail. feel like ive seen footage of fucking p-rod there. who took prod to far rock haha.

also jake was with us that day too and only tried it twice, but landed on and stepped off treflip bs noseslide down the same rail both tries. this was 2008 as well. good times watching that dude film for mindfield.

-I've heard mentions of someone trying to big flip Wallenburg in a bunt interview, again cant remember the name of the skater but I know the spot this time.
-Chris Joslyn tre flip el torro if it hasn't been said.
-Rick Mccrank nollie hardflip carslbad would've been cool for the time

guy mariano was super close to ss3f at the van owen bump in 96. koston did it regular in his menikmati part 4 years later and it was still slo-mo worthy, which illustrates how fucked guy's make would have been.

there's a bunch of penny ones. one i would've loved to see was 3fns on vert. there's some mid 90s footage of him getting pretty close.

Heath's lip was the first thing I thought of. Watching it on that beagle tape filled me with anxiety. Must've been heavy to be there. The amount of times he stomped it and the beatings he took equals a make in my book.

i can't provide a source, just jumbled misremembered hearsay, but it's more one of those where you could count it or not depending on how harsh/generous you are. i heard he landed a little sketchy, rolled down the bank but then lost control trying to make the switch fs carve as he came up the other side (which given he goes with quite tight trucks, probably would've needed to be a pivot). guess it depends whether you see that as part of landing the trick, or a separate thing.

Jerry Hsu is the king of this for me (unfortunately). Cant find the clips now but In some bside from Emerica he does the single best looking nollie backside flip I’ve ever seen down a massive six block (the one Reynolds half cab flips) and stomps it a few times. In another one he almost lands an amazing sw hardflip over a huge handrail but ends up nutting himself on the rail in the most unfortunate way. Those would have been two of my all time favourite tricks.

He did make that, it was his ender in Sabo 4.

Also, his attempts were equally impressive. Jumping down the love gap, missing the flip and just landing on his feet like it's nothing.

Might have been the last, sickest thing done there. I'd definitely rate it above TJ's varial flip.

My favorite part about this is what he said on the bunt, that he basically felt like he had to film a part because he got the trick and didn’t want it just thrown in a random montage.

Milton Martinez’s gap to crook on this rail


my boy Ghost almost did front blunt kicklfip to fakie on that flat black handrail in far rockaway. rodent was shooting the sequence too, would have been ill to see that in thrasher back then when flipping out of rails was much more rare than it is now. he took a break for a minute but hes got new footage dropping soon hes been killing shit.
also for such an out of the way spot alot of pros have skated that far rock rail. feel like ive seen footage of fucking p-rod there. who took prod to far rock haha.

also jake was with us that day too and only tried it twice, but landed on and stepped off treflip bs noseslide down the same rail both tries. this was 2008 as well. good times watching that dude film for mindfield.

Prod also threw down a handful of tricks down the ten set everyone skates in Bayside, Queens. Also, wondering how he ended up there.

sorry not linking the video, but Markovich kickflip attempts at the love gap is one, and also Dyrdek's battle with him for kickflip Carlsbad.  Two almost done kickflips that would have been a big deal.

It wasn’t that amazing a trick, but this thread makes me think of Caswell Berry falling on his ender in Bag of Suck

We all know Jeremy Wray's fs 360 down Love doesn't count

There is only one real answer here. Before getting absolutely murdered, Dan Pageau actually got close to landing the switch front board down the middle rail at el toro.

Shane's switch flip attempt down an 18 comes to mind, probably would have been one of the best switch flips done had he gotten it.

Walker Ryan sw bs flip at love.
[close]

He did make that, it was his ender in Sabo 4.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3RS7BhWOLs

Also, his attempts were equally impressive. Jumping down the love gap, missing the flip and just landing on his feet like it's nothing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxffb_1k3us

Might have been the last, sickest thing done there. I'd definitely rate it above TJ's varial flip.

Awesome he did make it in the end, totally went under my radar.

I came here to post Nick dompierre backside noseblunt, but was reminded of that insane switch flip attempt by Shane. He also tried to switch flip the Jeremy Wray triple set ain't got broke off.


Can someone correct me on this if I'm wrong? I thought that Rowley said that the frontside lipslide on that big rail that Stuart shot was a make?  He just didn't have a filmer.

The story is in the caption here. Says he rolled away 50 feet but that doesn't seem to be the case. Either one of the attempts is missing or he doesn't know how long a foot is

This reads like the 50 foot make wasn't in this footage.
