That's what came to mind for me. But whiteley's mention of a double heelflip in the "ain't taking this thread for granted : )" thread got me curious about what other random epic tricks may have gone down. I mean, it was the 90s, so much weird shit went down then. Anybody else?

I like this topic even if nobody else is posting. I always thought Mike Carroll's almost/kind of acceptable in the early 90's bigspin heel was insane.

48 Blocks: What's the hardest trick for you personally that you've put down?

Lavar: That I ever did?

48 Blocks: Yeah, the toughest to you...

Lavar: The hardest trick that I ever did without filming would probabaly be an impossible down the Seven. That was my favorite trick that I ever did. At Embarcadero, I did an impossible down the Seven at Embarcadero. That's one of my favorite tricks, cause that's a hard trick to bring through the air and everthing....

I always liked Duffy's b/s 360, since it was one of the first time I'd seen an ollie 360 down something.
