idk I feel like “streetstyle” and “street skatin” are kinda different. Imo Frank was first “hesh” street skater in the modern sense. No doubt Gonz, Natas, Blender, and Lance were shreddin streets first but Hill was straight huckin.
i totally get this, and these kinds of designations can seem pretty arbitrary at times--as i mentioned above, if a kind of early-modern street-skating based upon the ollie is going to be a starting point, you definitely have to go further back than Frankie Hill.
if plain "hucking" is one end of the historical trajectory, then Hill is one of them for sure. did you happen to watch the Ohio Skateout video? if not, watch the last minute or so--Mark Gonzales' 180 to fakie 50-50 down the contest handrail was absolutely mind-blowing and game-changing at that point, and would still be gnarly today.
Hill was important, but in a very fleeting way, which i guess is all the more reason to document him in this history. the way i understand it, he didn't roll away from a lot of things, which is why his parts are edited the way they are, but i could be wrong--not sure if that has anything to do with what we're talking about here.
edit: i'm too busy (and lazy) right now to do the research myself, but i'm sure a number of these points in time overlap in ways as well. also, to really get an idea of how far ahead of everyone else Mark Gonzales was, watch some of the other skaters--for instance, at that second Oceanside contest, he falls on a number of things, but they're all ollie tricks, including a kickflip, a backtail (stall), and ollieing over an oil drum...
