luan and hot take ishod. don't think he's ever had a part that's fully showcased his skill

You don’t think TNT’s In Bloom part wasn’t his defining part (got him SOTY)

Creager may not have had THE part, but he had some pretty damn good parts along the way.   Round 2 and Menikmati work very well for me, but Menikmati hurts bc its literally “phoned in” and could have been so much more

I undesrtand magnus opus is "the greatest achievement of an artist/skater". So yeah, In Bloom was great for TNT but is it "his greatest achievement"? Some GOATs had great parts but did they accomplish their greatest work at their peak? That's why I grouped Creager and Salman in there...

Remember TNT’s SOTY interview in thrasher - that sequence of the kickflip over the really long drive way - anyone got that? Think it might be at San Jose park?

Trilogy and what if were both magnum opus parts for creager.

I'd say Baca's Baker 4 part was his magnum opus. And Gravette has had plenty of good parts.

Tim Upson was one of the best but he didn’t like to film. I used to film with him a little.

I am a big fan of Updog. The little footage of him is all gold

Luan

Those are the best 3 examples I can come up with...

There are skaters like Heath and JT who definitely had BIG EVENT energy to several parts that made them feel like they had several

Most skaters that died early but especially Keenan. Was coming into peak phase right as that happened.
