Trying to settle a debate with a friend who thinks he invented the dolphin flip around 2002. he calls it an “Ollie Nollie hard flip”

Chris fissel was doing dolphin flips back in ‘91 when he first got on new deal, not sure if he initially invented them because there were a few others doing them around the same time, that trick has been around a lot longer before people like Darrel Stanton and Matt beach started doing them. Ali mills was doing them too, remember that dude from the video “a quiet storm”? That guy was light years ahead, Ali was probably the first person to do a nollie flip. No offense or anything but you need to dig deeper into skateboarding‘a past, that trick was done at least a decade before any of the skateboarders that were mentioned.

Aaron "jenkos" Jenkin was doing them way before 2002. In Aus for a long time they were known as a jenkos flip but couldn't say if that's still the case for anyone under 30.
