Panama Dan had another Toy part and a 411 part. Does anyone object to titling this thread "flash in the pan" or something like that? I think there is a lot more to be discussed on that front.

It's got copyright 2001-2009. There hasn't been shit done to it for a long time. I wonder what happened? Skate video site is good but I don't think you can search by the skateboarder and there aren't those great reviews.

Skim The Fat is such an awsome database, too bad its never updated anymore.
we should find the creators and suggest them our help, Pals will write a ton of reviews and get that going again. its imortent to keep a website like that

Almost all of the people posted in this thread have had two or more video parts.

Edit: Unless this thread is assuming a literal usage of 'one hit wonder' as in they only had one part they really recognized for. In that case, a lot of people still had more than one part. I for one am still considering independent video parts, 411 parts, after-their-prime parts and I guess web parts. What about a decent size section in a montage? My post would would be completely invalid as well (Gabriel De La Mora has had a US independent part and a few Mexican ones as I mentioned and didn't Pat Corcoran have a lot of footage in one of the EST videos?). Threadmaker, define your terms please.

Well, I don't see why anyone would want to change the meaning of the term "one hit wonder". Common sense kinda dictates that most of these guys would have more than one part.

I know he's already been named, but I feel like this thread was made for Alex Gall, got a video part out of no where and then threw his career away.

Seriously. He fucking killed it in In Bloom and zero gave him a pro board but he disappeared.

I was going to say Rammy Issa but then I googled him and saw that he still skates.

How about Vinnie Vegas? I thought that guy was awesome and then he disappeared.

I was kind of bummed whenever I found out he wasn't on the team anymore. He killed it for sure.

Still, even if we used a literal definition of "one hit wonder" 95% of the people in this thread had more than one part that immediately comes to mind for me. Ahhhhh fuck it, I will just stay out of this thread. Enjoy everyone.

that one vert skater guy with some bird for a last name. He came out with one bagel bites commercial years ago, and then *poof*, nowhere to be seen, he probably found other hobbies....

He got really into drinking and doing drugs and partying and what not and got kinda big, there is a clip of him chilling in Baker 3 and hes significantly larger than he used to be, beer belly hard.

i dont know if he fits the "wonder" requirement, but Brian Michaud in Bootleg3000

Not quite the same, but vincent leuzanoz(sp!!!). Won some shitty element contest and at the end they announced that he is fully on the team.then he hardflipped off a roof and now he's baker flow. also he can only do gaps so he's a one note one hit oneder.
