That BOOTLEG part is all time & he is still around skating. I think he still on Vans?

Carlos Ruiz for sure.

I think this is the most obvious choice:

Unless you have access to Mexican independent videos, this guy:

He should be on BLVD!

Jeremy Holmes I guess... I'm surprised I even remember that name since all I saw from him was an Ezekiel ad from a six year old Transworld mag.

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.

nah. Dude is a straight legend. His parts in 1281, useless wooden toys, and that one new deal promo were all epic. He could slappy legit ledges, too.

I agree with pretty much everyone else in this thread except for Victor Fonosch. He didn't really make much of an impact during his short lived skate career to warrant much attention from the collective skateboard populace, so being classified as a one hit wonder is completely out of the question - I can't remember seeing a single trick of him on video, but i think i remember seeing one ad of a crooked grind.

Not sure if Chris Swanson was ever a "hit", but I know what you mean.

Pazelt has a 411 part as well.

But I would still consider him a flash in the pan.

He had footage in some logic videos and I think a short part in a Santa Barbara video called "Underdogs".
