I gotta say that Blake Carpenters front heel over that LBC hubba in PM was pretty heavy.

Puleo had a great switch one, over one of the grate gaps at flushing meadows, at about 1:52 in his Infamous part

Brockman, Dollin, and Blake Carpenter are the first three that come to mind.
Going into to business with Vallely is the skateboarding equivalent of starting a land war in Asia, just don't.

For sure, in the late 90s early 2000s you couldnt open a mag without seeing three of them switch.

If we're talking about switch ones then Chris Coles switch front heel over Carlsbad was a pretty gnarly one. Way ahead of its time.

Dylan rieder best regs. Paul rodriguez or Bryan Herman best switch.

pretty much this. Although jimmy carlin & theotis have done some pretty good ones too.

its such a weird trick for me. Some days I can do em perfect on flatground and other days I just flail my legs out and nothing happens. I probably just need to practice them more, but they feel so good when I DO land one. it seems like it'd seem super scary to do down sets tho. moreso than something like a frontside flip

It is a really satisfying trick. Def a primo proned trick. Cant even count how many times ive primoed this trick. Switch is soo much easier.

yeah Ive caught that double primo plenty of times with front heels. i feel like im never really in control of it tho. even when i land them clean it feels like i just pop the trick & somehow happen to land on it. I wanna get that "catch" just right ala bryan herman.

Riley Hawk has a good one in bake and destroy. Theotis front heel over a red rail in Debacle. And MJ's switch front heel (above) was tight too
