[chuck d]

It's hard to say top five all time. Top most technically difficult? Top most dangerous?
These are probably the top five etched into my memory...

[WantSomeSlaw]

pretty surprised no one mentioned Jaws' ollie down the Boulala set

And this thread is ultra kooky

[poor alice]

I like this thread idea simply because it's made me revisit some certified classic parts.

Some ideas (and certainly subjective). I think this post would be more enjoyable if you consider it more as "some of the best and most memorable tricks / photos.

Switch Fs Boardslide.


Bs Lip.


Steep Crook.


This Wallride and the clip in Slaughterhouse.


This passes by quickly in Yeah Right! Love this picture.


It's been said but didn't see the photo untill now.


The best kickflip crooked grind.


Not the best but this thing has always looked massive, even with Duffel's 6ft+ frame flying across it.


Gunshot Landing.


Worth watching all of Misled Youth for.


Impossible or 360 shove?


First try. Lots of roll-ups, yes, but putting this to the ground on his first proper attempt as security are walking up is a sure way to earn your place in the collective skate consciousness (as if he hadn't already achieved this years previous).


Still unreal to this day. This was a serious mind-fuck the first time I saw this. I love Justin and am kicking myself because I can't find a scan of the eS advert with the sequence of this trick.


All of these done by Stefan.


I think I was around 13 when I first saw VideoRadio on VHS, it took me about a year to work out what this trick was.


Dobstaff's impeccable Salads.



An example of some natural innate talent.





Nyberg's underrated excellence.





Some beautiful Reynolds pics.

I wish this photo didn't make Wilshire look so small.


I love how you can tell what trick this is even if (for some reason) you hadn't seen the footage. Well timed photo.


Stay fuckin' gold Boss.


Crazy Liverpudlian.

1998!


Say what you will, Billy has some style.





I could go on, but I can't find a gif of Danny Brady's London Bridge double flip.

[Wizard Fight]

Heath's kickflip front 50 at UCI.

Arto's front board El Toro.

Daan's back nb in S.F.

Greco's ollie into L.a. carwash.
