Always liked Chet Thomas’s fsf on mini ramp 
fuck off, greco has done nothing great. apart from backlip shove it in misled youth.
Best kickflip, FS flip, Switch FS flip, Switch flip all start at 0.05 bunched together in one session.

Nice one cheers, actually not really anything special on flat imo
Probably explains why he only does them down big stuff in parts
^ That one was way better, still not up with the Carroll, Sariamento, JB on flat levels. It’s popped and caught well just a bit ‘clunky’ if that makes sense

Tom Asta has a good one.
No he has the worst style apparently…
True.
Hmm, no mention of PJ.
1:33 is a relaxed flatland one.
There’s another before in this vid too.
Herman has best switch frontside flip
Sewa Kroetkov is a good shout. The ones in this are even better
This is the correct answer for sure.
There is a canon in skateboarding and as far as manipulated in the air flip tricks go, Tom is William Shakespeare.

And yes, as TP has said himself, whilst Shipman (along with Jeremy Wray) established the modern technique - Tom owns that trick for now and forever. On street and on transition.
Undeniable.
0:28 in this is the best one ever done on tranny too.

Re the above (apologies in advance for the [/cmoac]) - I wrote a thing called ‘Not a Toy’ about this section (well this video but mainly about Tom’s part) that ended up being cannibalized by Iain Borden for the first (?) ever academic book about skateboarding - the one with Harry on the cover. The stuff re Tom’s dimension-shift is used in the intro.
It’s really difficult to explain just how mind-bending that was when it came out but, if you’re 30+, you know.
That part changed everything in the same way that Gonz’s VideoDays part did.

best thing Greco ever did was re-edit his Baker 3 part to Bohemian Rhapsody. glorious. I can’t imagine a more suitable skater for that track
