oh god i know this
its on an interview on a props video i have
the guy being interviewed (i forget his name too!) was on about people calling it a "joe rich" style turndown, and he said who invented it.
the trick was originally called something else, that had the guys name in the title, a play on words. stupid old brain - work damn you
-
i am i thinking of a lookdown :-*
-
no i was thinking an "invert", called a "timvert" (by tim someone the inventor)
so we are no closer to the answer and i have a shameful 3 posts in a row.
-
LOL
The trick i was thinking of was called a Turndown orginally but have heard it called a lookdown as well.
Not heard of a Timvert though :-)
-
so who invented it?
was it harry leary?
-
Leary invented the Leary..which on vert was a Lookback.
Lets give it a while longer...i am enjoying this ;)

Dennis McCoy

I think you could be right about the Cherrypicker...or was it Martin Aparijo???
I will give you a clue on the Turndown....the guys first name was Mark
-
Cherry Picker -
The cherrypicker is one of Martin Aparijo 's inventions.
Derek Oriee, www.vintagebmx.com, february 2005 : Urban legend states that Martin Aparijo invented the cherry picker on a skateboard first before converting it to a bmx freestyle trick.

Turndown = Look Down
Dave Voelker 1984 - Dave Voelker, Ride US february 2001 : I was riding a quarterpipe trying to invent an air where I would go straight up in the air, hesitate until I was coming down backwards, and then turn around and go back into the ramp. When I was coming back down I would twist my body to where it came into a lookdown position.
-
dave voelker rules
-
I agree that Voelker rules, but i don't think he invented the turndown....i think it was a guy called Mark McGlynn that road for Haro (i think)
However when it comes to owning that trick....i think that honour goes to Carlo....clicked or what???

Crab Ride - You don't mean MS?

mason would do a bar hop, then stretch his legs to the pedals and pedal while sitting on the bars.
going back a few years though - like 22 . . .

I remeber that now, he used to do it on the path in Burns Road near the park and near the shop - outside Royston Rockets track.
We also all did a freestyle show and had a C5 zooming around too which was recorded (i'll have to get that dug out) ...... wow how the brain forgets. ;)
