do people still have "signature moves?"
does dave mirra do a "dave" ?
i recall bitd there was
ruff hops
jd turnover (jess)
the stupple (roll back 360 1 hand 1 foot)
woody hops (stood on the front wheel?)
the wilkerson ("hardest" kickturn in the book)
the peterson
there was more, i am sure
-
Vanderroll (rip)
Wilton
i am sure there are more 8)
-
The Stupple should be a reverse slider into a 540 spin 1 handed 1 footed with both wheels on the ground, would love to show you but I can`t do it anymore :( and now that I`m not using a coaster anymore I doubt that I ever will :(
-
was funny watching you try at southsea though Bill
-
The "Siddy" by Mark "Sid" Salisbury
It was a jump with a sort of turn down table top - one footed I think.
-
yeh i remember the siddy
i meant to say "wilton" not wilkerson (the x up one hand foot kickturn that even bob haro couldnt do)
-
The Leary. Now known as a lookback.
People don't really have proper signature moves anymore, its more like they're known to have a few specialities done in their own style. These days everybody seems to be able to do everything....
-
Vanderspek is dead ?????
-
sadly yes
-
their still a few sig tricks, like ronnie suridge has the 360 invert, denis mcoy has no handed flair, scotty cranner is a front fliper, morgan wade does tail whip super mans i think they called super whips.. and a few other people have their own thing going on ..its all good.

the weston "hit the ramp at high speed,go 10 to 15 ft in the air,wake up in hospital the following day"
the mike d "kickturn on the kellogs ramp,only go 100 degrees,fall off the side over your bars"
the first one i made up but we used to use the name of the second one when someone did a really easy trick & fell off....

the mike d "kickturn on the kellogs ramp,only go 100 degrees,fall off the side over your bars"

Ok just to get your cogs turning this morning:
Who was the rider that first did 50/50 pegs stalls and back in on vert....? He doesnt really ever get credit for this as its often overlooked.
-
i remember seeing craig campbell do a pedal stall on a qp on bmx beat - 86 ish?
-
Yep it was Craig who gets the credit for that underated piece of lip trick inovation....opened the door for grinds, smith-feeble, tooth pics, ice picks and whatever else I guess. Fk thought it wouldve taken at least an hour or so before anyone got that one.....
-
Actually got me thinking this morning I knew two guys up here who both had CC prolites. Might have to do a bit of hunting around.
-
andy ruffel in 85 did the first nose pick
albeit with 1000 hops - ruff hops!!!
i remember seeing a pic of rl osbourne jumping out on to the top of a qp and landing in an arse-on-the-back-wheel endo
that would be 84 ish, maybe 85
