Allegedley first 540 was Woody Itson, strange but true. Josh White was apparently doing them before he made the big time and before any of the big names were doing them, however Mike D was the first to start doing really massive 540's ie in the 6-8ft region. Mike D did do the first tailwhip flyout though and did the first no foot can can, Brian Blyther did the first tailwhip on the ground.

I remember hearing a debate between Woody Itson and the GT team manager at the 84 Pipeline King of the Skateparks final.  It went like this:
GT Manager (I can't remember his name)-"Eddie did 540's before Dominguez did".
Woody Itson-"There's a difference between a 540 air above coping like Mike and doing a glorified 540 bunnyhop on the transition like some others".

I love Eddie Fiola but I had to agree with Woody on that one.

Damn. That's a pity. That means my huge styled "airs" are technically  glorified 180 bunnyhops on the transition. :LolLolLolLol:
