from what i have read, josh is credited with it
but he says cannot take full credit as there is a chance someone somewhere could be doing it at the same time

Marco Lara did indeed pull 540s at Rom.  He was doing a kinda-sorta 540 a year earlier, it was 360 or more in air and a wee pivot out to finish it. He was doing those on the concrete banks next to the halfpipe wall.  He then went into the performance bowl and did them properly.  Either myself or my old riding buddy has some stills somewhere, which i will endeavour to scan in sometime.

Marco was the Rom ruler. the original burly rider who rode everything at full speed usually yelling some incomprehensible command to get out of his way  ;D ;D ;D.  A good friend to me, shame he's not about riding these days. I saw him at Rom around 99-00 ish, he had a fully tricked out Ripper and was riding the moguls with his son  :)

Ain't seen him since though. Pity.  :)
