THE best of his generation by a country mile in my opinion!!!
There's a vid on Denny's Facebook page from 1988, he does a 540 at around 9-10', it's just nuts! It'd be high even by todays standards! His first big air is just SO fooking high, about 12-13'!!!
Daz. :daumenhoch:

The Don :daumenhoch:
-
Mike and Brian were the rulers. And that first air on Denny's vid was more like 14 ft. And it was a granny. Go figure. Great pics, Mark :)
-
Yip he was the Don alright.
I never realised just how high he went, and that 900 is seriously close and on a skinny ramp, Hoffman was carving the whole width of his ramp when he was first trying them.

Looking back on the old king of the skateparks vids he was just way cool...anyone ridden a dominguez diamond back? They look pap. :daumenhoch:

Wow, its a long time since I've seen that. A bit of a weird run from Mike D, the first two airs are massive and that 540, I dont think I've ever seen anyone crank so fast at a quarter pipe :shocked: But after that it seems to go a bit flat, its almost like he scared himself a bit. The 180 barspin air is pretty cool, shame he wheelied on the landing
