That's really interesting. Although I've played around with a longboard I never got into skateboarding in a big way so I wouldn't feel qualified to write about it. Another interesting example is the Triple Cork in snowboarding:
Torstein Horgmo debuted it in 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFGqkq3QqRE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFGqkq3QqRE
And now they're expected at each X Games: http://snowboarding.transworld.net/1000194812/featuresobf/two-new-triple-corks-at-2013-x-games-big-air-torstein-horgmo-wins/ http://snowboarding.transworld.net/1000194812/featuresobf/tw...
- goatforce5 13y agoSpeaking of X Games and skateboarding... Tony Hawk's first 900 was pretty neat. He was getting close to doing it, but couldn't quite nail the landing and it was decided to let him just keep trying until he got it. Even though it was over regulation time and it took him 10 tries they awarded him first place and none of the other competitors protested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/900_(skateboarding) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/900_(skateboarding) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YYTNkAdDD8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YYTNkAdDD8
