As far as I know, there have been six tricks done at this spot:
- Jamie Thomas, fs 50-50 (Misled Youth) and fs Smith (Dying To Live)
- Jim Greco, fs boardslide (no footage) and fs lipslide (Baker 3)
- Jordan Hoffart, bs feeble & bs crooks (Fun)
I can only assume that Jamie's tricks appeared in magazines, but if they did they're either in magazines I don't own (most likely TWS, SLAP or Thrasher) or I haven't found them yet in my 2001~2003 Skateboarders. If anyone knows where they are, please let me know!
I don't know if Greco's front boardslide was a land, as there is no footage of it published anywhere. My guess is that he didn't roll away or didn't like how he rolled away, but the cover was published anyways as Greco may have intended to go back and get the boardslide for the clip. The photo is really sick, and maybe someday we will see the clip(s). Or, maybe Greco landed it, but the footage got fucked up somehow and he figured that if he was going to go back, he might as well try the lipslide instead.
I feel like because I said something about Jamie and Greco, I have to say something about Jordan. His Fun part is still so crazy for today's standards. Go watch it if you haven't see in. First trick is a front tail down Staples Center...!
