Mark Appleyard's kickflip back tail bigspin

In the first half of the 2000s, it seemed like Mark Appleyard could do anything he wanted on a skateboard, and look good doing it. His kickflip backside tailslide bigspin out on a handrail from his Really Sorry part is indicative of that time in his career. 20 years later, that same trick on a ledge could still feasibly appear in a pro skater's video part. As has been said by the others, the best sign of how incredible this trick is, is Tom Penny's reaction of disbelief after Mark rolls away.

Below is the two-page Volcom ad of the sequence of the trick, which was published in celebration of Apple winning the 2003 Thrasher SOTY award.
