Every gap trick at El Toro (almost)

This is every photo of most of the tricks that have been done down El Toro that I could find in magazines, spanning from The Nuge's ollie in 2001 to Chris Joslin's 360 flip in 2025. Please let me know if you know of any photos I am missing!

Dennis Does Paris: The Adidas Team in Gay Paree

*this is actually the 2nd time I've posted this article - I had forgotten to check if I'd already posted it when I did this one. Oh well. Didn't catch it until almost a year after the 2nd post, so I'm going to keep them both up.

This article from the May 2008 issue of Skateboarder covers an adidas trip to Paris, which produced a 9-minute DVD that was included in the issue. Tim O'Connor did the write-up, and Benjamin Deberdt took the photos (aside from a few incidentals by Bryce Kanights).

Interviews from the July 2010 Thrasher Interview Issue

Title says it all. BA's stands out from the rest, all of his photos are classic. I remember seeing the bluntslide clip for the first time and being amazed at how he rode through the kink and made it look so easy. And a hurricane grind on Hubba Hideout is so, so epic... I guess not epic enough for the people who made Pretty Sweet, though, as the clip only made it into a bonus footage montage on the DVD/Blu-ray. Had to make room for the Will Arnett skit, maybe.
