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!

Don "The Nuge" Nguyen's El Toro ollie

The Nuge got the Contents photo in the July 2001 issue of Thrasher when he became the first skater to land an ollie down El Toro. However, he had already landed it a week before he shot this photo with Mike Burnett. He had to go back and redo it a week after landing the ollie because the first photographer messed up the photo and it was unusable. You can listen to the whole story (and see the clip of the landed ollie and the attempts for the photo) here.
