@@heneedsummelk117 Falling on a rail and hitting the flat bottom isn't fun either. All you have to do with drops and gaps is commit, to skate a 20 stair rail takes lots of skill.
Bachinsky kickflip is still the gnarliest thing in my opinion. That was like 15 years ago too. So insane. I was in high school at the time and w my friends and I opened a magazine to see the sequence of the kickflip. It blew all of our minds.
definitely up there - i remember when he did it too - everyone was in disbelief but i think if i had seen clive dixon do the nollie noseblunt at that time i would have shit my pants lmaoo
The kickflip is definitely number 1 by far. Nobody else did a flip tricks yet (expect jaws). Respect to all the rail tricks but now a lot of people can just destroy the rail so all the one who have jumped the stairs are definitely before
I agree the grinds are gnarly , but for me Bachinsky's kickflip will always be my personal favorite. The man literally gaps like 5 feet past the stairs . He was going so fast , just a monumental piece of skate history . But all tricks accomplished here are legendary
@@commie281 yeah it isn't a matter of whats harder, they are completely different tricks with completely different consequences for fucking up. tricks down the stairs have always been more mind blowing than down the rail for me. but the of course that nollie noseblunt was too much
Super easy part to forget since it was like 2 minutes long and half bails, but Carlos Ruiz did a back lip in Blind's What If. I was hoping that was in here
Jamie Foy rolled up, 50-50'd the rail twice back to back 1st and 2nd try as a warm up and then proceeded to land the front crook on the 1st try... LEGEND FOR THAT ONE
Any true skater knows Switch Ollie is far more impressive than Switch 180... The fact you have fly down that thing parallel the whole time on your abnormal side, and then also landing switch... that's so much more difficult than popping to face forwards and then landing regular.
The back tail is very impressive but flipping your board down a gap that size is much more difficult. The kickflip is number 1 in my opinion plus it was like over 15 years ago. To catch a flip trick down that big of a gap is more impressive than the back tail. Imo. Only other number 1 would be nuge for being the first to ollie it, also first try.
I don’t think most people even realize the amount of stuff that’s gone down there. Whenever I see most people comment on tricks they usually always talk about 5 or so tricks on the rail & the same amount of tricks down the stairs. That rail has been annihilated. Nollie back 50-50, noseblunt, back smith, front smith, nosegrind, 5-0, back 5-0, back salad, front feeble, back crook, pretty sure noseslide, back feeble & im sure I’m forgetting a few in addition to more I still haven’t seen. The one trick down the set that I think deserves more recognition is the back 180. Dude took a beating before he finally got it too
The back tail no doubt. Bc no one is even mentioning that he ate a gnarly slam, picked up his glasses, wiped the blood off his face and stomped it. GoAT
The back tail gives me nightmares. I want to know how many tries it took him. Ima get an interview with in the future and see. I'll get back to you on that
@@LimitlessCulture yo dude you can watch the raw footage now on UA-cam if you want to see it. He did it for over an hour, so like 10-15 attempts I think? 2-3 where he eatsssss it. The falls where you palms sweat while your watching it through youtube.... imagine that shit irl... I cannot 😂 fuck that
That front crook still one of the gnarliest trick done on that spot for me. The control for Jaime didnt slipped or worst, got stuck mid way was unbelievable. Also the set of balls he got is pretty impressive too 😅
I agree the front crook should have been number 1 the rails steep and to front crook it you're nose diving but I believe Ben gilleys 5-0 first try should have been on here
I personally think that Derek Tracy‘s early grab down this was also pretty gnarly, just sending it full speed and hanging on for his life with that landing
Honestly I think the back tail is the most impressive thing here (granted everything in this video is insane). There is no bailing from that trick at all, you're zooming down the rail with the back of your body turned to it, if you slip out after locking in, you're falling straight on the rail. Can't believe anyone has the balls to commit to something like that.
Back tail should be #1. If you miss the lock in, you're falling backwards down the whole stair set, and if one of your feet catches on the rail you can flip onto your head.
Seanjon916 literally people do stairs and stuff and some of them like roll into a wall or grass after like 10 feet, and joslin rolled at least 10-15 feet, so why wouldn’t you count it?
Tad Tschetter perhaps the standards are higher where I’m from.. I’d give him a redo, just like Joslin himself didn’t accept it and went to try it again.
Dielit. Chris I see a major difference between landing, rolling away, and then choosing to jump off your board before hitting a wall or some grass compared to landing in an uncontrolled power slide with your arms flailing above your head and being thrown off your board because you’re not in control
Bachinsky's kickflip is #1 for me. If you were old enough to see it happen at the time, you know it was one of those moments that changed street skating overnight. Koston's part in "Yeah Right," and PJ Ladd's part in "Wonderful, Horrible Life" are examples of full video parts that had a similar effect on street skating... But Bachinsky's kickflip down El Toro was a SINGLE trick. That single trick made people step up their game and start chucking themselves down huge sets and gaps
Kircharts was one of the first to do it so I had to put him in there but youre right i fucked up. I should have put carlos ruis back lip in there for sure!
all these tricks are insane. but. the tricks that went down on the middle rail (before they took it out) was so much gnarlier. no safety grass or dirt to bail on....
To the best tricks to ever go down warrants even in this video. Andrew Reynolds, front side, flip over the rail and the van driving down all the stairs.
Chris Joslin's tre flip should be on the list, he landed and rolled away but the truck came out or something, i think everyone would agree that it was a land, and a tre flip over el toro afterall
Ryan Dannettelle should be on here for his legendary backside 180 that people forget around fifteen years ago. He is the only person who has rolled away fakie from doing a trick down the stairs.
Yoooo your right This list has definitely missed a few crazy ones like that. I’m going to be making a video of all of the ABDS at El Toro and I’ll make sure I don’t miss any
This is my personal list of top 10 tricks landed down El Toro 1. Nollie Bs Nose Blunt - Clive Dixson 2. Nollie - Ryan Decenzo 3. Bs 180 - Ryan Dannettelle 4. Kickflip - Dave Bachinsky 5. Bs Tailslide - Adrien Bulard 6. Bs Lipslide - Unknown 7. Fs Blunt - Vincent Milou 8. Fs Nosegrind - Shane Cross 9. Switch Fs 180 - TJ Rogers 10. Fs 50-50 180 out - Kanaan Dern
How some of those guys still have functioning knee joints is beyond me … i mean, i know it’s great technique and physique but still, that drop is 2 people high. Insane. Mad respect.
I’m thinking the skaters who grew up drinking a healthy dose of real cow’s milk are the ones with the knee joint advantage. I feel for kids these days growing up on soy “milk”, rice “milk”, almond “milk” oat “milk” and all the other fake milks that deprive them of the nutrient rich animal milks, ideally raw milk.
I know that one is OG i had to leave a couple of the oGs out since skateboarding has gotten so gnarly but we will be making a video of Already Been Done Tricks soon. Stay tuned...
The balls it takes to even give backside tailsliding El Torro a try is insane, but then to actually pull it off!!! I can't think of a scarier trick to try down that fucking thing. Going that fast on such a big rail backside is just crazy. Especially tailslide because so many things can go wrong.
Kieth hirchart was one of the first people to hit the spot / also the first lipslide ever done there plus it’s effortless and classic / sometimes it’s not the difficulty of the trick but the way you do it and the importance of that trick for the culture
I get it, I'm old at 40, but was low-key hoping to see the Arto Saari front board on here. At the time that was some next level shit and you see his legs shift/buckle a little to rebalance that tells you how long that shit was. That back tail is a completely different level. Throwing yourself down that many stairs backside gets all the props in the world.
Arto definitely set the bar and was a pioneer but with all of the legendary tricks that have gone down since then that I couldn't disregard. Arto will always be a legend for that though
That fact that there is enough tricks at this spot for a top 10 list is crazy in its own right.
That’s why we had to put the list together. Already been done video coming soon. I believe there has been 25-30 tricks done down the set
@@LimitlessCulture Mind blowing.
Like for real
Wheres chris joslins tre flip? Thats number 1 in my book
thats how awesome skaters are...
Ngl the gaps are more impressive to me than the grinds
same
You have to know what it's like to grind a handrail to know how truly gnarly it is
@@heneedsummelk117 Falling on a rail and hitting the flat bottom isn't fun either. All you have to do with drops and gaps is commit, to skate a 20 stair rail takes lots of skill.
Depends. Lipslides aren't as impressive unless switch but any kind of blunt down El Toro is insane in my book.
thats cuz you dont skate big stuff, its WAAAAY scarier to grind big shit than jump off huge gaps
The fact that Dave Bachinsky kickflipped this and shreds tech and transition skating just shows how criminally underrated he is. Just insane.
On a 7.5 board
@@punghyun0827 came here to say that exact thing! He was skating a toothpick lol
I don't even know the guy. That kickflip was for me the best trick done in this video. I'll have to look him up.

@@DarwinBoys1 this guy gets it.
Literally exact same story for me too lmao. 10th grade. He instantly became a household name amongst skaters.
Back tail is probably the gnarliest thing on this. FS blunt to forward is pretty crazy as well
I agree the grinds are gnarly , but for me Bachinsky's kickflip will always be my personal favorite. The man literally gaps like 5 feet past the stairs . He was going so fast , just a monumental piece of skate history . But all tricks accomplished here are legendary

Nyjah's switch front lip is not #2 ... It isn't more gnarly than Foys front crook at #7 ... Weak.
foy imo was top 3 easily- just as messy bail as the bs tail and fs blunt
You need to edit this an add joslins tre flip
How could he forget
joslin himself say that he didn't make it, his trucks blew out... sad but true
you think he landed it? Do you skate?
I was going to say they should add ben gilleys 5-0 the way he holds it and pushes through it is just epic

didn’t know u skated. thanks for teaching me some uke

@@Nottooseriouss he got 5000 points an unlocked a skater

The grinds are nothing to the impact of even getting over the stairs without the aid of the rail to brace the fall.
Mr Mediocre someone that doesn’t skate rails lmao
@Mr Mediocre Said it perfectly
if you get wheel bite on that rail aint nothing bracing you but the paramedics
What’s the song 1:40 ?
Sick compilation. I would have thrown in Arto's front board too
next time
The back tail no doubt. Bc no one is even mentioning that he ate a gnarly slam, picked up his glasses, wiped the blood off his face and stomped it. GoAT
truth be told
back tail and kickflip are the scariest to be done on EL Toro
front crook was the most impressive one to me. so gnarly
Jamie a beast without a doubt
When I try to imagine actually trying any of these Bulard's back tail scares me the most, followed closely by the Foy's front crook.
agreed.
The back tail gives me nightmares. I want to know how many tries it took him. Ima get an interview with in the future and see. I'll get back to you on that

How did Shane Cross not make the list?
I came to say this.. 1st try nose grind.. 🤷♂️
Down the middle rail too
Way gnarlier
Amen
That's what I'm saying. Came to look for this comment before posting it.
The disrespect of not even mentioning that guy wtf
the grinds are so scary. imagine falling ON the stairs in a bad position at that height and speed. terrifying
The Back Tail win in my book cause it's on the stair side (not a softer dirt hill to bail on) and you're traveling backwards.
So insane!!! The balls it takes to even try that is beyond me
That front crook still one of the gnarliest trick done on that spot for me. The control for Jaime didnt slipped or worst, got stuck mid way was unbelievable. Also the set of balls he got is pretty impressive too 😅
I agree the front crook should have been number 1 the rails steep and to front crook it you're nose diving but I believe Ben gilleys 5-0 first try should have been on here
Please have El Toro in Skate 4!!!
Watching them land those gaps hurts my knees so much!!!!
How is a lip slide higher up than the front crook? Front crook is infinitely harder and more dangerous
Arto Saari - front board, #1 for me
decenzo nollied it and clive dixon nollie nose blunt are not in here?
The switch Ollie is one of the gnarliest to me, I feel like switch 180 would be the easiest next to ollie
I personally think that Derek Tracy‘s early grab down this was also pretty gnarly, just sending it full speed and hanging on for his life with that landing
Honorable mention would be Chris Joslins tre flip
Its a make , his truck snapped if jaws was a make joslins should be too imo
Yep ! Definitely. Deserves it
@@JackedBiker that’s why I said honorable mention
there is so much airtime on that hill
I see what you did there
it’s a different thing to do basic slides or grinds a rail down than a flip hole stairs.
Front lip ahead of front crook?
@ 2:00 wasn’t that a backside blunt not frontside?
where is chris haffey's fakie 720?
My left ear really enjoyed that into
