I don't know if you own it, but you should get issue 2 of volume wakeskate videos. I want to say that nick's 360 flip that's in his cameo section is the first one he landed, or at the very least, the first one on film. I've not kept up on my trivia Wink

, but it's a pretty special piece of footage none the less.

but yeah, what jboss said! I bet if you tried to do a search on here, you could find some more info because I'm pretty sure erich started a thread about it when the time was right.

Kay-Kay, I thought so too.

Maybe the one from Volume 2 was the first one caught on film but I'm pretty sure Such is Life was the first Video to have threeflips in it.

I'm pretty sure the first person we released that footage too was Ron at Sideways(such as life). but I think everybody wanted that footage. NT is a old soul and a product of his own invention. I feel blessed to have him as a friend and team mate. I look forward to his future as a human...

Yes, I forgot all about such is life, so you guys are right in that it's the first video to show nick's 360 flip. But looking back on that thread that erich started, I think the first one they got on film was the one that made it into issue 2 (and the same or similar sequence made it into the 2005 photo annual for WBM), because he first landed it at scott's place (according to the people who were there).
