Jeremy Wray Water Tower Ollie!! | Biggest Ollie

[@billellis9168]

He did this so many years ago, and yet I’m still somehow scared for him

[@Cloudkusanagui]

This trick is timeless, it will always be remembered as the gnarliest ollie ever. To think the world record ollie distance on flat today is not much longer than that is crazy.

[@JayDillDrums]

Agreed. Interesting to kno he diy reconstructed his tail to land it lol

[@charlie_mario6292]

It isn’t longer though.

[@lovelessissimo]

The world record is 16.5 feet. The towers are damn near exactly 16 feet apart. Unless he landed the landing exactly on the edge, there is a good chance the water tower gap is the record. And it is fuckin terrifying to even think about. The most amazing part is how Wray gapped that thing while carting around those massive brass balls.

[@davidf2244]

​@@lovelessissimo that hurts just to fully consider. Wtf.

[@browneyewilly]

Hands down sketchiest trick ever. Proof: Nobody attempted since. Jeremy Wray is a ninja.

[@DouchedByDemocrats]

I think that water tower to water tower boardslide (Clive Dixon? Don't feel like digging down two years into back thrashers... ) was nuttier, that said they made immediate reference to this Jeremy wray trick in the caption... However, inna final analysis, this was hella long ago, bottom line that both badass they both batshit crazy

[@TVindustries5000]

@@DouchedByDemocrats difference is that clive dixon boardslide existed in a world after Wray's ollie. would that boardslide have happened without that ollie showing the heights things could be taken? debatable.

[@nunyabusiness896]

I used this clip to learn to ollie, lol. This was on a 411 ad on the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and I just played it over and over until I understood how an ollie worked.

[@alexoi87]

NunyaBusiness exactly the same here! Yeah!

[@dogbog99]

The gnarly stone riddled surface, the chipped board.. having to get his board thrown up to him while he leans off the edge. Everything about this is so insane and he still went for it and landed it. A legend was made. This clip will forever be in the skate book of history.

[@Floatillyboats]

This man is a legend!

[@everdimension]

My heart rate goes up just by listening to his story. Looks like every sketchy thing that could happen happened - except for actually tripping over a rock. The tail of the board getting chipped before the last try and him having to press it back in a "drop in" position sounds like a nightmare.

I'm kinda glad he never attempted the kickflip cause that precision of the kick could be fatal to get right

[@JD_tcb]

Not really. That's not how physics works. You just have to haul ass and time the jump. What the board does is irrelevant to clearing the gap. You could even leave it behind entirely as long as YOU go.

Knowing a decent amount about this before, I was pretty certain nothing had or ever will top this. Now that I hear the details of this video, I'm certain.

Without equal.
