The Historic Battle For Kickflip At El Toro | Dave Bachinsky

[@WiiSpords]

Absolute class act Dave is. “I’m just happy to be a part of skateboarding.” Fuck yes dude. 18 years really puts it in perspective. Stomped the fuck out of it too.

[@storied_skateboarding]

💪🙌

[@tedcarr]

i don't think he could have NOT stomped that 😂

[@trebeezy16]

Want more perspective, those high-schoolers watching the interview weren't even born when the kick flip went down

[@JackPinkhunter]

Shecks has the same quote 🤙

[@recession81]

Not only is it one of the biggest kickflips ever done but also one of the most stylish kickflips ever done. What a feeling it must be to have this in your history belt.

[@storied_skateboarding]

It’s nuts

[@NuxBlackThumb]

Perfectly said man that's exactly why it was always my favourite kickflip...the VX look and feel mixed with the sound of the rollup and the big shoes...just the way Dave rolls on the board his foot positioning just before he snaps it...that split second of silent hangtime and then that massive STOMP....For me no modern kickflip can ever match that kind of raw heaviness...just so fkn gnarly

[@naysebtc]

Yup- Clears it by at least a couple feet and lands perfectly. Steezy

[@sleepn_on_me2473]

First thing i said STEEZY!!

[@lekolega]

yeah back then this trick was just unimaginable. i remember being blown away and i was barely old enough to comprehend this. i love the fact that he said: "i was just skating." that just makes it a touch more magical.

[@storied_skateboarding]

Insane

[@mattstevenson1334]

This day was huge when it came out. Was too gnarly to believe

[@lebrunjemz687]

still the only fliptrick that has been done at el toro unless you count joslins tre flip

I keep a board and skate shoes in my trunk just in case. I end up skating maybe 10 times a year. I'm 36. Get back at it, just stick to more chill tricks.

[@gregdoh]

@@magicofmacys a 5 set is probably the most I'd mess with these days. But, I've never done anything bigger than a 7 set. Is a 5 too hard on your knees now or something else?

[@vissenkop17]

same here man, i will always look back at the times when me and my friends where just skateboarding every singel day as one of the best times in my life!

[@kamikazeExpert]

He's such a gnarly gap skater while also being one of the best miniramp and ledge skaters ever, he can truly skate anything! I also love the woodworking stuff he's doing. Definitely one of my fav skaters out there!

[@storied_skateboarding]

Couldn't agree more!

[@ryanschindler923]

Crazy no one's landed another flip trick in almost 2 decades since then. But really, 20 stairs is pushing the limit of what a person can do, flip trick wise. You can only go so fast and jump so high and take so much impact.

[@storied_skateboarding]

Forever Legendary!

[@chasebob8327]

Well, jaws did kick flip melon. I'd say that counts

[@donjohnson3888]

I was just thinking about that too. Nearly 20 years on and this is still on the Mount Rushmore of flip tricks. Still one of the biggest and best kickflips ever done.

[@Lbundy]

I’m 34 and this makes me feel so old 😅 such a monumental trick for skateboarding.

[@matejjanosik6613]

What about jaws tho?

Dave's a legend and always will be for this kickflip

[@storied_skateboarding]

Yup

[@richiezaa]

Dude. Bachinsky is a G for landing this so many years ago. Seeing him huck down this set over and over again, building up the momentum to just do it. So sick

[@storied_skateboarding]

So good

[@SagaTF2]

The sound of that rollup is so memorable. Dave, blue jeans, big shoes, and VX filming made us all question our sanity when seeing this clip for the first time. I love how Dave's arm freezes mid air as he's rolling away- not only did he roll away alive but he stomped the fuck out of it too.

[@storied_skateboarding]

So epic

[@NuxBlackThumb]

The sound, the jeans and the shoes was always one of my favourite things about the clip also....just captures perfectly what the whole scene felt like being a kid skating at that time...the whole thing is just beyond epic

“Oakley Our Life” best and also most underrated video

[@TheCommentSection2004]

I'm here because every few years I like to go back and watch these clips. I was a gap skater back when this happened and I always wanted a piece of this. Congratulations Dave and another little nostalgic thing about this clip is the end where you can hear them all losing their minds in slow motion. I love it. Love skating.

[@storied_skateboarding]

Sick

[@greens294]

The fact that no one has landed a flip trick (without a grab) since is a testament to how insane that kickflip actually is. Its criminal how badly Joslin was robbed of that tre flip. And not just his truck breaking, but also that it underwent renovation not long after, therefore robbing him of another chance to get it

I felt so happy watching this. I didn’t realize he’s the only flip trick off of it. Bachinsky should be a house hold name

[@erikmeissner6492]

Feels so good to have gone to HS here and then to see all these tricks that were done in subsequent years. When I was there (99-02), there was only the Birdhouse video.

[@storied_skateboarding]

That’s epic

[@artothreeartothree21]

So thankful you guys created this channel. We finally get a behind the scenes of every great trick and really get an in depth look at what the rider was thinking and what it took. I remember watching skate videos and being blown away and I was like man if I can just interview them about that to get an understanding lol

Has to be at or near the top of the list as far as most epic skateboard tricks ever thrown down !!! 18 years later and still iconic as ever.

🙌🙌🙌

[@Jokerasmaw]

who would have thought the guy that kickflipped el toro would also turn out to be a mini ramp champion. Dave Bachinsky has so much talent on a mini ramp it is insane, probably the best mini ramp skater out there alongside Cody Mcentire

[@storied_skateboarding]

Ha true!

[@173jaSon371]

Dave was always one of my favorites because he could huck insane shit like this AND do insane quarterpipe tricks. I grew up in the middle of nowhere with a terrible skatepark, so I mostly did quarterpipe tricks. I remember finding Bachinkys hubba wheels video and being absolutely mind-blown. That little video still holds up well today even

Remember playing his part over and over again in OUR LIFE 💯

[@bluecandyart8596]

This was so sick, but what I really like about Bachinsky are his mini ramp skills, that´s so impressive, especially for someome who did the first flip down El Toro, you wouldn't expect so much technicality, but he has it.

[@storied_skateboarding]

🙌

[@Alexketchem]

This to this day is so fucking gnarly. The bail where he kicks out, lands flat footed, and still gets like 5-6 more is psychotic. His ankles could have snapped on every single one. Dave is a legend.

Thank you! Will do!

[@BEERFEST07]

I remember my friend telling me about this guy from the east coast who supposedly kickflipped el toro. Back then rumors spread about tricks, but you didn't know if anything was true or not until you saw the footage because you had to wait a while until the skate video came out. At best you would see a photo or sequence in a magazine as a teaser for the clip. So we checked out his most recent video parts and one of his hammers was kickflipping a huge set. Somewhere around the 15 or 16 stair mark like Dave talked about. When we saw that, my friend and I both looked at each other and said "I believe it."

[@storied_skateboarding]

💪💪

[@Dbskatedesigns]

One of the best to ever do it!!!!

[@storied_skateboarding]

Yup

[@domja9389]

That tre flip was so good

[@storied_skateboarding]

💪

[@McBandycars]

I've never seen anyone else attempts or tricks other than what I've saw on here.. but the amount of SOLID tries.. meaning he landed where the board should have every time.. but the board didn't make it to him every time. That's solid 100% commitment every time, thinking "I got this" but the board not committing with him. You can usually tell if someone lands like they planned on the board being there or not.. this man was expecting to land it before he had it in the bad. SALUTE MY MAN! History in the making for sure. The Tre Flip by the other man was a land imo.. but I understand for bragging rights how someone wouldn't want a further ride away. NEVER STOP BEING YOURSELVES PEOPLE! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CAPEABLE OF UNTIL YOU DO IT!

[@storied_skateboarding]

🙌🙌

[@seb9093]

What's even crazier is I heard he did it on a 7.5!

[@storied_skateboarding]

[@cashway0420]

The angle from the top is so crazy too, the way the board just floats beautifully with him and sticks to his feet all the way down Everest to an impossibly seeming smooth landing.... so mental to this day... and how casually he announces that he hit his head!!! always made me LOL... It's like each attempt before the make was just 'a bit of a nuisance' to him rather than a potential months out slam like it would be for nearly everyone else!!!
