For the sheer amount of top shelf skateboarding, 1996 probably does win. At the same time, it feels tiring to keep talking about all the same greatest hits repeatedly. It's also remarkable what 30 years can do to somebody's legacy, either for the positive and/or negative.

I think Mike did that wall ollie in about 12 tries. Whoever filmed it posted the raw tape and he put it down quick.

I believe Josh Kalis had an Adidas ad. Paulo was on the team. He might have been the first rider. Nobody really seemed to be supporting the big shoe companies so that's why they had to rebrand. Honestly, we were better off without them.

Marc's got a part in a Maple promo from 1995 where he skates to The Pixies.

I'm going to go watch Ben Sanchez's part in Mouse because that sounds like something to be stoked on.
