“Ricky” is trying to turn this into his comedy act. He’s the Mike Fork York of BTO.

Does it say “dodging pricks” in that alien ad?

That Maldonado ollie is just monstrous! Anybody who has been to that spot in Philly can attest that without that ad (and footage) it would have been considered inconceivable at the time.
I gotta say I don’t understand that Crocket photo. Where is he ollieing from? Is there some other ledge or ramp off camera? No way he is ollieing off that bench. I think once we see the footage we’ll all be a little less impressed. I’ll even go as far as suggesting that Alien is intentionally misrepresenting this as a flatground ollie.

What’s so hard to understand? No misrepresenting at all, it IS a flatground ollie. Gilbert is ollieing OVER the bench and down the stairs as one long gap. It was clear to me the first time I saw this post.
