Like the cellar door and the Jersey barrier, the miniature picnic tables native to Southern California practically encompass their own subgenre at this point. Across the past say, twenty-five years, you can pick and choose your peaks and choice practitioners — from the ’90s era take Sean Sheffey’s fakie ollie, Kareem Campbell’s 360 flip 5-0, Gino Iannucci’s last trick in “Trilogy,” Keenan Milton’s switch flip, Daewon Song from 1994 to 2000. New millennium you could put in there Justin Case’s switch backside noseblunt, flaring in his DC uniform for a Ghetto Child ad before burning out, later on Alex Olson’s sideways jump and maybe Torey Pudwill’s hardflip. Lucky contestant this decade is Norcaler Matt Miller with a heavier-than-most nollie 180 into a switch backside noseblunt revert. This would be one for the Police Informers or Chrome Balls to adjudicate, but I’m not even sure I’ve seen the more-common half-cab version on one of these lunch spots.

I think Matt Hensley’s full cab over a miniature picnic table is more prominent than Sheffey’s fakie ollie. (Both were from 1991.)

Toan Nguyen, anybody? Brian Hoard (Deca made a pretty substantial impression on me back in the day)? Hoard threw sw fs heelflips like it was nothing.
But, yeah, Miller Time…..!

Herman’s brief foray was noteworthy.

Can I be the first to point out that Mike Carroll did this trick in the Plan B Virtual Reality video? Albeit on a curb, but still, frontside nollie 270 to switch back noseblunt isn’t an everyday trick.
I would say Keenan’s switch flip, if we’re talking going over. Anyone would be psyched to do a kickflip like that over a manhole cover in their normal stance, let alone switch over those tables.
For tricks done on the tables, it has to be Daewon. Any flip trick to any grind, slide or manual, he’s done it.

Link exchange is nothing else but it is only placing the other person’s website link on your page at proper place and other person will also do similar for you.

No matter if some one searches for his essential thing,
so he/she wants to be available that in detail, therefore that thing is maintained over here.
