Trick most ahead of it's time?

Wallisch's segment in Eye Trip. Front swap back 3 swap on a quad kink, right 4on blind 2 on the trap rail, 4on pretz 2 on the double kink... Those would still be bangers in 2014, and not many people besides Wallisch could do those to this day.

Alec Nelson's hand drag blind 4

brady perron did that 6+ years ago

tanner halls disaster 4 back 2 was one of the craziest tricks done to that point
 
Corey Vanular has a bunch of those tricks...just think of the bio 810 from "Long Story Short" back in 2006!![video]http://vimeo.com/22465357[/video]

Not a bio 810, but Candide did a cork 810 to rail back in 2005

Actually it is a Bio 810 at 1:05 (in before "ah nah its a rodeo", nobody cares)...and Candide, he's ahead of everything he does haha

Ah sorry man, misunderstood your post, foreigner here ;-)

Sorry, my wording could have been clearer. Ha ha. I should have said Cory's was a bio 810, but Candide did a cork 810 a year earlier.

In modern skiing days, I'd say Sammy's dub Orbital pushes the envelope for sure.

how would you define orbital? I kinda understand it but its really weird my friend actually told me about it. I agree that is the newest trick today. I dont understand how to do it.
 
Bobby's switch triple misty's are unreal, switch mistys are the most difficult flip in my opinion. Also Alex Schlopy's 1980, he is way ahead in terms of spinning. Not really sure if it is ahead of its time, but I always respect the switch dub flat; such a sweet trick

I mean couldn't you call that a dub flat? It more or less is a dub flat 10/12

Harlaut's nose butter triple cork 16. When i saw him stick the landing, I almost shat myself.

so much this. there are still only a handful of people who can do butter dubs and then another slightly bigger handful of people who can do trips, and to do a butter triple? theres a reason nobody else has even tried it, henrik is on a totally different level
 
Karl's cork 7 ceiling tap.

Candide dspin 7 on chads

Wilson's OG dubs

Even Sigstads 1 footers from like 5 years ago are still the best
 
I gotta say sammys triple rodeo 12 back in 2010. It was the first triple, and was years before triples were brought to competitions.
 
Pete O Whiskey Flip in the Pipe at 2007(?) Xgames

Jon Olsson Kang Flip

Charles Gagnier one foot grind at 2005 Xgames slope. Beat out THall, who did a lip slide. After that was the first time I remember THall being extra controversial in the media, bashing Gagnier for doing "rollerblade" tricks.

All those tricks really stand out to me, but I was also in HS or a college freshman at that time, so it was when I was most influenced probably.
 
I think that a lot of wizard or gypsy tricks are overlooked at the time they are first introduced. For instance when people started doing back slides 7 years ago people made comments like that looks like a dog pissing, and now Phil Casabon has started doing them and its accepted into main stream freestyle skiing. Khai Krepela just did logged a shot in Les doing a backslide as well.
 
Not really a trick, but a whole new way to look at pow. Pollard back in 2002 (I think).

So crazy, this one for sure is mine too.
 
Frej's double cork 7. The majority of people thought it couldn't even be done, and then boom, here comes this guy out of nowhere throwing what I still believe to be the best dub 7 ever.[video]http://vimeo.com/40189116[/video]

Yep.

Candide's giant cork 9 to rail. Not sure the year, I am guessing 2006-2007ish? I remember so much hype before the video came out
