    Nope, the first guy to flip it was an Irish guy called Jack O'Riordan. A skater from Roscommon. He came to dublin a lot to skate and said it was second only to his favourite Roscommon spot, St. Nathy's CBS. I saw him do tons of amazing stuff at Baggot before they wrecked it.

    please tell me your not talking about the 25-30 step gap beside the handrails?

    I tried that about 6 year ago, clipped the last step and slid out on my belly for 10 foot (i had some speed)... i was black and blue from that one...

    Dont know if you know a skateboarder who used to wear loads of wu-tang cloths... funny enough, his nick is wu-tang amongst us(rollerbladers) anyways.. but i think hes called that by everyone else aswell... (late 20's)

    He nearly got his head smashed in by 5 of us, he broke into tears laughing. That gap IMO, was crazy, but that was back in the day, gap scales change!

    I doubt it, I saw this back in '92 when most Irish skaters couldn't even ollie off a path. I have the flicks somewhere too.

    Couldn't take him on your own? I probably would have laughed too. You were kind of an annoying, arrogant, douch bag.

    i saw someone say no decent irish skaters !!!!!!
    sick o that feces. i saw some amerikan ass say it on the extreme channel wee whuile back if there was level pavements and places where people could accept that people who do sports need to do it some where otherwise we'll be "vandals" destroying public area's. Hell would it be better if we're off the streets hiding down some back lane shooting heroin!
