oh god i know this

its on an interview on a props video i have

the guy being interviewed (i forget his name too!) was on about people calling it a "joe rich" style turndown, and he said who invented it.

the trick was originally called something else, that had the guys name in the title, a play on words. stupid old brain - work damn you

i am i thinking of a lookdown

theRuler · « **Reply #3 on:** September 13, 2005, 08:49 PM »

no i was thinking an "invert", called a "timvert" (by tim someone the inventor)

so we are no closer to the answer and i have a shameful 3 posts in a row.

LOL

The trick i was thinking of was called a Turndown orginally but have heard it called a lookdown as well.

Not heard of a Timvert though :-)

Who invented the Cherry Picker? - and why didn't they just call it the nut crusher!

theRuler · « **Reply #13 on:** September 14, 2005, 03:16 PM »

i think the cherry picker was invented by woody itson

fraz167 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 14, 2005, 05:13 PM »

I think you could be right about the Cherrypicker...or was it Martin Aparijo???

I will give you a clue on the Turndown....the guys first name was Mark

greentoad · « **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:08 PM »

Cherry Picker -

The cherrypicker is one of Martin Aparijo 's inventions.
Derek Oriee, www.vintagebmx.com, february 2005 : Urban legend states that Martin Aparijo invented the cherry picker on a skateboard first before converting it to a bmx freestyle trick.

Turndown = Look Down

Dave Voelker 1984 - Dave Voelker, Ride US february 2001 : I was riding a quarterpipe trying to invent an air where I would go straight up in the air, hesitate until I was coming down backwards, and then turn around and go back into the ramp. When I was coming back down I would twist my body to where it came into a lookdown position.

theRuler · « **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:44 PM »

dave voelker rules

fraz167 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2005, 08:17 PM »

I agree that Voelker rules, but i don't think he invented the turndown....i think it was a guy called Mark McGlynn that road for Haro (i think)

However when it comes to owning that trick....i think that honour goes to Carlo....clicked or what???
