Hey, bro, how's it going? This is Mike Hayes, the skateboarder you mentioned. I was doing lasers on flatground (which no one in your segment did) in august 91, shortly after I got put down with Alien Workshop. The trick is named the Laser flip because it is supposed to flip fast. I'll try my best to find footage of 91 and post it for you. In the mean time, you can find my 1993 411 video magazine wheels of fortune part, where my first trick is a laserflip to maunel on a standard low manuel pad. thanks

@@sebastianplaum4667 No reason for it to be 'strange' even . Someone invents a trick, they look it up years later on YT and find this vid. Not rocket science. Just think- those Don T posts on random parts of the internet MIGHT (in some v.rare instances) actually be he! Laughing behind his cup of Covfefe! I wondered if it was a reference to Lazer trucks which came out in the late 70's. Magnesium - with great geometry for freestyle and street from my memory of them at that even earlier time.

Dude this channel is sick. Im about to buy a powell flight and start skating again.

Torry pudwill has a great laser flip

I think laser flips are so cool looking. Thanks for making this video.

I'm 38 with 3 kids and a wife. I miss skating so bad. watching KZread for weeks now and seeing how sick the stuff kids do these days blows my mind. I wish I could go skate but I can't afford to get a broken arm or leg

Torey Pudwill has mean laser flips.

Wow,you do good research! When I saw the title,I did say to myself."If Mike Hayes isn't in this..." Good stuff Bro.

Beat me to it! I was right about to ask that! I guess you saw the video that talked about it. I always thought it had something to do with the fact that it was a "knockoff ollie/nollie" and a lot of knockoffs and bootlegs come from China. Supposedly, it's an old trick, I think I've seen it in a video around that Natas was in, although I can't be sure. Maybe RadRat can give us some insight.

You may be thinking of Eric Dressen in "A Reason for Living"

Well, based on that Timecode video of Mike Hayes, it really wasn't the first one that set the tone, it was the one after heelflipping up the stairs then the multiple lasers with him doing the Laser Flip that (IMHO) stapled the actual term.

Torey Pudwill laser flipped a triple set in the Hallelujah transworld video for his ender and I've been stoked on them ever since.

Damn I love your channel and videos :)

Never saw your videos before, but you got a sub outta me from this one. Super cool, dude.

Rip Pat Brennan. Skated with him in 90 in pasadena

Hey, not sure if you check comments for older videos, but where did you get the clip of Ofer Moses at 1:33?

Bo Turner did one in Alien Workshop Memory Screen which was released in 1991. That was the first one I ever saw and I remember seeing Pat Brennan's part too. They both are from 1991, but exact dates are harder to come by. Maybe you can confirm?

I was under the assumption that laser flips were new, but boy was I wrong again :D

You should make a video about heel dragging on nose slides, especially down hubbas, doesn't seem like its talked about much.

Forgot about Pat Brennan, really good

I seen Harold hunter do it in 92 but I know someone did it before

Andrew Reynolds is known for his frontside flips, but he's got a mean laser he tosses out several times in one of the Baker vids. Pudwill too.

i think they look cool but considering how hard they are, they're not worth the grind. i've seen only one IRL and i immediately felt inspired to learn them, but after many months of trying, i had to give up because i started to lose more and more tricks lol.

No mention of Markovich?

So, I know tins of skate tricks, but one question, what's the difference between a Bigspin Heel/Kickflip and a 360/Laser flip? Is it just a Tre/Laser with a 180 added, it would make sense as a Bigspin is a 3suv 180.

I did a laser flip in ‘90, but it was in my driveway, it wasn’t on film, and only my mom saw it. So the answer is ME.

Mike Hayes. Alien Workshop Dayton, O

I thought Harold Hunter did it first.

I personally think calling it laser flip is heracy when you do a kickflip with a 180 you call it a FS/bs flip when u do it with a heelflip it's a FS/Bs heel same with varials so why on earth would a FS 360 heelflip be called laser flip I just call them 360 heels

Relly nice video once again. I think right now Dashwan Jordan has by far the best laser flips.

jimmy "my boy" carlin + t. puds

Deshawn jordan has the best laser flips

you seem pretty intelligent which is why i subscribed to you right away, that being said i was wondering if you could clear some things up for the groms out there. these other skater vloggers on YT are completely incapable of problem solving or providing proper education for kids and the inexperienced. for instance: john hill has no idea why a chinese nollie is called that lance from braille has no idea why trucks have bushings and sam tabor CANNOT grip his board with out a razor, he has no idea you can just score the grip a little more, perforating the edge and making it easy to peel the excess off sorry to rant but like i said, you're actually informative, and it could help out a lot of people.
