What Is The Most Famous Boardslide Ever Done?!
What Is The Most Famous Boardslide Ever Done?!Signed Steve Caballero Boards at storied skateboarding .com !!! The top graphic designed by Steve Caballero himself! In “What Is The Most Famous Boardslide Ever Done?!” we asked a group of notable and respectable professional skateboarders who they thought that had the most famous boardslide in skateboarding history. Not the biggest boardslide, not the longest boardslide, nor the fastest, slowest, highest or lowest, the “most famous”.

The two were quick to acknowledge Natas Kaupus as the original Most Famous Boardslide because it paved the way for the first ever handrail skating. For both skaters, it really didn’t even come down to one specific boardslide but a body of work. Frankie had several iconic boardslides from Powell’s “Ban This” and Propaganda”.
