This post describes the most dangerous skateboarding tricks performed by extremely brave skateboarders. Some of them even risked their lives for a moment of glory, and some of them will be remembered forever.

The most dangerous skateboarding tricks of all time

The danger is a normal routine of skateboarding. If you want to be remembered, sometimes you need to risk. Sometimes you need to try out things that may turn deadly. And if you don't risk, you never become a superstar. The stake is big - a place in history. You may become an idol to the younger generations. And here are the most dangerous skateboarding tricks with the names of people who risked their lives and earned their place in skateboarding history.

1. Ricky Oyola, one of the biggest adrenaline junkies of all time, performed his famous trick ollie into traffic in 1995. Flying through the traffic like water over rocks... quite impressive, right? The trick is very risky, you don't know what is going to happen. One wrong move and you can get hit by a car, end up in a hospital. But Ricky simple didn't care, he definitively earned his place in skateboarding history with one of the most dangerous skateboarding tricks ever. Enjoy the video!
2. Joe Valdez will always be remembered by his famous China Banks Globe ollie. He risked his life by performing the trick 34 feet above the ground. He ollied across the gap and onto another narrow ledge. This dangerous event occurred in San Francisco in 1996.  The wind was blowing in his face. However, this didn't stop him from performing one of the most dangerous skateboarding tricks of all time. Enjoy the video!
3. In 1997, Jeremy Wray made one of the most impressive tricks, a Water Tower ollie. As impressive as it looks, the trick paid a lot of attention and he became very popular. Was this one of most dangerous skateboarding tricks ever? Hell yeah! The gap was huge, the run-up was short. Avoiding the security was an extremely difficult challenge. But that didn't stop Jeremy! He is one of the best skateboarders ever in rooftop skateboarding. Enjoy the video!
4. In the year 2005, Danny Way became a legend by performing a 360 method over the Great Wall of China Gap. This was one of the most dangerous skateboarding tricks ever - the consequences could be lethal. Despite he broke his ankle in the earlier attempts, he never gave up. He was able to land a record-breaking 79-foot-long air. Quite impressive, right? Enjoy the video!
5. Fred Gall risked arrest by performing a wallride on a moving bus. The trick maybe isn't too dangerous, but if the possible consequences are considered... a car could run him over easily if he fell! It was rush an hour, so a bus didn't go faster than 10 miles per hour, which gave Fred an opportunity to perform the trick. He was lucky - he passed without a single scratch! The whole event happened in Bangkok in 2011!
6. Tyler Immel pushed the limits of skateboarding after performing a heelflip into a bank in 2014. Maybe one of the most dangerous skateboarding tricks of all time, but Tyler had no injuries at all! I believe less than 5 skaters in the world would even think to perform this trick. And trying it... only for the bravest ones! In the end, Tyler was able to land a heelflip - one of the most impressive moments in the history of skateboarding, which could cost him life. Heelflip isn't that difficult trick at all, but landing on a bank... A world-class combination of balance, a power of will and technique!
7. The year 2014 pointed out many daredevils in the world of skateboarding. One of them is Jon Rowe, with his famous ride-on 50-50. Ride on grinds doesn't require jumping or gymnastics. But you need a world-class balance. And if you perform this trick on the rail that is over head high, you definitively risk your life. This is what Jon Rowe did. This is definitively one of most dangerous skateboarding tricks. Many skateboarders will try this trick, but how many of them will try it on the rail that is over head high?
8. Aaron "Jaws" Homoki will be remembered by his world-class roof-to-roof roll-in. He is a huge fan of rooftop skateboarding, and he was able to prove it in the year 2014. And he can possibly claim to the biggest gap ollie ever. Since it was around 10 meters under him, a wrong move would mean a serious injury or even death. But Aaron didn't care much about that and he performed one of the most dangerous skateboarding tricks of all time.  He fell so many times, but he is still rolling. He said he is not planning to give up yet. Enjoy the video! The trick was filmed in 2014.
9. Brian Delatorre performed a famous frontside ollie on a rooftop bank. Maybe this isn't looking dangerous, but if you do this on the top of the building, one wrong move will send you to certain death. And Brian performed the trick on the five-story building. Not only his life was endangered. If the skateboard fell down, some of the pedestrians could easily be harmed. In the year 2012, he performed this stunning trick in New York, leaving the crowd breathless. Luckily, he didn't make a mistake. Bryan ollied his way onto the cover of Skateboarder, one of the most known magazines in the world of skateboarding, by performing one of the most dangerous skateboarding tricks of all time!
