i ran across parks info on wikipedia, and they have it listed that he landed the 1080 on accident after doing a photoshoot for a 900, he overspun it! thats so badass to be able to say, "oops, i just landed a 10"

yeah that's wrong. proof that Wikipedia has false information, you don't go about landing 1080's on accident

also after looking at the info on Wiki, i seriously doubt he invented the double backroll, but maybe im wrong

Craig-R, I know he did it first. Were can you find the sequence of him doing a 1080.

I remember that issue. It was when 9's were a new thing, there was only a few guys doing them. WBM was doing a article about 9's. The story is they were shooting Parks doing 9's. He was stickin them like they were nothin. He told them he was going to try a 1080. He landed it first try. Thats what the article said in that issue. I remember reading that and thinking how cool it was. I would have never guess it would have been 7 years before someone landed it again. Makes you respect Parks riding even more. His gear was no were near what ppl are riding now, he just flat out rips!!!

Ralph, i think Mitchell is just stressing the fact that its not likely you land tricks on accident..

Peole can add what ever they want on wikipedia. That is why I never trust it.

There's no way you accidentally land a fs 10 trying a 9, because the last 180 is BS and requires a handle pass or landing wrapped, like pb's.
