Check out the footage. Dreamland President and alpha skatepark designer Mark Scott becomes the first skateboarder in history to successfully perform a "flowing loop," at the Reedsport Skatepark, in Reedsport, Oregon. You'll need Quicktime to watch the video....

I don't have quicktime, can someone please explain what the hell a 'flowing loop' is?

Crim, the guy's riding a bowl with a full-pipe in it and basically loops it.

They are good, but I think they need to be compiled in perhaps one post per week instead of 4 posts a day, especially in a relativly slow moving forum like this one.

i dont know about 1 post a week... even 3 posts a week would be better than like 4 every day...

Yeah, that sounds about right, either way they need to be condensed.

It is definitely a welcome addition though.

I'm pretty sure this isnt the first flowing loop to be done. There was a Transworld cover a while back of some guy mid loop in some tunnel which I believe is in Cali. They said the footage is suppose to be in a video released at the time but cant recall the name.

There are rumors of Duane Peters doing one a long time ago but there doesn't seem to be any valid truth out there about him legitimately making it.

Burnquist tried the loop at Baldy Pipe (What DudeManWes is talking about), and he broke his foot. I think it's in the Firm video.

The loop seen above is crazy as hell but he did enter it from the side with speed generated from the rest of the park.

Burnquist recently looped his full pipe that sits in his backyard with just pumping back and forth Shocked

Either way they are all rediculously crazy and they all deserve tremendous praise. Skating is a gnarly sport and anyone that skates can agree that looping anything, no matter how you do it, is just insane.
