ehh I'm not 100% sure but I always thought I did the first front bri, I did put out the first video of one and I had never heard of anyone trying them before I did.. just saying

and I think this thread is a good idea as long as the mods get in here and check over/edit/add to it.

and to dom, THIS SR probably started then, but there were more before it, Andrew shut one down then one crashed or something I'm not sure. The first one was pretty cool though, it was like a list of riders with their bios, anyone could add to it.
 
Here a little bit more info for you
Capron funk was the first to land a 6whip in 09
Cody speake was the first to land a back scooterflip in 02(not sure on the year)
Addison mcnaughton was the first to jump/trick down wallenberg
John Radtke was the first to land a 360backflip
Tyler Bonner first to land the 1080
Thats all i can think of on the top of my head..good luck with the thread.
