Kilian Martin [Prior to Regeneration/Escalation]

Kilian just posted this up for all to see. It's slightly older footage of him so I figured people might enjoy his rawer freestyle work.

I've never seen it before his videosI'm fairly sure he didn't, but I'd have to start digging through old videos. The handstand flips (Sooooooo many variations) to casper have been around a bit. That sorta half-primo/rail of his might be specific to him though. I'll look around a little and see what I can come up with. I do know that the basic part of his handstand (half-primo) flip was being used in the 80's by street skaters, but they were not doing it to Casper. Mike Vallely was one of the first I remember seeing do it. Entirely possible that Mullen, Welinder, or Harris were doing them to Casper.
