Double or nothing.
Chet was the undisputed hardflip champion of the late 1990s. His actually flipped, too. They were probably as simple as an ollie to him in those years.
Rodney was really into this contest as he created two ads and doubled the prize for his second trick.
Based on a lack of follow up ads, I don't think either of these tricks were duplicated. Herbert Brown does a fakie hardflip on a bank, but reverts the other way in the new Threads video, if I caught that right.
The videos are by Socrates Leal. I imagine the still photos might be by Chris Ortiz, but there is no credit.

RIP Darkroom
RIP Darkstar, too.
I was surprised about Darkroom. People rode their boards. It felt like maybe they overexpanded and got a bit lucky by having boards in stock during the peak plague years. Also in the Thrasher tour interview, Don didn't seem hugely concerned about running a business.
