Bone Machine.
If I recall correctly there was an article on Nick in the Skateboard Mag from 2006 or so. He was possibly going to ride for Baker, but he was so stoked to skate that he was rattling off everybody else's tricks before they could whenever they got to a spot. This didn't go over very well and that's how Nick would find a home at Foundation. He turned pro for them in 2011 and stayed with the company until 2021. He skates to The Pixies for his part in WTF and this switch flip is in there. Nick does a lot of switch and tech gnar, including a perfect opposite footed backside 360 ollie down those big stairs at Rincon. His feet don't even move or leave the board on the trick. It totally makes sense that he would be the guy to blast a straight switch ollie down El Toro in 2018.
RIP Kevin Wilkins.
