It's time to envision a world without kooks or cool guys, where every professional skateboarder is considered equal. Richie Jackson knows how to make that dream a reality. With an innovative new approach to the hardflip, Jackson hopes to bring together two of skateboarding's most diverse factions. And he also has a handy tip that makes learning switch hardflips a snap.
In this episode, skateboarder Richie Jackson comes clean about where he finds inspiration for his tricks. And it might be summer, but Skateboarding Education Lesson School is back in session featuring a backside wallride. This episode brought to you by Miguel Sanbarno.
Take Richie's challenge and let him know which other skate tricks are inspired by specific Rock stars in the comments below. Tune in for the next episode of The Amazing Richie Jackson Skateboard Show Monday June 17.

Richie Jackson's Skateboarding Education Lesson School with is the premier institute for higher learning in the field of skating. This week, Jackson offers a seminar on the backside wallride. While history has shown us that walls can be used to divide nations, Jackson believes that walls are much better when employed as backdrops for backside wallrides.
The Birdman's board shares space with the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz.
The Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of American History recently welcomed a collection of skateboarding artifacts to its hallowed halls. Included in the group is the first skateboard that Tony Hawk ever rode, a Bahne model that had been passed down to him by his older brother. The board is still in working order and Hawk took a couple runs on it on a ramp built in front of the Smithsonian. Hawk's fellow Bones Brigade member Rodney Mullen also donated one of his boards. All of the artifacts were part of an exhibition called Innoskate that showcased inventions and innovations in skateboarding over the years.
