The varial flip is seeing somewhat of a renaissance of late – a trick that was previously considered an ugly child’s trick has now become perfectly acceptable to knock out in a line. This is thanks in part to practitioners such as Jordan Trahan, pictured above, and the way skateboarding exists in the present moment as a hybrid mishmash of all eras at once.

We decided to pull together a selection of our favourite V Bomb droppers from over the years to celebrate the acceptance of this once frowned upon trick.
