Jon Schneider is also a possibility.

I too would say Jon Schnider. He's one of the most amazing players for the weird shit he can hit.

Best I can claim is in my new BCS vid. Flapper>SS Butter, Flapper>Opp butter, Flapper>Pdx mirage.
Comment in the BCS blog if you feel the need to.

definitely John! Especially with his dragon-style. Nobody else does this dragons. So there are many moves which are unique, I'd say.

Doubt it.
Remember, the question asked was:
Who has hit the most tricks that nobody else has hit yet ?
Lots of people have hit some of my tricks. My tricks are weird, but not that hard. My goal has not been to do tricks that nobody else CAN do, just to use freestyle elements that nobody else bothers to. I've seen plenty of people hit the occasional dragon move, and I've seen several people hit a dragon move that I have never done (Somolinos hit Legbeater Dragon years before I ever did. I was just hung up on doing legbeaters with very leggy style, and that made the trick hard. When I finally got around to learning it hippy, well, legbeater ain't that hard no more, nor is legbeater dragon). I think lots of people have tried and hit a few dragon moves (maybe out of curiousity to see if they could) and then just gone back to doing the moves that they like to do. I'm not about doing stuff that nobody has ever done before or nobody else can do, just about getting good enough to develope a style of playing based on some simple stuff that most haven't had the desire or the patience to become consistent and/or smooth enough with to make it the basis of their style. Unfortunately I've really come to understand why other people don't bother trying to get good at some of this stuff. Its so damn frustrating. I'm not getting good at this stuff nearly as fast as I hoped I would.

Yeah, the question isn't about tricks nobody else can do, it's about tricks nobody else has done.

You can change nobody, to nobody that I'm aware of, and it's still basically the same thing.
