Puzzle Video (2005)
The original edit from Chris Oliver’s Puzzle section, which for a long time was only available in re-edited form due to copyright problems. This is definitely the superior edit, also offering a pleasing synchronicity with the his ‘Never Been Loved’ section due to the Hilltop Hoods’ track and its use of Melanie Kafka’s ‘People in the Back Row’. Music nerdery, aside kickflip wallrides, tech ledge combos and one of the best backside flips in the game are all in evidence. The two pushes to kinked rail 50-50 ender is bonkers…
Probably worth pointing out that the other huge curved rail that Chris Oliver 5050’s in this part (which also appeared on the cover of issue 87 – see below) is located in a tiny Italian fishing village on the Amalfi coast and has definitely never been skated before or since. Muska shit right there!
