In the following clip, Zack Gerber bunnyhop frontflips over a 13 set of stairs and a handrail with what appears to be relative ease! As incredible as this feat may be, I surmise that it's time he may want to consider front flipping The El Toro 20. As we all know those who have tamed this monstrosity have had their names written in the history books. Even those who've fallen victim to it have earned respect just for attempting the impossible i.e.Brandon Begin. So what do y'all have to say about this? Should Gerber front flip the notorious El Toro? Would this better Stevie Churchill's massive Truckdriver over the set? I mean its only 7 more stairs than the set in the clip below and not to mention there's no handrail to worry about; therefore, its within the realm of possibility.

El toro has a slight uphill landing, not sure how well that would work out, personally I'd rather see a sweet turndown or tbog off it.

He said the front flip was a one time thing. And there are other giant sets besides el toro, people talk about it like it's the only 20 stair in the world.

Stevie's truck was impressive to say the least. A front flip should be left in the park where it belongs.

Randy taylor whipped a 20 stair years ago along with some dude doing a rail hop 3 in the same session.

This is one of the biggest threes I have ever seen from Alex liiv.

There is a place bigger than el toro that lands in the street by this one church in wheeling.

Idk why people think El Toro is all that. haha it's cool but there are definitely better places. I think skaters blew el toro out of proportion haha

That flip was not a one time thing. In fact, in the same actual edit this clip is from he also front flips a 10 set not to mention an array of different things. I think we can all agree that El Toro isn`t the end-all be-all for doing tricks over. I`m basically using it as an example; I mean if i wanted to, I could have used the Walnut 21 or hell the 12 flat 12 out back on the college campus here in BC, but I chose El Toro so EVERYONE would know what I meant.

i think were under thinking the whole front flip down stair sets, its fucking incredible by itself . and the difference between a 13 and a 20 set is huge .

I tell kids that too when they tell me to do something over and over. Little kids always think that people should do something for them because they say to "Do it again".

I was told that all the time when I was doing flips into foam back in the day. Same with truckdrivers, whips, really anything. Always met with "DO IT AGAIN".

I would always say "nah, it's only a one time deal."

That's my mistake its in a different edit, in which he does in fact front flip a 10 set. Definately not a one-time thing; this guy front flips everything.

EDIT: FOUND IT! Fast-forward this clip to 1:06 and watch as Zack clearly front flips a totally diffrerent 10 set.

If you fast-forward the following video to 2:09; they state that if Brandon Begin would have landed the half-cab that Stevie would have followed up with a 360 tailwhip not to mention a couple more tricks Stevie was going to send that they won't disclose. Soo my guess is that that Truckdriver isn't going to stand up for long.

I'm pretty sure Zack Gerber doesn't HAVE to do anything. Except, just like all of us, shit his pants and die.

Cool.

AGAIN. He probably told those kids a one time deal to stop them from shouting the 5 trick names they know and trying to treat him like a puppet.

I tell kids that too when they tell me to do something over and over. Little kids always think that people should do something for them because they say to "Do it again".

I was told that all the time when I was doing flips into foam back in the day. Same with truckdrivers, whips, really anything. Always met with "DO IT AGAIN".

I would always say "nah, it's only a one time deal."

Even just something simple. I get told to do it again. I reply with "Maybe later" or "I can't" or something. I don't go to the park to be the entertainment for a bunch of 5 year olds. (Now if when my son is 5 and says it, that's a little different, and I might just do it again).
