Mike D was the best ramp rider of his generation. Dudes might go higher today, or pull 900s on a regular basis, but none of it would have happened without the pioneering radness of Dominguez, Fiola, Wilkerson and the rest of the oldschool boys...and, anyway, Dominguez is probably the most naturally talented ramp rider who ever lived. You only have to look at his airs, canyon jumps, fakies and massive 540s to see that he was obviously a total genius...
