False! The only person to have ever done it was Chris Rotax back when the whales tails were in Randolph I believe.

I heard some crazy stuff from the meatheads crew........

wrong

seen it happen multiple times from 89...went to st mikes for 4 years, used to see it a lot actually....maybe just a few people filmed it....burton dudes used to hit it too

Unless one of your modules was "History of people jibbing the whale tails", your point is irrelevant.

incorrect...the degree allows me to determine what is historical

jibbing whale tails isnt historical, becuase its happened, more than once!

keep studying partner

the difference between Chris and the meatheads crew sesh was that he threw a grab and they were throwing flips and spins.

i love the debate over whether or not it's historical. Can we all just agree that something epic probably happened, and we're all super stoked to see the footage?

On another note, you guys weren't kidding, it literally is a whale's tail. What is the deal with that shit?

Reverence is a sculpture created by Jim Sardonis in 1989. The sculpture depicts two tails of whales "diving" into a sea of grass and is meant to symbolize the fragility of the planet. The tails were made from 36 tons of African black granite and stand 12-13 feet tall.

The sculpture was originally commissioned by British metals trader David Threlkeld, who was then a resident of Randolph, Vermont. The tails were to be an exhibit at a conference center that Threlkeld was planning, but financing fell through and Threlkeld moved to Arizona. They were then moved to Technology Park in South Burlington where Ben & Jerry's ice cream has its corporate headquarters.
