Mike McGill

Mike McGill is an American professional skateboarder best known for inventing the McTwist, an inverted 540-degree mute grab aerial, which he first landed at a Swedish summer camp in 1984. He was a member of the Powell Peralta-sponsored Bones Brigade team during the 1980s and currently owns McGill's Skate Shop in Encinitas, California, while remaining sponsored by Powell-Peralta. His McTwist trick is considered one of the most influential in skateboarding history and helped define the progression of vertical skateboarding.
