Skateboarder Taking Air On Roosevelt Island & Taig Khris's Skateboard Jump From The Eiffel Tower - WOW!

Image From Francine Lange

Francine Lange captured this image of a Roosevelt Island Super Flyer Skateboarder taking air and asks:
Can you tell which trick this street skater was performing at the Tram park? Was it a backside, a Caballerial, a fakie, a frontside, a goofyfoot, a grind, a crooked grind, a 50-50 grind, an ollie, a kickflip, a McTwist, a mongo-foot, a shove-it, a switch stance or a tailslide?
I certainly don't know the moves or the terminology but I do know that skateboarder Taig Khris's death defying jump off the Eiffel Tower is really impressive

Not that I am recommending it, but what would be the Roosevelt Island equivalent? Skateboard Jumping from the Tram, Tram Tower, the Queensboro Bridge?

Even though Roosevelt Island is known as Skaters Island, I probably should re-emphasize that I am not suggesting anybody do such a thing!!!!
