Steven Cales vs. Matt Reason is fucked.
-
THIS IS THAT SHIT!
-
why is bobby puleo in this? doesn't he fall into the gino/carroll category?
-
Voted already!
-
pang at 47? puelo at 50? i thought the NCAA did a bad job seeding but shit this is way off
-
Jovantae vs. Clyde and Lotti vs. Drake Jones are both so unfair. Love all those guys.
-
Who is Ahmed Hunt?
And where is Mike Cao, Jimmy Chung, Brian Young, or Mike Daher?
I'm too hyped on most of the picks to participate in this. How can you choose between Jeff Pang and Spencer Fujimoto?
-
He rode for Profile, iirc.
-
Sergei Trudnowski vs Vinny Pointe

Too much black on black crime in this too. Shilo vs Kenny? Jovantae vs Clyde? Tough choices...all are too sick.
For reals though, I had to vote against myself in the first round. ALF is too good a choice. At least I'm not Eric Ricks. He may get shut out vs Ocean.
As they say in the NCAA.... "I was just glad to be a part of the tournament and thank the committee for selecting me".
They should do an NIT version of this as well with the bottom tier guys. I would have crushed that tourney!

Hahaha, true. Having the best kf late shove of all time still gets you nowhere when you're going against a legend...

Yeah you really got screwed in the draw Rothdigga. Sorry but I had to go with Alf on that one too. Much respect but Alf's vert skills tipped it.

Black dude....white jeans? Hard to vote against that.....
-
How are you going to have Caine Gayle but leave out Jason Maxwell?
-
This is dumb
-
mike wright all the way.. and yes, eric ricks had the best kickflip late shuv.. its mind boggling!
-

It sure worked for Alf didn't it. Not so much for Ryan Kenrich though....
-
Rene Matthysson
-
those are too hard to call for the most part, I just like seeing all the names. Some cool ass dudes I thought were super cool up there.
-
My votes are in. I'm backing Caesar Singh. Lotti VS Drake Jones was rough
-
Really pulling for Matt Willigan
-
Final 4 will be:
Shilo
Kareem
Lotti
Ocean
Kareem vs Lotti in the finals....Lotti takes it all
-
Body of work....reem wins....
-
no no no
this is alll wrong
it would end up sanch vs lavar
and they would tie
-
Drake Jones was so good. Off to watch old Real videos on YouTube.
-
Body of work....reem wins....
Those weren't my favorites...I was looking at it like a gambler would and picking who everyone else would pick. If it was up to me it would be Ocean vs Chris Hall in the finals. My 2 favorite 90's dudes.
-
Brian Lotti vs. Drake Jones
Gino Perez vs. Sal
Andy Stone vs. Caesar Singh
Pupecki vs. Igei
... are all tough sleepers.
Pat Duffy and Pat Channita should replace some of the Neighborhood guys...
-
Where the fuck is Scott Johnston? The list is pretty "cool guy" heavy, but come on, where are like likes of Israel forbes and ron whaley? I'm pretty sure, as an NHS alumni, Rothdigga will agree.
-
...And Joey Bast. He was pretty "cool guy"
I'll leave this here:

Agreed about Israel. I'm guessing the guy who did this put Whaley as a combo 90's/2000's and left him off for that reason. SJ would have been great. Dudes like Ben Liversedge and others would have been fun too, but that's what lists like this are for. To create conversation.
I actually just finished working on a bracket voting one like this (coincidentally) to put up on THE BOARDR site. Meronek is putting the finishing touches on it now. It's CRAZY skateboarders. Should be fun. I only picked 16 of them so there's a TON I left off that as well, but it should be fun to do. I'll post when Rob finishes it up.

I still see Israel Forbes around town on occasion and that dude is still fucked up good at skating. Master of the late shove. And of course Ron never stopped ripping either.
-
Should be more talk about Henry Sanchez, he should win it all just off of Tim and Henry's Pack of Lies. Pretty sure that part has the most legit NBD's in it.
-
i assume the seeding is completely arbitrary? (as in: no way could henry be the 64th most qualified for the list)

that's right, then the site randomly generated the matchups
-
90s is super tough to judge because skating changed so much from early 90s to mid 90s...this is a sick idea....
-
this whole time i thought it was about 'power skaters', fuck.
-
Matt reason vs Steven Cales and Chris Keefe vs Joey Bast are prob the toughest to call. And where is Ben Liversedge?

With no Pepe Martinez?

I believe it was stated somewhere that they didn't include skaters that had passed so as not to bias the outcome.

Can't get to vote with fb, it just don't work..and i love McKinley but i wouldn't mix it with most of early 90's dudes on the list.
-
Round 2 is on!
-
I don't know if that round was easier or harder to pick.
-
Kareem vs Sal was the toughest for me but I went with Kareem.

I went with Kareem too because SLB dipped out of view for a fair while.

So sheepskin jean jackets have no importance in your life?

can't say i agree with chris hall advancing over suriel, but march madness is a fickle mistress.
