Title: What pros are unanimously loved by all skateboarders?
Post by: mattchew on November 01, 2017, 09:03:50 PM
Who among the pros are the untouchables, rippers that quite literally everyone loves/no one hates, lest some naysayer be shunned by the rest of the skate world?

I'll start:

Cardiel
Keenan
Mullen
Reynolds
Carroll
Dylan
Gonz
Stranger...?
Natas...?
Ishod...?
Grant...?

I feel like there's lost of really close calls, like Penny (who, for the record, everyone should love, all eras included) because some butthead will be like "nah, his clothes are wack now and his style is gone", or Tony Hawk is lame "because he sold out" etc. etc.

Alternate question:

Who was so close to making the list then blew it due to social media/internet age?

Koston, Guy, and MJ are the first three that come to mind.

Everyone loves Jim but here's my semantical argument:

I didn't include him because I feel like for a lot of young people he's universally adored as an industry head as opposed to his professional skate career, you know?

I think some people dislike the Jake Johnson/Gilber Crockett approach to skating where as youngsters they we capable of really gnarly and technical shit, but refine their bag of tricks and focus more on power/form/style. I personally love that approach and it's sick to watch it develop but I'd argue people prefer older stuff from Jake Johnson than his newer stuff.

The Depreciation of Reynolds:

Reynolds Vs. Gershon, bitching out the 1st time, acting hard & still getting fire slapped out him the 2nd time (in front of 90% of PD) at the Baker Premier

He got his pass back tho after this last Epicly Laterd episode, he was drunk & young, we all were.

that new Skateboard comic book artist? Span Lee?

Co-sign on the Kimbel, although I think he's underrated/unknown to the point where he can't be unanimously loved...yet.

Also, does David Gravette fall into this thread category? I don't think I've heard anyone say anything negative about him. Nothing bad stands out either, he's humble, collected, etc.

Before his death, Dylan had a lot of naysayers.

I don't think I can remember people hating on Rick Howard. Cardiel, Reynolds, and Daewon are similar. There are a bunch of rippers most people love, but have detractors. Koston, Mariano, Ave, and Carroll fall into this group.

Of the newer guys, I can't think of anyone who hates on either Ishod or Westgate. Thiago, Wes, Kyle Walker, and Evan Smith also seem universally loved. There are also guys everyone loves their footage, but people hate the fact they rarely put it out such as PJ, and Gino.

So he's one of the most overrated because of a (switch) hill bomb in a one minute  promo clip?

 I'm seriously curious why he's deemed overrated when you look at Boys of Summer, Hockey II, Propeller...his style and trick selection is nice. Backside flip to that near vertical bank in Hockey II hasn't been matched by much at that spot.

Also, if more than 3 powerslides negate bombing a hill, I guess those pussy GX dudes better find a new schtick.

I remember having this DVD and loving his part.His wider set built stood out since most skaters are frail and skinny, he was also skating switch down rails pretty good. Been a fan ever since, love anything from him.

Mentioning anyone who's passed is an easy shoe-in.  ::)

I noticed in the least deserving SOTY thread that neither Rowley or Arto received a single vote which made me happy. Though I do sort of hate Rowley these days.

Man, hating/disling on Arto seems harsh. He's a humble man, especially in this part of his career. But Theotis hasn't been mentioned in this thread so I shouldn't expect everyone to have the same view..

Does anyone dislike AA or Gerwer?

They better not.


Biebel is a glaring omission.

Rowley has always been a favorite of mine but I get why some people wouldn't like him.  I know exactly what can of worms you're talking about too.  I do admit that I am getting tired of seeing the same interviews of him over and over again. 

Also this video probably doesn't help his image much either.  I know the kid asked a lame question but I think Geof's reaction was kinda childish:

Who among the pros are the untouchables, rippers that quite literally everyone loves/no one hates, lest some naysayer be shunned by the rest of the skate world?

I'll start:

Cardiel
Keenan
Mullen
Reynolds
Carroll
Dylan
Gonz
Stranger...?
Natas...?
Ishod...?
Grant...?

I feel like there's lost of really close calls, like Penny (who, for the record, everyone should love, all eras included) because some butthead will be like "nah, his clothes are wack now and his style is gone", or Tony Hawk is lame "because he sold out" etc. etc.

Alternate question:

Who was so close to making the list then blew it due to social media/internet age?

Koston, Guy, and MJ are the first three that come to mind.

Guy was certainly hated before social media existed. The late 90's were harsh for that guy for sure.

Time passes and whilst inebriated at a bar after a premier Drew says something about Gershon not having the authority to make such claims, thing escalate quickly and with a little too much dutch courage Drew calls Gershon a nigger and Gershon regulates with a flooring punch.

DAEWON SONG

I can confirm Daewon is not only the nicest skater, he's the nicest guy ever. Had the privilege of meeting him a few times at contests and demos and dude was all smiles. First time I met him was the time between Decca and Almost. I asked what the deal was with a board sponsor. He said to keep a lookout for a new company (Almost). Hooked me up with some world board, gear, and about 100 Matix and DVS stickers. Before driving away he said "make sure to hook up your friends." Best believe everyone I knew ended up with some gear and stickers.

Also, I don't believe that I've ever heard anything negative said about Nick Boserio
Dude butted heads with the Alien Workshop team hard after that Life Splicing part dropped, I thought.

Did anyone say Louie Lopez yet? I was shocked by how many pros shouted out his Volcom part last year when SOTY predictions came about. He's definitely got that likeability factor that seems to transcend cliques and groups, plus the obvious talent to back it up.
