Which skaters did fame fuck up? Could be subtle or obvious.

Jereme Rogers obviously.

Nyjah is a parenting/child fame cocktail so shouldn't be on this list.

Paul Rodriguez prays into his hat and pays for acting lessons like every other successful sportsman to actor did (hint, there weren't any).

Spanky is constantly on an etch a sketch, seems suspect.

Louie Barletta has a bowl cut and drives a tank. Completely gone.

Evan Smith is on his way.

like a million dudes went from sports into acting. mostly pro football players, but still

What's your definition of fame?

Tony Hawk, Bam, Jason Lee, P-Rod, Sheckler, Koston, Dyrdek, Nyjah, and 1999-01 Muska are the only famous dudes and of that group Muska and Bam probably handled it the worst.

Sorry it should have said successful sportsman to successful actor. Stress on successful.

And before you say Terry Crews, I already did so fuck off.

Darrell Stanton went crazy with his fame where he quit all his legit sponsors for DC and Plan B cause of the money, did drugs and never was the same ever since.

I'll add Christian Hosoi to the list..

Dollin is more infamous than anything, but he definitely fell off the bandwagon hard, losing all productivity and focising on antics.

What you said about Louie barletta made me LOL, but we are all a little crazy. We’re writing about skateboarders whom we probably don’t know at all. That’s crazy too.

Gator.

Christian Hosoi for sure.

Everyone that still hangs at Max Fish and lives off the props from contributing ~3mins worth of footage their entire career.

Marc Johnson is bonkers.

Was Jumanji ever really "famous"? He's in la la land. Nice dude though.

Don't know exactly how famous he was at his peak but he's definitely a pile now

Was that before or after Element. He even had some ugly-ass high top on the shoe division.

This dude made the transition without much problem.

P-Rod is easily one of the most levelheaded pro skaters to ever make it. Being a Christian, while unfortunate, doesn't make you insane. He's pretty much got the Midas touch with most of his business ventures, still skates everyday, and remains approachable according to everyone who's ever had anything to say to him. If there's ever been such a thing in professional skateboarding as a real deal role model besides Tony Hawk, Paul Rodriguez would be that guy. No fucking question.

Darrell Stanton is the most depressing good answer to pros that made it and lost their minds. Totally unique style and amazing talent completely squandered.

Jerome Rogers has always been a kook. I think us outsiders just didn't know it until it was too late. We should've saw it coming in PJLWHL with his homie humping antics, but we were too distracted by PJ blowing our minds.

Antwuan - He was known as a quiet ripper when he was coming up. The fame turned him into an obnoxious pile for years to come.

Boo - He wants to be OBJ so bad.

Biebel - Just check his Insta and his teeth.

TK - He actually thought he was the best black skater at one point and had an ad about it.

Jereme - I mean he "retired" skateboarding then came back what a year later with the "Rogers Back" song and nobody was hyped about it.

In all seriousness, and in spite of the fact that he seems to be doing well, Antwuan Dixon definitely stands out as somebody who went a bit nutso.
