Tony Hawk vs. Hosoi vs. Lance Mountain. You determine the podium

[j....soy.....]

I think Hawk was doing a switch front nose pick?  Pretty insane he was trying such hard shit....if you put them in today's standards....hosoi or Lance wins for sure but skating at the time was all about progression....

We can all agree that the good ol' days was the winner in this one

I went to that contest at the Key Arena in Seattle. It was actually called the GotchaGrind and I was such an excited young grom I thought everyone skated rad, but in retrospect all the tech stuff and switch Tony did was way ahead of what the other guys were doing, and I do think he deserved to win. I think at the time I actually did enjoy the Lance and Hosoi runs more, but I wasn't thinking about the more difficult tech tricks, just rooting for the guy that flew the highest.

[Far from relevant]

Whoever had the most fun should win. So prob Lance.

I have to admit my fondness for Lance is somewhat influenced by his closeness with Blender and Lucero so my judging probably skewed for that reason.

The answer is Neil Blender.

The answer is always Neil Blender.
