hmm many valid points     I mostly meant that back then cream generally rose to the top but now...  You could do or be what ever the fuk and still not get piked up, its happening while we speak.  People realize that theres enough talent out there and that the 'pro'skaters themselves need not be as an important part of the equation.  So would everyone fall over arto NOW?  If they felt like it, if they noticed him in todays gargontowan sized talent pool.  So yah prolly not

No one. Even if there was an equal parallel, Arto wouldn't have produced at the level he did without he and Rowley feeding off each other and getting introduced to someone creative and kind of tweaked like Ed Templeton. Trick-wise skateboarding is gnarlier than ever but in terms of a video, nothing is going to match that time in skating ever again. That era is over. Also good luck finding another 8 foot tall scando who doesn't look like a scarecrow on wood and wheels.

whoa! Watched one of his parts. Very rad. Like a Finnish Bobby Dekeyzer. Also, it's fun imagining he's Yung Lean skating.

I kind of agree what i just read, that era is kind of over and Arto definitely earned Skater of the Year that year. It is cool that back then you kind of knew who was going to get it because they just slayed thrasher coverage.

So instead of thinking is the next Arto, i digress and think who is getting that much mag coverage as he did in what 2002? truth is i don't know thrasher is stupid now.

LOWCARD FOR LIFE NOW. Before i was Thrasher for life, glad i didn't get the flame tat haha!
