Skaters who couldn't peak
« on: April 29, 2016, 07:18:36 PM »
What skaters do you wish peaked? Skateboarding is subjective to what you believe in and I believe these guys could've and would've been alot better if the time was right

  Nothing about 'time is rite' or anything but, "skaters that never peaked" is Jeff Lenoce.  Super rad tho.

the younger guys from the final incarnation of rasa libre- Bryan Botehlo, Max Van (forgot), and all of them. I remember thinking all of them were great when that one video came out.

Scott Kane. Although maybe he did peak, it's hard to say. But the fact that his bootleg 3000 part comes up time and time again as being ahead of its time makes me wonder what that company sticking around for a bit longer, or him getting a decent offer when it folded, would have led to.

Maybe Kyle James. Or it could be better to think that the existing footage of him is him at his peak.

Max Van Arnem was really good. Seeing Bryan Botelho and Jesse Narvaez in Northern Co. videos is great. Though truly, they never peaked. Just kept doing the same stuff.

Robbie Mckinley, seemed to have more there and just sort of gave up. There's also a bunch of guys who put out one insane part where you were hoping them to take it a bit further and they just disappeared such as Trainwreck In-Bloom part or as previously mentioned Scott Kane. Greg Myers looked to be on his way to a sick career and just piled out.

I think the bolded dudes peaked, they just didn't stay pumping footage forever Both still had pretty good second winds, particularly Henry with Sight Unseen. Henry was arguably at the top of skateboarding after Pack of Lies, that part took ledge skating to the next level, it'd basically be like taking all the crazy NDB ledge tricks in Fully Flared (and there influence) and putting it into one part. I'd also say Penny's Etnies part was a pretty massive peak.

It's amazing how much I'd rather watch 100 swich ollies and heelflips from Jeff on repeat before Figgy or TK doing anything on a board. That's me tho.

if the time was different, Mike Rusczyk.

Growing up skating Illinois in the 90s I have to agree with this. It was always a treat to watch him skate.
I also saw him snake a kid with cancer once for some go fund me or some shit.

I saw him skate in LA right about the time he first got on Blind. And he was ripping, skated so fucking fast and consistent.
Amazingly good style too.

Kyle Fredrick, that last part he had filmed all on a cruiser was so sick but he had no sponsors.

Scott's and Trainwreck's careers we're simply cut short by injuries, and Greg Myers is currently in jail.

Mike mo definitely

Maybe Suciu? He put out some fucked up videos, but that whole appendix thing seems to have set him back a lot. Not expecting much in the Adidas video. If he wasn't hurt for most of the filming, I'd be expecting one of the best part of the decade, even better than his other ones.

Quite the opposite my friend.

If these guys had come up today with sponsorship money and parks everywhere, multiple video parts etc. These legends would destroy the game.

  Toms skating was a peak for skateboarding and I'm the biggest fan but I have to agree with the Penny not peaking comment.  He came out unreal and then from what I'm to understand he was on hard drugs minus all his teeth 3 or 4 years after he first moved to America.  His skating was still good by the time "Sorry" came out but the magic look it had wasn't really there anymore as much.  Thats how I remember feeling anyway.  The best Penny parts are fan vids on youtube.  Really good one that sailboatsandwine made.
