Skaters who have it the hardest / easiest

[planman]

Massimo Cavedoni - dudes been getting hammers with a good style forever now, eternal Real am.

[expired]

easiest: sean pablo, very small bag of tricks but has colour ways on cons and is pro, the Fa/supreme connection has done him well

[RoaryMcTwang]

Overall easiest probably Daniel Castillo. Don't think CK1 belongs here, he skates a ton and puts out stuff even if its not the stuff the masses hope to see from him.

Hardest I have to go with the undeservedly unpopular Jordan Hoffart.  Has consistenly delivered some of the craziest bangers ever done for well over a decade plus but always had shitty sponsors and was usually either ignored or hated on.

Bams gotta be on the easiest list, any company would want to have his name a part of the brand just cause he sells product....or maybe sold, i guess things are different now but back in the day, he could probably release a 20 second part of him ollieing gutters and people would still be buying anything his connected to.

i have never understood the Hoffart hate, the dude absolutely kills it

Jordan Hoffart, Dave Bachinsky, Cody Mac, and Ryan Descenzo should all just say "fuck it" and start a board company together. They all kill it and the industry obviously doesn't want to and is probably never going to shine the proper spotlight on those guys, so they might as well just start up their own shit.... Ah who am I kidding, it'd probably go out of business in less than a year

With the right name and good art direction that would instantly be my favorite board company.

Easiest- anyone verbally sucking industry dick/ kids with "cool" pants
 Hardest- kids who don't fuck with the skateboard industry but deserve to be pro/ kids without cool pants

Easiest = Not sure if veterans count, but I'll go with Kenny Anderson: Low impact style king -- doesn't have to do much (these days at least).

hardest = Moose: Very talented, I view him as a longer-limbed/gnarlier version of billy marks. Unfortunately, he's on the outs somehow.

totally forgot about moose. good call.

someone mentioned Decenzo as well, but I'm willing to bet he's the highest paid skater on darkstar and prob up there for globe as well. dude also gets that red bull money.

How is Yoshi Tanenbaum still not pro? Not even on Stereo?

Oh yeah, forgot... moose is on mystery. I guess any skater with sponsors that are considered "uncool" & have poor brand status, would probably have it hard. Sometimes, depending on the merit of a skaters skill or style to come through for them, wouldn't matter in that case. Skating is just a microcosm for the struggle of acceptance. I think that's why some career skaters in retrospect say they wish they could have took more money from different brands, instead of honoring the "core" ideology.
