DWay gets a lot of understandable hate here but the guy Back 3'd Macba in the DC video, switch Frontside fliped into that gap to bank all the flip dudes skated in the sorry video and then he went and destroyed a bunch of vert ramps and did all that mega ramp shit all in the same video. Not a lot of people talk about it I feel but his street footage in the DC Video suprisingly good for a dude who made his name riding transition and beat the shit out of himself filming his mega part in the same video.

Pals, Bob Burnquist is literally the most well rounded skater, if you will please follow my literally circular logic.

Considering the many types of terrain and obstacles, Burnquist seems to be able to skate all of them at a high level: nose grinding kinked 9 stair handrails in Menikmati, half pipe beast, pushing the mega stuff further than Danny Way, switch tre flips off a kicker and over a trash can, and he' s the only that did the loop switch stance.  Not only that, but this crazy fuck removed the top section and did it switch.   Danny gonna rocket air back flip the mega?  Well then Burnquist will front flip it.   

Burnquist most well rounded.  Danny a close second.  Everybody else is miles away.

Good stuff for sure. Bob is fucking incredible but still wrong, and here is why.

Yes bob is mega mega ramping and very slayer. street spots for sure. Same thing as danny way. Well rounded should also include style which neither bob burnquit or danny way had. AT ALL. Some shit styles to be honest. Where as cardiel just looks raw as all hell and its just sicks as fuck and gonz is just so unique and amazing. But when you compare those dudes to grant taylor its starts to get a little blurry as GT skates perfect. Then you realize its GT thats the best. Then Ishod goes on insta and post one day of skating and it all comes full circle.

T. Vert, Bowl, Street, Mega kink rails. tech ledge, gaps, THE BEST FUCKING STYLE, Nollie half cab flip s crook curved ledges to bonlesses on 13 ft walls at FDR. Crook triple kinks. tre flip grind 10 rails. Switch front blunt clipper, to blazing bowls on fire just like GT. Again everything GT can do, Ishod can do, but GT cant do everything Ishod can do.

Ishod Wair.

Old school answer: Cardiel

New school answer: that Yuto kid looks like he can skate anything.

We all love Ishod THE BEST FUCKING STYLE......except nowhere anywhere near GT style when on tranny.  He's not stepping to some to some of the spots GT hits either.  And doing an air 2 feet out is not the same as doing it 6 feet out.

not as much power as GT but keeping up better than anyone else could.

surpassing everyone with skill while maintaining 100% style

GT could easily do these and not think twice.

GT could never do this tho. EVER.

Ishod is the answer.

Has Grant Taylor ever done a 540 in Transition? Has he ever flipped into a handrail or a hubba?

Don't even think you can argue it's anyone other than Danny Way.

notable runner's up:

Gonz
Cardiel
Burnquist

feel like Burnquist had suprisingly good street footage for what you'd expect from him, but it didn't stack up to what everyone else was doing the way Danny did.

I'm not sure it is fair to include mega in to the well rounded argument not a lot of guys have access to that kind of stuff. I'd have to say GT, Ishod, and possibly Yuto after seeing that vert insta clip. I would love to see some pool clips in his next part.

Cool skatepark ledge and contest clips there  :P.  We all love Ishod, and all (most) know that he is not fucking with some of the crazy spots GT has hit, not buying your argument that he can do everything GT can do.
