I always kinda felt Micah hollinger should have been bigger. He was one of the first "wierd" style skaters with an interesting selection. Especially considering at the time it was all about who was going bigger.

And what happened to Jamie Palmore? He's one of my all time favorites.

Our hometown heros. Greg Millions had an even better part on Slap's youtube channel but I can't find it for some reason.

half the dudes in 411vm am chaos

its weird to see the people who've made it ripping next to the people who've disappeared off the face of the planet. sean payne had that crazy bs flip in this 411 vid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh_JVJ_d3_Q

janoskis line with the fs flip, switch flip, switch nosegrind 180 is so fucking smooth. also joey pulsifer? different vid but he had this rapid three ollies up onto a series of ledges, another one into nose manny and then nose mannied down the next 3 ledges and flipped out. same vid had micah hollinger with a nice nosegrind shuv up a bench and AA with a flip blunt?

Gary Robinson owned a skateshop with my uncle in the late 90s early 00s, they got me started skating back then. Found him on Instagram at some point, he's just living life doing other stuff.

Good skater tho...

gary robinson owned a bit of board kennel? i loved that shop and all their vids.

Not one who didn't "make it", but what the fuck is going on with Max Geronzi?? That dude is sick as fuck. I thought he would've been picked up immediately after cliché's untimely folding.

Shit I thought Gronze was going to get bigger as well. Thought those few parts that came out in quick succession were great. Hope he goes somewhere. One of the few non legendary skaters I follow on instagram.

And Brian Emmers seemed like a good candidate being an Am on Plan B during that era as well, but I only heard rumors about him fucking up somehow. Dating somebody's ex? Something like that.

Brian Emmers apparently wrote letters to Girl and AWS saying to "recognize the skills". P sure it got blown out of the water and he's got an interview on Chrome Ball or something clearing it up. Emmers was siiiick!
