Reynolds. He's a small bag of tricks, and skate the same ol spots over and over again since after The End.

Sean Pablo always gave me a Anthony Pappalardo kind of vibe, even down to the B-grade pro comments
Even in his prime- Stevie Williams was a pro flat ground skater, with some ledge shit sprinkled in between.Amazing style, but easily one of the least versatile street pro’s.

Reynolds has every trick in the book. go watch any of his parts and actually WATCH. dude is easily top 3 GOAT.[close]Sorry but imo, if Reynolds had produced so many distinguished tricks, please name a part where he ended it with a trick other than a basic trick down some stairs. He can do other stuff, but if it isn't a frontside flip, backside flip, kickflip, or some kind of cab, it is filler that is put in more to show off his "variety" than actually to show something growth in skateboarding. Take away that, and he wouldn't have made it. With his formula, he's considered a legend.Here are his enders:The End: Frontside flip 14Baker 2G: Frontside flip 15This is Skateboarding: Frontside flip 16Baker 3: Cab the same set he already frontside flipped at the end of 2GStay Gold: KickflipHow come with every video part, he comes out with an ender that is the same? You'd think he would have some "variety", right? He doesn't, because although he can do a lot of tricks, he's only great at a few. Everybody on the list above can do a lot of tricks, but you see them go back to certain ones over and over again, just like Reynolds. Reynolds has a nice flick and has great control over huge gaps, but trick selection isn't one of his best attributes. He just tends to use a specific group of tricks. Honestly, Moz was right recently when he had said,"Most of them were limited in their skills. They would only do like 3 tricks and jump down stuff all the time. Most of it was fisheye too so all of the stuff they were jumping down wasn’t as big or long as it looked. You have to remember that the action heroes are less than 2%, and the rest are posers. Most people only have like 4 tricks and they call themselves professional skateboarders."I love Reynolds. I think he's great at what he does, and I am a fan. However the question is, what has he brought into skating? His "progression" is purely mathematical. It is particularly bad because people like Koston, Guy, MJ, Daewon, and Marisa has brought some insane stuff to the table. Koston and MJ genuinely can do anything. Every NBD they do becomes the new hot trick, has Reynolds ever even done a trick that hasn't been done yet? That puts them in their own league. Influential even.I understand where you are coming from. I just respectfully disagree.

Thank goodness we have HangtenNoseblunt in here as the voice of reason.
Reynolds did like every trick you could name in Baker 3. He has also proven to everyone as of recently that he can skate low impact shit very well too. Even his battle commander had a lot of different variety in it. Also, some of these basic tricks you’re referring to is down some of the gnarliest shit. Kickflip down Davis gap and full cab down Wilshire is nothing short of impressive. Also your statement about his “filler tricks” makes no sense really. How else is he going to show everyone that he can do other things other than the usual tricks he does? His skating has aged like fine wine and he is better now than ever.
