It's too bad most under-20 skaters have an attention span of about 30 sec... (they've already stopped reading)


You show them a video like Tincan Folklore and they just stare at their fucking phones.

who are you even skating with? i think kids are more tuned in to older stuff now than ever

I only skate with Morgan Smith and Wade D

[BacksideWallride]

I dunno how old is old...variations of this thread have been made about one thousands times...but I feel like these people's skating is very important to each and every generation:

Neil Blender
Ocean Howell
Greg Hunt/Jason Lee/Ethan Fowler/First 2 Stereo videos
Julien Stranger
Kareem Campbell
Tom Penny
Ricky Oyola
Ed Templeton

and about 9 million other people.

Damn homie I was about to post 4 of those. Good taste, and as someone said, old 411's are great and all online.

Yeah Im new and giddy.. But literally anyone is awesome, I'm just a THPS2 skater, so I needed this thread. Ocean Howell was the first dude who made me realize how shitty I've been to discount anything before "current" skateboarding, and that was just a few years ago. Im positive everyone I mentioned would make you look like a sloth, though. It's not like Chad Fernandez is going to reshape the wheel, but I've seen someone 180 nose grind clipper and shit themselves with all their friends without realizing Micah Hollinger did it a decade earlier.. ALL skate videos are relevant for this reason alone. I'm replying as a crusader of the unfashionably fashionable too.

[bo golden]

Frankie Hill, Randy Colvin and Bill Danforth.

Frankie Hill pushed mongo??

[felipedemetrio]

Quim Cardona

[Fart Sounds]

there are a lot of great names on the list so far
in case nobody's added them so far, a few obvious ones:

nate jones
mike rusczyk
frank gerwer's part in six newell

I always liked Logic, Digital, 411, that kind of stuff (thinking of micah hollinger as an example). They'd catch a lot of b-roll and alternate angles after major videos came out, and have parts from dudes who like, didn't have a Globe or World Industries video to film for or whatever. Same with non-board brand videos like All Systems Go, or the Shorty's hardware video, or Krux videos. Local/shop videos like Pack a Lunch out of DC, the Pitcrew videos, Trouble Shooters, Tactical Manual are fun, too.

If Correa is considered old Renaud is too

not from the same time but definitely the same vein of skateboarding

There's so many injuries that took out champions. Also, on the shady side, dudes plain overlooked because our attention span. If I mention a bunch of "random" dudes who's video parts excite me to this day(even if I didnt skate when all of them were LIT), you could too! Here goes a few at random:
Michah Hollinger, Chris Dobstaff, Mako Urabe, Phillip Schuster, Fabrizio Santos, Don Brown, Chris Lambert, Alex Carolino/Flo Marfaing(probably still fully on it), Alex Moul, Willy Santos, Andrew Langi(at redwood city), and of course myself, and you too! fire em' off but check those out if you havn't seen em..

Impossible tail grab to self cheer!
