Title: pros that people love that you can't get into
Post by: formeitscrazylike on August 12, 2010, 08:11:58 PM
for me...

ethan fowler (i know i'm gonna catch hate for that one). i just don't see what everyone is talking about with that dude

i never understood poppalardo's cult following, not when he was hiphopalardo and not now that he's doing the wood bench and ollie thing

pat duffy. his plan b parts were awesome, yes. but wasn't feelin his transworld part n what he's up to now. for me it's like the matrix, the second and third movies somehow made the first one worse after the fact.

Cory Kennedy (Another Berrics prodigy kid)
Mike Mo (Comes off as wicked arrogant to me. I dunno, maybe he isn't, what do I know)
Brandon Biebel (Dude's voice makes me wanna punt a baby, and uses the lamest anthem-style rap songs for his parts. He's just too jock-ish to me.)
Wade DesArmo (360 Flip catching with your front foot a yard in front of you looks kooky to me. But hey, to each his own. Just isn't my steeze.)

That's all I can think of for the moment. NOTE: I do NOT HATE these guys. There's just certain things about me that make me dislike them and not see why everyone loves them.

Andrew Allen (Something about his style seems whack to me)
Damian Bravo (Same)
Karl Watson (Kinda boring)
Rodrigo TX (Really boring. Doesn't look natural)
Pretty much every girl skater (some exceptions)
Decenzo brothers (Mainly Scott)
Theotis Beasley (I don't get the hype)

Decenzos are the only ones I like a lot out of that list.
Karl Watson's a really down-to-earth dude and I don't mind his skating.
Rodrigo TX is overrated to me. Too many BS Crooks on loading dock lips.
Theotis is an educated black kid that rips and actually doesn't even like to swear I guess. Or maybe it was drink/smoke. Can't remember.
But I see where you're coming from.

ethan fowler (i know i'm gonna catch hate for that one). i just don't see what everyone is talking about with that dude

I can understand that. Personally he's one of my original favorites and I think it has something to do with how he kind has this powerful control over his tricks, and the way he is sketchy and smooth at the same time. One of my all time favorite 360 flips too.

For me I wanna say I feel weird that I don't like Guru Khalsa's skating, but I just never really liked his footage, I'm sure it's amazing to see him skate in person though.

Post by: heckler on August 13, 2010, 10:01:11 AM
I agree with Khalsa, it's not that I dislike him, it's just that I never really feel the urge to watch his footage more than once or twice. Same thing applies to Rodrigo TX.

guru and silas. both amazing skaters, but i hated the songs they used in inhabitants; felt like i was being lulled to sleep. Since I don't watch their parts, I'm not too fond of their skating. stupid reason, but never underestimate the power of a song.

Stefan Janoski was the other one I was trying to think of earlier. I just think his 360 Flips look goofy and overrated. At least in that trick tip video. :-X Like definitely NOT "Best Tre EVER" material. There's definitely better. Cole, P-Rod, and Thomas have my favorite 3 Flips.  
 By the way, I'm ready for shit-talk from all angles for that one. I just never saw the hype about him.

Torey Pudwill (worst style ever)
I'm impressed by a lot of the stuff he's done, but the windmill thing makes me press fast-forward.

I respect Koston and am impressed with everything he has done but I can't stand watching a part of his. I'm thinking it's the switch mongo.

Nugget - I can't think of a legit reason. I just don't like watching footage of him.

I'm not gonna quote everyone, but definitely Guru in the top spot. That dude is the definition of bland, from his style to trick/spot selection to even his clothing and a fucking ponytail? C'mon, son...

Agree 100% with Justin Brock and Theotis. Nothing they do really stands out, but I'm not going to hate on them besides the fact that Justin went pro way too soon.

How is putting out one company video part and one homies video part considered "paying dues?" I can't remember a single trick he's ever done besides that ugly 360 flip down the jeremy wray triple set.

i can agree with the ethan fowler comments, never enjoyed any of the footage i've seen of his, and his shared part in prevent this tragedy was unbearable, the only part i skip in the whole video. any tom penny footage post canadian dress code and beanie pulled down to the eyes is pretty awful too. maybe the clothing is just too distracting for me, but other than for nostalgic reasons, i don't get why anyone would enjoy watching his newer stuff. his old shit is really good though.

The one thing I love about Malto, that dude has a ear to ear grin in just about every photo I've seen of him. Awesome he's having so much fun.

Just because he's only put out 2 parts doesn't mean he isn't good or hasn't been killing this whole time.
I don't think real would of turned him pro for no reason.
He's skating above an am level.
sure there are way better am's then him, but it doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it.

Malto is an a amazing skater with undeniable talent and skill why still having a great style.
Trapasso. If your talking about his thrasher part then all i can tell you is he wasn't really trying.
I think they filmed his part in 6 months or more, but it was kinda is mess around part since it was the thrasher video, but watch his tws part or new footage (switch flip downtown 15) and you can tell he's been doing amazing things while having some of the most style in the game in my opinion.

i'm a trapasso fan but i think he's on a downward trajectory. that whole pothead style just doesn't last. look at lavar mcbride, such a big deal at one point and just smoked himself out of the game. tom penny, "chillin stoner" style and drugs have definitely taken their toll on that dude. brent atchley, it seemed like he was gonna be big shit on element for a while and now i haven't seen footy of him in i dunno how long. i have a feeling trapasso is just gonna smoke himself into a lazier and lazier state and he'll go from laidback style to just not trying at all and not doing worthwhile tricks.

i feel like more skateboarders blaze than don't, but there are those dudes that have the pothead style on the board. plus once they get all this praise about having laidback style they over-do it and figure since it got them where they are, it will keep them there, which obviously isn't true based on the examples above.

Bryan Herman (I feel like I'm a watching a really good autistic kid skate when I watch his parts)
Bieble (can be funny but mostly he's just annoying)
Mike Mo (kinda seems stuck up)
Appleyard (I just don't get the hype)
Tom Penny (again....boring)

Stop talking man; you're making a bigger case against him than for him. You listed off a bunch of "reasons" that don't mean anything, yet somehow managed to give a legitimate reason for him NOT to be pro.


Also completely agree with Trapasso, and let's throw Jose Rojo in there too.

i back rojo being pro, if just for the fact he had that gnarly car accident or whatever it was before he was going to initially then came back skating off the back of it, enjoi did a good thing there.

as for the topic though, kerry getz. i've just never seen the attraction.

i'm a trapasso fan but i think he's on a downward trajectory. that whole pothead style just doesn't last. look at lavar mcbride, such a big deal at one point and just smoked himself out of the game. tom penny, "chillin stoner" style and drugs have definitely taken their toll on that dude. brent atchley, it seemed like he was gonna be big shit on element for a while and now i haven't seen footy of him in i dunno how long. i have a feeling trapasso is just gonna smoke himself into a lazier and lazier state and he'll go from laidback style to just not trying at all and not doing worthwhile tricks.

i feel like more skateboarders blaze than don't, but there are those dudes that have the pothead style on the board. plus once they get all this praise about having laidback style they over-do it and figure since it got them where they are, it will keep them there, which obviously isn't true based on the examples above.

malto i dunno if its just me but he seems bland, his whole style seems too stiff to me

jerone wilson, Justin eldridge, chris roberts, daniel castillo, devine calloway and mikey taylor i cant remember a single thing any of those guys ever did

i don't get how anyone who watches his footage could think that. every time new footage of him comes out, he's got a couple tricks in there that he's never done before or rarely does. his x-games real street part was the only one of all the entries that could've passed for a part in an actual skate video, it was amazing. and considering he's filming for the brainwash promo at the same time, you can only guess that his shit for that video is gonna blow minds.

Shit... he's not really a pro and I'm not sure if people love him or not but...
Curren Caples... there's better kids his age. But seriously, who names their fuckin' kid Curren. Honestly.
Also, he looks like straight-up tans in a booth.
[close]

I am not going to say who you can like and who you can't, but come on. Not liking him is whatever, but because his name is Curren and because he's too tanned for you? Fuck off.
He's not "too tanned" for me. Let me rephrase that entire part. He's a Cali surfer-style prodigy Woodward kid to me. And Curren is an odd name. I don't dislike him for it, I just think his parents went out there a little. So, technically, I was talking about his parents.

Chima's rad and he definitely deserves a board, but I can't remember a single fucking thing he put out before his Thrasher interview last year.
There was some Volcom video. I don't own a copy but I'm pretty sure it's called Let's Live.

i'm a trapasso fan but i think he's on a downward trajectory. that whole pothead style just doesn't last. look at lavar mcbride, such a big deal at one point and just smoked himself out of the game. tom penny, "chillin stoner" style and drugs have definitely taken their toll on that dude. brent atchley, it seemed like he was gonna be big shit on element for a while and now i haven't seen footy of him in i dunno how long. i have a feeling trapasso is just gonna smoke himself into a lazier and lazier state and he'll go from laidback style to just not trying at all and not doing worthwhile tricks.

i feel like more skateboarders blaze than don't, but there are those dudes that have the pothead style on the board. plus once they get all this praise about having laidback style they over-do it and figure since it got them where they are, it will keep them there, which obviously isn't true based on the examples above.
[close]
i don't get how anyone who watches his footage could think that. every time new footage of him comes out, he's got a couple tricks in there that he's never done before or rarely does. his x-games real street part was the only one of all the entries that could've passed for a part in an actual skate video, it was amazing. and considering he's filming for the brainwash promo at the same time, you can only guess that his shit for that video is gonna blow minds.

yep

sure Baines may have been round for a while but i think he deserves a bit more recognition, i was so stoked when i heard lucian got on element (iirc), cos he was going places, but to me there are others who stand out more.

Yeah but with Palace, Altamont, Shake Junt, DVS colorway, This time tomorrow and his mag minute - i feel like he has real momentum and feels like he's properly come up.

Jensen and brady have both done huge things, esp by uk standards but so established that i don't count them as recent come ups.

Yeah him, trapasso and a torrent of others. Nothing to do with them as a people or even their styles on a board, but to me they're the same person in a different package.

Unless you're Reynolds or a select other few, you don't really appeal to me if you're basing your career around jumping down shit.

I mean, I appreciate that they're pushing their own personal boundaries, but I've grown fond of shit that looks fun or inventive as apposed to stressful and death defying.

I can see why they're liked, I just don't care.

donny barley.  other people like his power and spontaneity, but i find him really hard on the eyes.

I'm a fan of barley; his trick/spot selection has always been spot on. But it bothers me how he (amongst others) has no loyalty and will get on whatever next company will take him.

Back in the day I couldn't stand Chad Muska, never saw why people loved him so much. If you watch his vids now he comes off as even more of a douche.
Great skills but just couldn't get in to him.
Does Shane Heyl count btw?
Antwan Dixon
Most of the Baker/Deathwish/Shake Junt team except for Reynolds and Ellington.
And I never thought I would say this but Mike V. Why are you going to get in to a fight at a Ducks game, when you could at anytime have gotten a hockey stick for your kid. He's kind of become a parody of himself at times.

All the old school Girl dudes just because they make skating seem like it has to be about being the best and most technically advanced. But at the same time I really love BA 'cause he doesn't skate that way. Olsen and Malto are tight, too. Then I could never really get into Kerry Getz. Don't know why, though.

i kinda sympathize with chaz ortiz just cause he's a kid. imagine if you're whole teenage life was analyzed by a bunch of teenagers and 20-somethings all across the country, you'd look like a goon too.

yeah he does have little kid style and he is what he is, but he's got this crazy talent and he's not mature enough to find his own way. at the ripe ol age of 16 or whatever he's just following advice from peers, team managers, and parents. he'll grow up eventually. even dill was a little kid skater following what he thought was put in front of him at one point, as evident from that CBI interview.

and not saying that ortiz is a dill either, just a comparison while i wax poetic about some goofball am and the volatile and unbalanced world of skateboarding

With the Justin Brock argument- dude 360 flipped the California street gap in SF. That is fucked beyond belief, he deserved pro status then and there.

Also, I think Furby has pretty good style.
My list:
Antwuan Dixon- always thought his style was too stiff. A lot of people love it, I hate it. I guess I can say that at least it means his style has personality
Sean Malto- I can't say the same for Malto's style. This kid is capable of doing the most mindblowing tricks while not entertaining me.
Alex Olson- He's talented, but he doesn't put out much coverage, and what he does isn't amazing. his hollywood personality rubs me the wrong way, and seriously? Girl? How the fuck did that happen? I feel like this guy was the overhyped draft pick who hasn't amounted to much.
Most of the blue print team- if you named them individually, I like a lot of guys on that team. NOTHING sounds more boring to me than watching a blueprint video though. I don't particularly like british street skating, and something about the videos is so dreary.
Erik Ellington- dude seriously relies way too much on like 3 tricks. He's like Clyde Singleton without the ability to say as much funny shit.
Spanky- That dude just annoys me.

You should definitely worry about being "kooked". To avoid this, just try posting things that are popular on SLAP. Start by talking about how awesome Busenitz is, then go on the shoe thread and if someone posts a picture of a white shoe, mention that it looks "so clean". Original? Hell no, but that's beside the point. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, REVEAL YOUR TRUE OPINION.

I think I just hit two birds with one stone. This was actually a lesson in sarcasm as well!

Its funny, because some of the people with the highest reps are also the most generic. Generally a person with a high rep thinks of clever ways to echo the common opinion.

Also, Daryl Angel sucks. Part of it is because I have heard of a lot of people having experiences with him treating them like shit, the other part is that he almost has that Malto thing going, where he can do tricks I would like if another person did it, but when he does it its dull.

^ muska was the alternative to the tumyeto dudes if you were into gnarly skating.

He annexed two things that were huge with kids at the time, gnarly shit and hiphop culture. Around 96' it was no wonder why he was so huge. Not that kids weren't fanning out over The Chief at all, but a lot of kids of that era couldn't get into The Who and The Doors.

for my friends it was more his lifestyle than his skating, there was tons of dudes who skated bigger stuff at that time, whats funny is that they werent that into The Chief then, but when he started Zero they was all over him, changed their chlothes and skating styles.
I guess alot of people did that all over the world

What time are you talking about? Muska's shit in Fulfill the dream was gnarlier than anything anybody was doing at the time, also, Muska's hype peaked years after zero started.
I just remember when it came to gnarly rail skaters, where I lived, you were either in the Muska camp or the Jamie Thomas camp for who the gnarliest was.

go skate a spot by yourself at 6 in the morning, completely disconnected from society, and tell me you don't find any satisfaction in that. i'm not cam'ron mad or anything, i guess skateboarding is my way of not dealing with anyone, i dislike people in general, they cherish life and everything a little too much for my liking.

Youre a fool, without pros most skateboard companies would be bust in a matter of days, id like to see you go skating at 6 in the morning without a deck.

Every sport (i know i know its not a sport its a lifestyle yatta yatta yatta) needs pros to spread brand names, shift product, etc. essentially pros are just a way of skateboarding compannies advertising

Yeah I do agree but we need pros. But you do not really need to get so immersed in their personalities. It's skateboarding not myspace. The reason we need pros and ams is because they set the bar for skateboarding past present future. 

If it were not for a janoski-biebel run in when i was just starting out I do not think i'd of been so pumped. Especially because everyone i knew was telling me i was too big for a skateboard and that only short people are good, then i seen stefan and biebel and I was hooked.

I am glad that stefan got a shoe and everything, I remember you'd say his name and nobody would know who it was. Now he's blowin up like branch davidian

bobby puelo.  personifies the utter nonsense that is 'i do shitty tricks on a spot no one has skated so i am original and better at at skateboarding'.  

richard alder.  like watching the grass grow.  people on here love him though


keenan, but that is only because i don't like people who only skate switch, and if they skate regular it is not often and a random flat ground trick.  queue sammy baptista.  shame how he died though because he meant so much to a lot of people.  carolino keeps enough regular tricks in there to be enjoyable

keenan, but that is only because i don't like people who only skate switch, and if they skate regular it is not often and a random flat ground trick.
Nobody can fade Keenan's style.  Can't be compared to Sam Bap at all.  You're trippin.

Shane ONeil-Was probably an amazing ballerina in his past life.
Austyn Gillete
Daryl Angel-He puts out so much footage that everything looks the same to me. His parts are a dime a dozen. You don't even notice when he gets better.
Malto-People have already summed it up pretty well.
James Hardy-Skates like a boner, gnarly but stiff.
Reynolds is top 5 all time, but hes become one of the most predictable skaters there are. I would love to see a Reynolds part where he didn't just skate bigass gaps though.
Spanky will never be able to top his "This is Skateboarding" part. He was sicker as a lil kid.

Give or take everyones got their own opinion. Upon reading this threads title I was gona hop in and say lizard king, but I must say seeing any of these dudes skate in person is amazing. I thought lizards skating was gross but seeing him blast a backside flip got me psyched to go skate. Dudes I see in videos who I thought had doodoo style are completely different in person. I wasn't a fan of danny fuenzalidas parts but seein him in person changed my opinion. Idk

I don't dislike the guy whatsoever, but I'm surprised at the number of people who seem to love Chris Cole's style. I like to watch his skating for sure, but I've always thought there was a little something odd about his style. A friend of mine said it was Popeye style.

Anyway, like the title of the thread says, I just can't seem to get into his skating as much as a lot of people seem to. But I ain't hating!

i think most people dont like him for his style but for the tricks he does, you know like bs 360 kicky down carlsbad, crooked nollie inwardheel down a rail shit like that. although i cant hate on his style, purley because its quite similar to my own in the way that he normally lands quite "straight legged" rather than all crouched down. (not saying thats a good thing, just saying if i hate on his its a bit like hating on my own HA)

I can see where you're coming from with Silas, but having just gotten into skating when his Powell slick deck (or whatever they were) ads were coming out in that Skate 1 zine, and having followed him more or less since then, I'm way too impressed by his ability do do just about anything to not like the guy. It's pretty cool to see him skate in person too, if you happen to live in Portland.

haha, I actually like adam dyet, in the sense that I want to see footage from him because hes really fucking good. I'm not super stoked on him or anything. Dude nollie fs 360 heeled a legitimate gap awhile ago in a darkstar ad.


And I really can't get all that into the blueprint team, or that lucien clarke dude. english skateboarding seems really dull to me. maybe its the cloudy sky and shitty terrain in all the footage. there are a few parts i like in the blueprint videos though, especially rattray's part in the old one.


I like bobby puleo's parts, especially the one with KRS, but his type of skating is really fucking boring in photographic form, and he kinda seems like a prick.


yeah mikey taylor too. out of the prod/jereme/mike taylor group, i always liked him the least, and now hes even more boring. his last line in skate more is one of the worst enders i've seen in a part.

silas' inhabitants part is one of the best parts in any habitat/aws video, just mute your tv and put on some music you like bc that part should've ended that video

This is an interesting thread

I don't like any guy on Deathwish except for Greco, EE and Slash
I don't see what's so absolutely awesome about Malto
I loved Trapasso in STJ, but after that he just seemed boring to me
And a lot more that I can't think of right now

Please note, I'm not dissing your opinions at all. I just think that the reason everybody loves Malto so much is because, and you can argue about this statement since its opinion and not fact, he's pretty good if not at least DECENT on every single kind of terrain. I mean, I think we get the fact that he's good at rails and stairs and gaps, but in his And Now part, he also shows us that he has manny tricks, and even tranny (I think he had that back noseblunt even if the fence wasn't there).

And with Trapasso, perhaps his song in And Now wasn't to your liking? Because I thought that part was pretty good. Sure, not as gnarly as Suffer The Joy, but then again, each mean to his own opinion, right?

For me though, I'd have to say Kenny Hoyle. After filming my first part with some friends and watching myself in an actual video, I started to see myself do a lot of the same trick over and over (Impossibles and 3 shoves), and I was annoyed with myself. Then I kinda noticed the same with Kenny and nollie heels. I can relate, having a favorite trick and wanting to involve it in everything, but I guess that's why I find it annoying lol. I also think with out of every Am out there, he wasn't the most deserving to go pro. Look how long it took Chima and he's been killing it WAY harder.

Well, you have to admit, Element is starting to get back into the grove of things, losing the Little-Kid-Company feel. And their team is pretty sick now. Just think it would have been better if they didn't invite Nyjah. Kids good, but it feels like they took a step back with that move.

Do people like Rich Adler? He's one of very few people whose style got worse as he got older. I really liked his EST 2 part, but everything since then has been a steady let-down.

its crazy how people can completely hate a skater that you have always loved, but anyone saying they don't like a skater cause their personality is just plain dumb. its just skating not a cool or nice contest. the one person the doesnt get my hyped to skate is T Puds his shit is so gnarly but i just dont get anything out of it. but i respect that hell out of him.

When was the last time somebody talked about Vince Del Valle?

Elijah Berle would be ok if he wasn't on chocolate, but I hold chocolate riders to a higher level of quality, and he is not even close to that level of quality. It makes me think chocolate is losing its awesomeness. I don't care about the hype around the kid, he's just not that good, he brings nothing original whatsoever to his approach.

Keep in mind he's 16 years old. And if Rick and Mike think he's good enough to be on Chocolate he probably is.

No nigga. If they do a ten-trick-combo while sucking each others dicks id still fall asleep. I cant get into them, I find them boring, ok? Do I have to write "oh, thats just my opinion" like every other mouthbreather, as if the fact that Im writing it is not obvious enough?

Point is; some people are just not interesting to watch, just like P Rod. I agree that these three fuckers are some of the best of the best, but they lack this little it factor. Easy to spot the dullness but very difficult to explain what the real problem is. I mean, PJ gets a lot of homosexual love from me but I dont have the verbal capacity enough to expain my opinion. Maybe Plit Light can help illustrate my point: http://boiltheocean.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/does-paul-rodriguezs-itunes-video-part-deserve-an-elusive-10-0-rating/ (http://boiltheocean.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/does-paul-rodriguezs-itunes-video-part-deserve-an-elusive-10-0-rating/)

PS: Im not very smart and find Pilots writing a bit above my level so dont judge me to hard.

Really Sorry? The bench lines, the switch flip to thumbs up? He could skate a rail now and then, though, and skate for a better company which would release a part for us to froth over.

Paul Rodriguez (too many kids on his dick

Leo is cool as fuck. Paul gets props where props are due, maybe because In Bloom was one of the first vids I saw but I'll always have love for his skating. Those late flips are kind of weird but I guess that's a way of saying "i'm still progressing bitches".
