Title: Which pro's style reminds you most of your own?
Post by: DMH on September 02, 2014, 09:23:35 PM
Who do you think you look most like on your skateboard?

For myself, the first one that comes to mind is Dan Pensyl. I'm not as short or buff as him, but I'm a little stocky and think we crouch before tricks and land tricks similarly.  

Edit: Feel free to brag. This is a thread designed for ego augmentation/suppression.

Once, a guy who was a huge Rusczyk fan told me that I skated like him. I was pretty stoked on that. But I always thought I look like a vert skater skating street (vertosis), because I was unfortunate enough to grow up in a small midwestern town that didn't have any ramps.

The "how inflated is your ego?" thread.

I can appreciate these sentiments. This thread is definitely a forum for ego checking or ego inflation. It's the observer in me that likes seeing whether people choose to deprecate, gloat, or just be honest. I think I started the thread with a pretty honest answer (and no one's going crazy over Dan Pensyl's style anyway). It's been interesting to see the responses from there forward.

Recognizing some similarities between your own style and someone else's isn't being pretentious. I don't think anyone in here is saying they're as good as the people they're comparing themselves to, it's just noticing little nuances n whatnot
