There is no fucking way you have forgotten Jim Gagne. You mention him frequently. Very frequently.

Wade Speyer and Alan Peterson are the two raddest people I have ever seen skate.

ha, you're right but like someone on here's sig 'i'm an ardent supporter of futile causes' and keeping gagne's name alive is one of my pet projects. i daydream about him coming out of retirement and sharing a part [and a bed?] w/ lacey baker. 'gagne and lacey' straight to youtube, do not stop at the berrics, do not collect $200 in advertising royalties and do get her pregnant. from his interviews and former proximity to northampton i believe jim gagne could turn a lesbian straight or maybe he skated to a george thorogood song that mentioned it?

wild wil taylor is rusty's forgotten favorite.

Just post whatever forgotten skateboarder you remember.

To start this thread I guess I will just start with Pancho Moler

Best YouTube comment on the Pancho video: "That kid is super good for his age."

Ron Knigge. He was damn good and I think he was on the verge of escaping the small wheel big pants flip flop era with some dignity and moving on to better skating. Not sure what happened to him after those early New Deal vids.

i always thought that dude should get more credit. not just for his skill, but for his style too. everything he did was perfect plus he had that quick foot set up that's all the rage now and he did it in a super relaxed fashion. one of the top ten styles ever in my opinion.
