Andy Bautista hands down seeing him skate the first Drop-In park was ridiculous.
Andy B for sure has the most natural talent on this list. From that "hard work vs talent" thread, Andy is like 110% #1 (natural talent) and like 2% #2-4 (hard work, drive, etc) which sucks cuz dude should be a top tier pro. Watching him skate in person, he's just on another level from everyone else (including other more famous NJ pros).
Can't mention Drop-In without also mentioning Jersey Dave!(yes, he was already mentioned in this thread) Nicest guy in the game.
DE was for sure one of the vibey-est shops, but I also grew up as a SkateWerks guy. RIP Herb, also one of the best and nicest to ever do it. Seeing him push down the street in my town is literally the reason I started skating.
