I’ve always been a huge Crail fan but never really gave a fuck about Mike Carroll. His style is good but he seemed like a kook even in the Plan B days and I always preferred Rick Howard.

Andrew Brophy’s part in Cliché “cle” is really good. Great style and pop and some really nice smooth grinds and slides. One of the best ollies in skateboarding.

The janoski slip on is very ugly and nearly ruined a lot of recent footy

I think we share a similar unpopular opinion.

I don't get why switch skating is put on a pedestal. Yeah, it's harder, but it doesn't look better.

There’s a point where you go from that’s reasonable, that’s how you ride to being a complete gimmick. If you have to show or bring it up, you’re doing too much.

kooks are more respectable than "true skateboarders" at this point

When it comes down to it skating and footage wise. I prefer Koston's career to Reynolds.

Koston is breadth and Reynolds is depth. Very few people are better at the tricks Reynolds does, and very few has a bag of tricks as deep as Koston's. So theres a short list of Reynolds parts that you can are his best, wheras everyone is probably all over the place when they talk about their favorite Koston part.

I prefer Reynolds, but I do like some old man slappies Koston when he's not talking.

I would also put Alexis Sablime in that category.
She does the super deep squat which imo the thing that makes a lot of women have similar skate styles.

fair, but i think you gotta go back further to get a real appreciation for the guy, he did a switch 360 nosemanual in like 93 if not earlier, he was basically cruising for all of menikmati too
