East coast - Mike Maldonado

jagger eaton is a triple threat. easily the GOAT powerhouse

I think you are looking for the unpopular opinions thread.
-
Shiloh Greathouse might not be the best powerhouse but at least honorable mention. Best has to go to BA starring down hubba before the front blunt.
-
Currently, I'd say Westgate assuming we are just talking about speed, power, and pop considering he is also tiny.
-
Westgate is a good one, btw being powerhouse has nothing to do with height, it’s about power, pop and speed as said above.

There’s no way he can sing, dance, and act.

The national grid

Jeremy Wray for his time
And Mason Silva now, but only because everyone already said Westgate. Jon Dickson too, almost forgot about him.

SDG&E keeps my community sufficiently powered

The impressive thing about guys like Tiago and Jon Dickson is how much switch footage they have in comparison to Westgate and Mason, although I think Westgate and Mason tend to skate faster than both.
-
Nik Stain for sure. Not super tech, but still very powerhouse oriented.
-
Speyer deserves an honorable mention
-
“mike maldonado, east coast powerhouse”

Nik Stain for sure.

Westgate.
And, seeing Mason in person at the Dime Olympic event was gnarly.
-
Joey Brezinski
-
Nik Stain is a great one. I feel like gravity affects him more than the average person. Not in a bad way. When he rolls off a curb, it seems like he just sucks down to the ground so fast. It looks so sick.

Couldnt put my finger on it but yes, exactly. Switch skating with power is a very special thing.

Cardiel obviously

Busenitz

Busenitz
this is the correct answer
-
Surprised Bobby Worrest hasn't come up, so him. Everyone here could probably agree that the "up the three" line is one of the most explosive clips from the past few years.
-
Agree with Westgate, Mason Silva, Busenitz, Dickson and Tiago. Speed, pop and style.
-
Reese Forbes is up there.
-
Busenitz
But also Lee Yankou.
-
I’m shocked that nobody has mentioned Donny Barley yet.
-
Oh, and for newer guys. Jack O'Grady is soon going to be heavily discussed when this comes up. Just check his opening line in Kitsch. That Crook is fucked.

Good pick, O'Grady for sure.
I'd add Antonio Durao and Tyshawn to the list.
-
I'll add Austin Kanfoush to the list.

i think today is a good day to be annoying:
All Time: Sheffey
Current: Westgate and Tiago
obligatory:
“mike maldonado, east coast powerhouse”
Reese Forbes is up there.
most stylish powerhouse ever

I'd add Antonio Durao
current fave

now : busenitz and milton martinez
all time : ben schroeder
-
is john fitzgerald a power house
Seems like his knees are made of glass. Regretful disqualification
-
Who’s the best power bottom? One that generates a tremendous amount of power, from the bottom.
-
Gt is a finesseful powerhouse, very powerful skating but loose, the approach doesn't suggest the power that is about to be unleashed
-
Watch out for Will Marshall.
-
BA also he is probably Best powerbottom
-
Tyshawn?
also Reese Forbes
-
Wouldn’t want to run into Stu Graham.
Nick Boserio is always in beast mode.
Casper Brooker Got that stocky steez.
-

100%

Robert Lopez Mont

Not really a fan but Zion Wright for sure

Agreed.

Honestly lets be real Nyjah is a monster

Mitochondria

Ishod when healthy
-
Gershon and Frazier
-
BA
coincidentally also best power bottom
-
Why have I not seen Grants name in here yet? Boserio and Kanfoush are top picks as well.

Mitochondria

I love Nik Stain’s skating, but I don’t recall him having outstanding pop—speed and style for sure, but you need all three to qualify as a powerhouse. I would argue that having a huge ollie is the defining characteristic. I would love to be corrected though.
Donger is the most mellow powerhouse roaming this planet. Definitely not the fastest, but certainly most pop.
-
I think Natas deserves a mention. Not the most pop by today's standards but at the time he was definitely a powerhouse.
-
Natas. Original powerhouse and he did it with style.
-

-
the way Peter Hewitt attacks a FS grind I would definitely consider him a powerhouse.
-
Cyrus Bennett and Caleb Barnett both deserve mentions for best current powerhouses

Caleb? I don't see it. Being tall shouldn't automatically make you a 'powerhouse' he doesn't really skate with speed or strength. He's just very tall. I'm a fan as well.
-
gotta be cody cepada

I said it before and I hate to say it again. But Kelly Hart skates like a powerhouse.

correct answer is.....
T-FUNK!
