Having skated with Matt a lot and watching him do stuff "goofing around" that in reality is stuff harder than most people can do on a good day, I am going with Matt. I haven't seen him in years, but skating with him was so fun and he was very cool to hang with as well.... Never met Lenny but his persona is not my cup o' tea.

Bizarre one to throw out but Matt Beach hands down. One of the most underrated slept on pros from back in the day. Lennie Kirk though if I needed a partner to rob a bank or expel some demons.

I suppose that was a random one to ask. I mentally place them in the category of really good skaters from that time period who don’t really do interviews and I just wish I had gotten to see more from them.

Brian Anderson once said that the nicest thing he ever saw Matt Beach do was help an old woman cross the street





On the other side of the coin, Lennie Kirk once robbed an old lady in San Francisco then immediately asked God for forgiveness.


God told Lennie that it was ok

Now a days I base a lot of my answers to "who would you pick" on the one that would give me a better conversation.  So you know who I'm picking.

Matt Beach cause Lennie had disappeared right before I got into skating and Matt’s right foot forward part came out when I was in high school and I didn’t understand how I never heard of the dude before and then he disappeared again. Love Matt Beach.

Like most in here, I’d also rather go to the Beach than to the Kirk.

Lame comparison.  Matt Beach came up with Reynolds and was the better one out of the two. Lennie was way later and different vibe entirely.  Matt Beach should be on Reynolds’ level, to be completely honest.

Well the connection is that they are both christians and known for mentally illness, but in very different ways.

That's a hot take if I ever heard one. I don't agree, but I do like Matt Beach. Was always stoked on his old birdhouse part.

Fun Len related factoid: the name Kirk is derived from Germanic languages & is specifically the Scottish word for CHURCH.
Make of that what you will.

Matt Beach! because he was way more talented and had a great style. I think people have to stop pretending that Lennie Kirk was sick and that his sketchy style was cool. Get off the bandwagon, and be honest with yourself, Lennie was never dope. nope.

The last thing I saw of Beach was some incredible wooden bowl footage. Maybe from Nike.  I'd watch that again.
