I’d say so. Crisis actors or what have you, there’s nothing really to hate on trick wise, clothing, spots, personal life etc.

I worded it in a way for someone to throw shade, but i really mean that i cant see any reason to fault him. Dude has done right in every metric?

In every skate aspect yes. But to put on your story that a lady being interviewed is a crisis actor means outside of skateboarding his cognitive abilities are very very low.

A few years ago in one of his many instagram q and a's I asked about the crisis actor post that he shared to his story and he answered it publicly (as well as dming me) saying at the time he saw the story being reposted a bunch and thought it was "mildly interesting" and after looking into it he realised it was bullshit and deleted it.
Seems like a solid guy from the back n forth we had and he acknowledged how stupid it was to spread misinformation. He's been asked the question a few times on instagram and apologises but nobody seems to remember that part.

Yo I thought I noticed he was wearing big bois in one line. Pretty hilarious. His own signature pants aren’t cool enough for him so he wears Polar pants in his clothing sponsor’s full length LOL. Still love his skating tho

He died?? SHIT. That sucks. I always liked seeing him rock the shorts skateboarding, leg in full view. RIP.

Anyway, Cromer rips. Nice pip, great flick, seems mellow.

He skates pretty well, but looks like he breathes through his mouth. Hard to focus when he's being strobeck'd.

The blue tag on the black big bois is a dead giveaway, especially in a fisheye line filmed in hd. He gets a pass tho cuz I love his skating. Just a funny observation.

He does have an exceptional frontside flip:

In "Forever" Brad Cromer's line at 14:34 has perhaps the most effortlessly beautiful heelflip bigspin in the known universe.
I think it's up there with Mike Carroll's in regards to grace.

He’s been unhateable ever since he skated to “This Must Be The Place” but I always thought it was funny he shot a HUF ad in a pair of Butter Goods with the logo ripped off.

I remember this. I do remember being bummed for him falling for it since I'm a big fan of his but was stoked when I saw how soon after he deleted it and later apologized for it.

I saw his original bullshit post, but did not know he acknowledged it.  I wasn't a fan after that bullshit, but now my opinion has evolved. 

Good to know and thanks for the info.

That big heel was so insane. Most people just fling that trick in one motion and hope for the best. his had a pop shuv, lightly extended heel scrape catch and rotate all off of a curb cut if Im remembering correctly.

The only thing against him is being a Florida dude, so he's destined to have some dumb beliefs aka the crisis actor bullshit.  But if he can keep his dick out of the corpse of right wing conspiracies, then godspeed to the talented lad.

For everyone saying he has clips wearing non Huf/signature jeans in clips. He is just a pants aficionado, I have bought a few pairs of pants from him via Depop/IG. I dm'd him around the time his jeans dropped and he gave me all the dimensions and didn't seem annoyed about it.

He has also worn countless pairs of vintage silvertabs the whole time he has ridden for Huf.

I think he just really likes pants.

Well, I also imagined his Forever part contains footage pre-Cromer pant, no? Wouldn't it be possible to wear another brand, like Polar, to see what you like about them, as you try to make your own signature fit?

Cromer fan over here since his first Krooked part as that rules. Will say I’m a tad upset he went full on New York as far as a look as I like his his 1st signature shoe on Huf/Krooked LSD look. Went to NYC & just triple sized up on everything & got into reselling vintage stuff.
