Post by: Mean salto on November 04, 2023, 09:09:07 PM: Well how can you measure? Inches of pop then some scale where you minus more inches for younger than older?

I think Brophy is 40 and can still get up there. Reynolds bit older can still jump.
Kevin Taylor even older and Ron Allen older again but not as much pop as Reynolds.

Post by: Ok on November 04, 2023, 10:56:03 PM: good shouts.
i was thinking less quantifiable, and more just when you know you know. i guess?
brophy, reynolds, kt, all tall: so they can just suck the legs up, i reckon. mmmm, sounds like i’m taking away from their strengths, that’s not what i was trying to get at.
ron allen is not tall.

thanks for suggestions!

Obvious bias as a tall guy and I've already talked about this is too many threads lol but I don't think points taken off for being tall should be a thing. An Ollie is not the same thing as a regular jump so being tall isn't always an advantage. Then especially not when we're also talking about being old as tall usually also means heavier and being tall puts way more strain on the body over the years.

I think Jimmy lannon might also be 40 and can still get over stuff.

my title is way too clickbait. could have said: older skaters with pop.

interesting to think that ellington still has that ups. he’s an alltimer.

ron is a goal, with his longevity

no fucking way.
i need to look that up. tennis net is 36” and that’s the bar, imo, of a ‘high ollie’

Post by: sharkjumper on November 16, 2023, 12:31:27 PM: Busenitz in that arrow and beast video does a very tall ollie. And he’s 41 I think.
Title: Re: oldest skater with the most pop
Post by: Ok on November 18, 2023, 07:41:08 AM: that was a very tall ollie. legitimate pop in the street

Title: Re: oldest skater with the most pop
Post by: Ok on December 11, 2023, 07:30:22 AM: yeah all of these have been good. i’m just looking to see dudes that can still get it up in their 40-50s, doesn’t have to be the utmost, biggest etc.
still popping.

the busenitz ollie was a perfect example.
Title: Re: oldest skater with the most pop
Post by: GumOnMyGrip on December 19, 2023, 06:29:13 PM: Quel Haddox is getting up there. Massive ollies.
Title: Re: oldest skater with the most pop
Post by: bartlaser on December 20, 2023, 05:20:15 AM: I'm going to say Quim Cardona. He definitely had some crazy pop in his prime and I'd like to think he can still get up there decently for being an older guy now.
