Who can we mention here?
Tom Penny, Andrew Reynolds and Jereme Rogers. There, I said it.
Now you argue, or find some new names
-
How did their styles get worse? They just wear different clothes...
-
agree on jereme rogers.
-
Well, not because of their style of course, but I must say that their new "clothing" doesn't exactly help. If you look at Tom Penny from the ss fs flip carlsbad/ss flip over handrail/tsa days, and look at him now, I would definetly say he's showing more sketchyness. I mean, he's showing more variety in his trick selection, but things just look sketchy, and his hat, shoes and his clothes seem to contain a sketchyness that Penny didn't use to have. Don't get me wrong, he lands most of his stuff clean, but still, it isn't like watching the good old Penny.
And then we have Reynolds. He was so more enjoyable to watch in the past. Like the Birdhouse/beginning of baker/feedback days. Just look at his fs 5-0 down that rail in all black, or his fs flip the trippelset in "The End" or his kickflip down that big 5 in Feeback, then look at his 50-50 in Baker 3 "On top of that yellow rail" and his ss pushing with arms all up in the air etc, etc. And like I said, I liked him better when he was a little baggier, seemed to have somewhat of a smoother style then.
So Penny: lose the cursed hat, big shoes, baggy pants and sweaters and rather pick up some of the old clothes.
And Reynolds: Start pushing like you used to, and do tricks the way you did them before, with that extra bit of style thrown into it.
Feel free to disagree, seeing how this is only my opinion
-
Andrew Reynolds
just as good as ever
-
I'm not sayng he isn't as good, or even better now, that's not the point of this thread. But if you mean that he skate just as smooth now as then, or smoother, then that's your opinion
-
reynolds is amazing, my favorite
but I totally see your point
anyhow he can do whatever he wants and I can't wait to see new footage of him
people change but he's still the same in my eyes
rogers isn't little kid anymore and actually he's style got worse when he grew up
penny is penny.
I guess there has been a thread like this before..?
and I guess a lot people mentioned James Graig after his What If part...I guess noone will say his name anymore in here now that his Get Familiar part is here to stay...
-
i d say reynolds skill level just got out of control. he s not even human in my eyes- more like a cat or some other catlike animal. it s crazy.
i agree that bagier pants and clothes may help a little. but if you like his skating or not, he s a veteran and it shows; something i admire a lot, because he s still pushing it even though he s in a position where he could take it easy.
when his switch pushing may look a bit out of control, think about the fact that he s hitting something big; considering that his pushing is just fine.
penny has a different style nowadays. he got older and gone through a lot, so his body may not feel as good as it used to. if they left out a few tricks in his really sorry section, people probably wouldn t complain that much, cause the majority of his shit is butters.
his clothing is a different story. i can t get over it and continue to hope a change for the better will come some day.
i still like all of the people i m about to mention, but still in my opinion jamie thomas style got worse though, also kostons and carrolls, freddy galls, jereme rogers as mentioned above, kerry getz, duffy s (how is he these days after his leg thing- hope he s doing better), maldonado, rune (it s pretty on and off though), lopez, evan hernandez, burnquist, im not too sure about tnt, huf and a few other s that don t come to mind.
-
People and tastes change. It would be rather disturbing if you were exactly like you were 10 years ago. And for all those guys, it's been 10 years of growing up. You are guaranteed to be quite a different person at 30 than you were at 20 years old.

true. but for some it works in one direction, for some in the other. i guess injuries are a key factor- once you have problems with your body that don t go away anymore change has come...
-
james craig redeemed himself in Get Familiar, that part was sick.
-
Reynolds style didnt get worse hes jus doing bigger stuff which is harder..Jereme rodgers is the obvious one you're right.. id say maybe ethan fowler had nicer style in older stuff...still really good though
-
quim caradona
-
quim caradona
?
never heard of him
-
cardona
-
I actually think Reynolds' style has gotten better.
-
.. id say maybe ethan fowler had nicer style in older stuff...still really good though
I dont know that recent ruca ad was incredible
-
The stalefish one at those brick banks? Zeppelin shirt and the moustache. One of the best ads ever.
-
Yeh thats true, i meant its worse in thats life than say art bars..that ad is amazin i'd forgotten that
-
quim caradona
agreed 500 percent
-
i think fred gall's style was much better before. i really dont like the hand thing he's got going.
-
matt field
how does style get worse? then it must be bad from the start. that award goes to pete gardini & ian reid.
-
I love to watch creager's stuff from round 2 to his menikmati part, don't know why. His style is still awesome but maybe it's just those clothes he wears (blue jeans, white shirt and a baseballcap)
-
farger's the bitch at the spot that always mentions what the other's are wearing. if skateboarding is an individual activity, worry about yourself. gear critics need to get the fuck out of skateboarding.
-
uh
ethan fowler
-
fred gall i always liked his style then the ipath promo came and it was god awful
-
So Penny: lose the cursed hat, big shoes, baggy pants and sweaters and rather pick up some of the old clothes.
so, basically you dont like his clothes, and that's about it.

RONSON LAMBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
his style was decent in DNA part
gorilla your retarted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
how hasnt anyone said wade des ormeaux or (des armo)?? his style back in the day was amazing (bse, and push record) he was once the sickest skater until he started wearing ridiculous clothes and faking his stee a bit.
-
Damian: Haha, Didn't realize I offended one of your favourites. The point is, maybe if he changed back to something less baggy, people would actually see some of his style, instead of a bunch of clothes floppin around. And I don't care if he'll wear a pair of jeans, cords or whatever. Just as long as you can see whats happening. I'm not afraid to admit that I think his skating looked cooler in the past. He looked more in control. But I will admit, that hat or whatever you're gonna call it is ugly, and bugs the hell out of me.
-
i dont get why everyone hates ronson lambert. i mean yeah, he has bad style on a lot of tricks, but some of them are ok, and he does shit thats actually original and thats what skating needs now anyway.
-
I dont know if anyone else has noticed but in his more recent coverage John Cardials style seems to have gotten worse i

Get the fuck out of here, fake account. You don't even know what STYLE is. You're sitting here talking about clothes and shit the entire fucking time. And when you have to pull a rabbit out of your hat you mention something like Reynold's switch PUSH? Skating style is how you skate, not what clothes you dress in. Maybe you should have said "Skaters whose clothing style got worse", then you would have gotten more answers and less chasitizing.
I think you're missing your show on E! network.

I agree that jeremy rogers style got worse but Penny was the shit but he's style seems so effortless and reynolds is just a lil bitch

Jim Greco isn't much fun to watch anymore. Tony Trijillo seems like his style got worse, or he's just a little more boring.

Red Curb: So you say that the way you push doesn't have anything to do with your style? If a person does flawless tricks, but pushes like a monkey, doesn't this affect his overall style?

this is to everyone talking shit about peoples clothing:
going to art school, the only people who seriously critique peoples wardrobe are fashion design majors.
70% are women and 30% are gay men.
basically people who seriously analyze peoples clothing are bitches and fags.
which one are ya'll?

I'd say Greco and Paul Rodriguez.Not that Paul's got worse nesessarily, but it definitly used to be more fun to watch.
-
Tony Trijillo seems like his style got worse, or he's just a little more boring.
really? i never really dug tnt until recently. i liked the fact that he was one of the younger dudes skating tranny while all the other kids those days were skating the same things, you know, 2000-2003 era. i always disliked just how he pushed around a park, he always felt the need to bend down so incredibly low. it almost looked like he was trying too hard to be hesh or whatever. he has footage in the anti hero section of shotgun, and he looks a lot more comftorable on his board, has some new tricks it seems like (kickflip noseslide on some sick transition, wuuut), and he is more fun to watch now. compare it to his part in the new zealand article in the same video, he has some really weird looking tricks in that. i'm finally into tony's style now.
and i'm glad he cut his fucking hair, atm needs to as well, hahaha
-
yeah prod, i liked the little kid stee, i still watch his inbloom part like everyday sooo good!
-
2000-2003 era.
WHAT AN 'ERA' IT WAS.

I can't stand lost and found minus chewy cannons part.
also nice way to try joining the hate bandwagon but i've been skating since i was about 6, and im about 7 now

Red Curb: So you say that the way you push doesn't have anything to do with your style? If a person does flawless tricks, but pushes like a monkey, doesn't this affect his overall style?
So what do you think about Stevie, Koston, Gillet, or Jesus Fernandez and their mongo pushes?
Switch push is like the least relevant part of your style. You can push switch however you want, because nobody really gives a shit. I guess it's regarded as icing on the cake for a lot of people. It's nice to see a good switch push, but still nobody really gives a shit so it's not necessary.
Oh yeah, he's ALWAYS pushed switch that way. His style is not squeaky clean, but those of us who like his style like it because it's his own. Respect that, ho.
-
I cant think of anyone. EE has good style though
-
Short version: Still think Reynolds push has become worst and more arms flapping about. Don't like the fact that people who has been skating for so long has to push mongo switch. Don't like Stevie Willams. That's all, I suppose.
Long version: To be honest, I don't care for Stevie at all. Those others I like, but I also like their skating style, well, Koston and Gillets style that is. Fernandez I haven't been a fan of, but after seeing that line with the bs 360 kickflip, I'm looking forward to his next part for sure. But to answer your question, the topic is: whose style has gotten worse, and used that as an example, cause I do believe pushing has somewhat to say. And I realise this is switch, but people give Leo Romero shit for his switch pushing, so there shouldn't be any problem with me stating the same thing about a different skater, right? The point is, Koston and Gillets style hasen't gotten worse in my eyes, and therefore, I didn't mention them. Maybe their name would have come up in a "Ugly switch pushing" thread, but I couldn't really say. I will admit that Gillets ss pushing is kind of funky looking at for sure, but he kinda looks in controll. I wish people who skated 15+ years could learn themselves how to push good switch, but you can't get the cake and eat it to. Koston looks better though.

jb pushes funky? Wow!!!
Like I said, the mags created a monster. You guys worry too much about every little detail.
On the real, who cares if someones finger is curled up when they skate or how long their laces are?
Sounds like some gay shit to me. If you want robots, start cloning. Bet you'll be sorry you did that.
-
i vote that anyone skating for 15+ years gets a pass on pushing switch mongo...
(crosses fingers...)
-
I sold out and am messing with the reg push when skating switch. I'm not that comfortable with it yet.
-
Hehe, funky, as in wierd, but not sketchy nor exactly smooth. Just funky.
I'm not into the whole robot styles either. Some of the styles/skaters I like: Dylan Rieder, Puig, Hsu, Syvanen, David Gonzales, Mariano, Koston, Rowley, Apples, Arto, Palmquist, Trapasso. Just so you guys get a sense of who I like, and feel free to diss.

he looks like pooky from new jack city and the crack head im looking at outside my window thats shaking and searching for nothing at all in between the crakkks of the sidewalk while he waits for the liqou stoe to open up had a baby and made it skateboard
stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooops
sw biggie sw blunts on handrails are a far cry from goldfish
lets leave frost out of this one
-
not saying he's gotten any worse...watch the parts....
-
Imagine if you were Koston... He's 30+ now and outdoing himself will only get harder and harder.
He's the g.o.a.t. next to Mariano in my opinion.
He can skate like Nate Sherwood and I won't change my opinion.

Most of you have no glue what you are talking about.
People who read Vogue magazines mix up Style
with Styling- and most of you with stylish or personal
flavor- but this doesnt mean style in general.
Style is something you dont need to discuss- you feel
it if you meet the person in real life. Its about your presence,
your bodylanguage and your mind setting. Any good dancer, fighter,
Actor, Painter will recognize a good style.
You can give any bitch on the street a good styling, maybe you
have s stylish kickflip, you can take a kid from the next skatepark
and shoot a stylish picture- but this have nothing to do with your
style in general.
Kosten for example one of the most talented skaters ever - he have
done outstanding things on the skateboard - and some with a great style,
but as a person in general - if you see him grocery shopping, at the bar,
chilling at the Golfclub he have no style.
Peoples style change - Hosoi was a stylegod - even on drugs in the 90s he was
style wise untouchable- but after jail his style changed - he is still good on the board,
but he is not the stylegod anymore he was back in the day...
Other people like Pat Ngoho had a good style as a kid - but with getting older he develop his style.
To come back to Cardiel he will come in on a wheelchair with more style then most of us ever.

The man has jumped stair sets long enough and stylishly enough to be allowed to slow down. Plus, now he's doing tech shit that is cool.

Cody Mac tops the list for me, but I suppose it's his appearance more than his actual skating.
-
Torey Pudwill. His style in SkateMore was really cool. Then it just got weird or something.
Maybe it's just before he started doing all those horrendous lipslide tricks.

skaters get super critical that their fav pros don't skate exactly how they used (Penny haters are notorious for this) but who cares? If Guy is still out there ripping in 2017 and having fun I really don't care if he doesn't look like Mouse era Mariano; dudes first part came out in 1991 FFS! As with Hsu up there too, I don't think we are really taking into account the effects of age and injuries that these guys/ gals go through.

Guy style got worse, but he also started having an atrocious trick selection. His skating lost its smooth flow, partially due to doing a bunch of really ugly ledge combos. A bunch of old guys still look really good on their board when they grace us with footage like Gino, Carroll, Howard, Koston, MJ, Daewon and Ave. I don't think Jerry's style has gotten worse at all though.

Each part after suffer the joy he seemed more stiff and almost trying harder and harder to emulate what he had going on in the suffer the joy days.

I don't think anyone will deny that BUT you gotta give him credit for being able to pull off a plethora of NBDs at his age. The only other person that has done this (AND kept his OG style) is Daewon ... but Daewon is a fucking Jedi when it comes to skating.

MJ is only a year younger but hasn't been around as long as Guy and Daewon but his Pretty Sweet part had NBD's in it and all of it was down quite clean and with good style. But, in general, the point holds. Guy became way more about having crazy flip in or flip out stuff like the smith grind lazer out, which needed to be counteracted with some smooth and casual lines.

Agreed. I certainly appreciate his skill, no doubt about it. But the trick selection got really odd and well he just doesn't look that comfy anymore.
All good though, guy is a legend no doubt!

his knees being messed up would make a lot of sense
the line he does @1:12 contrasts so heavily with the rest of his footage (especially the line @2:42)

More like they took a hiatus and kind of lost a few things, not so much style got worse. A good example would be Bastien.
And most of the guys mentioned are old, Andrew Reynolds for example. Hard to knock his style when he's still doing what he's doing at his age.

I totally understand what people are saying about Guy, his trick selection and how it looks. Kinda reminds of Danny Way - young D. Way footage was amazing. But when you get into the mindset where people are putting you on this pedestal of being the best of the best, you tend to think you need to keep your tricks or whatever, NBDs or shit like that (same with Guy) and start building ramps and jumping Great Walls and shit that no one else will ever be able to do. And obviously, it comes across as somewhat forced, and therefore not as stylish. But then there's dudes like MJ or Reynolds, that don't have to do the most mind boggling trick or combo, but still look damn good doing what they do.

yeah, but that's kind of a given because previously I can't actually remember anything about his style.
unpopular opinion: I never gave two shits about ave when he was in his wigger phase

I was pretty detached from skateboarding for, say, oh, the last 10 years, but when was the Wigger stage? Pre-Photosynthesis? I mean that goes back to 2000...

Amazed at the amount retards naming pros +35 years old.
Dudes that have all been jumping down stair sets for over 2 decades but get bashed for it pretty much. Not sure if this is all some elaborate joke that I'm missing out on or what.
We gonna call out Boulala or Dollin next? Just curious.

Question was skaters whose style got worse, not skaters under 35 whose style got worse.

I know some people said Hsu but he does skate switch a lot and think that attributes a little to the stiffness he's developed over the years.

Understood. Naming veteran pros just seems dumb though.

He probably means late 90's when he rode for 23. He was still awesome back then though, so I would say that it's that crazy.
You know who took a really deep plunge style-wise? Lavar Mc Bride.
Look at all of his early world parts up to his Round 2 Deca part, and you can see the progression of his style mature. Then compare that to anything he put out under Affiliate Skateboards and later, and it's like you're watching an entirely different person. Like come on, he was so good!

Felipe Gustavo. Digital part was solid, everything later seemed forced.
