All the dudes that can jump well. Thing is, I've seen a few athletes TRY to skate: Kyrie Irving, Terell Owens, maybe some others? None have been particularly impressive...

Bo Knows Skateboarding
This. Get a skateboard under that guys feet and it’d be over for everyone. His vert wall game is already on point, he’d have guaranteed monster pop and he’d certainly never need the assistance of a motorcycle for extra speed.

I always thought Rodman probably could have skated well, and I’m not just saying that cuz of the Ishod costume. He’s a freak of an athlete and allegedly has immense understanding of the mechaninics behind the why and how a ball travels and reacts under different circumstances, he could apply all that shit to a board no problem yo

I have a buddy that was the captain on the Maple Leafs farm team before joining some European pro hockey league that is a really good tech skater. Does that count?

Nike has that Gino and John McEnroe collab 8 years ago that seemed to make sense somehow. Tennis players are perfectionists and seem to appreciate style

jr smith would probably have a great nosegrind but you'd have to catch him in a certain mood. plus if he played a game of skate he'd tie the other guys shoes together.

zach lavine and lebron james for highest ollies, that would be fun to watch.

joel embiid seems like he'd become one of those guys that rides for hopps and has a great instagram account. then he puts out a really great part and gets crazy shoe money from adidas.

i used to play hockey and skate with a guy by the name of gilbert brule. drafted sixth overall in the 2005 nhl draft.

he was the best at skating out of the bunch, and spent the least amount of time skating due to playing a fucked amount of hockey. he had to give it up when he got signed to a junior team, but he would've been incredibly good at skating today if he'd been able to continue doing it.

i fully back the theory that athleticism caries over very well into skateboarding.

Hahaha, that's crazy. Dude played way too reckless a style for his size at the NHL level. Great junior player though.

I heard the top prospect in this years NHL draft used to skateboard and can atleast kickflip.

That's because growing up skating, you're bound to have at least 2 friends who look like Steve Nash. Hell, Steve Nash also kinda looks like a guy who'd fall asleep on your couch smoking a cigarette. You meet a lot of people like that through skateboarding.

I think at some point a high center of gravity and a lot of weight/muscle becomes more of a hindrance than help so I generally don't thing most freak of nature type athletes would do well.

I could see soccer/tennis players and gymnasts having abilities that transition better.

He actually skates, though. I've seen multiple videos of him skating, plus an interview about it. Not sure if he can do that many tricks, but he cruises on an actual skateboard at least.
