Recently rewatched goldfish, Paco and mouse and do not get what the appeal of Craig in the 90s was. Watched 20 shot and trilogy too and also don't get what was meant to be good about world.
Guess I would of just been a dork back then (like I am now)

Anyway the answer is BA, MJ, Mccrank, Johnston and pappalardo

Rickk.  We do a lot of the same tricks.  He just does them better.  So many great guys over the decades.  Keenan, MC, McCrank, SJ, Jeron, Chico, (Pre weird) KA, Guy, MJ, Pre-Injury Mo, AO, Popps, I always have had a soft spot for Rudy, etc.  I remember when Crail was completely untouchable.  Some of the new guys are sick too. 
Title: Re: favourite Crail skater ever
Post by: lampshade on October 16, 2021, 06:41:06 AM
Guy, Carroll, pops, Stevie

That's a good list.  For some reason I always forget Crail-era Stevie.  I also tend to forget Crail-era P-Rod and J.Cassanova.

Rickk forever. When I was a dorky 13 year old kid in 1997 I wrote him a letter and he sent me one back answering all my dumbass kid questions. I still have it.
MJ is one of my favorites of all time so he is probably my favorite from Chocolate but always loved Keenan too.

Thing with AO is that his best shit was immediately after he left crail. Like when he was skating those Jason Lee shapes with Grace Jones’ face on them.

Might as well ask someone their favorite child. But, 90% of the time it's Carroll. But, catch me on a different day it could be Koston, MJ, CK1, Gino, Hsu, Guy, or Rickk. Then I feel bad leaving out BA, McCrank, Pops, Keenen, Olson, and Stevie Williams.

Edit: Forgot we included Lakai, add Lucas and Danny Brady to the first part. Then Welsh, Cairo, Nick Jensen, JB Gillet, Danny Garcia, to the next one. And, I'm probably forgetting like 5 people.

When Yeah Right came out, I was buddies with good skaters for the for the first time in and coming into my own a bit with my own skating (never got very good but I was getting comfortable and starting to get it a little more).

I had never heard of Robbie McKinley and that part was one of the first times I felt like I had the context and taste to understand how/why a dude who didn’t fit the early ‘00’s rai/stair/hubba mold was really fuckin’ good.

There was also a some attainable element to his skating that made it resonate with me.

Not sure if he’s my favorite, but that’s where my head went tonight when I read the topic.
