same can be said for raven really.  but yeh, ishod is only am because they feel weird making him pro this early.. but we all know he deserved to go pro instantly after that fucking part..  c'mon Jim, lets get them ishod decks out before christmas!!!!

Ishod no question, then elijah.  I like crockett too.

It's all good, but i'm not real blown away by the dudes who are part of the new tranny trend.  most of that stuff looks like mild warm up for actual vert skaters (sans pads.)  i mean there's that 14 year old kid doing 900's on the mega for goodness sakes.  now if grant, and raven, and whoever started throwing in some proper flip tricks (tre's, hardflips, cab flips, kf bs bluntslides and whatnot) then maybe i could see the tranny trend as more than the skateworld just needing a change of scenery.

i mean even the guy who mentioned ben raybourn corrected himself with the ishod nod. can we just make the kid pro already? when did Since Day One come out? i know they are sitting on some unreleased ishod footy that was supposed to be included with the DVD..  lets see it. the masses have spoken and we want ishod pro
Title: Re: 2011 best am?
Post by: scorpion1001 on November 14, 2011, 10:19:36 PM
my pick's always going to be gilbert crockett until he turns pro - especially since im sure that motherfucker brought about an onslaught in KOTR.

i think ishod is dope as fuck but i'd wanna see davis and jake get boards first

seen Ishod skate a few times over the years...consistent as fuck, trick selection of a skater at that level, he should def be pro...seems like that sw down the love gap photo a while back set everything off after woodward...amazing

Well, I saw him skate Phoenix am a few years ago, and while everyone else was getting heat pukes after minute runs, Ishod skated every practice and warm-up and in-between each run doing better tricks than most everyone else was doing in their runs/heats.  Vincent Alvarez did the same, but he's pro now, so my vote is with Ishod.

Well I would say Wes was def the best Am of 2011 until he turned pro but my next pick would be Davis Torgerson. His line at the ATLAS ledges In since day one is the best thing I've seen all this year.
