The random shop owners in random citys that sponsor kids and build parks and organize contests for the locals,while earning the minimum wage .

And also Soulja Boy Tell 'Em for making skateboarding themed musical masterpieces for all of us skaters to enjoy.

Gonz, Natas, Guerrero, Rodney. New ideas are priceless. What's the point of a scene, a diy spot, or a park without something to actually do on a skateboard?

In terms of individual cities, Steve Rodriguez seems like hes the man, despite the OIAM fiasco.

This thread is gay. Mullen is the godfather of modern day street skating & Tony Hawk was the first to reach modern day mainstream popularity though the sport. Obviously there's a bajillion others who have dedicated their lives to this shit & were game changers, but I feel like Hawk & Mullen are the most prominent. Still, it's lame to make it a "who did more?" thing.


But if y'all wanted my actual answer then it'd hands down be DaSk8D00D from early to mid 2012.

That guy is a knob.

I think like with most of the worlds geniuses, he was just misunderstood & ahead of his time. Like Steve jobs, he was hard to work with & overly passionate to a fault at times, but his impact was undeniable. A dent in the universe indeed.
