Which era would you like to try to go pro in?

[dr.prestige]

I'd go back to when they were filming Skater Dater and bust a tre flip in that bitch's face

[Dr-Feelgood]

90's for sure, if you played your cards right and were smart about your moves

[jack burton]

Don’t really care about being pro but I always wished that I was around for the glory days of love park. Being able to skate the whole city with oyola and Freddy.

[Makaveli]

I'd've been a good street pro in like 93. But would've had more fun in 2004.

80’s. I still skate 10” and shaped stuff. I love all the history, heritage, and watching how boards changed through the decade. Duane Peters, Hosoi, Hawk, Gator ect.

Would do anything to be born a couple decades earlier.

early 90s curb years would be a cakewalk.

[Tear Up a Trick]

Probably the 1860s so I could use my board to deflect that bullet from hitting Lincoln. 

[NauseousPimp1983]

2004-2006 so I could gel spike my hair and skate to King of Yesterday by Jude unironically and no one would make fun of me. Also there was somehow 3,000 skate clothing brands to pick up easy money from

1997 for Girl

[SneakySecrets]

Could only ever be the big pants era when it was perfectly acceptable to come to a full and complete stop after a slide/grind and a kickflip skittering along the ground was a good mid-line trick.

[JamesFardy]

This question is so damn easy. 1987, I’d go to Steve Cabalerros house and see him try a fakie 360, id do it first tho and say that trick is called an “andy” and if you only do a fakie 180 it’s called an “an” I’d immediately tell him I’m the new Cab And he can get lost or he can buy the trick off of me  (or turn me mega pro) and rename it.

[Tear Up a Trick]

And then Steve would say, "Why didn't you come in 1980, 7 years ago, when I invented the Caballerial?"

And then Fred Gall would show up.

[Swithflip]

Mid 90s.

Im trying making a part nowadays. But jump stairs and gaps is pretty hard to me in mid 30s. I have nice lines but any gap clip yet.

Ok I’d go back to 1980 badda bing badda boom. I’d shake Fred galls hand for sure. That alone would help my chances.

[Lenny the Fatface]

The early 2000s because that seems like the only era where a lot of pros were paid well (and paid the appropriate amount in my opinion).

Maybe anytime from 2014 until now because it seems like there's probably the most flexibility. Not as many trips, you don't have to move to LA, you can film whatever the fuck you want, and Dime Glory Challenge and Tampa Pro are the only contests people care about.

[Willie]

With my actual skills? Ohio Freakout/Savanna Slamma era.


If I were legitimately good? Early 2000s. Yes Osiris, I shall take this yellow cyber potato as my shoe in exchange for 5% of the profits.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

The tiny wheel, pressure flip era where everyone went super slow and skated flat. I'm being serious.

Spending a day doing noseslide to crooked to noseslide to crooked grinds on a 18” red curb followed by a triple kickflip while barely rolling only to come home to a box of oversized gear sounds good to me.

In the early 90's so that I would be considered a legend and ground breaking for my willy grinds down 10 stair rails.

[close]

if you have a clip, i'd actually like to see this tbh

PM'd it to you cuz it's pretty embarrassing. Feast your eyes on 3 willy grinds, a crook bs lip, and a crook bs smith. I still do willy grinds down rails to this day as warm ups. Tried it down Hollywood high years ago but snapped my board. Learned them down a 7 rail after I saw jon Allie do one in new blood.

[Sila]

The era when you could make some decent money from multiple sponsors. 98-2004 maybe?

[Brguy]

Since today is an option, would you use the magic to get good at skating or simply use the skills you already have to become pro in times everything was less insane?
