i see your point..granted the dudes i named that deserve a shoe are legends but that doesn't mean i don't think newer skaters don't deserve shoes
rodrigo
pj
ave
p-rod
jereme rogers
mark appleyard
bastien (even though he quit)
those dudes blew minds at an amateur level and are well deserving of everything they get as pros...they continue to just push it and everyone knows them, everyone has some kind of interest in what happens to them
smith, selego, taylor, etc.... they rip, i really like selego and taylor too...they're just not on pro shoe level
(i'm kinda basing my opinion also on what happens in the more professional sports world; basketball, football, soccer; and they don't just give shoes to anybody they're either the best of they stand out)
and about kirchart....i forgot about him...i was mostly thinking along the lines of spanky, herman, and romero (who i really like...except romero) kirchart is on another level...sorry
