Where on Earth breeds the best talent per capita?

[Flabby cold demeanor]

Determining the country that has produced the most professional skateboarders on a per capita basis is challenging because comprehensive statistics on professional skateboarders by nationality aren't readily available. Skateboarding is popular in many countries, and the number of professional skateboarders can vary greatly.

In the past, the United States has been a significant hub for professional skateboarders due to its large population and vibrant skateboarding culture. However, countries with smaller populations might have a higher per capita ratio of professional skateboarders. To get a precise answer, you would need access to specific data on the number of professional skateboarders by nationality, which is not widely documented

The asscrack of New England - nick dompierre, westgate, barley, zered, Sid abruzzi are all south of Boston. Get closer to Boston and you got PJ, Phelps, Robbie Gangemi, Jahaml Willliams, Matt Pailes, etc

Add Rudeboi Reed, Pupecki, BA, Wrentham "Premium" Outlet Rogers, Aquil "I Rode for Zoo York" Brathwaite, Old School Racist Jim Gagne and lest we forget Anthony "I Just Started Smoking Weed, Have you Tried This Stuff?" Shetler.

Gallant is from West of Boston too, Gallant is all time.

The correct answer is probably Japan, or at least it will be soon. Leave it to the Japanese to take something we created and do it better, what an amazingly proficient culture.

Don’t forget your Jim Greco’s and Alexis Sablone’s.

Greco and BA were both born in Connecticut, I believe.  Although I'm not sure what constitutes the entire Asscrack of New England. 

Boston/Greater Boston also has Brian Reid, Will Mazzari and I think Kevin Coakley Dana Erickson too.
Probably some of those Fancy Lad wizards as well.

Greater Boston population is just under 5 million.

I just assume New England is one giant asscrack. (As much as I love it here).

I’ve heard Ben Kadow is actually from one of the wealthier counties in CT, just outside NY.

All of New England under Massachusetts is ass-crack, I know, I live it everyday. If you want to get real technical, the Connecticut River and it's encompassing valleys constitute the most technical ass-crack of New England, as it runs down the center of the area.

The Greater Boston area is essentially south to Providence, north to Manchester/Nashua and west to Worcester, so it actually really does encompass a whole host of great skaters.

Connecticut is kind of like New England's redhead step-child that while technically ours, feels more like a suburb of the New York megalopolis. Like yeah, we have to claim them on our taxes but we really don't want them to live with us...

Rhode Island is just the shitty friend that you hang out with out of pity, even in spite of them being older and having some cool toys, you almost feel dirty hanging out with them.

completely off topic, but driving from NC to Vermont thursday. What’s the drive like past Maryland? Flat, hilly, any good places to stop, etc.

You just missed the annual Sasquatch Festival in Whitehall, NY.  Too bad.  They had some sick hair samples and footprint impressions.

Beautiful driving in upstate NY up to VT.
