Gotta agree with Ishod, Louie Lopez and Kenny Anderson

Louie Barletta would get a pass if it wasn’t for enjoi’s “edginess” in their ads. Just stating that those were usually polarizing

I’ve skated with Wade D and can confirm he’s the nicest, most humble dude and goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcomed at the sesh. Such a good dude with the best style. Canada forever!

I’d like to add Chris Haslam to the discussion

I met Gilbert Crockett when I lived in Richmond, he was just hanging out at Venue one day when i went in to pick up a new deck. He was cool as hell, super nice about me fanning out for a sec and then we chatted about his shoe he helped design on vans (stage four I think it was called?) he showed me his samples he was wearing.

I also ran into Bobby Worrest at the Whole Foods near my apartment in DC and he was super nice too.
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

I think the only notable pro I've ever met is Duffman, and he was super friendly and genuine.

Kevin Kowalski has always appealed to me in the sense that he seems to be one of skateboarding's quieter and more reserved personalities. Some may interpret that as being boring but I just think he's a mellow guy who would be fun to skate with and doesn't feel the need to be some sort of hypeman. He also comes across pretty humble in interviews and seems super grateful that he is able to make a career out of it.

  Wade Desarmo,  I thought he would have a cool guy persona.  But the exact opposite.  He is aware of the gravity of his presence; always sure to give daps and say whats up.  Even though he don't know me.  Morgan Smith also has his vibe. 

  McCranker too he would pretend to get hyped when me and my friends did some shitty tricks [hard for us] in the old Anti Social mini.

  I wanna meet Karl Watson and skate some flat or mellow manny pad.  I guess he's not relevant as much these days.

 Manny Santiago is a little bit of a kook, but iv'e heard nice shit about him through the grape vine.  Like a dude you want at your bbq or to help you move or some shit.

 Rob Sluggo!!!!!!  I never really skated mother hastings much too buck for me.  But lived in the sunrise neighborhood and he would always say whats up.   Also his insta is on some live love laugh vibes, but I love it.

 Fuck Moses tho, just wanted to put that out there.   

 

Haha, the only time I met Moses he was a complete dick.

My homies gave Jaws a ride back from OKC and said he was the nicest dude. They lurk here sometimes so if you're reading this, chime in, but that's about as much detail as I know.

Karl Watson just seems like the nicest guy.

It's Kenny Anderson. No question. He looks like he fits in with pretty much everyone. On top of everything else, the way he handled that Tim O'Connor cleft lip thing was just top tier human - I can't say I would've handled it with such grace.

I can see why people would mention Louie Barletta, but I’ve always felt like he might have a hidden dark side.  He’s a businessman, he drinks a lot, I’m not trying to cancel the guy, but there must be more behind the scenes than the funny quirky persona he puts out there.

I also don’t trust any man with a goatee.
