Hmm, I was always of the impression that he was pro for enjoi back in the mid 00's. Him not being pro seems quite reasonable to be honest. After Bag of Suck, he didn't have much output and sort of disappeared. Didn't they even make a joke about that in Oververt?

Rob Pluhowski was the first name that popped into my head when seeing this thread. Frankie Heck also comes to mind.

Yes, all of these guys were pro. I was reading the list as sarcasm, unless there are very specific and intermittent memory gaps here.




Dang, my bad then. Did not pick up on the sarcasm.

Rest easy my friends…



Very nice, I like Western Edition a lot and their graphics are always dope. Not sure I didn’t know or remember Igei having boards with them

 No sarcasm, I'm stupid and too lazy to look anything up.
 Put 'em in the most underrated skaters thread I guess.

Toan actually did turn pro for shorty's. I think shorty's was doing pretty well until about 05. The only graphic I remember was a cereal parody "me so horny-ohs" probably something that wouldn't come out today

Fair enough. I didn’t mind the sarcasm either way.

Too many corrections, don’t know where to start. Gotta respect the dudes who bowed out instead of going pro for a lesser company.      My buddy did that, i tripped out at the time but respect that decision now.

anyone ever watch that netflix show on anthony’s mom? guess she was a big drug dealer but towards the end of it they interview anthony and he said he made his first million off of skating by 21, it was pretty insane

I back the McClouth and Heck shoutouts. I will also add Tony Silva because he was a Riverside local and he ripped.
