Impossible to answer.

I think Creager is the one that influenced me the most, though. He made me try and work on really smooth but more technical flat ground tricks, taught me no comply finger flips, and I copped that Nobody CD after that video came out cause his track was so bangin. Definitely a super short, but oh so sweet part. His skating felt the most relatable to me even though that was in the height of rail chomping/hammers-era skating, which I was gladly taking part in. His stuff also feels pretty timeless since it's mostly really well done low impact skating.

Penny had me in pure mystical awe. That line in the Clockers made me realize you don't have to pop switch flips to make them looks dope.
Koston was just pushing boundaries and destroying everything.
McCrank seemed so funny, well rounded, and just awesome to be around.
Arto blew my mind because he was only a year or two older than me when that came out.
Rodrigo came outta nowhere and just fucked everything up, so sick.
Not gonna like, VoV got the fast forward button a lot because I was young and didn't really give a shit about vert that much. I should go back and watch that now as an adult, Vov (and vert) kicks ass.

I watched this video so god damn much.

highly recommend a re-watch, i gave it the vert button for years but now that i understand it better it's so nuts. plus he does some wild street shit in there too


Just watched that for the first time. wow. Is there anyone else on earth who skates vert switch like Bob does

Op, you ok man? Being real here, you doin alright?

Favourite part was Creager,
He was a really influential skater at the time, really stood out in Round 2 withn the switch hardlfips in the rain.
He doesnt really get mentioned much these days but his noseblunt and tailslide tricks were ground breaking at the time, and as already mentioned a really smooth style.
Switch hardflip lateflip over tampa pyramid 411 opener, sounds kind of lame now but i remember being blown away by it.

i was blown away at the time with his contest nollie hardflip to drop in the shortys hardware video, the first video I ever watched.   the next video was Round 1, so my Creager love was getting nice and cemented in that first weekend I picked up a skateboard

I rewound Creager's part sooooooo many times. Every trick in there is smooth and stylish. Still holds up perfectly to this day

What the hell is up with Creager?  I mean, I know he does that board company, but does anyone know what really happened between him and Dwindle and why the hell didnt he pick up a legit sponsor?

...no one says Rodrigo

I always dug the ending/fuck around section, but mostly Arto's part.

Loved that part. Possibly more than Arto's (depending on the day). Koston's is still my favorite. Sushi Boy was dope too.

awesome!  would not have guessed Koston had the second least amount of tricks.  Trying to think what the guest tricks were...maybe in Bob's part and goof around part?

The whole video was amazing, but I'd personally go with Koston and Arto. Picking the best part in a video this heavy is near impossible, especially when it has 3 of my favorite skaters at their peak in Koston, Arto and McCrank.

A long time ago while he was still riding for Blind, he told Bill Weiss he wanted to eventually do his own brand. Weiss said he was down to back it at the time. When Ronnie finally decided to start his own thing, Weiss wasn't with it. Since then he doesn't really fuck with Dwindle.....besides Cliff of course.

Skating has changed so much from then. Not a surprise seeing hardly any smith or feebles but still sort of surprised.

Creager had the dope part. I actually thought he had way less tricks than just 30. That was my first video that seemed to be so hyped. I watched it like crazy until Yeah Right came out.
