Auby Taylor comes to mind, although I don't know if it counts by SLAP standards since he doesn't seem to skate street anymore. He boosts now though.

Nah this is totally what SLAP is about, what skaters used to be able to do, not what is current. C'mon you're not that new.

Phil Shao (r.i.p.) Mike moldonado

Adding my vote for John Rattray. Someone else had him in a list. Like McCrank, he was one of the few people hitting big handrails, gaps, technical flip tricks, and REAL park heshing in one video part in the early/mid 2000's. Big inspiration to me, for sure. And a hell of a nice guy in person too, once you get past the initial Scottish unintentional terseness.

I’d have to agree. I always thought he seemed like one of the nicest guys and I’ve only heard good stuff when people bring him up. I know I could just google it, but doesn’t he have some kind of advanced degree? Or am I just making that up?

Most well rounded is a loaded question

That would include:
Gaps and handrails
Flat ground
Mini Ramps/transitions/parks
Vert
Pools/bowls
Ledges
Manuals
Creativity/innovation
* regular and switch
* flip in and out

Penny and Koston check all the boxes for me. Danny way too I think

Going by this I would add Rowley, minus vert though.

Natural transitions, but not flat kickers made by putting a board underneath a loose tile - grates only!!

He can skate transition. Idk about vert. I bet he could do some backside airs and shit on a smaller vert ramp.

ArtVandelay · « **Reply #71 on:** January 13, 2019, 01:57:23 AM »

Grant Taylor. No doubt about it - tranny gawd and street slayer. And he has one of the best styles skating has ever seen - some of those vert dogs that do street make it look so awkward and vice versa. Grant is untouchable but we all wanna touch him. He deserves to be paid to skateboard for eternity. Pay his children after he dies and their children. He’s that good.

mboy · « **Reply #72 on:** January 13, 2019, 03:07:57 AM »

Thought Kareem Campbell was very well rounded in his hay day,
Many people at the time probably did not know he killed it at vert as well as street for example!

not really "of all time", though.

Gonz and GT no question

Still haven't seen a single response that tops Danny way, keep trying though lol.

Remember they not only have to dab a bit in other sub genres of skateboarding but they have to have done better shit in every category than him to beat him out because as it stands now, he is the most well rounded goat

few even come close

It was cool when crankers and Rattray done that episode of umm...they were doing like preppers. On crankers other show and they skated the dusty full pipe and tried to invent a disaster trick but there’s already a disaster trick so I think they made a tsunami.

What?

I mean, Danny is the top brick.

At the risk of being kooked, Berra was a great vert skater before he skated street on a professional level.

GT, Ishod?

Have not gone through this whole thread but I hope someone mentioned Alphonso Rawls.

Currently its obviously Grant.

SpankerChief · « **Reply #82 on:** January 14, 2019, 10:00:55 AM »

Young bucks, Gravette, Wright, Wair, Taylor, Foy and few others that are escaping me. My age mid 40's... Rowely, Dollin, Maldanado, Reynolds, Olsen, Cardiel, Hewitt, Gerwer, old dude's Gonzalez, Mountain, Natas, Hawk.

Can Ishod do manuals?

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that he probably could balance himself on two wheels.

Bob Burnquist jumped out in my mind

Kinda funny how some here define well rounded. Reynolds and Daewon-not particularly well rounded.

hes had more than a couple of legit pool skating photos in magazies remember. He can do judo backside airs.

Merman · « **Reply #89 on:** January 14, 2019, 03:09:26 PM »

Pals, Bob Burnquist is literally the most well rounded skater, if you will please follow my literally circular logic.

Considering the many types of terrain and obstacles, Burnquist seems to be able to skate all of them at a high level: nose grinding kinked 9 stair handrails in Menikmati, half pipe beast, pushing the mega stuff further than Danny Way, switch tre flips off a kicker and over a trash can, and he' s the only that did the loop switch stance. Not only that, but this crazy fuck removed the top section and did it switch. Danny gonna rocket air back flip the mega? Well then Burnquist will front flip it.

Burnquist most well rounded. Danny a close second. Everybody else is miles away.
