Think of the dude who shows up at the park and falls trying to push around.

Also think of the dude who falls ollieing up the curb...but then after 10 minutes and being warmed up can take 25 tries to land a manual on the manual pad

Pretty much midway between Tim Jackson and Daniel Gesmer.

I have Torey Pudwill's arm style and none of his pop.

while actually skating the only thing i do that reminds me of any pro is that the best 5% of my regular kickflips look a little bit like AVE's switch flips

as far as fake steez goes, if i land anything bolts i freeze my lower body and let my top half just go a bit floopy and kind of act as if i've just had an attack of narcolepsy ala penny riding away from carlsbad. except instead of ssfs flipping a giant gap, it'll be a heelflip over a manhole cover or something.

got a bit of a wild dollin style, id like to think its controlled chaos, like dollin i range from drunk pile of crap eating shit to the odd miracle landing where i look like I know what im doing.. And much like dollin lately the drunk pile of crap look is the more common outcome.

I'm a bit bow legged. I kind of look like a cowboy action figure that was taken off the horse toy and put on a tech deck. I also probably have that same sort of balance and I fall off a lot.

I think there have been points in time where I kinda try to mimic Gonz and Mark Johnson but only in my mind has my style resembled theirs.

When I’m skating transition I try to skate like T-Funk minus the safety hands.  When I skate street I try to skate like a shitty version of Kevin Rodriguez

whichever guy looks too tall to ride a skateboard with straight legs, bad knees and a sore back.

I've been told I have a regular footed gonz thing going on but that is a blessing and a curse. I often have terrible terrible high flying arms and a mob kickflip but an extremely stylish boneless. My trick select ranges from autistic to deranged. Actually my trick selection is closest to 1990 Ed Templeton with some frogish manuals thrown in for good measure.

If I had to say, I’d say it is a pushing style similar to harmony and templeton. The whole knee arm push thing. Thing is I don’t skate rails at all. Ehh I’ll take it. I like those guys

I’d like to use some adequately dated reference like ‘my style is fatherless’ and have that imply something good but that’s simply not true.

The best compliment I ever got was skating a miniramp & this guy I didn't know told me I had f/s ollies on transition like Gonz, I think it's the arms. Other than that I can't think of anyones style in particular I ever tried to emulate or bite when I was a developing kid.
