I can get behind these choices but BA was the first that came to mind

The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

Lol. Ave is like 5 foot 4

maybe that was already covered but, do people think powerhouses have to be tall?

Why have I not seen Grants name in here yet? Boserio and Kanfoush are top picks as well.

I love Nik Stain’s skating, but I don’t recall him having outstanding pop—speed and style for sure, but you need all three to qualify as a powerhouse. I would argue that having a huge ollie is the defining characteristic. I would love to be corrected though.

Donger is the most mellow powerhouse roaming this planet. Definitely not the fastest, but certainly most pop.

I think Natas deserves a mention. Not the most pop by today's standards but at the time he was definitely a powerhouse.

the way Peter Hewitt attacks a FS grind I would definitely consider him a powerhouse.

Caleb? I don't see it. Being tall shouldn't automatically make you a 'powerhouse' he doesn't really skate with speed or strength. He's just very tall. I'm a fan as well.
