I already said Jordan Richter earlier, but I'm just going to go ahead and say it again.

Patrick Melcher: kook
Andy Roy: kook
Paolo Diaz: yeah, yeah I know it’s about style and all but it never appealed to me... ability wise I thought he was a tad overrated.

Sorry :-(

I agree. He peaked in Ban This as far as I'm concerned.

if we're talking skill/personality, i didn't see evan mock on here yet, but since he's on rvca and has his own clothing line i feel like he counts enough. while i don't know if he's one of the absolute worst 3 he's pretty unbearable. skates like a worse sean pablo if sean skated a little more transition with a (somehow) smaller bag of tricks done with less style, did the dylan skater-->model/celebrity transition but far less gracefully (and at this point has mostly ditched skating altogether), commits the cardinal sin of not even staring, but giving a stupid shit-eating grin straight at the fucking camera every single time he lands a lazy fs air, and pretty much only got a platform because he was the best kid at his park and frank oceans friend liked his hair. i guess he doesn't have a board though so idk if he really counts

also hate on this one if you want but talking pure technical skills maite might be the single worst pro with a board, male or female. she has a pretty good style sometimes, and seems like a rad human, but has the single smallest bag of tricks and ability of almost any pro regardless of gender. no offense, but when 1/3 of your clips are literally just drop-ins on banks and fs slashes in 2021...

final aside but in terms of style only, i really cannot fucking stand jeff dechesare. worst trick selection, arm steeze, and clothing choice of literally anyone in skateboarding currently. has he ever actually caught a flip trick before and not just landed anywhere but bolts on his board, milliseconds before it hit the ground? can he bs 50-50? has he ever done anything besides huck ugly shit down gaps? i seriously will never understand the hype behind him

Theres some footage floating around or at least him getting damn close. Doesn’t matter.
Regardless of when, he did it. That alone takes him out of the running.

It’s honestly insane how much better of a skater and dude Ethan Loy is than his brother. EL is extremely underrated and is overshadowed by David because he dick rides Nyjah so hard.

Agreed. He’s like the fly out kid at the local park but with flip tricks with awful footing and landings. Even his push is blah.

    • Felix Arguellas and Jason Rothmeyer (tie) - Felix had a really bad style and lack of exceptional skill. I remember that his butt would always be sticking out really far when landing tricks and we’d make fun of that while watching 411 or whatever shitty Planet Earth video post-Now ‘n’ Later. He was super underwhelming. Rothmeyer had a horrible style, no pop, and did the ugliest lines. He also came across as annoying from his Foundation days onward. If you were a fan, then you need to apologize to all of us. Most of the dudes on Santa Cruz and SMA (post Natas and Julien Stranger days) were very unimpressive and lacked charisma. Ron Whaley was like seven foot tall or some shit! They just didn’t make skating look very good and weren’t hanging with a lot of the other pros at the time.

    Slaps precious Fred Gall was on New School ... tread lightly here brother

    I'm late to the party on this, cos it's a shit idea for a thread, but WTF? Lumping JR in with Felix? Fuck right off. Jason's style was/is great.
    Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

    Mike V is a fair candidate. Other than his early Powell days he was doing old tricks that the rest of skateboarding had revolved beyond. Acting all punk rock ethical while bailing on everybody for more money and pretending to be in Black Flag cover the personality part.

    Winkowski seems like a decent enough guy, but who cares about skating old boards. Same as that Dead Dave or whatever guy y’all were pumping on here a while back. All those old boards/tricks guys are boring.

    All those 'old boards' dude are my favorite type of skaters. Maybe it's their surfy-style which i like i guess. Kickflips into some grind thingy on a ledge bores me to death. Also, Erick Winkowski and Christopher Hiett are effortlessly doing things on 9,5 inch and 10 inch decks that their peers hardly did back in the day, so its not like there is no progression in skating shaped decks. The only thing that bums me out is that the Powell team (so Hietts side of things) keeps shooting video's with lame-ass skate-tubers and Braille / Revive guys. As someone else here said, Jason Park is the only redeeming thing about that team :P
