The worst 3 pros in history

I think a lot of pals have conflated worst for least favorite.
Andrew cannon is up there for me. Felix is one and Dyrdek never really deserved pro status.

Whoever said Duffy should focus their account

In speed freaks rob roskopp had a single of a fakie Ollie decker on a mini ramp . I’m always triggered by how revered his board graphics are , by how badly he sucked .

I always wondered how he was pro for bombing a footpath & skating a ditch to shit music, but people were pro for contests at the time, not videos. Never really heard of him at the time though, asides from his board series.

Didn't Roskopp decide to retire cuz he couldn't learn to Mctwist? the timeframes seem off cuz I feel like he had a board till the early 90s, but either wheels or fire or Streets of fire they fake him doing a Mctwist in the intro. a Bailed Mctwist merged with a landed backside air.

Apparently he started a bike company

Dyrdek never deserved pro status? I’m not a huge fan or anything, but he was the first to nollie into a handrail, first to go switch down Carlsbad, had some really great backtail photos super early on. Had way more coverage than people think. Weird take for someone that seems to know some skate history.

Dyrdek definitely deserved pro-status. He was a top tier pro back in the days, and kept ripping.  First person to nollie nosegrind a rail.

Whoever said Jason Rothmeyer is a damn fool.

this one dude at my local who claims to have been pro

i never pushed him to explain but by the way he skates, it always seemed like he made himself pro

i mean when you compare him to the rest of the black label and death teams when he was with them i'd say he was pretty okay

Never forget he backside hurricaned Wilshire 15

Lots of "pro" skaters who are being marketed for their identity (gender, race, sexual orientation), not their ability come to mind. So many pro skaters today are not good objectively at skateboarding.

but #1 is kevin white. he is so far behind his peers, I can't believe Adidas pays him actual money...

Is this devolving into “pros I have a grudge against”?
