To clarify I mean - was he ever anyone’s favorite skater? Or did we just kinda tolerate him
he was probably literally my favorite skater for like 4 years, and he's still up there for me. Yeah Right and Fully Flared parts are timeless imho, as is everything in the Crail tour videos. Baggy fits, best style, conservative trick selection, and honestly some of the funniest b-roll just from him being a total goofball. "Look at the clouds, Wolfy, Look at the clouds, fool!!"
Obviously the recent years have been tough to watch, but also he doesn't even skate anymore and he doesn't pretend to either, so who gives a shit? He had a pretty undeniable 15 year run, including a second wind a few years ago where he did for sure the best skating of his career in his mid 30's. Let's not rewrite history just cause he's a meathead now.
