Clive is this generation’s Duffman, but the world isn’t ready to hear that….
duffel was one of the most impactful skateboarders of his generation, clive is just a bro who is gnarly
is this trolling?
nah, corey duffel and clive dixon have both done things that wouldn't/won't be touch(ed) for years to come but in the early/mid 2000s every third kid wanted to be corey duffel. he had an influence on the trajectory of skateboarding during that era and contemporary pros are still claiming him as an influence. clive could never match that.
edit: i would honestly compare him to jeremy wray if anything
Corey is great but Clive Noseblunt down staples center that's some legendary shit.
Corey duffel 50'd a 20 stair wooden hubba that took the life of a bmxer... there's a bench at the bottom in memorium. The whole walnut creek/ eastbay area is called "duffland". Kids dressed like him for 10+ years.
One trick with bad style at staples center is nothing compared to duffel's legacy.
Hold the f up, do you actually think Clive's noseblunt was done with bad style? Holy shit, do you need to be locked up in the psych ward for that! Clive did it with power and style, that not many others could offer with even 5050ing or nose sliding Convention Center (it's next to Staples, not Staples as a general FYI for people) Hubba. Is his style on a board everyone's cup of tea? No. But I'll be damned if Clive's workhorse hucking in skating doesn't get some respect it deserves.
Duffman. Also legendary for his spots and tricks. Clive is on that same trajectory but with 1/5th of the charisma and wildcard Duffel had.
