All that "hood hopper" stuff is dumb. You are inevitably influenced by the scene around you... however, although the approach is just fine, his skating just doesn't land like Kalis' or Welsh's.
I was watching that new IG Louie clip where he's blasting backside airs, fucking up transition and thought, "Here's a guy that never looks uncomfortable on a skateboard, just like Suciu, but his skating is so much more entertaining." Ishod is similar, always looking on point but it just hits different. It's hard to quantify and explain, but those two guys are so much sicker than Suciu to me. Louie for SOTY, fuck it.
