Listening to Dan Corrigan talk is basically like reading a thread on SLAP

Danny Montoya I believe did a nollie 180 switch 5-0 both over a rail and adjacent to a rail. I did not stair count, but this was likely 2 decades ago. And you know no one has an encyclopedic memory of every rail trick ever done so unless I were to go and watch that many years of videos to job the memory you win. Just block me if you hate me that much I won't miss seeing your posts either.

Shoe string belts are dumb. Get a real belt.

Leopard and similar patterns look terrible on everyone.

Fake mango.  Meaning any artificially flavored mango products always taste terrible.  Fuck fake mango.  Especially in drinks.

His Adio OSB part has more diversity of tricks than Reynolds whole career.

Don't know if I agree regarding Montoya but I would say peak Rowley > peak Reynolds.

Riley Hawk and Frances Bean Cobain will have a child named Kurt Hawk, and he will be the the second person to play guitar while doing a backside air in a pool.

Peak Geof was amazing but at no point did his status in the hierarchy of legends, exceed Reynolds.

Yes his level of gnar might have presented more risk.  BUT, there are plenty of dudes who took gnar to another level. But the level of style, talent, trick selection and overall influence is no where near what Reynolds has done for well over two decades.  I take offense. So great job as this opinion should be very unpopular

This is the unpopular opinion thread so yeah.  I would rather watch Rowleys Sorry part than any Reynolds part.  Is his career as storied or as influential as Reynolds, no.  Is he better at his peak, yep.  Go watch Sorry again, that part is fucking untouchable.

P-rod is undeniable top 5 goats. His ugly dunk last part was one of the  best of the years... 36 skating fast and big and switch.

This thread sucks.  Especially unpopular in a 30 sec prod part that has him skating the sylmar 11 as the ender.  When I live in the valley this was a set we regularly visited.  Skates like a 7 stair.  I remember not landing a nollie heel down it but coming close.  I’m not a stair guy and never was. Switch big is dope down it tho.  So my hate is unwarranted. 

Them shoes were ugly too.  But I would wear them to flex on my fanboy 13 yr old son.

My unpopular (I guess) opinion is that it makes no sense to argue about who is the better of any two insanely talented skaters with different style who skated different things. Given that there's no objective measurement or stat sheets you can rely on, it's completely subjective and blowing your stack over someone's opinion is loser shit.

Speaking from recent experience I would highly suggest not discussing Reynolds' trick selection or depth.

To be fair you could say that about 90% of Reynolds’ parts. But I still love em.

I'm starting to think you fundamentally don't understand skateboarding.
[close]

Please explain how Reynolds doesn’t have a bag of core tricks- full cabs, frontside flips, kickflips, kickflip noseslides, fakie frontside flips, nollie 180s, etc that are in most of his parts for a large portion of his tricks. A nollie shuv was surprising, he often throws in a nose blunt and maybe a nollie 3 or sometimes a varial heel, but most of the time you know what you’re going to get. I forget which pro said it in an interview (think it was Cromer), but there are certain skaters you can watch do a lot of the same stuff over and over and it’s amazing each time. Obviously he did it down insane shit but let’s not act like he’s a savant at coming up with NBD pretzel combos or really skating a spot in a way no one has ever thought of.
What you're talking is like saying you like a band but only listening to the singles. Sure the bangers are mostly the classic tricks, but every part has a ton of other stuff in between, Baker 3 had lots of cool ass lines for example, it isn't 5 whole minutes of frontside flips.

Ishod Wair sucks. Let me explain, he doesn't actually suck but he sucks because he turned into a fried Californian who doesn't remember that he's from New Jersey and has about 4 Philly parts, I bet those Sabotage guys wouldn't film him again. He needs to film a whole East coast part for me to respect him.
