i never know wtf richie jackson is going to do but thats because its richie jackson
Hot take... the reason why you never know what he's gonna do is because he has to invent his own shit because he can't do the staples in today's level of street skating.
Andy Anderson honestly is the person that comes to my mind in this conversation. Him and Evan Smith.
I guess we should define ‘variety’.
If you are talking about ‘the most tricks in a particular discipline’, then
For Transition: Tony. And he probably invented half it them.
For Street: I dunno, you kids know better than me. But maybe Haslam.
For Freestyle/flatground: Rodney or Daewon.
For interdisciplinary, there are guys that can do 2/3 really well, but if we are casting a wide a net as possible, I gotta Gonz or &&
The thing about && is that he goes tangents (focused practices?) and kinda overdoes one trick at a time. Front-foot impossibles, coping dances, Mike Vallely stuff.
Which is unfortunate, because he has a ton of tricks that just come out in a stream-of-conscious way when he’s skating something new.
It’s just that in his popular videos, you just see the same 5 tricks a lot.
