Pro Skaters everyone likes but you dislike

For some reason I just don't fw Franky Villani, im sure hes a cool dude but watching him skate pisses me off, same thing with Foy.

Is it because…

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

John Dilo
He obviously rips, but I just don’t really dig him and I’m not sure why…

 I know Nyjah's the best any way you look at it- like the richest and wins the most- but sometimes I wish he was somehow even better.

I agree with all these choices. With Jolson and Dilo, it’s probably because they have terrible fashion sense and aesthetics, only slightly better than Ryan Decenzo. Basically like a tween 2000s skater that never grew out of their clothing choices.

Regarding Foy, it’s his Red Bull hat and simultaneously super long and balding hair. He also has very questionable clothing and doesn’t eat vegetables, which is just gross.

Regarding Villani, he’s not as bad as all these others, but he just tries too hard to be unique while also being on Primitive, which is one of my least favorite of the successful brands.

I know I'll probably get a lot of flack for this but CK1. Ever since the car crash I just never liked him. I think the industry in general gave him a pass. I think he should have been in jail for much longer.

I strongly dislike watching people skate that look like they have zero fun or even kind of hate doing it. Yuto is a great example, but also basically everyone with the fake gangster tough guy steeze. Make having emotions cool again

Justin Henry.  Nothing personal, I’m sure he’s a very cool person, I just don’t like how stiff he looks.  That’s what she said.

Mango and Jalba. It's not that I don't like them as people, they seem cool. I just don't enjoy their styles of skating. Especially Jesse, Chris is alright

Newer skater - I don’t really get the hype around Caleb Barnett.  I’ve listened to his Bunt interview and he seems like a cool guy but there’s nothing that outstanding about his footage to me.

Older skater - I’ve never been a Koston fan.  I’m too young for the earlier 90’s Koston (I picked up following him around Menikmati probably).  I obviously recognize that Koston is insanely talented but his skating has never really been that exciting or raw to me despite his talent level.

Swan Pablo looks a stick bug.

I also really dislike the style of tech thats like a crazy flip trick into an extremely short grind. I feel like the grind is supposed to be the trick, so just tapping your truck on the ledge feels like cheating. Sebo does this a lot. So does Stephen Lawyer.

I hate to say it but I fucking hate his pants and I’d probably really like him as a skater if he wore different pants.

In the modern era: Yuto and Shane O’Neill. Their both immensely talented and smooth. But the skating almost looks strangely robotic.

Yuto has secret transition skills though.

In the past: Koston for sure. I remember the industry pushing Koston so hard and he was absolutely crushing, but he was never my guy.

I was always more stoked to see McCrank skate.

Justin Henry is gross. The stiff bow legged style seems to be popular these days for reasons I can’t wrap my mind around. Shit wouldn’t fly in the 90s.

I guess I’m an out of touch old man.

I will go with Gonz.  Yep. 

Any of the cariuma guys especially the flip in flip out dude. Gustavo Rubeio or whatever.

I used to not like Tom Knox and now he is among my favorites.

I’m having a really hard time with short skaters.   Low center of gravity skating. Zion is an example.  He’s probably not short but skates like it.  Even tho he is absolutely incredible.  I’m 6’1’ which I consider pretty normal height I guess. 

Don’t care for the robot skaters either.  Shane and many of the new Asian cats in the contest.

Too techy is wack AF too.  Laser flip nose grind nollie tre out. Garbage.

I’ve said it once before here, but Gustav Tonnessen. He’s obviously amazing and doesn’t need my approval, but his footage doesn’t do anything for me. No offense to those who like him, and there are tons.

Huh? You can tell he's short by looking at him
