idk if it's been said already, but Justin Henry doesn't do much for me. I think his style (both fashion style and on the board) seem a little too cramped. Maybe dislike is too strong a word, but wtv.

E.T for sure

First of all, ET is not even pro (yet), second of all, how dare you?  ;D

Seriously though, as a french canadian who wears baggy pants and jorts, this hurt.  :'(

my classic answer to this used to be Ethan Fowler

for now I guess Crockett
I kind of agree with Gilbert, but his mother part has some impeccable moments. His pro shoe, however, is the best I've ever skated

I've never been a big fan of any of the original FA/Supreme kids outside of Kevin Bradley (who I just wish would produce to his potential and finally have the career-defining part he's capable of). Although, only Tyshawn and Sage are really liked, as most people shit on Nak, Aidan, and Sean Pablo.

Sage is a really cool dude all around he makes really good music unlike someone else.

I'll give him props for getting a really impressive trick in my city. Just never been a huge fan and that's partially related to his output and maybe how they were all treated with such hype due to the Supreme association.

Not really making a comment on anyone's personality or outside interests. Unless they are blatantly kooking it, which doesn't come anywhere near applying to Sage.

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.



Yeah, and he still doesn’t have much footage. What changed in the last three years that made Hockey give him a board?

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.

Zion’s style is completely detestable. I also would put him on the list of most punchable faces in skateboarding.

Come at me bro

I was agreeing with most of the comments up until ET. Since then shit has gotten bugged out and people are just saying stuff. But ET looks great on board.

I’m at that age where I can’t really stand anyone who is mean or shitty ( especially to non-skaters In their parts).   I can separate tricks from the person and can appreciate Tyshawn or T-Funk parts for example, but they just seem unpleasant as people and I can’t care about them as skaters.

Same

godspeed is great but it could be a way better watch without showing how mean / stupid the majority of the crew / IC seems to be

I used to really like $lave skateboards and the artists drawings, but after listening to the Caleb Barnett diss on his bunt episode, it really rubs me the wrong way now thinking about their team and how majority white oside/vista-y it is. Call me a hater, but just do not vibe well with most of that crew of dudes

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.

Huge part of it too is attitude. When I was a kid, one of my friends was OBSESSED with Koston and we went to a Girl demo where he was skating. I remember him being a total asshole to EVERYONE, and ever since then, my friend never liked Koston the same way.
Meanwhile Rick (who I always liked better) was the last member of the team to get in the van, super nice to everyone, and absolutely killed it.

Rick is goated.

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.
[close]
So.. is it the man bun?

That’s almost offensive, but we can agree to disagree. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  I thought Gustav was universally unhateable.  In my opinion, he’s one of the most gifted street skaters on earth.

It’s not that I even dislike him, I’m neutral on him - I rewatched his SS2 part after I posted that to see if my opinion could be swayed. The switch front heel over besos was sick. I know he’s gifted and innovative, but he’s not someone whose video parts I’ll revisit. Just devoid of style for me, sad to say. Not even the man bun, Gabriel Rodriguez rocked a ponytail in paco and that part is really sick.

I dunno, I’d rather watch Andrew verde or watch Jake rupp nollie over besos instead of seeing a nollie flip 360 from Gustav. But for sure, agree to disagree. Nothing wrong with being a Gustav fan.

you should check out noe solis in godspeed

That dude rips so much harder than his body type would seemingly allow him to. What a gnarly skater.

Fuck it, I’ll say it, something about Manderson rubs me the wrong way, despite how original and amazing of a skater he is.  I dunno, the elbow sleeve, the overly postured style, abundance of switch wallie tricks, the fact that he always comes off a little pseudo-alpha in interviews… maybe I’m just jealous of his skill and goat farm or whatever.

You must really hate Felipe Nunez.

When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.
