Is it possible for shorter people to have higher pop than taller people?

People forget if you're tall you have way more body/weight to get up and over stuff.

I’m not trying to hear that bullshit… Tall people have a huge advantage because their heads are higher in the atmosphere where the air is thinner.  It’s called science, look it up.

Don't look up!

The real pop is the friends we make along the way.

I know this is old, but I don't think Aldrin Garcia is that tall.

[TreyPhillip]

I think gilbert crockett has a mean fuckin pop but hes a short king. I also see TJ and i dont think any short person could ever get to his level of mastery and pop because hes so tall and he has a NBA kind of frame. For us short kings we will never be able to get on par with tall kings? *cries emoji*

Have you ever watched basketball before, or is this satire? There’s no way that tj is more than an inch taller than Gilby

What’s the record. That looks about a tennis net which is 44 I think. I feel like tennis net is the usual limit for real muthas.


Probably peaced out because mad heads have a 42” Ollie.

I'm not sure, but I do think some tall people rode for Shorty's while high.

That shit also got pop

Aldrin Garcia holds the world record ollie at 45”. I think previously it was held by Wainwright at 42” or 44”.

[BRINK]

Proportionally speaking, Pancho Moler was probably the highest ollie-r in the world.

Hubba and Banks wall …

Danny's Ollie was 44.5.
Jake Hayes and I think another have also broken it after Garcia by half an inch (45.5).It's a bit like running tho where there's plenty of people who can run 100m in under 10 seconds it's just who of the absolute top is gonna break it.

[silhouette]

How tall is Donger? I always thought he was quite tall but I might be mistaken.

Donger always looked tall to me too, and now I'm wondering, how tall is Paulo Diaz? With the way he moves I can't really tell, seems to be of average height, not exactly short but not huge? Always had my favorite nollie and switch pop in the game.

Oh for sure, for some reason in my head the aldrin one was taller, I had to look it up (didn’t watch the video). Not surprised someone broke the record. Especially when it comes down to .5-1”, that can come down to just riding higher trucks or bigger wheels or something. And then the way the Guinness records work how they have to have an official present. I’m sure all skate records have been broken by someone, somewhere on some random session. And that’s part of what makes “this thing of ours” so special.

A friend was shorter, never trained and was always partying, somehow he always jumped more and more each year  :'(
Nothing makes sense ever since

I would guess Donger is 5'8". I'm 5'10" and he is a little shorter than me.
Aldrin is even shorter, maybe 5'6" I'd guess.

Just more proof that fucking off in life gets you further than trying.
