Just to add a few-
Alan Losi is way overlooked. So is Micke Alba.
Blaine Blouin was poetry.
On a good day, very few could skate like Tom Boyle. He just was in his mind so much.
Mark Gonzales is overlooked too. No style like his on vert ever. Instantly recognizable.

But for best ever…Hosoi, Hawk, Miller, GT, Pedro, Vov, Wilkins

I saw Pedro Beros skate at the Vans park series in Vancouver, back in 2017, at the Hastings Bowl.

It was the most insane skating I've ever seen. Dude hucked this huge 540, it was nuts. That bowl is deep!

 Sluggo tried a backflip in the prelims and slammed and busted his face all up, it was gnarly!

As said before, Wade Speyer is the correct answer. However the one I want to watch and get hyped on skating transition is Micky Chan.

Peter Hewitt, Nolan Johnson, Chris cope, Wade speyer, Dan drehobl

those are the dudes who’s parts I’ve watched most often, and to me look the most fun. Plus most of that list can hang with a vert ramp as well as a pool or whatever. There’s plenty of old vert dudes I love to watch but these guys make it all look good, and scary, and fun. Skating with Nolan over the years  and Chris from time to time truly helped me understand this is just second nature to some people, and it’s really somethin else to watch.

so much magic on mini, but surprised yours was the first mention.

no one's said brent actchley yet, who was pretty unique.

ronnie sandoval is also super watchable, don't think he got a mention yet.

I have a q - do ya think being a tall guy makes transition scarier since your vantage point is much higher when you are atop coping? Or is it scarier for a short person because the q-pipes are more likely to be taller than u when u standing in flatbotom?

When I'm skating transition a ton I only think about the part of the ramp that has very or coping on it. Unless there's really tight transition then I gotta think about the whole ramp.

My fears mostly come into play when it's cement. Or if I keep hanging up on fs slashes. I'm like 5'7". Im good on anything made of wood. Cement I don't like to vert.

I'm watching Adrenochrome on Tubi rn.
