I saw Christian skate. I was in crutches and it was sub zero. He did mostly lay backs all day I didn't get bored for a second.

I got a photo with him. It's in my blackberry.

He probably is the best. IDK.

Definitely the best G turns and top 5 airs.

I wanna see Jimmy Wilkins skate very badly.

Demo Machine Chris Cobra in like '04 during a Zero/Mystery tour at an indoor park that used to exist in Massachusetts whose name is escaping me at the moment. It was quite a spectacle and needless to say, permission was granted to rip that day soldier. My tiny boy eyeballs couldn't handle the display being put forth before me, with his bodacious moves leaving me shaking in my little JT201s.

Special Demo Mention: Dan Murphy did the biggest nollie El Nino flip I've ever seen, the crowd then erupted and everyone clapped.

Honorable Mentions:

1. PJ Ladd at Skaters Island in '03 right after PJLWHL came out and the whole transition to Flip and Es had occurred.   
2. Dana Ericson at any given time.

That's what I was going to say. I filmed his nollie flip back tail at the pier and some other lines he was so fucking consistent.

Zero demo last night, seeing Chris Wimer skate in person is really something else.
Dude is a machine.
If that demo is rolling through your town I recommend going, David Reyes is with them also for some reason, got to see a three flip nose blunt on a handrail in person for the first time. SLS kinda burned me out on that trick but it's a whole lot different seeing it in person, holy shit.

Bastien. Fuck the best. Raddest live
[close]

Love to see the Bastien love over and over again.

Saw him skate a Vans demo with Greco in his prime. The dude did these beautiful giant backside flips off the top of the bank. And immediately followed it up with a giant big flip.

He doesn’t skate like anyone else. Dude went huge and popped his tricks so proper. Bastien is a god among men.

I haven't seen a lot but when Ben Raybourn was in town from Houston he absolutely blew our minds.
He came for the opening of the corpus cole park skatepark and was doing shit we thought was impossible.
Really used the whole park.

no, i live in an efficiency by myself and work in middle management like you, loser

Jagger Eaton pulled up with Hermana and Chris Chann when they were all on the heart supply team, and Jagger FUCKED up the 10 foot pool at Moorpark, took some heavy slams.

i dont blame him, not everybody is blessed with crazy steeze

theres this one guy in my local who has the greatest ollie, kickflip and backside flips ive ever seen in my life. its seared into my memory & he'll forever be the best at those tricks, even though he's pretty much a nobody

that steeze is something youre born with & cant force

Deedz, even just watching him skate a demo it was clear how talented he was.  Also as a little kid I saw trappasso at a toy demo and he was just as, if not more incredible to watch.

Oski at a Vans park series stop in Shanghai a few years ago. He didn't practice a set routine like most others, tried something different every time regardless of making tricks or not. Fell a bunch obviously, not a care in the world. Then stuck one insane run in the finals with things he didn't try once during the course of the day and won the whole thing.

Also Rodrigo TX was shocking in person, got to watch him win an Adidas demo. A level above everyone on the day. There was a pretty tall manual pad people were messing about on and he bs flipped the whole thing first try then came around and fs flipped it. Everyone was just laughing at how insane it was.

JR at Cheapskates was so much fun to watch.
