oldest skater with the most pop

[Ok]

who is it?

[Mean salto]

Well how can you measure? Inches of pop then some scale where you minus more inches for younger than older?

I think Brophy is 40 and can still get up there. Reynolds bit older can still jump.
Kevin Taylor even older and Ron Allen older again but not as much pop as Reynolds.

[Ok]

good shouts.
i was thinking less quantifiable, and more just when you know you know. i guess?
brophy, reynolds, kt, all tall: so they can just suck the legs up, i reckon. mmmm, sounds like i’m taking away from their strengths, that’s not what i was trying to get at.
ron allen is not tall.

thanks for suggestions!

Obvious bias as a tall guy and I've already talked about this is too many threads lol but I don't think points taken off for being tall should be a thing. An Ollie is not the same thing as a regular jump so being tall isn't always an advantage. Then especially not when we're also talking about being old as tall usually also means heavier and being tall puts way more strain on the body over the years.

I think Jimmy lannon might also be 40 and can still get over stuff.

Ellington still has big pop for sure. As does Greco.

Dude is 60, right? Yeah. 60, just checked. Damn.

[Ok]

thanks for all of the suggestions.

my title is way too clickbait. could have said: older skaters with pop.

interesting to think that ellington still has that ups. he’s an alltimer.

ron is a goal, with his longevity

Henry Sanchez said on his 9 club he had recently ollied a tennis court net from flat

no fucking way.
i need to look that up. tennis net is 36” and that’s the bar, imo, of a ‘high ollie’

[sharkjumper]

Busenitz in that arrow and beast video does a very tall ollie. And he’s 41 I think.

[Ok]

that was a very tall ollie. legitimate pop in the street

How old is Westgate? I bet he top 10 any age.

[Ok]

yeah all of these have been good. i’m just looking to see dudes that can still get it up in their 40-50s, doesn’t have to be the utmost, biggest etc.
still popping.

the busenitz ollie was a perfect example.

[GumOnMyGrip]

Quel Haddox is getting up there. Massive ollies.

[bartlaser]

I'm going to say Quim Cardona.  He definitely had some crazy pop in his prime and I'd like to think he can still get up there decently for being an older guy now.

[Pushing 4D]

Jake Rupp can still put em up there

His speed while doing those tricks is crazy aswell. That switch 360 flip in dancing on thin ice.
