and clearly its koston you simple fucks.
[close]

beg to differ.. it would most likely be REYNOLDS.. the level of skating steps up every single time he puts out a video part , and he isnt boring like koston. koston is great indeed but very boring to watch.   plus reynolds is ALWAYS doing that that hasnt been done . with the exception of his go to MOVES the KF & FSflip. but even still they are always gnarly

sarcasm overload?

i think hes being serious

I agree completly
Kosten tears it up
but Andrew is <u>ALWAYS</u> tearing it up

oh, i didn't know it was like that...

i don't understand  how reynolds is beating koston.  Throwing the same 4 tricks down 1 or 2 more stairs each part isn't inovation.  Its boring and it has a wow factor until you figure out he can do the trick with his eyes closed.  Koston's always on the new shit.

to me there is nobody who is the "greatest" skater of all time...

the list skaters who have had the most influence on skateboarding and the direction of progression in the street skating era to me is as follows:

rodney mullen
tommy guerrero
natas kaupas
mark gonzales
mike vallelly
matt hensley
ed templeton
jason lee
eric koston
guy mariano
henry sanchez
daewon song
pat duffy
andrew reynolds
jamie thomas
chris cole

now this does not mean that i'm a big fan of all the dudes on this list.  however, i do respect what all of them have brought to skateboarding.

No Bill Danforth? Some Steve Saiz perhaps? Where the fuck is Damon Byrd and legendary Darrel "Cookiehead" Jenkins? Why can't they have a little love? Why can't they get some fuckin' respect around here!?

Where is the Chris Cole option?

If you don't like Chris Cole you're not a skateboarder.
