I'm psyched on the new wave of ams and young pros that are coming in. It seems like for awhile everyone was just doing the same shit but now some of the new guys are coming in and skating a lot of new spots and doing all new shit.

It's weird to think that some of these guys will be killing it for the next 10 years. I wonder who will be permanent and who will fall off. Any predictions?

i think a silas-baxter neal part in 10 years will be worth a watch

danny falla, brandon westgate, ron deily, chaz ortiz.

all rippers of the new generation

Cardiel!

Most of the older guys on girl will still kill it.

Mikemo
Cromer
trapasso
Herman will still kill it
Bobby Worrest
(insert more cliche slap answers)

but seriously if Mikemos on the shit he's on now........10 years, holy shit.

im stacking my hope in a few dudes, im definatly forgetting a good amount but heres who comes to mind:

p-kid
jimmy mcdonald
manderson
gravette
david gonzales (kid isn't afraid of anything, lets just hope he doesn't get into drugs/alcohol as fast as it looks)
andrew allen
westgate

edit: i thought it was an am only type thing, new pros will add a good 20-30 names to my list

Speaking of falling off remember Carlos Ruiz from "What If"? with 0 flip tricks in his part...
What the hell happened to him?

lets not turn this into a "what happened to........" thread but what about pat corcoran of AWS fame? reminds me of carlos ruiz.

people who will fall off

billy marks- don't know why, just seems like he would
vince del valle- don't know why also, doesn't seem like the type that would have longevity to me.
ethan fowler- its been happening slowly ever since he left stereo

Wizard Fuck · « **Reply #9 on:** May 26, 2008, 09:29:59 PM »

James Hardy will be in the top
David Clark
Brad Cromer
Brandon Westgate
and Lem Villimen

i cant even imagine what it'll be like in 10 years. im still bummed that all the guys i grew up on are going to be 40+ in 10 years...Carroll, Koston, Reynolds, Kirchart...hopefully they'll all still be around though. After Fully Flared it seems like age doesnt mean shit.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. I can't believe that the guys you mentioned and Geoff, Guy, McCrank, and others have been running shit for this long. Andrew Reynolds and the Lakai guys really chilled me out when I started to worry about getting older. Now I know I can still kill it in my early 30's. Not that I'm amazing, but I'll be having a blast.

CigaretteBeer · « **Reply #12 on:** May 26, 2008, 10:50:46 PM »

I'm sure Koston will still be killing it

HoovUCDC · « **Reply #13 on:** May 26, 2008, 11:26:39 PM »

Jimmy McDonald will kill it for the next 10+ years.

kevbo999 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 27, 2008, 05:21:51 AM »

Man, what will pro skating be like in 10 years? How much more gnarly and tech can it get?

I doubt many of the guys jumping down the biggest stuff will still be pushing many limits, 10 years of that shit takes a toll.

I'd hope/expect raw street dudes like Alex Olson to be around. John Motta will be hot shit too, as to make it in the game, you'll need to be stylish, creative, tech and gnarly like him.

Rusty Champignon · « **Reply #15 on:** May 27, 2008, 05:37:56 AM »

Trapasso will probably be huge, Mike Anderson, Brad Cromer, that Robbie Russo kid as well will all probably go really far in skating

Duncombe, Worrest, Silas, Mikemo, Motta, the krooked ams, BUSENITZ, Brock, Jimmy Mcdonald, Brian Hansen, Antwuan (although I can see him falling off as easily as him killing it)... shit, theres a bunch of guys.

BabyKillaSeason · « **Reply #22 on:** May 27, 2008, 08:39:26 AM »

Dompierre will be around. He's sick seems like he has a good attitude. Worrest for sure. Malto for ams.

mbcls · « **Reply #23 on:** May 27, 2008, 08:58:33 AM »

jbrock for sure. trapasso, gravette and i cant wait to see the shit that mike mo is gonna be doin

StabMasterArson · « **Reply #24 on:** May 27, 2008, 09:26:41 AM »

I'm pretty sure Gravette will die 50-50ing the biggest handrail ever. So not him. He'll put up a good fight though. I'd imagine Emmanual Guzman killing everything for quite some time.

daddy · « **Reply #25 on:** May 27, 2008, 09:39:45 AM »

Unless Alex Olsen goes crazy or something, he will probably be the guy

TheFrontSeatLife · « **Reply #26 on:** May 27, 2008, 10:14:07 AM »

I think Alex Olson, Jimmy McDonald, Nick Dompierre, Bobby Worrest, Silas and Mike Mo (amongst others) will be the next guys that are the really "big name" well known pro's that kids will be hyped on.

I think Trepasso might fall off. I've heard you can't make him do anything he doesn't want to so if one of the things he doesn't want to do becomes filing and shooting photos he could become the psychedelic equivalent to a Trainwreck relatively easily.

Also, in 5 years, Sheckler will have quit skating altogether for rolling free weight curling. A sport he invented and pioneered.

I hope so. Anti-hero ams have a tendency to fall heavy into the whole anti-hero thing and end up as alcoholics and junkies who "could have been...."

Really true. Hope it doesn't happen to their new crop Andrew Allen is too raw to end up a boozer who's dropped anchor on life.
