Skaters that were huge and then collectively forgotten.

[Safariferrari]

I would say Mark Suciu. He's still around and skating but his profile and presence in skateboarding between the release of Cross Continental:

and Verso:

was inescapable. The industry pushed him hard, and he was widely respected within skateboarding.

He moved to NYC, seemingly didn't integrate into the city's skate scene, and his output decreased both in terms of quality and quantity post-winning SOTY. Nowadays I only see him in an occasional Adidas edit or a Habitat tour video.

I wouldnt say hes forgotten. I think he just doesnt have as much formal output through parts anymore. He still puts out IG clips pretty consistently. Other than for Adidas im not sure what other outlet he would put out a big part for unless its a personal project. Habitat is a shell of its former self and who knows how long it will last for under CCS.

Colt Cannon is a good one. Nosegrind GOAT. Tony Tave, Adrian Lopez, a lot of the heyday Circa team ended up in obscurity.

Tosh Townsend although we all know what happened but he was SO big at one point.

Some of the Real greats are kinda just gone - Ramondetta, Aultz

[close]

Colt Cannon was a long time pro on Element, probably got paid well during the Bam days and was smart with his money.

Tave - got on LE, we all know how that went

Adrian Lopez - does Loser Machine now?

Ramondetta - quit and moved back home to deal with a family medical situation

Aultz - permanent fixture of 2000s Deluxe, no idea where he is now

Edit because I dunno wtf happened to my post in posting - im pretty sure he works for BBS/Generator

If there’s Suciu footage, then great! But there’s nothing left to prove. Forreal

[Sandwich Marty]

Seems like a lot of skaters who enter the SOTY race in recent years get kinda burnt out whether they win or not. Or maybe it’s just the way my algorithm is setup.

[thecomfortsofmadness]

Running to Malto’s defence he had Nike Sb Constant, Nike Sb trust fall, and Girl “Splendor”
/ “Doll” footage or part post ankle injury.

Not to mention all his announcing for SLS, PSL, Olympics.

“Go on, get hongry on it gurllllll!”

[waffle]

Correct answers are like Luis Tolentino, Josiah Gatlyn, Mike Barker, Nick McLouth, Trainwreck, etc. - instead we get people saying Suciu, Malto, Gator (!?).

Lem Villemin

This is a good one. He was getting pushed heaps. Early Adidas was so dope. Still looking for that Adidas clip that has Tim O introducing him. Lots of flow people were in it: Andrew Pearl, Jon Nguyen, Robin Baker, etc.

[close]

God I love Lem, I think he lives in Spain and he's still skating. He really deserved to have a bigger career. You're not thinking of the Adidas from 522 on the 411 are you? No Tim O intro but all the people you mentioned are in it.

Not the one but same time period. It starts off with Lem asleep on a plane with Tim O’Connor introducing and narrating. He talks about wanting his strong fresh ankles.

Probably was this one

When did Luis pass away? I never saw anything about that and a quick Google search isn't pulling anything up

God I hope I’m mistaken, but I could have sworn there was a big RIP movement on insta when I was still on that app, if I am mistaken I am sorry for spreading any falsehoods I honestly didn’t know

[ChuckRamone]

Collin Provost seems pretty low profile these days. Is he filming a part?

[srsbsnss]

Jimmy Carlin.

Everyone that ever was a promising am then went to Darkstar purgatory too.

[Lowcalcium]

Seth Cheeks?? Really enjoyed his Logic part.

Also, Joey Pulsifer?? Loved his 411 part. He skated to Fugazi.

To be fair, about 90% of everyone who appeared in a 411vm skated to Fugazi.

I saw a toy machine reel like a month ago and fully thought it was provost before I read the caption, don't even know if I can say he piled out but he definitely fell off, I think he had the unfortunate circumstance of being really good at a certain type of skating right before the kids started going crazy

Mike Barker runs a really cool skate-nerdy insta similar to the built environment but I can’t recall it off top

I remember in 411 31 (I think), the one where stacy lowry sacks at the beginning of his profile. He talks about Joey Pulsifer and says something along the lines of ”Joey is rad, hes just a little missunderstood”. Always thought that was strange.

Yes he said on the Bunt he works for BBS

Brian Lotti is one that comes to mind for me. A lot of skaters probably don't know who that is nowadays and he was very infuencial on street skating. I dont think really people "forgot who he was", its just the new generation does not know his impact. probably a lot dont know the impact of natas, julian, cardiel either. this is all before my time even. but people likely know gonz cause hes always been around.

This might be one of the worst answers in the thread. Rodrigo is 43, still puts out footage like a monster, and is on Adidas. He’s still very much a big name.
