I used to dislike Reynolds, what was I thinking?
[close]

mj in the dickies receding hairline days.

That's funny. I would have figured that if you didn't like him in '96, you'd definitely not like him now.

Other than that, I could see someone being turned off by his intellectual phase during enjoi, but skating-wise, he's been consistent.

i watched busenitz first real part and thought, that the guy sucks. the chichagof part made it for me, and since then, i'm just a fan.

I used to think he regressed on purpose after he got on Real, like stopped being tech on purpose or some shit
now I think it's cool to just go fast and do huge, perfect ollies and 360 flips

This is going back a ways but back in the 80s me and everyone I knew thought Hosoi was an arrogant douchebag who was just in it for money and chicks. Now he seems like a totally humble, cool dude and when I watch the footage of him from back in the day I can't believe how amazing he looks on a board compared to pretty much everyone else from that era. So much style, it's ridiculous.

he's humble these days but he was arrogant back in the day. i figured for people who liked hosoi that was part of the appeal.

i didn't like zero as a whole in the new blood era, but then ride the sky and the osiris vid came out and i started to like zero again. now i watch new blood every now and then.

i never watched first love so the only parts i knew of leo romero were that's life and deathwish, and i don't like either of those parts. then he did the noseblunt at maloof and all of his sick coverage in mags, so i watched his first love part and i like him now.

oh yeah, and i didn't like element team as a whole after elementality until this is my element. the video sucked editing/music wise, but the skating was really good.

Jon Allie. Well I never disliked him, I just didn't really care about him. Then I realized how gnarly that dude is.

first impressions are everything. With that said, i reeeally disliked Dylan Reider after seeing his part in the Osiris video "Subject to Change." I think he was hooked up by Birdhouse at the time.

Then he got on Rasa Libre, aquired an eye-pleasing style, and i've been in looooove with him ever since.

i wasn't too crazy about Duncombe's part in "What If" either (it may have had alot to do with the mullet). But he's fuckin' rad NOW, and that's all that matters.

I wasn't a Duncombe fan until he turned into Shane Cross.

dylans change was to drastic though it seems like he was thinking how can i get everyone to stop hating me then took it to far

you watched his real to reel part and thought it sucked? wow. that part was one of the best in the vid

dylan reider. thought he was just another generic rail kid, but his transworld part changed that perception.

on the topic skateboarders i now think suck, i'm going with diego buchierri. used to think he was rad, now can't stand to watch his carcass-tossing bird style.

Jason Dill- Liked him in the 101 days, then he started annoying me around the mosaic part, and since then his skating has gotten better, and I've gotten used to how his skating has changed

definitely agree

youngblood · « **Reply #51 on:** May 16, 2009, 06:00:18 PM »

i was never too stoked on silas either when i first saw him, but fuck his inhabitants, es and even that strange notes part got be completely down with him. i think it was a thrasher part i first saw of him. i wouldn't say dislike, just completely different to how i see him now. that dude's come a long way for sure.

Used to think Chad Tim Tim was gross in his Globe/World days, but ironically, his Element days have been awesome and he's now one of my favorites...
