Don Nguyen - I thought of him as some boring rail guy around the time of that 411 part, but his newer shit has been really good.

All I can think of is Mikey Taylor. His style has come a long way since In Bloom

when i was young, i wasn't into fred gall whatsoever. and that was based on his mosaic part, and how gross everything looked.

now he's seriously in my top 10, hell, i got a pair of domestics work pants on right now.

thats funny, I started getting into magazines/videos around the time mosaic came out and fred's part in that really opened my eyes to what skateboarding should be about. he had an ad doing a nosepick at that cool transistion spot in barcelona and it just totally stuck out to me for some reason, dude has been my favorite since then.

mikey taylor has come along way since skate more...I used to think he was the epitome of the 'bland california dude' but he's starting to grow on me now. I used to really dislike pat smith and his mohawk, but I love him now.

I used to really dislike ed selego until his post-mosaic footage. bryan herman also matured into a likeable skateboarder. There's tons of dudes I dislike, but I never really think about them unless someone brings them up in person.

Tony Trujillo, probably cause i was just some dumbshit kid who didnt like that whole punk rock look he had. kinda forgot about him until beauty and the beast dropped and now hes one of my favorites. still cant forget about these though, I remember this was a main reason for my hatred...

Javier Nunez, Ed Selego for a quick minute, Mikey T, Dan Murphy, Chris Haslam (didnt he have a digital part? If so that was terrible), Leo, and Benny Fairfax.

Haslam had a Digital part with clips of girls asses and tits to the song "girls girls girls" by Moteley Crue. At the premier it was awkward because there were little kids and mom types sitting next to me. I believe he had some one footed noseslide trick in there too. I still don't care for his skating.

Leo Romero - his part in First Love was pretty forgettable, but his photos in Skateboarder were amazing.

eric koston. he came off as a cocky bastard. still is to a degree but the skating is there so, whatever. i sometimes wonder what kind of person he would've become without rick mike and megan constantly checking his ego.

It's hard not to be cocky when your that good
Although he doesn't seem cocky to me at all, he seems like a cool dude who's down for fun skating.

I use to despise any hesh dudes cause I don't like big rail tricks, but now I can appreciate the gnarliness that it takes to man up to some of that deathwish kinda shit

i used to not like daewon. but that was just stupid. other than that, i think either I like your skating or ignored it completely. i cant remember caring enough to actively dislike someone for their skating. personality though, is a different story.

mike taylor. up to and including his mindfield part. his footage in the extras sealed the deal for me, more enjoyable than his actual part.

his racism? i guarantee you say more racist shit every day of your life, everyone in the world says that shit

Everyone in the world refers to Stevie Williams as a "trashy nigger?"

Hold up....I mean, that was pretty ridiculous.

Also with the homophobia. That shit made the racism seem mild. Granted he was an ignorant suburban teenager, and they tend to be ignorant as fuck about people who are different from them. Most aren't, but some are. Hopefully he grew up and wised up. The shit was undeniably racist and homophobic.

Bastien.
Used to be a self cheering little dick. Got kicked off Flip and Etnies.
Rumours of him going to see a witch doctor in the congo and some weird ritual going down involving elephant blood.
Now is utterly insane and turns up at spots in a suit with two guitars and no board.

Got so much more time for him now.

Ryan Nix. I'm not even sure why I disliked him at one point but all I remember is always skipping his part in Bootleg 3000.

I used to dislike Reynolds, what was I thinking?

same, i wasnt into the whole kr3w andrew reynolds thing, ever siince he left kr3w and started up Altamont i have been down with him, mostley i didnt like his image, hated his dyed hair white button up shirts, plus to me he didnt have much tricks, all i saw was frontside flips and fullcabs, now i am a fully fledged reynolds fan, nollie inward heel baker ad, half cab heel noseslide for that altamont ad, so dope, i after reading his shit in thrasher saying that they need stuff like altamont and shit these days and how he explained that we need these shit companys because if you arent into them there always altamont, smart man

This isn't really a skater I hated but honestly even with some parts that I seen from Skate More and the Roll Forever vid....I was never really a fan of Busenitz. BUt just in the last couple of years from just demos and seeing how this guy skates live, he really is my favorite skater right now. The dude is a all terrain machine.

Ronald Wilson Reagan · « **Reply #87 on:** May 18, 2009, 04:56:49 PM »

^ I can feel that, I had a similar opinion of Reynolds. I liked his part in The End a lot, but then he seemed to kind of repeat himself. His next 3 parts or something ended with a frontside flip down one more stair than his last part. But my god is he impressive when you see him in person, and I also genuinely think his parts picked up a little, even though, looking back, those other parts weren't that bad.
But yeah, I already liked Busenitz, but after seeing him in person many times, at many different spots, I am shocked at his talent level, it can be a ledge spot, the park, or anything else, and he is always skating 100 mph, always landing incredibly tough tricks at that speed either first try in the middle of a line, or within a few tries. I know its overdone, but he is so amazing.
