Can we stop talking about this guy already? He hit his peak 5-6 years ago when people still cared about tech ledge tricks. Obviously he's good but everyone is these days. If he weren't boring as fuck, had an ounce of marketability, and filmed an impressive part, he'd have turned pro already. But he is, doesn't, and hasn't. Tommy Fynn is the same story. Some of you act like anyone who can flip into a back noseblunt should be pro. But guess what, there's more to turning pro than that. Accept it and move on.
WHAT...?
Let me guess, you only started skating 5-6 yrs ago right...
i started skating in 1993, am i allowed to comment on this?
he hit his peak as an "am to watch" and he never did anything past that. he has a great trick selection and a great style, but he hasn't done shit else. to get a board on mystery all he had to do was film a part. that's it. windsor james isn't part of the new push of guys like carlin and asta, but he filmed a part and got a board because that was all he had to do. there was the interview with dennis durrant right when he got on skate mental where he said he just had to film a part, and if this him being off skate mental rumor is true, that's the second time he didn't do the one thing that would've gotten his name on a board.
how has he deserved it?
If only things were that simple?
Dennis is always out skating, and always either filming or trying to film. He puts in work. Anyone that says anything else either is just an observer from a distance or just has no actual idea and is just making their own opinion from shit they read, because everyone that knows or skates with knows that he isn't lazy at all.
Sometimes shit doesn't work out with a company; that's it. He deserves a legit board hook up and is still as relevant today as ever. A couple months ago on a trip he clocked so much good shit, that will soon be getting released.
