Most Underrated Pros

[Fastfreddy]

you were dead on with Justin Strubing, but Cooper Wilt is garbage.

cooper wilt.

[fulfillthedream]

sean gutteirez (sp?), Fritz Mead...There's just so many great skaters nowadays and not enough room in the spotlight. Seems as though image and marketing trumps raw talent lately.

what's his board sponsor? i've seen his name on the zero/mystery cold war tour and i remember him being on 1031. another 1031 rider lost to a bigger brand.

moose. not so much underrated as hated on for no reason

[close]

No dude fuck all the haters I'm backing moose 110 percent. And that has nothing to do with my porfile pic lol

[close]

Dont understand the hate. Dude is probably the most well rounded skaters at Deathwish. He can get super tech on ledges, mannys, kill it on handrails and stairs. His style is pretty solid, Deathwish part was pretty overlooked by some people due to Dickson turning pro and all. I felt he shoulda turned pro with him, hes been killing it for way too long. 

This. Moose is still am but he is seriously on some fucking beastmode shit. Has anyone seen his games of skate at the berrics?  Def killing it.  He should be pro by now. His deathwish part was on that level.  Ive been rooting for him ever since i saw that cab flip in that adio ad....It would be an honor to be a teammate oneday...just sayin

Its crazy. In this day in age of skateboarding, Moose is still Am after a hard hitting part, Daniel Castillo is still Pro with a 5 second part, and people praise Alex Olson for everything he does that doesn't involve skating. Skating's a tripp right now.

fuenzalida for sure.
guru khalsa.
steve nesser.
tim tim.
shetler.

[Daniel Nusbaum]

caswell berry, louie barletta, billy roper, fuenzalida, every person on skatemafia (besides surrey and kremer), lots of east coast dudes

[Tarela]

If not already mentioned Cairo Foster always felt he deserved more shine, Aaron Suski, Dave Caddo

[malcyvelli]

caswell berry, louie barletta, billy roper, fuenzalida, every person on skatemafia (besides surrey and kremer), lots of east coast dudes

Except Surrey? Well, you're clearly high as fuck

Cairo and Steve Durante are good ones too, I think Cairo is just old though now

[labor]

Joel Meinholz
Mike Ruczyck (retired, i know)
Mike Carroll (because we should appreciate him that much more than we do. Should be on any list - hairiest pros?  mike carroll, sure why not)
Justin Eldrige (guy doesnt have a shoe sponsor and clearly was a casualty of the Ty Evans experience. Rips and great style)
Justin Strubing
Pete Eldridge (but I feel like hes starting to get what he deserves)
Donny Barley (he was brandon westgate before their was a brandon westgate)
Yaje Popson (I know his situation, but I think he's more fun to watch on a board than most)
Brian Delattore (probably not underrated but is so great to watch)
Kareem Campbell (people forget)
Henry Sanchez (see above)
The Whole MIA skate shop
Jeremy Wray (Never got the recognition he deserved; Put it this way, I am huge dill fan, but it seems werid that Dill will be remembered more than this guy)
Matt Beach
Eric Pupecki (he kinda just got lumped in with the Menace vibe, but was doing  harder, more advanced stuff than most people - and w/style
Adrian Lopez (tailslides the hardway on rails)
Nesser
Aaron Suski (watching this guy in person makes it that much better)
Alex Olson (see above)
Joey Pepper
Karma
Markovich (skating fast before it was cool)
Kerry Getz (People like him, but I think the gnar and style are underappreciated)
Patrick Melcher (he does incredible tricks really fast but seems to not be "cool" enough for the industry)
Nate Jones (one word: style)

[JAesop]

Ben Krahn

[heritage]

I've always thought Daryl Angel was underrated. Smooth and style for days.

Kenny Anderson and Danny Garcia. Not sure if they are really considered underrated, but they deserve any/every ounce of attention they get.

Not a pro, but I think Sebo Walker is really underrated.

Chris Senn is up there for sure. I watched this is skateboarding the other day all the way through for the first time in forever. I forgot how good he truly was/is.

[StimCoCruzer]

kyle nicholson (even though he just turned pro, i dont think this guy gets enough of the limelight,) mike wright (from UK, could literally be in cheese and crackers 2)

in regards to dgk ownership and what not

BUT

let me be very clear

that when he put it down.....he put it down as one of the best on the entire EARTH when he was coming up

its easy to focus on the other shit....but when he had something to prove

HE DID

most stevie fans have never even seen the REASON or the DC video

this part changed and saved lives


this part made you proud to be a nigga


this part let kicked down the DOOR when chocolate was chocolate
