jerry- because he has the best personality in skating, you can tell how smart he is by what tricks he does. everytime you see new footy of him it always shows so much work put in. so much style and thought while still being unconsciously one of the best of all time
luan- because if i could possess anybody's skating abilities it would have to be him. He is so well rounded, one of the best street technicians, pops,flicks, and rides faster and cleaner than 95 percent of people today, and nearly all of his flatground tricks make everyone elses look like shit...also he nollie bsflipped a handrail the hardway speeding fast, bolts like it was off a curb, and skates tranny switch in contests. nuff said.
also of course: herman, cory kenn, gravette (another great personality that shines thru his trick selection, funny i even heard an interview with jerry were he says a lot of kids say him and gravette are their 2 fav skaters)
Legends: carroll, gonz, heath, jeremy klein, marc johnson, arto.....i honestly appreciate 95 percent of pro's and 85-90 percent of am's, that's why i never understand the amount of hating on these forums cuz even the dudes im not really into, im still psyched and can appreciate something from their footy. i get psyched just watchn kids skate in my neighborhood if theyre decent
