First: probably John Lucero, most likely due to graphics as opposed to skateboard stylings. I remember liking Lance Mountain, Neil Blender, and Gonz from the little bits of video and magazines that I saw.

Current: Pontus Alv. Art, diy, neck high no complies, Pontus is doing cool shit.

Always: Julien Stranger and Karma Tsocheff

Zeb Robinson · « **Reply #91 on:** April 10, 2014, 03:06:10 PM »

First: Muska or Smolik or anyone from Fulfill the Dream really.

Now: Westgate, Herman and Cory Kennedy

Always: Penny. Gino. Reynolds. Oyola.

First: Heath Kirchart

I started skating when The End just came out. Whenever I saw Heath in Transworld, 411, etc. it was always quality / gnarly. Also, I always identified with his loner persona. Glad to see that image of him still stands to this day with the social media saturation.

Current: Dylan.

What else is there to say that hasn't already been said other than that he claims Westminster. The part of Westminster we're from you could get away with claiming Huntington Beach (literally a few blocks away), but he kept it real.

Prospect: Johan Stuckey
This was one of the random names I saw on the berrics/ride channel that I initially wrote off. I watched Cosmic Vomit 2 because of (EX-TEAMMATE) Austyn Gillette and was blown away by Johan's part / Grant's editing. The WKND boards have been sold out for some time now, I hope they make it.

I kinda wanted to say Johan too and I'm surprised he doesn't get more exposure, he fits in with the dylans and austyns (which are pretty much clones) and he was in the same video that put Blake Carpenter on the map, and that's all in addition to him being in the game for years on years, I honestly don't know why he hasn't blown up yet, he's pretty sick

First transworld mag I bought was the one with cardiel doing a trick on a bank . Jeremy Wray had a Pro interview in it .
He came off like a really humble and nice guy , the interview had art drawn by him , and the tricks he got for the interview
were simply mind blowing . I didnt know you could do that one a skateboard and I almost thought they were edited / fake

I also saw second hand smoke around that time and the FS flip at carlsbad was just insane , as was the kickflip he did out of the bowl and many of the other tricks he did for that part

Tom Penny was also a fav of mine , no explonation needed for why right ?

These days I cant pick , but back in the day , J wray and T Penny

First: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (still embarrassed), but first serious single skater obsession was Rodney Mullen.

Mid: Tom Penny.

Current: Gonz. I have a top five/ten, but it will always go back to Gonz for me now. I probably skate more like Natas, but that is why I like Gonz, because I want what I don't have.

The Muffin Man · « **Reply #107 on:** April 11, 2014, 11:37:34 PM »

Cardiel: first video was Sight Unseen. I loved the music and how crazy his axle stall on the beam was.

Westgate: pure shredding. Pop and power. The best of the new breed.
