Who can we mention here?

Tom Penny, Andrew Reynolds and Jereme Rogers. There, I said it.

Now you argue, or find some new names

How did their styles get worse? They just wear different clothes...

peacepappies · « **Reply #2 on:** January 25, 2007, 02:55:39 AM »

agree on jereme rogers.

Farger · « **Reply #3 on:** January 25, 2007, 03:09:15 AM »

Well, not because of their style of course, but I must say that their new "clothing" doesn't exactly help. If you look at Tom Penny from the ss fs flip carlsbad/ss flip over handrail/tsa days, and look at him now, I would definetly say he's showing more sketchyness. I mean, he's showing more variety in his trick selection, but things just look sketchy, and his hat, shoes and his clothes seem to contain a sketchyness that Penny didn't use to have. Don't get me wrong, he lands most of his stuff clean, but still, it isn't like watching the good old Penny.

And then we have Reynolds. He was so more enjoyable to watch in the past. Like the Birdhouse/beginning of baker/feedback days. Just look at his fs 5-0 down that rail in all black, or his fs flip the trippelset in "The End" or his kickflip down that big 5 in Feeback, then look at his 50-50 in Baker 3 "On top of that yellow rail" and his ss pushing with arms all up in the air etc, etc. And like I said, I liked him better when he was a little baggier, seemed to have somewhat of a smoother style then.

So Penny: lose the cursed hat, big shoes, baggy pants and sweaters and rather pick up some of the old clothes.

And Reynolds: Start pushing like you used to, and do tricks the way you did them before, with that extra bit of style thrown into it.

Feel free to disagree, seeing how this is only my opinion

Andrew Reynolds

just as good as ever

Farger · « **Reply #5 on:** January 25, 2007, 03:25:00 AM »

I'm not sayng he isn't as good, or even better now, that's not the point of this thread. But if you mean that he skate just as smooth now as then, or smoother, then that's your opinion

vitunvesa · « **Reply #6 on:** January 25, 2007, 03:39:25 AM »

reynolds is amazing, my favorite
but I totally see your point
anyhow he can do whatever he wants and I can't wait to see new footage of him
people change but he's still the same in my eyes

rogers isn't little kid anymore and actually he's style got worse when he grew up

penny is penny.

I guess there has been a thread like this before..?
and I guess a lot people mentioned James Graig after his What If part...I guess noone will say his name anymore in here now that his Get Familiar part is here to stay...

justafan · « **Reply #7 on:** January 25, 2007, 04:05:01 AM »

i d say reynolds skill level just got out of control. he s not even human in my eyes- more like a cat or some other catlike animal. it s crazy.
i agree that bagier pants and clothes may help a little. but if you like his skating or not, he s a veteran and it shows; something i admire a lot, because he s still pushing it even though he s in a position where he could take it easy.
when his switch pushing may look a bit out of control, think about the fact that he s hitting something big; considering that his pushing is just fine.

penny has a different style nowadays. he got older and gone through a lot, so his body may not feel as good as it used to. if they left out a few tricks in his really sorry section, people probably wouldn t complain that much, cause the majority of his shit is butters.
his clothing is a different story. i can t get over it and continue to hope a change for the better will come some day.

i still like all of the people i m about to mention, but still in my opinion jamie thomas style got worse though, also kostons and carrolls, freddy galls, jereme rogers as mentioned above, kerry getz, duffy s (how is he these days after his leg thing- hope he s doing better), maldonado, rune (it s pretty on and off though), lopez, evan hernandez, burnquist, im not too sure about tnt, huf and a few other s that don t come to mind.

People and tastes change. It would be rather disturbing if you were exactly like you were 10 years ago. And for all those guys, it's been 10 years of growing up. You are guaranteed to be quite a different person at 30 than you were at 20 years old.

true. but for some it works in one direction, for some in the other. i guess injuries are a key factor- once you have problems with your body that don t go away anymore change has come...

james craig redeemed himself in Get Familiar, that part was sick.

i think fred gall's style was much better before. i really dont like the hand thing he's got going.

sergio · « **Reply #21 on:** January 25, 2007, 05:45:47 AM »

matt field

how does style get worse? then it must be bad from the start. that award goes to pete gardini & ian reid.

mipe · « **Reply #22 on:** January 25, 2007, 07:08:24 AM »

I love to watch creager's stuff from round 2 to his menikmati part, don't know why. His style is still awesome but maybe it's just those clothes he wears (blue jeans, white shirt and a baseballcap)

farger's the bitch at the spot that always mentions what the other's are wearing. if skateboarding is an individual activity, worry about yourself. gear critics need to get the fuck out of skateboarding.

so, basically you dont like his clothes, and that's about it.
