Dude I did the bushing halving.. It was the craziest years of my life! I had to go back to normalcy for tech love, but it's important to get the feel! Nollie tricks were real fucked up, and actually just threw off the whole game aside from "style" feeling. front feebles are real fuckin hard to get back now. it's perfect for tranny, but at the park, kids will NOT get over the looseness. it's like a gimmick, which my friend stole, then re-upped it with Daewons two washer thing, which he quit too.. its a good ting still.

This thread got me watching the old Stereo and 411 videos. So good. Makes most content theses days look so sterile.

How about some reasons young dudes should watch the geezers? What is it about their skating that you think would appeal to younger guys?
There is definitely a percentage of names listed that I can't see people understanding what's so special about. It's kinda hard for people to really grasp the idea of context in a bygone era.
For example- I got the Toy Machine box set for Christmas when I was 14, and although I understood the importance of Ed Templeton I always skipped over his parts because I felt like his skating peaked at Heavy Metal.

Gailea Momolu

He could make the ugliest tricks look good. I don't remember ever seeing a nollie back 3 shuv in a part other than his because that trick just doesn't look good. Gailea made it look good.

His Battalion part is one of my favorites and a contender for best of the 00-09 decade.
So much style, grace, and insanely tech skating on huge shit.
Dude is SO overlooked.
Wish he produced more footage

I think more appropriately the kids need to be watching these dudes that turned 50 and don't have any sponsors anymore and are working as a janitor and /or smoking crack.  I'm not tryin to point em out,  it they are out there.  Always have a plan b!

back this, ill also add Kenny reed as mentioned before.

[drcroc]

although I understood the importance of Ed Templeton

Ed Templeton just for his ability to skate rails the way he does. (or did)... Speaking of rails, a younger person should (correct me if I'm wrong) know that the first skater to kickflip into a rail (lipslide?) was in fact, Heath Kirchart.
