Another list-random-names topic that inevitably devolves into discussing the same people, regardless of the theme. It happens a few times a fiscal quarter.

Without reading this thread, I guarantee someone has said Luke Croker (edit: I just checked... two mentions!).

Let's all just go back to the 'Where Are They Now?' topic dudes.

i wanted to start the thread about names that arent mentioned and were prepped by sponsors to become the next big thing. there were sick skaters like massimo cavedoni but his trajectory wasnt same like tony tave being jokingly called "poor man's koston" or dyson ramones being picked up by stereo/duffs/? and appearing in every issue for a small window of time.

devine calloway was (city stars), then disappeared, then reappeared (that transworld video), then disappeared, then reappeared (primative).

justin schulte is umm, on element and mountain dew just sort of being so cal and being in lifestyle images for mtn dew photo shoots. hes cooperative so he gets paid. trevor colden was the worst. we all know its corny and you signed up for it so just show up, doesnt even have to be on time. tiago is the best. i only know that shit cause i worked for the agency in charge of that shit and i edited the photos that go on carboard cut outs, generic instagram posts, and shit like that.

fuuuuck the north video with ted degros was heavy. then he went to santa cruz after alien, right? was it his attitude? that cab nollie heel tripped me out as a kid.

abdias riveria, so there was this wallride photo on slap maybe a year ago. was that shit real?

damien bravo doesnt really apply to this list but i thought it strange that his name is printed on the Since Day One box but he doesnt appear in it.

i always thought kids who were on baker or flips were always going to be a big deal when i was a kid, but hmm.

I saw Ted De Gross and Sid Melvin already but yeah, wanted to see more from them. Eric Bork went on to become some christian minster now turned youtuber which sucks cause he had serious potential (see his Santa Cruz Uprising part), Bryan London was a big one for me, he was so ahead of his time. He was switch flip front nosesliding handrails in like 2000.

Massimo Cavedoni, Devine Calloway, Tony Tave, Nick Trapasso,  and the list goes. Even though I know where most of these dudes are now,they all had their shine
Tave and Trapasso absolutely made it, especially Trapasso, he has at least one legendary part and 2 other really good ones.

It's also hard to compare guys who were huge but then really fell off like Antwan and Trainwreck.

I feel this screams of guys who got on big companies and never went pro. Ben Sanchez and Shamil Randle are the first two guys that come to mind.

Anthony Mosley and Jeremiah Vance. Both of those guys were going to be “the next big thing” and then disappeared. I remember thinking Jason Jones was going to be a big name pro one day.

Jeremiah Vance was okay but for that era, he wasn't going big enough on rails and his fliptrick game was weak compared to people like Evan Hernandez, Paul Rodriguez, and even Mikey Taylor.

Scott Kane's footage in his Logic part probably destroys everything Vance ever did, but I think it shows a pretty clear picture of how he probably wasn't going to be able to keep up:

Jason Jones fucked up by showing up pros at spots they got enders at. Didnt he boardslide that giant blue rail Heath was trying at the end of Sight Unseen? Uci rail,right?

Tave fucked up by going to LE and Trapasso fucked up by starting LE and trying to get Toy riders on. Although I get your point,to me these dudes were at their peak or about to hit it,and just went down.

True story I saw on instagram and didn't think it would have been taken down but anthony Mosley owes derrick Wilson $80, andderrick is not happy he's been ducking non do he called him out. Wish I would have screen grabbed it. Too funny.

Yeah, he boardslid it. Apparently Heath called him after he saw the footage? I know there was also a Heath quote about “some adio kid in a yellow shirt” showing him up. He could’ve been talking about Carlos Ruiz, but Jason Jones definitely fit that description.

For the idiots like me who just started paying attention, and it's not readily available on here (aka i dont know how to search for the topics),

What happened to Alex "Trainwreck" Gall? Links? Screen grabs? Is he on insta? Any chance of a lead? Just the fax maam.

He became a train conductor and crashed and everybody died... It was all over the news buddy...

Good looking on that TWreck lead, I totally thought he killed all those people in that accident

Also...but less known..
They mentioned this dude on the 9 Club and he definitely missed the boat, this is from 2005!


He has really good lines and there ain't 1 non bolt trick when that really was just starting to be your favorite skater's standard, i'm assuming, of course.

Damn, that's a good one! I know he's still cruising around getting some footage, but it seemed like he'd be a bigger thing by now. Didn't he have some sort of falling out with the WKND dudes? That might have hurt him in some way. Always liked his skating.

Most of those assumptions of his wealth come from the fact that his mom is Jemeker Thompson, don't they?

If de gros and stenger came out 3 years earlier they woulda have caught on but the tide had changed on that type of skating and the thing at that time was starting to be more image-y  than to be technically amazing (prolly same with cale nuske)   anyway just a theory.
