Rising Hopefuls Who Never Made It

[Allez_Jambon]

Man, fuck. There were so many people with a lot of promise that different companies tried to set up for stardom, then like what happened? I guess this is a "WHAT HAPPENED TO..." thread but reserved for people we sort of forgot about and weren't legends.

Victor Foronosh was set from Shorty's but then what? Shorty's wasn't popular?

Dyson Ramones? I'm watching the 411 where Gonz did the artwork and like, shit. I remember a lot from him.

Terrell Robinson was getting hype, and then I haven't heard anything from him until he did that fucked up bs 360 kickflip recently.

[Francis Xavier]

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

Jimmy Cao ()

When he first came on the scene his blend of tech and smooth as butter style blew me away.

I think a lot of them had the talent but didn't have the representation. It's a shame because great style masters (eric fletcher) were left in the dust while soft SoCal lames with skate dads were able to maneuver into career spots (Mikey Taylor).

[cosmicgypsies]

half the dudes in 411vm am chaos

its weird to see the people who've made it ripping next to the people who've disappeared off the face of the planet. sean payne had that crazy bs flip in this 411 vid



janoskis line with the fs flip, switch flip, switch nosegrind 180 is so fucking smooth. also joey pulsifer? different vid but he had this rapid three ollies up onto a series of ledges, another one into nose manny and then nose mannied down the next 3 ledges and flipped out. same vid had micah hollinger with a nice nosegrind shuv up a bench and AA with a flip blunt?

Grant Taylor's dad was a pro skateboarder.
I didn't think Mikey Taylor's was?

[art hellman]

Massimo Cavedoni

[Salty Lame Ass Poosey]

Justin Case the valleys finest

[Jacob Gary]

Matt Allen, I think it was because he's kind of kooky? He was right up there with Leo in this is skateboarding.

[Allez_Jambon]

Everen Stallion. He had that good intro to Mystery part. Didn't he go to jail? Wasn't he related to Devine Calloway. Maybe his brother or am I reading it incorrectly? http://skateboarding.transworld.net/magazine-archive/devine-calloway-roll-call/

I think Robbie Mckinley just decided to pack it up and didn't concern himself with it

Those 411s are good to have a lot of "oh yeah, that guy" clips but they were more random know what im sayyyin?

Thomas Taylor was Grant's father. Mikey just was in that SHS crew with Paul and well, that's SoCal.

[MintySandwhich]

Brad Staba
Micah Hollinger

Does Pat Burke count?

[planman]

Yeah what the fuck happened to Massimo? He's still listed on the Real website, but he doesn't have an insta and nobody's posted anything relevant under the #90smassimo or #massimocavedoni hashtags in ages. Also, where the fuck is Justin Schulte? He had a unique way of skating spots, or I thought so anyways. Devin fucking Apello? I loved seeing him absolutely jump down shit, he had an amazing part in Hesh Law, Prevent This Tragedy, tried to ollie Clipper, was in CSFU and then kinda just disappeared after 2013.
Luke Croker?
Silent Mike?
Dyson Ramones still skates (really well) and has a kid and is a barber, seems to be happy w/ life.

When Terrell popped up in that Circa thing in Bam's house I was like oh yeh what happened to that guy, wasn't he in "it's time"

[GAY]

I always felt this way about Vinnie Vegas.

Fuck I hope not, but I think the last I saw of Pat was true blue.

No, that was Peter Ramondetta.
Most people would assume you mixed him up with Windsor James, but I'm not that kind of person.



But for real last I saw of him regarding sponsors was some stupid Thrasher back-page brand called Chip skateboards.

Gary Robinson owned a skateshop with my uncle in the late 90s early 00s, they got me started skating back then. Found him on Instagram at some point, he's just living life doing other stuff.

Good skater tho...
