Must've misread the thread title as "unanimously annoying,most irrelevant"

Lance, Cab, Guerrero, Hawk

Co-sign on the Kimbel, although I think he's underrated/unknown to the point where he can't be unanimously loved...yet.

Also, does David Gravette fall into this thread category? I don't think I've heard anyone say anything negative about him. Nothing bad stands out either, he's humble, collected, etc.

Gravette is definitely NOT universally liked. Plenty of people on here kept complaining about him during KOTR

I missed that, what were they complaining about?  And did the post-buttchug proposal happen on King of the Road? I need to catch up on that.

If your last name is Anderson you're basically set.

[close]

Disappointed you didn't even mention one of the best and handsomest Andersons

I think I've subconsciously written him out of my memory ever since...well...I can't go into it here but let's just say I've been blocked on tender by Kanderson.

Does anyone dislike AA or Gerwer?

Andrew Allen in my opinion is one of the most overrated skateboarders, did anyone else watch that 1 minute clip that came out recently? I wonder what Sean Greene would think about that hill bomb...

(I still do like Andrew's skating, there is just others much more deserving of praise)

[close]

One of the most overrated? Please explain that one.

I just did? That hill bomb was ass. If you do more than 3 power slides bombing a hill it shouldn't count. He is some sort of cult hero here and I'm just not sure as to why?

so if they don't get love on Slap they are not worth conversation...seems shallow

[DannyDee]

Before his death, Dylan had a lot of naysayers.

I don't think I can remember people hating on Rick Howard. Cardiel, Reynolds, and Daewon are similar. There are a bunch of rippers most people love, but have detractors. Koston, Mariano, Ave, and Carroll fall into this group.

Of the newer guys, I can't think of anyone who hates on either Ishod or Westgate. Thiago, Wes, Kyle Walker, and Evan Smith also seem universally loved. There are also guys everyone loves their footage, but people hate the fact they rarely put it out such as PJ, and Gino.

So he's one of the most overrated because of a (switch) hill bomb in a one minute  promo clip?

 I'm seriously curious why he's deemed overrated when you look at Boys of Summer, Hockey II, Propeller...his style and trick selection is nice. Backside flip to that near vertical bank in Hockey II hasn't been matched by much at that spot.

Also, if more than 3 powerslides negate bombing a hill, I guess those pussy GX dudes better find a new schtick.

Gonna go with Bobby Worrest

[ChronicBluntSlider]

I noticed in the least deserving SOTY thread that neither Rowley or Arto received a single vote which made me happy. Though I do sort of hate Rowley these days.

[art hellman]

love all the Hjalte mentions!!!

for me my first thoughts were Busenitz Worrest

...but I don't think any of those would come to mind for your average kid out there

[Surf-goth]

I'm with that guy. I don't get the andrew allen hype

Not quite sure you understand the phrase "unanimously loved by all".

Who doesn't love Jeremy Rogers? He rips but on top of that his talent for rap really made him untouchable

He was way cooler when he was on anti hero.  now hes kind of a fashionista and not as good imo.

[Mowoo101]

Andy Mac.













I'll get my coat.

As far as current productive dudes I immediately think him and Delatorre

[heckler]

Some of the names I'm reading are goddamn hilarious. David Gravette is definitely not your favorite skater's favorite skater.

Unanimously not disliked by some would be more accurate
