Frankie Hill. One of the first dudes to skate big gaps and rails. His part in Ban This is amazing.

Ronnie Bertino or Mike Maldonado maybe? Probably more overlooked than underrated actually.

Tom Krauser, Kenny Reed, Evan Schiefelbine......

There were 50 other Tom Krausers in every early 2000's 411 chaos section.

Maybe somewhat of a gray area, but it would seem to my old ass that Jeremy Wray is very underrated in this modern era. Kris Markovich, Karma Tsocheff, Jaya Bonderov, and a few others from that super progressive era too when pro careers seemed to be fairly short vs. the progression which was moving at hyper speed.

That's funny. I don't remember, did they all close their fists before they popped a trick???

My choices are regional and personal (maybe two people on this board will know) Richard Kirby, Fred Reeves, Stormy Pruitt and Alabama Billy Lohrig.

Also Alan Peterson and Andy Howell.

Alan Peterson, and Jaya Bonderov, Wade Speyer, and Phil Shao for sure. If they had ridden for anti-hero people would be all about them now. Drehobl, Bob, and Colin Mckay all get mentioned whenever this discussion comes up, but whatching their parts is usually a good choice.

By no means my favorite skaters, but Machnau and Momolu did some pretty next level shit on handrails that would still be considered gnarly today.
