Favorite Skater

[JPMDan]

Skateboard or inline? Doesn't matter, post a vid of them in action

Skateboard fave. Rodney Mullen

 

[Michael]

I've always liked Rodney Mullen's style too. I always picked him on THPS.

 

[Stitch]

+1 for Rodney Mullen.
Awesome style, and his sense of humour rules too.

I love his deck designs, especially the orange/blue enjoi. one. Niiiiiiice....

I don't know of a lot of skaters, but I've watched a lot of Rodney's vids and they are badass.

 

[Ancestor]

Kinda unoriginal I guess, but I like to watch vert skating. This is the man:



Look at the size of that fucking ramp!

Rodney kicks ass. Watching him is always jaw dropping. If you haven't already you have to watch the Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song videos!

I'd have to say my favorite so far is probably Bastien Salabanzi. He a black skater from France. I've seen a number of super impressive vids of his and what impresses me the most is just how clean and natural his skating is. He doesn't land shit all sloppy. I couldn't find anything really great of his on youtube but here's something anyway

PS: How do I embed this video? I tried pasting in this but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong here?:

one vote for rodney.

 

[B Lopez]

Rodney for sure. He's the most creative skater Ive ever seen. To see him skate in person is jaw-dropping.

Can I extend this to surfing too? Taj Burrow is the man.

Just put the youtube URL to the video, without the URL brackets around it. It'll automatically embed.

I did put it in without the URL brackets. And it automatically puts them in. If I edit the post and remove them it puts them back in again.

 

[Kagami]

This one always made me laugh, there's some old ass shit on youtube, lol

 

[skinhead]

I played all the THPS games, and i always used Rodney Mullen and Chad Muska. I love the style that has Rodney, he makes some awsome tricks on street.

In vert i like Bob Bournquist, Tony Hawk (classic hehe), Andy Macdonald and Glifberg.

I used to ride BMX, it was very nice sport/hobby. Matt Hoffman, Dave Mirra and Ryan Niquist are the shit

 

[Blexican]

Bob Burnquist is the man.

 

[skinhead]

Bob Burnquist is the man.

Hell yeah!

 

[Luvuvibanez]

Rodney. I actually skate a lot of his "signature" gear, Almost deck, Tensors, etc.

 

[forelander]

Daewon song.

 

[Jeff]

Favorite skater? Easy. Brian Boitano.

 

[FortePenance]

Lol. I like Rodney's style however, Mike Vallely is also one of my favourites.

I want to get back into skating during the summer.

 

[streathervsgodzilla]

rodney mullen definitely i mean the guy invented almost every trick most street skaters use everyday plus his video's are insane,

and props to bob burnquist too
my favourite burnquist video is



drop in down a ramp to like boardslide then base jump into the grand canyon
