Top Five Skateboarders
- #1. Jerry Hsu- A true ripper. One of the first to b/s noseblunt a handrail. Does great f/s boardslie pop outs. Dresses up in pink bunny suits. Member of the Tilt Mode Army. Has a great b/s overcrook. Turned pro at 17. Takes a slam like no one else. Has a great sense of humor.
- #2. P.J. Ladd- Have you seen this guy's part in the Coliseum video? You better because it just happens to be one of the most innovative video parts ever. These are some of the tricks he does: tailslide f/s 270 kickflip out, switch heel f/s nose bigspin out, b/s 5-0 kickflip b/s 5-0 on the same ledge, f/s 360 heelflip down about 8 stairs, and some harder tricks too. Had the same pair of shoes throught the whole part. The only American on the Flip team. He's also an AM!
- #3. Jayme Fortune- Knows every flip trick in the book and can do most of them into a grind. Just check out his part in Uprising or Opinion. You'll see. Nollie flips like nobody's business. Gets techer than tech and gnarly too. Flips into handrails and has great switchstance skills.
- #4. Diego Bucchieri- One of the gnarliest skaters out there. Has a killer b/s 180 and the meanest f/s 360 ollie. Has cleared gaps bigger than Hillary Clinton's ego. Truly underated and a really nice guy. Style for miles. Have you seen the b/s 180 down Wallenberg? Word.
- #5. Rodney Mullen- A tad on the compulsive side but the most innovative skater ever. How did he invent tricks like the kickflip and impossible? He didn't read any trick tips. They came from his head. His skating 20 years ago was beyond the limits of most skaters now. And his skating now is so uncomprehensible that it makes you sick. Check the On Video or Opinion to see. Thanks Rodney.
