Lanky Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Im interested in the views of fellow neowinians who skate. Tell me who your favourite skaters are and what your favourite tricks are. Heres mine : skaters = stefan janoski, anthony pappalardo and scott johnson,. tricks = switchbackside flip, switch varial heel, switch backtail variety's and nollie frontside flip.

baseballpro9 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hawk with the 900...its completley unheard of Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/193735-skate-favourite-skater-and-favourite-trick/#findComment-2540763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 Many other skaters have tried the 900 and have got close. Brazilian Sandro Diaz can do it and does it much better, seeing his style is like 100 times better than Tony Hawks. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/193735-skate-favourite-skater-and-favourite-trick/#findComment-2548684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

imtoomuch Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I'm not a skater, but I respect Tony Hawk 100%. He got skateboarding to where it is today. Without Tony Hawk, skateboarding would have never been as popular as it is. Tony Hawk = THE Man.

Lanky Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 Tony Hawk has certainly increased skateboardings publicity and the amount of commercialism in the sport although it can be argued whether this is good or not. Obviously he has added to the vert/ramp parts of skating aswell.

multimediatechy Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I love watching the XGames when they are on. People just up the stakes higher every year. When Tony Hawk and Andy MacDonald do the doubles it is really impressive. There are so many good skaters to pick a favourite.

mr.phrodo Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Bastian Salabazi is one awesome skater, but Rodney Mullen is the king, the stuff he can do is just not human.

BroChaos Veteran Posted August 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2004 i don't think anything can top tony's 900. considering it was in what, in 1999, and most people still can't do it. plus the birdman is getting up there in age too. he's the man, plain and simple. and he's the perfect role model for the sport. i have a lot of other fav skaters though.

multimediatechy Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 anyone here played Tony Hawk's Underground game. I've not played it in a while but it featured all the great skaters, and tricks. I think it was more thought out than the usual tony hawk series of games. Its a must have if your into skateboarding I think :) When you get really good at doing the more complex tricks you can make your skater do handstands, unusual grinds and manuals. I also like the darkslide trick ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/193735-skate-favourite-skater-and-favourite-trick/#findComment-584328041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
