NT, who is your favorite skateboarder of all time?

Christian Hosoi

He invented the Christ Air and Rocket Air. One of the best vert skaters of all time and had epic battles with his rival Tony Hawk in the 80's, Hawk being the more technical skater and Hosoi being the one with most style and flair. Its a shame his speed addiction was his downfall. He was a great inspiration in the game of skateboarding to a lot of 80's babys on the WestCoast and in Hawaii. peep the documentary on netflix "Rising Son".

I haven't skated in so long I have to go with the old school boys from my younger years. Mark "Gator" Rogowski, Mike McGill, and Lance Mountain.
 
not really the best site to ask this question considering most are gonna say koston, p-rod  or other obvious choices..

for me its gotta be guy mariano or gino 2 of the smoothest styles .. nd il give an honerable mention to brian wenning... the era between Alien Workshops Photosynthesis to the DC Video for me was the best.. also Mike carrol and josh Kalis..
