it really isn’t :wink:

Prod’s nikes are ugly, they look too tall making the toebox look baggy, the leather always looked plasticy and I would guess was the main influence Prod had was to put the LV style fashion pattern on there which is as bad as adding any oversized mosher graphic to a pair of etnies.

Sorry, how could I forget the swanny!

Muska was up there with crazy rail stuff with Jamie Thomas and Muska had the fashion personality to appeal to kids. Jamie was less of a personality at the time but his influence on Welcome to Hell was HUGE. Jamie made another big mark with the Zero era too.

What he’s wearing in the In Bloom Part are a lot better than his latest part with the wild colouring with a nod to his previous parts. You still got those Neddy lol.

over a shopping cart in big brother? Out of a curb cut or something if memory serves?

That’s the reason I got some helikon cargos last year :+1:

Lots of times, but he wore that outfit most beautifully in his Big Brother interview, yeah.

Brian Anderson?

Leo Baker.

Marissa (Zero) - way ahead of the curve.

Nora? – feel like she opened up skating a lot to females post Elissa (already mentioned).

Julian Stranger

Frank Gerwer?

Louie Barletta

MJ

Enjoying this thread, just throwing names into the discussion.

Circa demo, Bolton Bones late 90s, huge crowds of kids thronging both sides of the driveway watching Muska try a fs flippy to flatty, he never lands it. Meanwhile Jamie Thomas sits and scowls, and Appleyard skates on his own at the left side of the park, quietly destroying the place for the eyes of no-one.

Edit: maybe the 00s actually. Can’t remember.

Every Circa Demo. Also young Chris Cole trying crazy stuff to entice the kids to no avail.

We have to differentiate between stylers we love to watch and influential skaters.
If there is multiple evidence of people copying style then possibly some stylers could be influential.

Couldn’t find the photo online so just took this photo - Transworld January 2002. There can’t be many skaters who could draw crowds like this. Especially not anymore

I was fully swagged out in Muska gear in 02, though sadly my mum would not buy me his signature jeans.

Being Penny’s room mate at peak Penny didn’t hurt either.

The use of the term room mate always sounds a bit like “My aunt never married, she just lives with her good friend Maureen who comes to every family event”

Alan gelfand?
Can’t recall even seeing a photo of video of him doing an Ollie but have had it drilled into me since I was 14.
Couldn’t even pick him out of a line up. No idea what he looks like
