I think Tommy G. was all style and only style. No substance. In my opinion, Guerrero is a class B pro skater. He is nowhere near Gonzales or Kaupus. Those guys were pushing the envelope with daredevil stunts putting their family jewels on the line everyday. Guerrero won contests by playing it safe. Iam happy that he found a daytime job. Music. Go Tommy G. Go.
@reastedd Gonzales, Kaupas and Mullen are miles above any other pro. All who came before and after are ALLLLLLL class B pros! Oh oh oh and Mike Vallely best aggressive/thrash street skater of times.
@mhks68 Vallely is a daredevil. He skates fast and hard. Tommy G on the other hand does deep knee bends and flails his arms around to distract the viewer from his lack of guts.
@reastedd the problem with that statement is Guerrero was really good, just as Gonzales and Kaupus were for their time. No one doubts that Gonz and Natas were more progressive ... we knew that back then. but Guerrero was still my favorite. I thought he was more fun to watch. he was certainly more consistent. truth is, in the 80's, there wasn't much that Gonz and Natas did than Guerrero and Hosoi couldn't.
if i went to wallenburg i wouldnt ollie the four. i would skate the fucking last step as a ledge and do a slappy noseslide dedicated to tommy gurerro.
i don't care how big fuckers go these days; skateboarding will never be as techy as blind -video days, plan b --questionable, world industries- rubbish heap, h street- hokus pokus.
Are you kiddin? This part is typical tommy g - smooth as hell. Look at those 180 backside ollies going fast as hell. I'm 10X more stoked on this then most of fully flared.
skateboarding will never platuea out..........most of the things done today have already been done on a ankle high curbin late 80's early 90's, nowadays its the gnar factor, things can always get gnarlier even when you think you saw the gnarliest thing ever.........SKateboarding will never die(unless we go with it)
It's important to remember that skating in '93 was almost completely dead. Skating was just getting out of the vert bust (and Gator's murder)...only a handful of people in any city skateboarded. So people weren't pushing each other like they are now. What was "hard" then is easier now. What's hard now might be "easier" ten years from now.
Also, you have to remember that '93 was the genesis of modern street skating. Gonz had started it in the mid '80s with Natas...still wasn't "modern" though.
I totally agree, except for the "whats hard now might be easy ten years from now" part, even though you said "might" I still think what tommy was doing compared to kenny peth who does front blunt forward flip 360 body varials out is still going to be hard 10 years from now unlike the founders of modern street who skills are easily matched now, what I think is that skateboarding will plateau for quite a while until a new style comes from no where to challenge everyone again
Maybe.But try to imagine what people thought watching Natas or Gonz in in the late '80s/early '90s. There are a lot of sponsored AMS today who can boardslide that kinked rail Gonz does. But in '91 I guarantee you skaters thought that shit would never be topped. Or take Carlsbad. I remember when Wray frontside flipped it in '95...blew my mind. Now people skate that like a normal gap...it's blown out...a new trick doesn't send shock waves. Still tough as shit to clear, but almost commonplace.
I don't know about you, but I'm kind of hoping some of this crass commercialization of skateboarding will go away. I'm sort of wishing skateboarding will be dead in ten years. It'll leave the core people around.
i seriously think its all amental thing. i think anyone in the world is already pro they just need to know it , wnd we find that knoledge thru expirience , our friends push us far enough to find that knoledge. in 10 years things will look easy an
i kinda agree with you.. i too think that skateboarding mostly is a mental thing, if you can get the whole trick together in your head, you can do it in real life. of course you need to have control and practice, but once you have that, its all about how you focus about the trick in your head. thats how skateboarding is progressing from the 70 to today, we see new stuff all the time, and then we start thinking about new stuff, and do it..
tommy rips, but i gotta say, compared to the steet skating bit in 'future primitive' this kinda lags. it's like he let go of much of that personal style and creativity of those footloose and fancy-free days to embrace the more rigid and standardized tricks of the early 90's. maybe it was the peer pressure. yeoyee! guess i just miss the 'surfy' lines and long takes.
This may sound stupid but is this the same Tommy Guerrero who makes music!? Probably sounds a bit dumb of me but i am just unsure. If so then this guy is a legend. Any feedback to my question is appreciated.
i like how all these little ass clowns compare every skater to one person. every skater has a different style. shut up. you can't compare john cardiel and mark gonzales even though they're both great skaters. once again, STOP comparing everyone to your favorite tony haw's pro skater character.
Whoa, I hate small wheels. Anything smaller than 57mm is too slow for me. It just gets silly, especially watching Tommy go downhill in those tiny tiny wheels.
kuzzleduzzle: Tommy has always been about style, and style is impressive in any era - to me, anyway. There's plenty of room for the gnarly stuff that was in the Plan B vids AND the kind of smooth, soulful skating Tommy was doing when those guys were in diapers...
True, but for TG it's rad. He's got one of the top 3 styles ever imho and this is definitely better than his Powell parts in Public Domain and Ban This.
