Your Favorite Fake-Skater

[Muhzzy]

I thought it'd be cool to see who everyone's favorites are in the community.

Top 3? Top 5? Top whatever. All time? Doesn't matter which option you choose.

For me, I'd say my top are: (not in order)

-Sickone- ridiculous filming, editing and outstanding, jaw-dropping skating.
-NotedDerk- UG master, solid skating, boss.
-momadaddy- best at unusual spot-hitting, solid filming, talented thumbs..... Lol
-Granka- speed demon, lucifer's skating step-son, nasty tricks.
-Boxerman- his edits and filming make me jealous, and his skating is too smooth.
-Wiltzuh- what else is there to say? Wiltz is amazing at everything when it comes to skate
-Saunders- That dude rips and he's the hippy flip god. His edits make his videos even better. Definitely one of my favorites.

[GSB MLP I-XL]

*NOT IN ORDER*

-Wiltzuh- Had some of the best fake-skating in the game! Sad to see him leave.
-4RN4UD- Currently the best filmer imo. Nice and chill tricks.
-Granka- I'm not that much into Satanic stuff but still, his last video was hands down the best solo I've ever seen.
-Goon Panda- I'm working on a video with him and I see him put down some crazy stuff.
-Muzzy- Creative videos and insane trick selection. Your last solo blew my mind.

[Muhzzy]

Definitely agree with you when you say Arnaud has the best filming.

[i am a snail]

currently i'd have to give it to:

Kanen (yes i know, shut up his more recent OG videos were god tier)
4RN4UD/Snowable/whatever you're going by (you've gotten so much better holy shit i remember you when you first came in and now you're just wow oh my god you're so good)
Boxer (good friend and he lights a fire under me every time he pushes out a part i swear to god)
Jean-o (literally zero peers in the game in regards to edits, he does so much crafty shit with s2)
VP (how has he consistently found new spots in a dead game so often)

there's probably a lot more that i could name that i'm forgetting right now

also me. because i'm the best.

HOODLUM!!!

[crni1976]

forgot about

That pretty much sums it up I guess. Of course I have my favorites (maybe I will come back to this to do some namedropping), but numerous people put out tons of amazing footage over the years, so it would be very challenging to remember some of these gems or the creative spirits that made it happen, especially since plenty of people deserving an honourable mention might have dropped out a long time ago. Also, traffic on here has been sparse lately, which resulted in a limited number of people catching some exposure. Perception is a tricky thing.

wouldnt say they are my favourites, but there are quite a few i enjoy watching more then others

[NotedDerk]

Momadaddy - That mo fo always surprises me with new spots, doing it all with one hand as well.
EternalRewind - He's my doppelganger, I think, love everything he puts out.
VirtualParadise - Smooth as can be on top of finding unique spots, crazy good editor.
im006 - My initial inspiration, back in the og era, always found the most amazing roof gaps.
Granka/H TIO - Does all the same type of stuff I do, but twice as fast, can't beat it. That's what she said!

They're all great in their own way, and at least two of them are still around, thank god for that.

and you're quickly becoming one of my favorites Muhzzy, can't wait to see what you put out next.

[Granka]

My all time favorite: Eflixxx - Because for me he showed a new way of skating and a new way to hit spots.
Stevland - Because he's the master of gaps and has always been a huge inspiration for me since S2.
Cookiesupporter - Because he goes faster than me and is at the same time 1000 times more tech than me. And because he's the fucking homie!
TheBullet - Because of how innovative he's always been.
Knex - Because he's fucking Knex!
Demz - Because no one else pays so much attention in animations as he does!
Perm - Because he's as innovative like TheBullet, but in a more ridiculous way. And he has a great vision for skating.
Wiltz - Because he can skate basically every way there is and he's been a great supplier of videos to watch and great CAPs to skate! A-grade flucker!
Momadaddy - Because the dude has a great style and amazing unique tricks.

[momadaddy]

derk: love the way he hits spots and refuses to use sketchy stuff
TNO: best overall fake skater imo. from skating, editing, filming, creating parks. dude does it all and does it all great. plus he had been around forever
Bullet: he is what he is. no body can do the stuff he does
slamooh: the definition of clean without looking robotic. also creative as fuck
knex: it's just knex. enough said
Granka: speed demon

i have favorite people i have known from over the years from chattting and whatnot but this is strictly video wise

[emericaridr11]

1. Manalo: most unique Filming ever, great edits too... its all about the pre update/patch Motion Blur

2. Southy: FUCKING INSANE Animation guru

3. BobbyDigi: Best solo ive ever seen, another Animation Guru

4. Jean-Olive: nothing but Class!!!!!!

5. Roke: another unique guy with filming, fun edits

6. Prowlin: for the Homeboy Award

[XImortalDEATHX]

NotedDerk- Way he hits some things in any of the games can be jaw dropping at times.
VirtualParadise-An amazing mix of creativity and pure style with a way to hit spots no one's thought about hitting.
Sickone-Edits from him are refreshing and stand out like no other, with a style rarely done.
Wiltzuh-Amazing edits, incredible style and makes rather difficult tricks seem effortless.
Saunders-Sheer effortlessness with anything he does and he makes it a treat.

In no order whatsoever. I'm sure I could think of more but these are guys I always watch whenever they put something out.

[Goon_Panda]

-Goon Panda- I'm working on a video with him and I see him put down some crazy stuff.

<3

Ayreon - Really cool tech tricks, his videos never cease to amaze me.
Granka/H TIO - I just love his style of filming and skating.
Luft - His tranny skills blow my mind.

Those are the first 3 that come to mind. I'm not going to name which of them is my favourite though as it's very hard to choose between them.

EDIT: SmurfedYah - The things he can do to spice up the look of his videos are great.

[Muhzzy]

You said momadaddy does it all with one hand? Is that just a joke or.... I'm confused. Haha.

[NotedDerk]

No, he really does. He can explain it better to you then I can.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bONRl2RqQ

The end of that video shows you how he plays, he says it's actually easy, but I can't do it, I tried, haha.

[Jebotek]

hah, i do all kinda inward heels like that
but only because i cant do them with my right hand, works way better for me to use the left thumb for certain tricks

[Muhzzy]

No, he really does. He can explain it better to you then I can.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bONRl2RqQ

The end of that video shows you how he plays, he says it's actually easy, but I can't do it, I tried, haha.

Oh wow! That's crazy, haha. What a boss

[crni1976]

3)Knex-when ever you need inspiration,look no further he always pushes the limits and nearly breaks the game engine,somehow he makes the map look new every time.
4)TNO-The reason i got involed in this madness from the start,first vid of skate i ever watched was his,the next day i had a cap card.
5)Corey Webster-first double grind i ever saw,it was like wait a minute,you can trick the game and do things you arent supposed too? sign me up.he was always inspiring me to find ways of doing tricks that i thought were impossible.

Forgot about you on my list bruv.

I ain't on no one's list either so.

[Antwan]

All of them. :)

No denying we all fueled each other's productions in a way or another.

[knexzor]

Thought about this for a little bit longer than I'd like to admit...
There's no way I could limit my response to just a couple. So many people came and went that inspired me in so many ways that I can't narrow it down without feeling inadequate about it.

Now, to not be overly cliche and boring, I'll mention the one person I recall as my number one favourite:
Skelli. The wreckless genius. As far as I know there's not a single clip in any of his videos that isn't extraordinary.

Honestly though, if I ever commented on your video, or interacted with you, man, you're on the fucking list. We all made this what it was(/is).

[Antwan]

I Think you said it best Knex.

Ah skate, nothing else like it, will miss this shit.
