    I think everyone skater back in the day had a Hosoi poster in his or her room doing a tweeked out method or judo air. That or his signature move the "christ air". Talk about some old school, he use to give Tony Hawk a run for his money back in the 80s.

    Personally, my favorite veteran is freestyle skater Rodney Mullen. To this day, it is hard to find a person that can do what he can do on a skateboard and make it look so easy. I dont even think I have ever seen this guy crash or even mess up a trick.

      I stand corrected. In the video I posted he falls off he board twice. Once when a dog started chasing him, and twice at the end of the video, he stumbles off after completing his trick. Still, the fluency he has doing multiple tricks in a row is just amazing.
