It's completely different, I think. It's all preference, though, so if you don't see a difference who cares.

O well is like 80% diferent not completly, but I like the actual Vasek with the massive moves in each run

Felix Z: I like to much is shred style, he use to many dirence tricks like: PS Whirl > PS Whirl > Spender > infinity > Spining rake > butterfly > food processor > spining whirl > ducking/diving/weaving/zulu run > blur> legbeater > blizzard > toe blur> trpiwalk .....etc.....

Jorden M: Jorden massive moves are the shit

Jim P: extremely faster on his runs, agreesive style

Ales Z: extremely faster on his runs, agreesive style too but his Beta Bed's are the Shit

Takumi has my favorite style. Other players with styles that I enjoy watching are Jorden, Henry, Aleksi, Vasek 04 (or whatever year that was with the 100 bars video), current Vasek, Lise Thuygsen, Matt Cross, Ken, Dave, Richie...

Vasek, Sudderman, Andrew Grant, Takumi. No particular order, except for Vasek. I actually don't think it's a subjective thing at all... Vasek is the best. Best style, best tricks, best form... best. There's lots of good players though

Lon Smith still has the most style. Ive seen him use so many different styles in the same circle!! Ridiculous!

I'd never seen a Johny Suderman vid until yesterday. I guess I was living under a rock. So my list is now:
Nasty Nate
Lon
Johnny

In no particular order, but maybe leaning towards Johnny a teense.

Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 14 Feb 2008 10:57

Vasek, Pete, Lon, Dave, Felix, Johnny, Flash, Sunil.

Probably in that order.

In no particular order:

-Vasek, Luis Monhollon, Lon Smith, Toni Pakkonnen (sp?), Juho, Johnny Suderman, Lee Van Sickle

Post by **Zac Miley** » 14 Feb 2008 12:59

Oh man, I forgot about Lee! Add him to mine too!

PÃ¤Ã¤kkÃ¶nen

For me it'll always be the styles I used to watch for hours on end on vhs video. Ryan, Brian McKenzie, Ahren and Sunil. Most of the time you could only see the figure of the player and the color of his shorts but you still could recognise all the players by their styles.

Jimpenske · Post by **Jimpenske** » 14 Feb 2008 15:36

Rippin
Mulroney
Ahren Gehrman
Chad
Ales

Lon Smith
Jorden
Vasek
Cleaver

Clavens. My favorite style by far. I think its a combination of the toe game, and the rhythm that gets me.

RawSko · Post by **RawSko** » 14 Feb 2008 19:10

If this thread is about style, I think a definition of style is in order. What does "style" mean to you? What's important in a player's style?

For me
Absolutely the most important thing when I think of style: Form. That is the deciding factor on whether this person is good to watch or not. Variety is important, but you will look like shit (nomatter what trick you do) if you don't have good form. I like to watch players that look good when they play. This includes standing up straight, clean sets, not-retarded arms, and smooth motion. I like variety and all, but a good clean blender by somebody who looks like an athlete when they play is better (IMO) than a sloppy, cracked-out food processor any day; or even a super unique high add. Form>everything else.

Veriety comes second on my list of importance, but there's still a big gap between 1st and 2nd most important.

Anyone disagree?

Style is what you think looks cool. It can't be defined really, except personally.
