Ricky Moran, Justin Dale, Ken Somolinos, and Ales Zelinka

RickyM- Because he was cool to hang with at worlds and @ seattle his 80 contact run was inspiring.

Justin D- His style is awesome, and he helped me with stepping.

Ken S- He's plain out awesome, his style and attitude.

Ales- His style by far is my favorite and he had no bias that i wasn't up to his level and what not he still hung out... even though i'm 15.

80 contacts!! thats insane!! but not unexpected from Ricky heheh

im gonna add Johnny Murphy and Jim Penske to my favourite players, if they werent there already

Johnny because he is nice guy and has awesome moves and style.. im not sure what it is about it.. it seems lazy yet controlled at the same time.. everything is clear and i feel i could learn alot by watching...

Penske cos his style is fucking amazing! i love it when he is ripping tripless strings or 5s or whatever, its so aggressive and phat

GF Smoothie - He's helped me out lots every time I've seen him, and I enjoy watching his smooth style with tricks that others don't use. Pincher ATW, his arm rolling stuff, ect.

Outsider - He helped me figure out what I needed to know to start hitting dragons at worlds, and I'm already better with them, both sides,then my clippers. Woohoo! I love the dragons and the rolling tricks he does, and I'm in awe of anyone who can hit anchor.

Genzu - I got to see him hit some two bag tricks at Worlds and enjoyed it enough to put him on my list. I've also seen vids with some pixie shuffle runs, which I like because its resembles my style the most right now even though I'm working on a shift towards Jon's dragons and GF's pinchers.

Irish - I'm in awe of his footbag skills and his juggling skills. Three with the feet and three with the hands at the same time? WFT! I want to see that live sometime.

While I admire all shreders that bust sick tricks and runs, these are the ones I admire the most because they do stuff that is different and stylish in my oppinion, and I would like to be like them more. Oh, I almost forget Pinkus, but I'm moving away from trying tricks like that now. I still want to hit warp before I die.

easy...

yves- the shuffle king. i envy his super skinny legs that don't get in the way of what ever it is he's doing. seeing him shuffle at footjam made me want to work my shuffle hard. playing with him every day i was in berlin only made want to work it more.

ales- his clean controlled style mixed with difficult and eye pleasing combos is a huge inspiration. his teachings and encouragement have helped my game alot and have changed my style for the better.

ryan- his energy that i have observed through videos always makes me want to get up and shred. his natural style i think is among the best, and his links are so cool.

the other obvious 2, derek and erik. no need to say why.

Ales: best style in the world
Lon: best flow in the world
Chris Pinkus: best toe game.
Vasek: best clipper game.

my favorite of all time

ahren gehrman, such a hein shredder, still being fortunate that have been able to shred with him in the same circle in euro masters in paris 2000 and witness insanity (5 blurry whirls in a row / something like 15 atom smashers in a row, long strings with numerous 5 adders, had never seen such tricks hit live at that time).

jim penske - his style is so aggresive and badass looking. it's smooth and controlled and whenever I watch him I always find myself thinking "he looks so badass". And amazingly he's a totally chill guy that is good to smoke herbs with

big add chad - he is my top choice of all the big names. he's SO cool to hang out with and play foursquare and stuff. oh, and he remembered my name! WHOA! Also his style is unmatchable.

matt cross - I looooove his style and he's a swell guy to hang around.

Combine those three and you have the style I want.
