    Mullen! Skate god and invented a ton of tricks.

    Daewon Song a close second, I love watching him skate over rocks and tree stumps just doing stupid stuff. Still going strong at 40 too.

    Raw style and speed Ed Templeton, fun to watch him. Toy Machine is kick ass so is his art.

    Natas / Hawk / Gonz (& Mullen to a degree)
    But in terms of impact in my youth, Natas #1.
    His parts in Wheels / Streets were just inspirational.
    Similar to the Christian Fletcher parts in the Wave Warriors videos...
    MUST GO SURFING RIGHT NOW AND TRY TO THROW MYSELF IN TO SOME UNMAKE-ABLE AIRS!!!

    Gonz is James Brown of skateboards. He kinda really does have to be your favorite. He's definitely mine.

    I love pretty much every skateboarder ever though. Even the jocks.

    Swayze (10 years later): Leigh Petersen! I was too young to know if he was a jerk, he was a few years older than I am, but I skated with him a few times at Metro (RIP, still) and he was great.
    My favorite seattle skaters are 80s Yip Tat (RIP), 90s Scotty Moeller (lived here for a couple years) and if I can include Cory Kennedy (snohomish or somewhere north) I will nominate him as greatest seattle skater of all times. Although there was one summer where I watched Benji destroy the original metal seask8 every night and he was so beyond anything I'd ever seen.

    I loved all the sketchy Burnside OGs too.

    Skateboarding is all that matters in the galaxy. I should skate more!
