Favourite skater?
So, longboarding/downhill skating is becoming more and more of a followed sport now days. Watching Win sport on the internet streamed live really brought that home. People all cheering for their favourite riders, their favourite teams and staying up to un godly hours of the morning to watch the action and find out the results. Although it's still
Pretty simple question, who's your favourite skater(s) in the longboarding world? Who floats your boat, who inspires, who makes you wanna ride with their particular style? International or Aussie, young or old, ''pro'' or bro...

Nationally I would go with Leigh and Bow! Leeso is always rad too! Jacko for showing the ropes and Benbro, super nice guy!
Internationally... Hmmm. James Kelly and Ben Weh Kalekka from South Africa! K-RIIIIIMES!

Not in any order
Dani. Cause he is always doing cool stuff travellin and filming on a shoestring budget and make a great input into the longboard scene as a whole.
Ash Donaldson. Un assuming charger. Without him and Pete hill there would be no Joe.
Joe brown. Introduced me Yvon labarthe and therefore longboarding. When he is not working he charges
Lundmarks twins. Confuse the crap out of me at the race i organised by swappin there numbers with each other, haha, and seem to just love to skate.
The chad. Come on he shreddsss so hard. Standies from hell.
Dennis. Aka bullet man. Just the happiest stokedest dude I have ever met.
As far as pros go. Hmmm I'd say Yvon cause he does all the disciplines to a standard most of us could never get to.

Aus: jacko, cause he was the first one to invite me to my first race, benny cause he's a good cunt, puts up with me, first supreme skater that actually got to know me, Cam hes a crazycunt, funny as too.. super awesome dudes, mega tight always, they know there shit and know whats going on when going fast
Gabe, jacko are fanastic to watch shred down a hill.
OS: P-Swiss ever since i met the dude at newtons last year, i've focus'd on his style, technique and ways he uses the force.
nah hes a rad dude i'd love to one day skate a hill with him.
Dalua cause he's built like a brick shit house(like me) and he's fast.
louis, he gets sideways amazingly and i love the way he skates.

Jim Z, Tom Edstrand, Chris Chaput, Dave Rogers, Grumpy, Steve Daddow, and the rest of the OG crew without whose dedication and perseverence these sports would not exist in their present form
