I cant believe no mention of Rune or Burquist, they took over after danny and colin. I mean Rune was on a team with the best street skater of the era. What about Max ?

I can't believe you forgot Invisible's Days of Plunder and Caught Clean for concept videos.

Frog is the silly younger brother to WKND's older brother who went to college and studied art/cinema. I want to like both companies, but I end up being neutral on them. I got the DVD for WKND's Death Dance a couple years ago and didn't care for it.

I couldn't watch that dude's part because of the Four Non Blondes. The song was from 1992 and is still awful after 30 years.

The one thing Nike had going for it was that the horrible skits are their own chapters so you can skip them in the DVD. The only part I ever watch is Reese Forbes.

Jimmy's mom is a professional ballerina and his dad is an orchestra conductor. I feel he could do better than Plan B. I bet he ends up on Birdhouse, although he could probably do better than them, too. UMA?

Mike Frazier, Tom Boyle, Peter Hewitt, Darren Navarrette, and Lincoln Ueda were a few of the guys who kept vert going in the 90s. Also the above mentioned Rune Glifberg, Bob Burnquist, and Max Schaaf. Max had his own ramp, too. Probably worth it to note Chet Childress and Omar Hassan, as well.

The World team was mostly vert dudes around about 2000 with Mathias Ringström, Sluggo, Crum, and maybe one or two more.

A few years ago when I was at a bar and the X-Games were on, a random metal head dude who used to skate told me his favorite skater was Pierre-Luc Gagnon. He was really stoked on PLG.
