Skateboarding's Most Interesting Characters

[@ShredzShop]

Who should we add to the list?! Help us make more videos & Subscribe: kzbin.info

[@ostias]

keanu reeves, bruce lee and lebron james can not miss.

[@ostias]

I must say that in the 80's era after the premiere of Back to the Future. Lots of guys must have started skating. You have to make a video about the movies that popularized skateboarding or that at least incorporated it. Love the channel ! God job !

[@charliewolfe1455]

Rob WuWelsh.. Willy Santos

[@RyanCaesar]

Gotta add Gator to the list

[@TheAnimeist]

Chad Caruso. Chicken Little.

[@JezelJordan]

This needs a part 2 for sure. There are some amazing weirdos out there, people like Ali Boulala and Jason Dill and Gonz and so many more

[@Ruckshuk4101]

Spike too

[@alanalso]

Definitely need a part 2. And 3.

[@briantomcollins]

Just clicked on... Gonz isn't in this one? Blasphemy...

[@ShredzShop]

Ooo spike would be a good one!

[@ShredzShop]

😅 He was actually on the list but didn’t get finished before we had to film it! He’ll be in part #2

[@l.j.i]

This is a sick series... we need more! Daewon song, the gonz, andy anderson, jason dill, rocco, gator, deer man of dark woods, even jay adams... there are SO many people to talk about!

[@jimkozminski7693]

All hail Cardiel. Great job, definitely could keep a series going on memorable skateboard characters. Respect from MI

[@jimkozminski7693]

And you could probably do an entire episode on Jason Jesse

[@dadboard]

@@jimkozminski7693 nobody should do anything about Jason Jesse.

[@jimkozminski7693]

@@dadboard Why? Consolidated sucks. Ask Andy Roy, pussy

[@clstile]

Greco is my all time favorite skateboarder and a personal hero of mine! I’ll be 39 this month and grew up idolizing and copying Grecos style in skateboarding .. awesome you guys included him 🤘🏼

[@Net.NobodyStu]

Greco and Boulala in their early days were dressing all punk and Sid vicious

[@joelglanton6531]

Greco's part in The Deathwish Video is one of my all-time favorite parts

[@blikembe27]

Love this. You should do another one covering Jamie Thomas, Ed Templeton, Bob Burnquist, Jeremy Klein, and Andy Anderson

[@juli7xxxxx]

Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes!

[@ShredzShop]

All good additions! 🙌🙏

[@bubbler9583]

Andy Anderson? So you’re either 13 or 42 right?

[@john316jamesjude]

Andy is the best. Andy has the courage to wear a helmet. Who else in street wears a helmet?

[@robertstrong6639]

Always thoroughly researched and presented topics here. Well done!

[@ShredzShop]

🙌🙏👊

[@RedonRedGutta923]

Suggestions for part 2- Louie barletta, deawon song, Mike V, Erick koston, Antwon Dixon, Mike Sinclair, Chris Robert’s, lance mountain, Jason dill

[@clstile]

Simon Woodstock?! Often forgotten skateboarder who had one of the best VANS pro models and was an incredible creative force in the 90s and set a solid tone art and skateboarding

[@bakedbeings]

King of the hippy jump variation

[@xavierdiazmcguire4667]

Skate Church turned him out

[@jimizxztheorginal]

Rodney Mullen became enlightened by skateboarding, he is a skateboarding sage.

[@CaliKiid714]

Surprised there was no mention of Bam or even Sheckler lol. You can definitely make this a series, there's been so many characters in the skate scene.

[@NYRAD02]

Amazing Video as always !! Some of Mullen's stories I've heard from people are still some of my favourites , Much Love 🇿🇦🤘🛹❤️

[@DanClapp]

You should read his autobiography, The Mutt

[@franekdyrda]

[@ShredzShop]

[@b1bout2jam3]

I was waiting for you to mention Jason dill. Regardless, this is one of the first videos I’ve had interest in watching that you guys have posted in several months. Great job!

[@ShredzShop]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@travislostaglia8861]

Simon Woodstock also fought in a boxing match on MTV against a rapper from the group onyx

[@ryandelagnes8725]

This should be a series. So many possibilities hahaha quite a few characters in skating

[@ShredzShop]

Gonna do an episode #2.

[@michaelharris6157]

What happened to the shortys team members? Love this channel

[@briantomcollins]

Steve Cab is also relatively known in the hot rod scene. He's got some beautiful traditional style rods.

[@tbarnesarc]

Didn't see Natas or Mike V suggested in the comments so there's a couple for part 2 if they fit in. Love the channel and keep up the great content.

[@ShredzShop]

Both would be great additions! 🙌🙏 Glad you enjoy!

[@Mike_Nowlan]

I honestly cant believe you didn't mention The Gonz or Dylan Rieder

[@ShredzShop]

Gonna have em in episode #2!

[@thedude928]

Tom Penny. Him keeping a low profile makes him a very interesting dude in skateboarding. Not to mention his super smooth and clean style of skating.

[@ShredzShop]

Yea lots of stories and folklore surrounding his career!

[@tylerbrunton7696]

Great nostalgia trip for me and the other 40-year-olds. Nice one folks!

[@ShredzShop]

🙌🙏

[@signalpathproductions]

Man your videos are so informative and interesting! good shit! keep er up

[@ShredzShop]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed!!

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Love this. Jason Lee and Niel blender would have been on my list.

[@michab4291]

Shredz Shop is very important not just for Skateboarding but for whole mankind

[@wu_the_wu_2137]

I was waiting for Dollin until the very end 😂 You better make it a series

[@BeingIntegrated]

Holy crap I had no idea Muska was originally in the Welcome to Hell video. It was one of the first videos I owned, watched it like 100 times. Now trying to re-envision it with Muska.

[@ShredzShop]

Go watch his OG part! It’s on KZbin if you search for it!!

[@BeingIntegrated]

@@BLVCKSEA I don’t know what video you’re watching but the original VHS version did not have Muska in it. I just searched to double check and make sure I’m not misremembering. This video says Muska originally had the last part but in the VHS original Jamie Thomas originally had the last part.

[@nyjahsdad1802]

@@BeingIntegrated They pulled his part after the premier because he was wasted and causing trouble. They felt like he wasn't representing the brand appropriately and kicked him off the team. There are some copies of the "original" video floating around out there

[@Sapoguapo]

Stoked you included Simon. Was he the best skater? Far from it. But his passion and originality will live on forever!

[@ShredzShop]

He’s definitely an interesting character!!

[@himonightbreeze]

Gustavo literally lived the story of THUG.

[@buildingglocks5797]

You guys next video should be pro skaters who started a skateboard deck company. I’m really interested on how many pros started the brands we loved. I also noticed that a lot of big names pros left their huge deck sponsors to start their own in the past 8 years or so.

[@tumelo4526]

Awesome video! Great job❤

[@ShredzShop]

❤️🙏 glad you enjoyed!!

[@jayempreem]

Yes it needs Part 2, I wanna see Ryan Sheckler, Dustin Dollin, Geoff Rowley, Bam Margera etc... We need part 2 Man! #part2

[@ShredzShop]

Don’t get Levi started on Sheckler… (he’s a big fan)

[@betoguerra87]

This is history class love it ive seen it 3 times ❤

[@ShredzShop]

❤️🙏🙌

[@dannymcwilliams322]

Can you add a link to the Jim Greco video you mentioned? Can’t find it.. big love ❤

[@BLVCKSEA]

..Dustin Dollin..Louie Barletta..Marc Johnson...Daniel Haney..Bam Margera..Terry Kennedy...Tom Penny... Just to name a few interesting skaters.

[@Thechildishmandingo]

Dude we need a part 2 or a whole episode about more Baker Boys. Dillon, TK, Antwuan, Beagle. Definitely the most interesting skate crew.

[@CollinGill7]

4:28 what shoes is cab wearing in the front board pic??

[@dernieredanse9924]

I think making a list of the most influentials videographers/videomakers of all time would be interesting Greetings from Brazil 👋👋

[@ShredzShop]

That would be dope!

[@dernieredanse9924]

​@@ShredzShop yeah! The idea came after watching this video, would be super interesting to listen about the iconic videos of each videographers in their respective carreers and how they influenced skateboarding in general, the example that came to my mind is with strobeck, as a also videographer, the way that he films served as "manual guide" in my early videos before properly understand the differents types of filming in general, and last but not least is this theme i never seen anyone talking about, to know who are the guys that maked the iconic videos and their carreers before and later the video came out to the scene, well hope to see you talking about! bye!

[@iMoreno]

I love this list and also one of my favourite skater is Chris Haslam

[@ShredzShop]

We 💗 Haslam

[@taliagluck7077]

enjoyed that !!!

[@ShredzShop]

I like that idea!

[@theramplocal]

@Shredz Shop there really are so many to choose from, we are lucky to have that issue in skateboarding. Dope video as always sir!

[@TheZerosophisto]

Lee Ralph, Todd Congelliere, Aaron Deeter, Jeff Pang, Per Welinder, Julien Stranger. Or a german Part with Titus, Guenter Mokulys, Ralf Middendorf, Mussa Najras (R.I.P.). Klaus Dieter Span for best Rap part in a 411VM (🤔 411 no. 1,2 or 3) 😂 Celebrity Edition with Muska, Lil Wayne, Owen Wilson, Jason Lee.

[@ShredzShop]

All great additions! 📈 I’d love to deep dive some old euro and German skate stories.

[@TheZerosophisto]

@@ShredzShop would be very cool! Titus Dittmann is enough for a whole story! I‘ve forgotten Claus Grabke (Powell Peralta and Santa Cruz Pro). Euro Guys: Nicky Guerrero (Powell Peralta), Pete Dossett and Paul „Rocker“ Robson (both Deathbox Pros) The good old times... 🛹

[@Androx-murdok34]

Love the series.please do a t-funk(if possible,I know he still fresh and doesn’t do many interviews.)

[@ShredzShop]

T-Funk would be dope!

[@thomasingram8713]

Def needs a part 2, need Bam and Sheckler

[@R1SKYB1Z]

Part 2 is needed for sure

[@SZN_Crank]

My brothers and I love talking about the legends and the future prodigies. Yuto Horigome, Filipe Mota, and many more. Also there’s already a VICE video about Andy Roy, but I’d love to hear it from you guys. Peace.

[@ShredzShop]

Yea! Definitely interesting to watch young legends in the making. I think Yuto will have a pretty interesting story when it’s all said and done!! Saw Felipe Mota at Chevy park last time I was in LA and he’s insane!!

[@marcvettori8981]

this was very cool, well done...

[@marttiala-jaaski6876]

Great stuff! would add Jay Adams, Gonz, Natas, Blender and Penny.

Solid additions for sure! 💥📈

[@ShaolinWulf]

🙏 stoked you enjoyed!

[@Skatewolf-81]

Sick video and you guys should do a part 2 got to get Tony Alva and Jay Adams in there

[@ShredzShop]

Agreed 📈

[@BLVCKSEA]

Steve Cab has been pro longer than I've been alive..and I'm 38. That's friggin crazy.

[@ShredzShop]

Really putting skater of the century to the test

[@EYEH8MOSTOFYOU]

I actually have a NOS pair of those Simon Woodstock vans in my closet right now

[@ShredzShop]

NO WAY!! 🔥 you gotta send me a pic

[@ExtraterrestrialBeing-jc7to]

That Shorty's Fulfill The Dream classic I used to watch every time before I went Sk8ing

[@DTC1138]

A shame Levi from Shredz shop is not on this list.

[@ShredzShop]

😅😅

[@Eyejrbdysk]

I’m suprised jason Lee wasnt on here, i think he has a very interesting career in both skating and acting and photography. He’s definitely the GOAT for street style of skating

[@jimcielencki1212]

It is wild to see the Sunday Baker board on the wall.

[@arikuusela6716]

Good video!

[@ShredzShop]

🙌🙏

[@invertedcrown]

muska was being pursued to ride for Flip? that would be sick. makes sense cause he was bros with Penny. but i don't think they had any USA riders at the time. would have been cool tho.... still, glad he stuck with shortys. he deserved to be the mastermind of a brand, not just another rider.

[@ShredzShop]

What a different world we’d live in with Muska on flip! I agree, stoked we got Shortyy’s and a brand with Muska having creative control!!

[@mammoth-puppy3246]

I always forget that Rocco was like the man at one point.

[@TRSONFIRE]

love the content! Personally I would speak slower as it's a lot of information shared with a very fast pace making the narration a bit flat. Taking more time would also gave you the opportunity to focus on less skaters and gave them the right space. Last thing, I would add the name of the skaters on the screen so no need to check the captions in the YT bar (which is also not always accurate, for instance Heath Kirchart is not shown)

[@theworstdudes]

I feel like Andy Roy definitely deserves to be on a future series.

[@ShredzShop]

🙏🙏

[@mrfoodskater]

For being a weirdo

[@d.a.x6190]

They are older, but they aren’t pro models tho! 👍

@@ShredzShop Then why did you call the cab shoe the longest running skate shoe of all time then acknowledge that the old skool and classic are indeed older? 4:18

Heath Kirchart Birdhouse Cannibal Deck (cow eating jerky) was my first board ever

Who's Thug?

[@JezelJordan]

When I think of characters I immediately think of Dill

[@PHATKIDS]

Dill and Mark Gonzalez

[@ShredzShop]

Definitely agree with ya!

[@Mr.Frog21]

It's not OCD for Andrew Reynolds, "The Madness" is a ritual for him. He uses the number 3 since it's the holy grail number. It really explains why he got rich and famous. And is one of the best skateboarders ever.
