Skater's Favorite Skater | Jeron Wilson | Transworld Skateboarding

One of our favorite OG 90s skaters, Mr. Jeron Wilson lays out why "this" monumentally influential skater is his favorite. Thanks Dubbs!

[@gnarl_marx729]

Shout out to people who are multi talented

[@isaacgarcia4846]

Good ole K nuttz

[@sour_dsl804]

🤣🤣🤣🤣✌

[@purtexdecks3000]

Jeron out here lookin like a young ice cube

[@chestrockwell4640]

He looks like if Ice Cube and Ice T had a baby

[@hung1396]

He probably tried out for the movie part

[@mattkeenan7969]

I thought easy e ice cube and ice t hahaha

[@crondigady]

Switch 360 flip to switch nosegrind down a handrail. HANDRAIL. You could make a case that his trick is the most difficult trick ever thrown down on a rail.

[@ao1309]

Guy has just always been the best. We're just lucky we get to see it as much as we do, he'd get all those same tricks just for his own challenge and gratification even if there wasn't a filmer there!

[@RandyTwang]

Fuck yeah. That blew everyones mind when pretty sweet came out. Still mind blowing today.

[@ottomattix86]

I don't know the name of the skater or trick for sure but they did a nollie hurricane? It was crazy af compared to this

[@switchback3638]

​@@ottomattix86 maybe you mean yuto in the first april video (nollie 180 sw feeble)? I think sw tre nosegrind is harder tho

[@ianturnbow7011]

And the trick was supposed to be a switch 3 flip to front noseblunt. Guy ended up getting closer with nosegrinds

[@magtownrep]

I remember an article in Skateboarder Magazine back in like early '01 that was about 30 top pro's choices of their favorite skaters. Half of them chose Guy. This was right after when he dissapeared off the scene, too. Way before he came back with his Lakai part he still got his propers. Mad respect.

[@mattkeenan7969]

One of the most underrated skaters ever man I love jeron

[@jukkaollikainen]

Video Days was such an emotional game changer that it was actually the friends section of Virtual Reality that I loved the most. And who starts that one. Boom! Love from Finland!

[@1439of2000]

I think thats the section that Guy Mariano did a bs noseslide nollie flip down a handrail in 1992 or 93. Im thankful for being a kid then and waiting for videos and magazines in the mail.

[@jukkaollikainen]

@@1439of2000 Just imagine the feeling when you had to go to a bank to change Finnish marks to dollars, then sent the money in a tiny envelope to San Francisco - believing that nothing will ever follow. Then, some months later, the first brown envelope is waiting on the doorstep when you get home from school. Yeah, it was a Thrasher but after that I also subscribed Transworld. Pretty sweet days. Stay safe and take care!

[@jukkaollikainen]

@@1439of2000 And yeah, I think that trick was there - it was a bit sketchy, maybe, but absolutely insane. I always felt sad that his part only had a couple of tricks but all of them were the next level.

[@guyfromsouth1976]

I discover Guy in the Ban This / Powell Peralta in 1989 , but Vidéo Days / Blind was the mindblow too .

[@tonydigital6017]

The first time I saw Guy was on Sk8 TV. He instantly became my favorite skater and stayed that way til this day. I remember his nose blunt slides on Video Days were always the best

[@big3ye378]

I wonder if anyone will choose Chris Senn

[@falcosk8]

Chris Senn is dope!!

[@sharktooth2888]

1:15 check how chill he is coming into that hip.. his style was so cool to watch back in the day. Trailblazer.

[@MrGwaldo]

Totally agree with Jeron here. If anyone asks me I say Guy is my favourite skater of all time. He’s been in skate videos since the late 80’s and is still killing it. 5 decades!

[@tom-ot8kg]

I stopped skating in 2011 and came back in 2017 so when I heard the whole girl/chocolate team fell apart a piece of my childhood hurt a bit

[@booski1865]

It really is a bummer

[@tom-ot8kg]

@@booski1865 that era from yeah right to pretty sweet was probably the most authentic years of skating for me. No instagram clout and no die hard supreme groupies which kinda ruins skating imo.

[@booski1865]

@@tom-ot8kg I started around the time of Mouse, so that OG team was always special to me. And it was a different time when you had to wait for videos/clips and then when it finally released you'd watch it a thousand times.

[@tom-ot8kg]

@@booski1865 you're an OG much respect. You seen skating go through many phases. I started in 2004 and it blows my mind how much has changed. I remember bootlegging fully flared. And although I enjoy the era that we're in some of today's skate media can be cringey with it being a popularity contest now that I'm an adult. Those girl squads really mastered showing the art of skating and progression rather than a trendy aesthetic.

[@dexgray4581]

All I could think of when seeing the thumbnail for this was, “Two chicks at the same time, man.”

[@CaptainShoe]

"Take care of yer corn hole bud!!"

[@maguskates]

Right there with you, Jeron. Respect

[@tommym875]

When Herbie Hancock writes a song for your video part, you are a boss. And as a side note, Guy had to time travel to explain the situation.

[@devinkk]

what??? when did this happen?

[@tom-ot8kg]

Lmao what? Please clarify. I know that Herbie song used in his part came out in the 70s.

[@mikequinlivan8842]

I know this is a joke; but jokes that land tend to have an element of truth. This has no element of truth. 😅

[@ericdonalson7276]

Mr.Wilson put out some clips G ...! You one of my all time faves!✌

[@billyguillen5574]

[@bargerkenneth]

Excellent choice. A lot of guys are rad, but a few dudes are entirely unique. Guy is one of the greats.

[@130world1]

[@BackwoodChong]

Shout out April for puttin him on

[@TheRichierich1]

Ahh man that shit is buttery 👌🏾

[@SONOFABITCH]

Guy should have been SOTY at LEAST twice, but that's Thrasher politics. Legendary talent. These clips speak for themselves.

[@delplaya5]

Guy's name coming up a lot in these vids.

[@sidhoward5218]

When did he switch tre nose a rail? Damn

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

That was in pretty sweet in like 2012 or 2013 it came out when I was a senior in high school.

[@RandyTwang]

I was already beaten to it but anyway. It was the last trick in PrettySweet.

[@nikokaapa]

1:57 GOOD NEWS HERE!

Call him ice coffee

1 thousand.

[@falcosk8]

would be hard to disagree with this!!

[@ericmario]

[@Quesly1]

Guy is such a good skateboarder that saying he's your favorite skateboarder doesn't really say anything about your personality like its a very generic answer. If you say Guy or Gino or Mark Gonzales I haven't learned anything about you or your influences because everyone is influenced by them. For example Suciu saying that Dennis Busenitz is his favorite says a lot about Mark Suciu and its a far more interesting answer.

[@dumb_as_rocks]

i dont think you understand how influential he was for people who went on to become pro skaters as well

[@ccollins125]

I think the point is to give props to their favorite. Rather than this saying nothing in particular about Jeron, the fact that so many choose him, and Gonz for that matter... says everything about guy. At least until we start talking shove it body varials.

[@Quesly1]

@@dumb_as_rocks I do understand, I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say. what I'm saying is that saying Guy is so influential that it doesn't say anything about you if Guy is your favorite skater, he's everyone's favorite skater. It's like a basketball player saying Michael Jordan is their favorite player.

[@rootsmcduck4339]

yeah, mainly his generation

[@Quesly1]

​@Frank Martinez No, that is not what I said at all. maybe try reading a little closer next time and using some of those reading comprehension skills you should have picked up in middle school. I'm saying that Guy Mariano is one of the guys that everyone is influenced by. My comment was meant as a compliment to Guy. And you're in for a bad time if you think there aren't hipsters in skateboarding. especially with your gatekeeping ass attitude.

[@jondough3339]

Bruh... cut your hair

[@heelturnsface]

He stopped being innovative once he got on Nike

[@KL_Stereo]

Exactly, nobody deserves to make a decent living doing what they love. Fuck putting food in your mouth, real OGs starve to death.

[@khrissyboy69]

sw tre nose grind on a fucking handrail. There’s way too many tricks to name
