I love Stephan but he's a Felix Prangenberg wannabe=)))

[@pauljames4510]

He is a fan of Felix not I wanna be I helped Stephan get on we the people and it is cool to see him get this far 👍🚲💨

[@pauljames4510]

@Bobbi Rollins it’s like when I used to watch Seth Kimbrough I grew my hair long and had a bandanna, and when I used to watch Ryan sher I got my lip pierced inspiration from other riders that I got from other riders, as well as their riding 👍🚲💨

[@FachyMarin]

Nah, they are just part of the same era/scene. A great example is that back in the late 00's everyone started using super tight jeans, growing their hair and wearing bandanas, doing mostly barspin centric combos and tuck no handers. Garrett Reynolds was the most popular/talented rider with that style and was often referred as the guy who invented it but the truth is that there were way too many people dressing like that and trying those tricks even before he became super popular.

No, that's unfair to say that. Stephan works really hard to be where he is. We all are inspired by different people and different things, but to call him a "wannabe" is cutting him short. He deserves all the success he can get and then some.

@@FachyMarin around that time, I was sponsored by a company called blue banana that used to sort me out heavy metal T-shirts and criminal damage skinny jeans 👍🚲💨
