Picklez:
Agree with everyone else, I was just in awe seeing him on the stage this summer.

Though I do also have a soft spot in a similar way for Mirra, Bestwick, and DMC....

1: Mat Hoffman
2: Eddie Fiola
3: Bob Haro

Mat Hoffman and DMC as well as Jay Mirron and Dave Mirra had the biggest impact on me. Later in time I discovered how amazing the 80's riders were/are ...Eddie Fiola, Brian Blyther, Martin Aparijo, Ron Wilkerson, and some british riders who were crazy good. I mean everyone who remebers his first endo-attempt, may remeber how that felt back then. Just saying because that feeling gave me a perfect idea of how f...ing great those lads were bitd. ..or even the skill level of our radsters and friends.

McQUEEN:
Each to their own, but I think its too big a topic to have just a single rider....although MH should defo be up there just for shear guts let alone big airs....but this benchmark of 'taking it to the next level' is to hard to define. What was the next level, at what stage in Freestyle's evolution - I mean a one handed kickturn after a kickturn, or a big air after a 3ft aerial, or 720 over a 360???

I've commented on other forums that R L Osbourn has it for me - he pushed most of the initial boundaries and really pushed the start of Freestyling, along with Bob Haro, Fiola, Wilkerson etc. He was getting it in the American mags and across America with his trick team. Its what we were all copying in the UK.
