Favourite 80's US Freestyler

(1/5) > >>

Flatcap:
I have many riders who I hold in very high regard from the 80's, Craig C, Carlo, Neil Ruffell to name just a few but who were your top 5 US riders?

Here's mine.....

1 Mike Dominguez - he was awesome for his time, pushed the boundaries in many ways. Watching him at Pipeline was a site to behold, that place was scary!
2 Brian Blyther - So high and so smooth for his time, I loved his style, made it look so easy.
3 Ron Wilkerson - again he was rad, top fella too.
4 Todd Anderson - I loved his Stupple switch foot style lookbacks, clicked!
5 Bob Haro - don't really need to put anything here, it was because of him and Dave Slade in the UK I got into all this.

A few outsiders.....Fiola, Dizz Hicks, Hugo Gonzales, Andy Shohara (Hawian I know but rode in the US) Some of you may wonder why Fiola's not in there but it's so hard to choose them.

It's no contest for me, Bob Haro. He was the man that got me into the whole thing. Watching him was amazing.

Shout out to Eddie Fiola and Dave Vanderspek though. That 'Van Der Roll' into a bowl I saw in BMX Action Bike was crazy. Mike Dominguez and Neil Ruffel complete the set I think.
