AIRZ1 · 08-22-2002, 09:02 PM

What do you guys think of him? I think he is the best street sk8r at the moment. Anyhow i was just wonderin what you all thought of him

globesk8er · 08-23-2002, 01:36 AM

i think hes pretty good, and i think girl makes pretty good decks

Shorty · 08-23-2002, 01:48 AM

yeah hes pretty tight, i dunno about his decks or trucks but es shoes are the best

08-23-2002, 02:46 AM

Uh yeah hes a good skater and can do good noseslides and tailslides and stuff but yeah I guess hes good.

The Turtle · 08-23-2002, 03:06 AM

Koston is amazing. But I don't know if it's correct to say he's the best street skater at the moment.

08-23-2002, 04:15 AM

Rodney Mullen is the best street skater it is a ****ing proven fact if it wasnt for him no other skater could do anything. He invented a moving ollie a kickflip heelflip darkslide casper slide 180 flip 360 flip all of that stuff and more. I cant believe some people think koston is better than mullen you guys who think that make me ****ing sick to my stomache.

M_coley1 · 08-23-2002, 04:44 AM

hullo, Rodney mullen didnt invent the ollie...some other dude did.I saw it on concrete wave the other day the guys name is Alan "Ollie" Gelfand.he invented it in 1977.

08-23-2002, 05:50 AM

Yes that alan dude did invent the ollie indeed but rodney mullen invented the MOVING ollie not the standing still ollie the MOVING ollie I'll get you some links if you think Im lying

Flip Boy · 08-23-2002, 08:38 AM

like Tony Hawk was the first to ever ollie out of a vert/pool

I think Koston is OK his style is lazy though, if you watch his movie on thps3 u will see why lol

P.S. stick to the subject

Snaker · 08-23-2002, 02:34 PM

Mullen invented flatland ollie, and Gelfand invebted the vert ollie.

p.s: KOSTON HAS HAIR NOW! it's wierd, i saw it in the X-games

Craig Himself · 08-23-2002, 03:06 PM

I've bin told im lyke eric koston after watchin his vid on thps3, im always on a pc or skatin heh

-Don- · 08-23-2002, 10:24 PM

i think koston is awesome...but i think our old friend arto saari would give a good fight for the title of best street skater too....

psycoskater · 08-23-2002, 10:43 PM

why don't we leave em both out and bring geoff rowley hehe

or ali boulalala or something like that koston is good...

Ollie Cat · 08-24-2002, 01:12 AM

Kosten's style is bad...what about Mullen's? he can do awesome tricks but his arms are all over the place, making them look sloppy. but this is going to raise up some fights so...thats just MY opinion.

BoArDeR420 · 08-24-2002, 04:20 AM

^ u must be on drugs... mullen is amazing, and everything is smoooooooooooooooooooth... and mullen invented the flatland ollie, the other dude did it off a kicker.

M_coley1 · 08-24-2002, 03:47 PM

Thats alright i dont need any links.But im pretty sure that Allan did moving ollies too he said he did on the show.But whatever.

08-25-2002, 12:10 AM

i think koston's good but i do agree with hullo(zack) on that rodney mullen is the bestest

08-25-2002, 12:13 AM

and geoff rocks too

sk8ter 7 · 08-25-2002, 04:39 AM

i think that he's a great skater and will continue to be one for some time. he's one of my favorite skaters too.

p.s. he looks differnet with hair

mooshoo · 08-25-2002, 05:10 AM

people have different styles in STREET skating, whether big drops, rails, to picnic tables, or just flatland, everybody has their own style. Erick is good in all of street, he can mostly everything, be he probably isnt very good in flatland

Ollie Cat · 08-25-2002, 05:17 AM

Hmm...lol...well his arms are always swinging in the air and his leg goes out pretty far and looks pretty goofy when he pushes. I'm sorry, but HEH his style is sloppy. Sorry ppl, but im not on drugs or jokeing lol. But, he is still a good skater, he just needs to work on his style.

Ollie Cat · 08-25-2002, 05:20 AM

Atleast, sometimes. I just saw him on TV and his style was fine, but then another time he stunk. uhh...im confused. and im not male either...

AIRZ1 · 08-25-2002, 10:35 AM
