“When Ade asked me to write about my favourite skater of all time, I said yes without really thinking about it. I’ve been skating since 1987 & have been influenced by so many skateboarders it’s near impossible to pick out a clear favourite…with that being said I can pick out a top 5, so here we go!” – Morbid
5. Neil Blender
When I was learning to skate mini ramps, I tried to learn every trick I saw Blender do. Blunts, Keep on Truckin’s & lipslides are a favourite to this day!
4. Jeff Grosso
The first I saw of Grosso was in the Speed Freaks vid in the late 80’s, shaving his eyebrows off & being a weirdo – I liked it! Jeff is fucking rad, I’ll forever love him for wearing the Ripride shirt I sent him in my favourite Loveletters episode.
3. Andy Roy
An animal on a skateboard. Sketchy, winging it style, I fucking love him.
2. Julien Stranger
His section in Reason For Living is amazing. Straight hill bombs & cruising. Runs the best skateboard company in the world.
1. John Cardiel
The Greatest Of All Time. All Hail.
