In between getting tech'r with better steez than most and running all tings regarding Chilluminati, Sean was good enough to put together a Top 5 for us.

Jani Laitani – Get Tricks or Die Trying

Perfectly blended Euro tech and New order.

Pros: Big flip front nose slide

Cons: Really hard to pronounce his name.

Tony Trujillo – In Bloom

First skateboard video I ever downloaded illegally. Introduced by John Cardiel, ultra powerful style all around rockstar. Single handedly the reason I learnt to drop in.

Pros: All Terrain Killer, one of the best frontside 180s down a stairset.

Cons: Might make you like Motley Crue.

Nick Trappaso – Suffer The Joy

Trippy hippy, serial chiller, eventually turned into a bit of a space cadet but his closing part to Suffer the Joy was ahead of it's time.

Pros: Skates a selection of really good trousers, first backside 360 kickflip I saw down a legit stair set.

Cons: Started a really terrible skateboard company and went off the grid.

Brent Atchely – Elementality Vol 1

No stairs, no rails; just the best style in the game. No-one skates quite like Brent.

Pros: Turns out you can be pro without jumping down shit.

Cons: It'll make you want to skate Burnside, and you probably can't.
