Anyone see Denyer, the Ch 7 midget racer I/V Tony Hawk last night?

Can't believe he is older than me and still skating like that!

Sure it's a bit like comparing apples and oranges but for my money TH is the most graceful boarder of all. And I mean on any kind of board, surf, skate, snow & kite. Powerful, fast, smooooth and even in the 900 he doesn't look untidy or rushed (almost).

Slater - would probably be second, but on a wave even Slater doesn't always get to choose exactly where he is going whereas a skater generally does. Competition surfing is generally tres boring too as it is all about maximum moves in minimum time (same reason i don't enjoy watching kite comps too). Hawk doing super smoove huge steezed stuff i could watch all day long.

If only dingle dangle kiting could be so good to look at instead of overly frenetic and 'busy'.

Timeless stoil from an original and he is still setting the standard. Amazing.
