“i get tired of seeing pros do easy tricks just so they can be in complete control of their “style.”

You’re n idiot.

Great section!

Old: You’re anonymous because you don’t want to reveal your name. Why one may ask. However, Thumper Nagasako clearly didn’t skate ASA that year so what you’re saying can’t be true. Also it’s a very uncouth thing to do, spreading rumours that are completely irrelevant.

lol the email had the title: “Thumper’s petition”

I only remember it because my entire judging staff made jokes about it for months on end.

talk about versatile??? this is one of the most vaired sections i have ever seen!

Thumper is there anything you can’t skate?

so much variety, one of the most ‘anything goes’ bladers i have ever seen!

massive vert flatspins and 360 top acid down a rail should not even go in the same sentence.

Saw this dude win the Am Championships for vert. Now he skates everything. A real inspiration that it’s all about rolling, not about being a one-trick pony.

This is what real pros used to be made of. Able to skate everything. Props!

oh hell yeh, really enjoyed that, probably the best edit I’ve seen on Rollernews or for the year. I remember this guy from I dont remember when. incredible, amazing vert skating, reminded me of what rollerblading is. On his grinds he doesnt look completely controlled maybe a tiny bit stiff like an older skater or someone who hasnt skated for a while, but it doesnt matter and it doesnt neccesarily mean he’s not controlled or a bit stiff, could be a part of his style or maybe it just looks like that to me

So, I was drinking with Thumper one night and I told him that he was the Tim Ward of the new millennium, and then he said “Yea, but Tim Ward couldn’t do 1080′s.” Thumper is fucking ill, great person and a great skater, and also very good at filming weddings!

not false. wish i saved that email

By: Thumper

Thumper — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 02:26:15 +0000

Thanks for the kind words everyone and the constructive feedback.

@old that’s completely not true. I only competed in the ASA Am circuit in 1999 & 02. In 1999 I qualified for finals in Florida. In 2002 I won the am vert world championships. why would I have a need to petition? don’t make statements that are completely false.

So people are not fully content with a man that has achieved so much progression and they still find something to say about how Thumper Nagasako has a style that does not respond to the stereotyped canons of todays skating trends.
Well, I´d take that as a very good compliment!
One must add on the fact that in an environment like woodward is so easy too pick influences from other skaters, including style. So here we have man that is still very much himself and its so obvious that it shocks the viewer, what a great achievement!
Ever heard of that “be yourself” ethos to life?
Aw they turned that into a trend too ;)

Really sick skating! Its very rare for skaters this days to skate everthing they get under there wheels. Don´t care if its vert, street or park.
But always when I see Thumpers skating i think”Wow, what a trick, but could you please do it again with style and a proper landing!?”
This is not meant to understand as hating or flaming around.
