Some skaters over the years have actually brought something new to skating.
Natas Kaupas is one who made a profound impact on it, he and Gonz took street skating 3 dimensional with handrails and wallrides, etc.
Actually, this photo has 3 people in it that somehow left their mark on our sport and still play a big part.
