1. Man it would be tuff to pick just 5 of ‘em cuz really, all the skaters I know and skate with are my favorites, for real, but if I hadda pick five JON GREEN & JUSTIN SMART would definitely get the 2 top spots, and since they both members of my crew, I’m just gonna save some spots and put the whole T.H.C. at the number one spot, THE HUDSON CREW, biiiiiitch! All active members, like I said J.G., Blart, my dude Brompton, he hadda go handle some shit but he be back soon, 10 Year Old, the younger Hudson homies who hold it down Keith & TV, and even tho they ain’t Hudson dudes, I’ma go ahead and throw my doggs Mike Greenwood, Howie Hohen, Hadley Jones, Jon Wolf, Speedy, D-Stef, Andy Goy, and Chris muthafuggin Rice in there too, cuz they OG’s and dudes I been skating with since waaayyyy back, and still skate with today, dig?
