No MR on there = bogus list

Classic old man’s list. Where are the aerialists?

I wouldn’t have Laird in there.

Not that big a fan but you can definitely drop him in instead of Dayne Reynolds.

No MP?

I’m a huge fan but basically Wayne Lynch did it all first.

Really. Ok then. I knew that Lynch was a pioneer and everything but I thought that MP was regarded as untouchable at the time.

I also endorse Dane being included. No one other than JJF has grabbed me as being so far ahead (on pure ability) than those two.

Like all lists, Matt put it out there as a discussion starter. It’s people who were pointing to the future while doing stuff different to everyone else. Rather than people who were doing the same as other people but just clearly better.

Owl, Reno, Larry, Gerry, Tom, Nick and Loofs are sorely missing from this list.

Yeah and he forget sunbird throwing massive buckets at second ramp on the puddle jumper

I remember Tommy saying if you wanted to see where Michael got his style from just hold a mirror up to a photo of Wayne Lynch.
Lynch was at the very end of his competitive career when MP started his rise. He only came back for the first couple of Professional Comps like the one at Manly against Larry Blair.

I reckon Kai Lenny is a shoo-in for the latest addition to the list.

He's dead.

What's happening in the afterlife then?

Probably for SUPs and surfing Jaws. I gather the list was about innovation.
