    Eric D is not only a true OG, he also seems like the most laid-back, down to earth guy. He killed it in his younger years and he’s an even bigger inspiration to us older cats today. Hats off.

      He really is, I've met him a couple times and each time, he was always down to kick it and talk about old parts and new skaters that he liked and told me about

      I was lucky enough to meet him in his prime in the late 80s at a skate demo in San Antonio he signed my Bill Danforth deck. But like a little dingleshit I ended up losing it.

    Glad to see my idol still killing it! I've learned powerslides because of him, and going out slashing around is still my favourite thing to do.

    Besides Gonz, Eric Dressen was my favorite skater back in those days. I would ride fast in ditches,bomb and powerslide hills in Diego. SKYLINE!!

    @djdef5521 Рік тому +2

    Eric’s truly one of the Og legends in skateboarding. This part was always my favorite as a kid & watched it over & over, so much style and speed. I always remember watching the different contest videos too with him and remember the one where his board broke in it and he still tried to do tricks on it (forgot the name of that contest) but thank you Eric for skateboarding.

    I can’t believe I met Eric last month in April in Japan (Shibuya), and I recognized him. I unconsciously mouthed to myself, “Eric Dressen”!?! He was with his girlfriend and taking a pic with a Japanese fan. When I went up to him and said Eric Dressen!?! He was like yea. 🤯🤯🤯. Been watching this dude rip it since I was 10years old back in the 80’s. Asked to take a pic, and he obliged. Coolest chill dude you’ll meet.

    • @bombsquid6436
      @bombsquid6436 21 день тому +1

      Not underrated. He widely regarded as one of the most influential skaters of all time and has a trick named after him, the salad grind. That's not being underrated, that's being a legend.

    • @BrianPayne-ef6kn
      @BrianPayne-ef6kn 21 день тому

      @@bombsquid6436 Oh I totally agree with the legend status. I'm riding his rose crew one right now and about to order his Dogtown hands deck. Being 48, I really dig that shape. Check out his new Pup deck. It's got solar activated color in the graphics. Pretty rad.

    When he turned pro, you were pretty much done by about 23 so it would be interesting to get a time machine and go tell his 20 year old self that he'd still be in the skateboard world at his age.
