Tried a little something different today and went back to the roots of six absolute pioneers. Funny seeing these instantly-recognizable icons on some Lil' Archie-type steez, looking so fresh-faced and new on the scene ... grouped together with similar young upstarts who's careers didn't quite achieve the same notoriety. Its the small details and little idiosyncrasies, often revealing a different side of these legendary pros, that make looking back on these old Check-Outs definitely worth the time.

Mullen should write more articles.
Templeton's one footer over the rail looks so good.
The Penny check out is a bit of an odd ball. His impact was years later than the others.
Who's the best out of those 6? Here's mine:
1) Penny
2) Lee
3) Mariano
4) Barbee
5) Vallely
6) Templeton
i remember having the jason lee checkout on my wall way back when. it was right next to julien stranger doing a frontside board on a handrail.
I don't know if I like templeton's or jason lee's check out better. Great idea for a post.
yeah my bro kicked it in my ear:
"why get tempted to compare or rate?
Each skaters' reppin a style impossible to recreate".
