The title says it all imo I would have to say Rodney Mullen. By far the one of the greatest skaters to walk this earth.[video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJg2_dUHd84[/video]

with you on this, dyrdek brought everyone together.cryisfree said:Dyrdek, Sheckler, etc. Not for their contribution to skateboarding (trick wise) but the community. Dyrdek banks on parks for others and Sheck has his foundations/charities.

cryisfree said:Make a Wish and stuff like that is supported by major companies which helps a lot. Trick wise, a lot of have contributed, from mullen, to haslam and far more.
wall said:The list can go on and on, Caballero, Hawk, and McGill.
Wise said:I use to be a big skateboarder back in 2007, but haven't been much into it now. I would agree with you Wall on Rodney Mullen being one of the few who contributed to skateboarding, but when someone who doesn't skateboard who hears the word "skateboard" I think they immediately think of Tony Hawk. He's a very iconic figure when it comes to skateboarding because well think about it, there's been many games named after him, has his own company, and of course has his own brand of skateboards. Only someone who is truly into skateboarding would know who Rodney Mullen was. So, in my opinion Tony Hawk has contributed a lot to skateboarding.
On a side note, I also had the chance to meet Tony Hawk once, and he was a pretty nice guy. It was for some event he hosted at six flags, I forget what it was called though :/
