#TBT Brian Herman - This Is Skateboarding

Posted by Paul Zitzer, Thursday, July 2, 2015 1:22 PM

It’s impossible to know which kids are really going to pan out and have what you could call a skate “career.” Joey Poirez? Knox Godoy? Evan Hernandez? Greg Myers? Sammy Baptista? No. No. No. No. And No. So when Brian Herman came on the scene as a Reynolds prodigy there was no telling. Herman’s Emerica part takes us back to 2003 when he was still rocking the Freddy Krueger stripes and focusing pretty heavily on hitting rails and taking drops. At first you’re thinking, “He could go either way.” But then he brings the tech heat on some ledge lines, finishing one at the Courthouse with a kickflip noseslide on the stage, and all of a sudden you get the idea that there’s a whole lot more to him than the old huck and buck. Herm’s skating continues to evolve to this day and no matter what he does from here on out we’re stoked he’s one of the dudes who panned out.
