Jordy underrated.


Jordy seems to be overall cast as the worst skater in the soul skaters, if not the movie, but I really think he might be one of the best, definitely top 5.

There's a few little clues here and there, such as the fact that he performs the first technical grind in the movie (what looks like either a pornstar or an x-grind, during the part where they're trying to show off for the photographer), that he chooses to grind instead of just jump during his section of the school race, and the biggest clue: the fact that of the soul skaters, he gets the highest score in the street run, and we see him doing the biggest air tricks during his run, bigger even than Val's tricks.

Btw, if y'all are curiosu about who my top 5 wold be for the movie, skating skill-wise:

1) Val He's touted as the best skater for most of the movie, then at the end, we see that from a technical standpoint, he actually is the best, with many big air spins and twists, and technical grinds, though few of them.

2) Brink Less technical than Val, but more creative than anyone else, and a beast at spins; witness his 900 during his vert run. Loses points for how much he abuses the royale grind, though.

3) Pete A great balance of technicality (the rotating backslide grind during the school race) with big air tricks (the 720 and the bio 540 during his vert run)

4) Jordy Arguably the one to go the biggest when it comes to air tricks, with the 360 flyfish and the many high 360s and 540s during his street run. He also grinds the most of the skaters in the movie, and always never something as simple as a frontside or royale like most of the others.

5) B.J. A no-nonsenses skater that doesn't mess around when it comes to getting tricks done. Likes to do 540s or anything else that will land him backwards, as seen in the few shots of his street run and when he skates at the X-blades indoor park.

BJ is a professional skater in real life and so is Val. Val aka Sam Horrigan skated in competitions in real life and heavy duty competitions. For me the best to worse skaters are

In real life Val once cracked his rib cage skating on Grace Under Fire
