I already know someone is gonna say "start stupid threads" but I'm bored so here goes
-when a skater lands a trick absolutely flawless and looks at the camera all pissed off and is like "was that even good" because heaven forbid you'd wanna be excited or happy about landing a good trick.
-when a skater says "Bro he doesn't even skate anymore" - relating to someone who hasn't posted any instagram footage within the last hour
-When getting kicked out of private property for destroying a ledge with wax and grinding and the skater responds "man why would they kick us out we were only skating brrrooooo"

Post on Slap.

Getting mad that people borrow from skate culture as if skaters don't do the same with other shit. I think the 9 club episode with Jason Dill touched on it by referencing Yankee hats. S.K.A.T.E. is a variation of horse from basketball. The shoes popular today are literally vintage basketball and tennis kicks. And how many pro skaters stole their imagery from 70s and 80s rockstars?

Do tricks requiring a foot on the ground.

When people play music at skateparks
Not that I wouldn’t like some nice music in the background when I’m skating
But it’s always either a raw dawg beer drinkin bowl trolls playing shitty metal or some teenagers/tech lordz playing shitty rap
Quit killing my viiiiibes you fuckin assholes. I’m just trying to relax

Also if you say “yew” I assume you can’t read

Over-waxing the shit out of something, blatant foul here.
Watching someone young get vibed out, because they're not flow for Quasi. We all started somewhere, don't be a dick. But if they're sitting in the middle of the pad or on coping, let em know... School kids with a little courtesy.
And really, don't be spilling shit where you skate or spitting. Take that to the side, por favor.

Leaving trash at skateparks. Throw your shit away.

i hate when you see people having a tantrum about not landing a trick. strop throwing your board and just walk away for a few minutes, come back when you've calmed down

I hate bro hugs after someone lands a big trick. It seems contrived at this point and is mad douchey.

Have you ever tried a hard hard trick for a really long time and came really close and not landed it ? Like I can understand freaking out constantly about every trick, but skating is stressful sometimes bro !

I don't understand being dense at all some skaters are dumb as bricks talented yes but dumb as fuck! When doing quasi interviews or just bullshitting at a spot you ask randoms skater hey what do you think of etc current topic without being insistent just a quick reply they have stupid look of confusion like huh?! snap fingers hey! we're talking and you had left me hanging in conversation...... continue please.
I appreciate a decent talk or just to the point, Jamie Thomas is a to the point dude really blunt but well meaning dude.

Well if it happens to be a non-skate related topic I propose an interesting thought an observation with an honest reciprocity but somehow it is like screaming at a wall.

I’m going to be honest right now. This pisses me off every time I go to one of the fucking skate parks in north county or San Diego. Just listening to their open mouths moving with stuff coming out. Some of these kids can’t even articulate a complete sentence. And they are always name dropping and saying “the homie” or “tight fool”
I’m mainly talking about the dudes that have nothing but skating related tattoos and have the preconceived notion that they are actually going to get sponsored one day.
-
talk shit about Slap or pretend they don't know what it is
I hate people who act like they're too cool for SLAP or deny ever browsing it at all. It's such a good resource for finding new videos! You'd be a fool NOT to check this place out once in a while, whether you have an account or no.
-
those terrible, awful trap insta edits with the fucking horrible filming and forced steeze. i unfollowed lots of people on insta because of that bullshit
-
Trap music, those awful techicolor-bukkake camo pants, littering, smoking and also glorifying weed in your clips in 2018. Like someone said about boo j the other day, we get it, you like to smoke weed

Say "in the wild" when talking about a companies products

Leaving trash at skateparks. Throw your shit away.
Don’t buy Anti-Hero. In exchange for letting them skate this guy’s pool, they broke his ladder, never said anything about it, and left him with a bunch of empty Natty Ice cans all over his backyard.
Some guys at a shop were bitching about how AH allegedly left a bunch of empty cans and trash at their wooden bowl, which is in a secluded/wooded area.
Watching those guys clean spots to skate is like Daryl volunteering at a women’s shelter.

maybe it's regional, it's always chill 80s\90s rap at my local park. if i play music i'll usually play tribe station on pandora. i prefer someone playing some chill music to everyone having headphones on and cool guy vibing each other but it probably has a lot to do with who's showing up.

When skaters look at things or order food...man I just hate that.
-
Blast music at the spot, often Slayer or Metallica
Treat opinions on skateboarding as sacred and/or a part of their personality
Bandwagon... but that might just be SLAP exclusive.
Everyone is anti-fanny pack until they actually use a fanny pack. No shame, I'd carry a purse if I could.
provide the entire theatre with loud, semi-coherent commentary during a video premiere.
I, too, prefer my skate video premieres draped in a hollowed silence. A premiere is the culmination of years' of work. Let people be hyped for one night.
-
Show up to the park, do one shitty line through the park, sit down on the ledge, and proceed to cool guy and stare down everyone else who are actually skating while smoking a cigarette.

Dress the same.

..so you actually skate while wearing a fanny pack with that stuff inside it? Like for real? i'll chalk this up to your country of residence but personally I've never DMed boo johnson to tell him he inspires me.

i h8 the yew, a guy i film with does it so loud before or after i attempt something and my stomach turns and get put of so much!
people leaving trash behind at spots bugs me too, usually its the younger kids that do it and everyone else is left to pick up the rubbish!
we have a small plaza right next to a pub, they don't mind us skating there but aren't at all down for the rubbish left behind! so we pick up the trash to keep everyone happy and the spot still being skateable!

What about TYTE?
And yeah, spitter kids are the worst.

Acting too cool isn't good I guess but if your new to a skatepark your better off ignoring the crew completely unless your spoken too the first visit or 3, obviously stay out of peoples way but other than that fuck em. Just get your skate on and your smoke on-it is a skatepark. (also its good to wear a sling bag or fanny pack to filter out the shallow people)
-
I'm guilty of the yew. Im just stoked for you okay.
-
I'm super impressed that somehow that cheer can be spelled out, and just seeing that sound be talked about on the internet is pretty funny. I don't think it's being spelled right, because yew rhymes with jew which rhymes with you and nobody is YOUUUU at the skate park haha unless they gonna do the superman haha.

Whats the flip side of this? Its called "self cheering", which is an even bigger sin in skateboarding.
Look, my guy, theres a good reason you gotta stay casual if you do something cool: it makes whatever you just did 100X cooler. It makes you look more confident in your abilities, like it was routine for you. Some people may also do this to make themselves seem better than they actually are. I'm sorry that upsets you, but its just the way it is.

Never read a book.
Read one book and assume it is the gospel truth.
Scream at little children for getting in the way. You can talk to kids, even kids on scooters, and they are far more likely to learn how to act than if you just scream in their face.
Film each other raping women.
Sponsor other skaters who film each other raping women.
Don't use their turn signals.
Turn right on a green light without acknowledging that people also have a green light for the crosswalk.
Defend Nazis.
Litter at the park.
Litter in general.
Don't vote.
Don't call their moms enough.
Drive to places within walking distance even though they have plenty of time.
Don't replace the toilet paper when they used the last of it.
Eat fast food.
Wear Nikes.
Use brainless terminology spoon fed to them by morons on tv, like "cuck".
Believe Slap is a necessary aspect of skating, instead of just being the interesting perk that it is.
Bumming myself out.

The fanny pack chest sling thing kills me. I just watched a clip where there were 7 dudes wearing them when a guy rolled away from a trick into the high 5 celebration. Of course all those 7 dudes dressed in almost the exact same trend conscious outfits. Because that's what the fanny thing is, a trend. Those same dudes will be keeping their cigs and accessories in whatever the trendsetters keep theirs in by this time next year.

wearing the fanny pack while trying tricks and stuff is regular, but i find it is the most convenient way to carry your stuff around. pockets are too small and a rucksack is too big

Is a rucksack a backpack? If so, a backpack is too big? Are you a 4 year old child, or possibly that size?
I can't fit 2 cameras, 2 gatorades, wax, a hoody, my skateboard, a hat and my wallet etc in a fanny pack... but that all fits easily in my backpack when I decide to bike on the session. If I drive it all goes in the trunk and there's not much need for any bag.

yeah, i meant backpack, i dont have cameras with me or any other huge objects that couldnt fit in a fanny pack and i skate to the spots most of the time, so yeah, a heavy backpack would suck when u ollie up a curb or want to skate downhill or something. again, its just convenient.

function over fashion is right. i'd rather be me, having fun skating with all my stuff in one convenient lil pursy purse, than budgie lasek, gnashing his teeth at an internet clip because a lot of people are wearing a thing
things skaters do i hate: be angry at a lot of people wearing a thing, not because of the actual thing but simply because a lot of people are wearing the thing
-
Start their own companies to turn themselves "pro" and then spend their lives pretending the rest of skateboarding doesn't exist because it ruins their idea of who they are.
You got someone specific in mind?

function over fashion is right. i'd rather be me, having fun skating with all my stuff in one convenient lil pursy purse, than budgie lasek, gnashing his teeth at an internet clip because a lot of people are wearing a thing
things skaters do i hate: be angry at a lot of people wearing a thing, not because of the actual thing but simply because a lot of people are wearing the thing
I've never heard laughing described as "gnashing his teeth"... interesting. But I can kind of see how that may happen while laughing. Maybe you thought these trendy skaters were getting under my skin and upsetting me somehow? Sorry, people who dress silly don't bother me, they're just fun to laugh at. And yeah, it's even funnier when there's a whole group of people wearing the same trendy shit, but at the end of the day they're just kids trying to fit in with their peers. I'm not angry about anything, maybe you are? it's kind of hard to laugh when you're angry.

Rap
with you on this one. where i’m at a lot of the dudes coming up seem to view skating as another hustle to supplement their instagram fashionista & soundcloud rap careers.
-
Where to start...
-Think/act like they are actually "cool"
-High fashion
-Try to act like gangsters
-Try to act like white trash
-Film everything
-Headphones
-Tantrums
-Use the word "gang"
-Defend swastikas
-Litter
-Think tricks requiring a foot on the ground are lame
-Shitty rap
-Overwaxing
-Skate big tranny w/o pads
-Prepackaged, indistinguishable, fake style/steeze
-Bro hugs
-Nike
-"Throwaway" and "warm-up" clips
-Games of SKATE
-Games of SKATE in the most in-the-way places
-Idolizing any pro
-Digital camo pants
-Pot
-Cigarettes
-Vaping
-Yelling at kids (who don't deserve it...yet)
-Skating with a backpack on
-Jackass 2.0 (King of the Road)
-Going to park, but never skating
-Not giving someone a cheer when they've been trying a trick for awhile, and finally land it (esp. if it's an "easy" trick)
-"Trend conscious outfits" (perfectly worded)
-Greater ability = greater entitlement to snake
-Lesser ability = stop skating when someone better is around
-Starting small companies that actually fill no void in the skate world
-Actually taking anything that skaters do seriously enough to get heated about it.

Read one book and assume it is the gospel truth.

When I ask guys in cool clothes for trick tips and they just look at me and smile and then I know they make fun of me later when they are buying their cool fanny bags and keeping their trick tips to themselves.
I am going to try to popularize those vests with like 40 hidden pockets they sell in in-flight magazines to baby boomers. The only problem is that these pockets are so well hidden that no one will know that they are the special hidden pocket vests.

When they post on a message board about "things skaters do that you hate".
-
brands that spoof existing logos/fonts: bronze, dime, alltimers etc like silly goof balls
But so many other big name companies have done this for a long time

The answer is Yo Flips.

when they can kickflip back lip kinked rails and front crook 20's and all that but have absolutely shitty everything on flat.

I forgot to mention this when skaters get in the way of cars, like we get it youre Ricky from EE3. Im sure anyone who drives loves it when pedestrians just randomly jump out infront of you, and then look at you like you are in the wrong.

I think Sean Powers is the worst for this...
-
I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned in here but skating shirtless when it really really doesn’t require it, it’s the middle of winter here and some oski lookalike clone decided to show up and shirts off 10 minutes into skating. He hadn’t even landed anything yet
-
the plastic water bottles... just get an actual reusable water bottle, far more practical & in the long run, cheaper.

You giving them more of a pass if they are landing stuff is equally troubling....

That sucked so hard. That whole video was pretty awful. No one landed anything and everyone looked pissed. Awesome.
-
"Teach" parents of little shit scooter kids the lessons of "skatepark etiquette" like it will make a difference.
-
I absolutely hate it when someone is getting pissed of at a trick and screaming obscenities when there are little kids at the park.
I generally have a psychotic meltdown every time I skate, but at least I have enough self-control to not scream “FUCK!!!” 10 feet away from a 6 year old kid and his mom.
Somewhat tangentially related to this why no matter how much I admire his skating, it’s hard for me to be a fan of T “what the fuck!” Funk. I feel like Heath and Kerry Getz’s freak outs had a bit of class to them. They are to Johnny Carson as T Funk is to Jerry Springer.

When they have every flatground trick but cant skate a not small ledge, rail, or do anything at all on transition.
-
only hitting the last foot of a ledge
having shitty pushing style
