Skateboarding => Appreciation! => Topic started by: Beautifull on November 28, 2007, 01:01:38 PM

I just wanted to use this opportunity to talk about THE GREAT ONE.
The reasons why he is so rad are:
1. Started his career from the ground up back in the day aka HISTORY
2. Can talk shit and back it up aka A DOER not just a TALKER
3. Funniest man in skateboarding right now
4. Most intelligent comments based on his observations of every day things (though weed might influence some of it).
5. Says things that people want to say, but are afraid to
There was one article in skatebard rag or whatever it's called where he calls out pro's that made a comeback. Not specifically, but i think he was calling out dudes like the MUSKA specifically. The most dissapointing comeback ever. He's only a notch above the whackness in that "How to Go Pro" video. And to the pros like donny barly and whomever that think skateboarding is not a job were you get coverage to maintain your status, fuck you. We don't want you anymore leeching off the industry.
But this is about clyde. Thank you brother for your journalistic integrity!
Right?

nah

Ok, forgot these:

Anymore questions?
-
did somebody ring?
-
did you guys hear something?
-
i remember in one article he said that there's no such thing as a black skater, yet he created a skate video with minority skaters and acknowledge it. kinda hypocritical if you aske me.
-
Did anybody see the big brother vid Shit #2, after the credits when he's all wasted and trying to roll a joint but ends up just putting his tounge straight through it?
good shit.

o yea, i actually apreciate him for that

I think that's the geneous behind it. I think that some of the greatest american writers contradict them selfs in order to grow artistically. The only down side to him I hear is that he believes that he is really the 'smartest' dude out there. you can be relatively intelligent, but being the 'smartest' is whole other thing.
-
I was never able to get through all the fukkks etc to finish one of his articles, but he is quite a character
-
His music reviews in BB were the best
-
his blog is pretty funny
http://clydesingleton.blogspot.com/
-
One of my favorite skaters. His 411 part with Mobb Deep was great. The ollie over the tennis net witht he drunk foot push.
Ghetto snacks articles. Fakie king.
-
I dont know what that fool was talking about with Barely and stuff but yeah ive always liked Clyde, especially when he skated Ny in the mid 90s. Is always pretty funny to listen to him and read what he writes. Enjoyed all his sections yeah I like the dude.
-
dude is only funny half of the time. sub-par writer and even worse of a skater. last part didn't have one line in it. he's one of those dudes you can never win an argue against and i find that almost as boring as his skateboarding.
-
Don't like him. Remember that article where he called out people with only 10 tricks in their bag? Funny thing is he left his name out of the article
-
Ryde or Die part:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1GFQ8tvSoE&feature=related
Anymore questions?
his aesthetics part was complete garbage. not a single line in that muthafukkka. id rather see hometown hero at the park than this shit ever again. the only skater's worth even mentioning on that video are rob welsh & john igei. they saved that video from being a failure.
edit. i like his blog

Don't really agree with you there. I think it's probably his last full part he'll ever have, and best. It's raw, powerful, and refreshing. He's not the best, but by far not the worst.
And yes, the blog is awsome. Kinda over this whole cut and paste thing that people call their observation of the world, aka blogging. Any asshole can repost someone elses shit on their own page and call it good. I like some more literary content than some youtube of a dude who gets hit in the crotch.
-
His blog is interesting. He had a good part in 20 shot sequence. I really liked that one. Talks to much though but it's funny sometimes.
-
Trilogy part was good too.
-
clydes got my vote. anyone remember when he got drunk and fell off a bridge and almost died?
-
geneous
-
He needs to go back to blacking out and pissing himself. I liked his Trilogy and 20 shot parts, but nah, that's about it.
-
I appreciate him.
-
I appreciate him.
Nicest 360 flip ever in TSA video credits.
-
Minority Report is probably one of my favorite videos of the decade. It even has a Winston-Salem spot in it.
-
piff huxtable is the shit, although he talks a little too much hes good peoples..
-
the front blunt in asthetics was the only thing memorable he ever did. he seems like a really shitty person to have to be around.

I'm going to agree. I don't remember anything about aesthetics except for Welsh's part though, and I watched Clyde's part earlier today.

progression and changing/maturing doesn't mean contradiction in a few articles times. especially when he talked about not being a black skater and just a skater before and during his advertising for minority report as a video all of black/hispanic/asian skaters.
-
Why does he make his writings so hard to read? He might actually be an interesting read, but most will never be ever to tell one way or the other.
-Dagger mildly liked, wish he'd actually skate, and write readably.
-

-
His article about the Ipath team in Japan and his stolen jeep is pretty funny. When he goes in the room and Field,Rodriguez and Reed are doing yoga on the bed together and try to get him to join in and "At least they could have done some cool shit like leave me the air freshner"
-
I really wish I'd never read his blog, I could have respected him.
-
Skated with him and Welsh years ago in Navato when they had a temporary park with a mini ramp. He was a really nice guy and good skater, sometimes his purposeful stereotype writing grates on the nerves but he sometimes has a good point if you can wade though the nonsense.
-
it was funny when he talked shit on shilouh
-
he interviewed the board bangers on transworld, in a serious manner

That's what's wrong with skating right there! shame on tws for even giving these guys the time of day.
Fucking pathetic! take care of your own before adopting straight faggots!

yeah, that shit is BULLSHIT. just mainstream culture tryin to make some scratch off those of us that live it. As far as Clyde goes, big ups on a board, or with a pen or whatever. always been down with his writing or whtever, keeps it real. (here's where ya'll start the hate!!)
-
Is everyone just going to overlook the fact that Beautifull called Donny Barley a leach?
-
Barley is a true skater and loves it. I never liked alot of stuff he did but he's a good all arounder and how can you not appreciate him?

before we'd call bullshit on that and for the most part the real heads are, but we never had the mags backing that shit. Are they getting desperate or something? Army ads and now this? Fuck, I hope skating dies so it sifts out all the "kick pushers" energy drinks, and 20 sport shoe companies so it's just skating pure and simple with die hard skaters.
The only reason I'd watch that whole thing is to see if Clyde said something funny or clowned one of them.
-
straight faggots!
hm.
-
hm.
yes, a bundle of sticks.
I have a gay cousin just like you and I don't hate on gays. I just tend to use the word when I'm upset.
-
No one can hate on Barley. Raw as fuck, true definition of east coast along with Fred Gall.
-
Sanch, I'm pretty sure you're happy with what he did to Pharrell. Seriously, how gnar is that?
-

I didn't quite get it when he went off on Shiloh.
I know Shiloh said something to the effect that he didn't want to be lumped in with Clyde as a "mystery black skater" or something on the KOTR last year but I guess Clyde got super bent about the comment and went ballistic, calling Shiloh out on a bunch of stuff.
Funny how he referred to Shiloh as a pathetic drunk when he himself was made partially famous in Big Brother for getting wasted and pissing himself.
I like Clyde's blog, he's definitely a funny guy and a decent writer even though he tends to jock himself a bit too hard for my tastes.
Skate-wise, I loved his shit in 20 Shot and Trilogy but his later stuff never really did it for me.
I know he clowns Shiloh for skating for so-called wack companies like Bueno and Dekline but if I had to choose who's got more overall skills on board, Shiloh wins hands down.
I mean his TWS part was basically better than anything Clyde ever put out in his whole career, although I'm sure Clyde would have a bunch of shit to say about that, and it would more than likely be some funny shit to read.
-
first time i ever heard of him was in a TWS article where he describes how he got drung in Prague and ended up walking down some stairs on a bridge that ended up in a few meter high drop... and he took the leap and got some nice head injury... he then goes on to eplain what it was like in Prague hopitals and stuff...
i like some of his tricks, his 411 part was nice...
-
I quite like his writing - it stands out and is quite funny - I'd rather read his stuff than maybe 90% of the other skate writing out there; I mean when choosing between reading a dry tour/contest/shop article or one of Clydes pages there's no contest!
-
Hell yeah, Clyde is one funny ass cat. He's the first African American to drop a piece of fried chicken!!! That article had me on lollerskates.
-
Nicest 360 flip ever in TSA video credits.
REAL TALK
-
Clyde has amazing style and is one of the biggest personalities in skating. We need people like Clyde in the skate game. Id rather read his blog then watch a Fuel interview with Mike Mo anyday. And I agree the 360 flip in the TSA video was perfect.
-
Why not just read some writing written by a professional comedian?

I call it like i see it. What's wrong with wanting more from a so called 'professional' skater. It's like he'll only get coverage if someone forces him to. At least he can fade out respectfully as a "transition" skater. Look at Chris senn. He just skates bowls. No one expects more from him anymore and that's fine.
-
i heard a rumor that he (also) porked sheck's madre.
and if that wasn't a rumor, it is one now! enjoy.

I haven't read all the posts and I don't want to agree with beauty but...

Barley switch hard flipped a triple set, what has Clyde ever done?

Fell on a whiskey bottle.
I long for the days of the ignore button.

"clyde did this, clyde did that"
what are you doing?
im sick of hearing most of the tired opinions on here

yeah, i got about 8 seconds into it before I started to freak out. haha, sanch said "kick pushers". not clowning you, sanch, it just makes me laugh. how long before that's in Webster's Dictionary (if it isn't already!!!)

I don't know... You're critique is almost a testament to what he DOES. You stated he's "only funny half the time", "a sub-par writer", "and even worse of a skater".
This dude's pretty funny, writes an industry column (and gets away with it), and on top of all of that... he skates. This guy's doing something with his day. And I agree with the post author here, Clyde's points (although sometimes lost halfway through the article) are always focused towards the integrity of skateboarding.
The Pharell bash was a good one.
-
I think its kinda whack he's gonna start writing for transworld, that mag sucks with its shady clothing and slim jim ads
He always had the perfect ending to a skateboard mag
-
every mag sucks and clyde's column will suck in all of them. he made a tiki barber retirement move when he started writing, he will never put out a part ever again.
i'd rather read a mag where every pro picture is hated on seriously by another pro. cause some serious tension and maybe we'll get to see that markovich vs. fernadez charity boxing match.
-
wow
-
he doesnt even have anything to do with pro skating
and hasnt
besides talkin shit on other people who actually skate for like 5 yrs
this nigga shoulda added himself in the number one slot as pro skaters with only ten trikkks
shit i think clyde has more like 7 or some shit
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe
if he was sober
plus the nigga whines bout coverage and hardly has any footy
IN HIS OWN MUHFUKKKIN VIDEO
thats some got damn lazy coonfoolery bullshit right thurrr
i respect his og and all but
he dont contribute shit to skateboarding himself
writing blogs and articles is cool
but not including yourself as one of them ol ass washup up pros with no future as a pro skateboarder yourself is
coonish then a muhfukkka
specially when you are the epitomy milkman in the negro flesh
and how he gonna talk about shiloh gettin drunk
thats like the spade callin the negro nigga aint it
atleast shiloh can wake his drunk ass up and get more footy in a yr in a half
than
clyde has in the last TEN DAMN YRS
this nigga is crazy as hell
he thinks exploiting everything coonish and niggry about the negro man magniggacent via the skateboard media is more
RELEVANT THAN SKATEBOARDING ITSELF
you are a crakkk head
whoah
he should keep throwin up and pissin on himself while his crakkka ass HOMEBOYS film that shit and laugh AT HIM not WITH HIM
he aint foolin real negros with that bullshit
yall crakkkas enjoy him before his coon ass ends up on them same streets he used to skate in
again
nigga please

oh yeah

Anybody seen Clyde's shit on the Transworld site?
Pretty lame so far, why would he even go there? Never mind I'm sure it was money why the fuck else would anyone want to be associated with TWS?
The dude always assumes that people are super jealous of his life whenever someone says or implies anything negative about him or his writing or (lack of) actual skate coverage.
"You mad, Scooby?"
No, just wondering why your shit is next to the coverage of Sheckler's birthday party.
Oh and check out his blog, he even talks shit about M.F. Doom, even though he used a KMD graphic for one of his boards, nice one.
-
I like Clyde's skating but, is a fucking hypocrite. Him shit talking of MF Doom was funny though. Only great thing in that blog is the Beyonce pussy shot.
-
Dude's writing makes me cringe.
-
Did anyone on here remember when he used to MC the Tampa Am contests? Oh man, he was too funny! He had me and my friends rollin' for days with some of the jokes he would tell. Serious Comedian! Tamp Am these days is missin out.... Theres anew post idea....top 10 funniest skateboarders.....
