That has to feel crazy for him. going from having so much weight to nothing. I wonder how his skating will be affected

i love his attitude and positivity, so i feel somewhat dickish about saying i am glad they are gone because it made not want to watch his footage anymore.   he really held out though.

his skating will be 10x lighter, probably ollie up el toro and get S.O.T.Y

I've always really liked Adelmo especially after meeting him years back he's one of the nicest and coolest dudes you'll ever meet. I have to admit his hair was getting a bit distracting in his parts and even took away from them, I also can't help but think they made it harder for him to skate. Glad too see he finally cut them off.

thank god those things were wayyyyyy toooooo long.

they definitely affected his skating too. watch his part in its official then his part in lrg. he went from switch back heeling macba 4 to a bunch of pop shuvits over bumps in Thailand

I remember his first video part that I seen in the Arcade video:

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i_vNyPHO2c#)

Even then, he had dreads to his shoulders. I can't believe he hasn't even cut his hair since then. I am sure he will grow it out like Karl Watson did.

hopefully this will inspire everyone else who skates with dreads to cut them off. matt rodriguez and karl watson get a pass, but that's about it.

Herman cut his hair? When was that? I doubt he would go back to the skin head look.

Beagle cut his hair too:

I nearly decided, in a fit of gayness, to start a topic about this a while ago, I like the guy but I couldn't even watch his skating with those fuckin things swinging all over the place, glad they're gone, can't wait to see some new footy, since he's essentially lost 15lbs I'm guessing he'll have some serious ups

Perhaps the one and only scenario in all of skateboarding that makes this topic not completely fucking ridiculous.

Last LRG video I watched with some friends, it was unanimously agreed--hard not to get distracted by his hair.

Like Jef Hartsel said when he cut his dreads.  It's just hair.  Rastafari lives in his heart.  Or some shit like that.

i hope not  :-\.  even when some of us black dudes do it i'm not a big fan. only in certain cases.   when i see white guys with them it is sort of embarrassing.  

side note: did nick dompierre cut his too?   i had a transworld from a long ass time ago and he had short hair in his Check Out section in 2004 or so.  i don't think he had cut his since then either

yeah, dompierre cut his hair already, he has a DC commercial doing a fakie frontside heel down a gap where you can see him

Weird to see adelmo without dreads, but I think it was already affecting his skating too much; on his recent clips he was landing everything perfect and nice but always taking care of the hair, like moving his arms on a certain position everytime he landed something to keep it out of the way, it looked awkward sometimes

Having dreads is not a requirement to being a Rasta.

why is everyone trippin' on how difficult it was to watch his skating when he had long hair?  It's much better than watching the same pro/am with the same pair of chino's matched up with vans and a white t-shirt or flannel+orange beanie.  I remember him in an interview saying he wouldn't cut it  even if someone paid him, but hopefully he used this as an opportunity to win a bet or something.

he was going back to US after some random trip to Brazil and the tougth he was a terrorist or something.They cut his hair, and he went back to his home town all sad and all, but he read alot of the bible and that cheered him up, so now his smiling again.
Anthony claravall is in Brasil with walker ryan and they are going skating with tx, peterson and of course, adelmo.

Why would cutting his hair help with his Identification ? passport ? ID ? tons of websites with his name and photo / videos
and tons of ppl who could help with his ID

he could prob sue them now or something

we do but lately people have gotten a lot more regular and ify about religion. I don't think they could go so far as to shave his head though. On what grounds could they say it was justified? "He was hiding a bomb in his hair?"
