One in a Million - SLAP introduces the groms to New York - Ep. 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsnCZhaha4U&list=PL2DDE2D39D69D3210&index=4&feature=plcp#ws)
what a nice group of boys
best quote from the episode: "i'm down to make friends"
-
Only took a fuckin year! How about we change it to just John Cardiel talking the whole time?
-
Damn they all look really hyped to be there this should be good. plus cardiel.
-
i am backing the guy with the bad teeth
-
Life enthusiast
-
I can see how Slap our whoever wanted to promote more drama cause everyone seems like they are normal, kid skaters. No Forrest copycats I guess. Seems like it should just be good skating and less bullshit, which is a good and bad thing.
-
1) that took quite some time
2) not really down for 1 elimination every day, give them all a chance for some days
3) still looking forward to this series!
-
Is that Sean Mandoli's son?
-
i don't like the idea of the daily elimination either, a shitty attitude sure, tell someone to fuck off after one day but it seems odd to judge ones skating in just a day.

this, and i don't even remember watching half these dudes' video entries.

I'm taking Matt Militano for the win.
Actually, No, Cardiel for the win.
That kid is fucking good though.

matt fucking rules. he's been staying on my floor for weeks at a time since OIAM, just destroying shit.
all these kids were cool as fuck. i'm backing every one. all of them got down.
i haven't seen any of the episodes, the first episode looked really good, i'm looking forward to see how they all turn out.
-
What a bunch of faggots. There needs to be people like Forrest if this thing is going to be entertaining. No one wants to see a whole group of Mr. Nice Guys. The dude with the fro is sick though, I remember he did this really crazy line at the Brooklyn Banks.
-
About time. Matt Militanos entry video was really dope, I hope he ends up going far.
Who did that bennett grind? Shit was dope.
-
CONN
-
damn so many kids,,
-
Finally!
1 elimination a day doesnt make sense. How well you skate change so much on a day to day basis. They should at least have three days.
-
hope someone not from cali is gonna win.
-
Team Handsome isnt strong with this crew, maybe that baby faced Texas kid.
backing Matt Militano
-
dean denniston should have the name dennis denniston, that would be sick. also, no way alex conn is 19, at least 32...
how many episodes per week, and how long will each one be?
-
Team Handsome isnt strong with this crew
and it was last year?
-
I'm more interested on the bullshit Colin had to put up with in order to get that pay check.
-
They should introduce age cap of 18 or 19 next year because there is a slim chance a dude past 20 can make it in skateboarding. Takes a lot of skill and persona to do it. Damn, Forrest should have won last OAIM.

According to a reliable source, Matty and Reuben were getting a few boxes from Team Handsome at the time.

I know that guy James, dude is a ripper. Stoked to see a local dude in this again.

team haywood.
does anyone else find this a little bit lackluster? i mean this 'competition' happened how long ago? whoever won this thing obviously didn't make any big impact or even get sponsored...
-
DIdn't watch any of the entries, but all of those clips in between were pretty jaw dropping

I too, have love for the boneless (even if I suck at them)

or unemployed fast driving kid.
Couldn't care less about anything these kid's have to say, but am definitely looking forward to the skating.

Based on those intros, I'd suggest SLAP edit out any part where they talk. The skating was sick, and they all seem like nice kids...I wish them all the best, but this definitely isn't a group of scholars.
"I like, like pizza, and stuff?"
I guess being put on the spot of doing a first interview would be kinda brain numbing though

He says he's gonna boneless everything, and "I got love for the street grab." awesome

My sentiments exactly.
It would probably be pretty easy for anybody with a half decent editing program to make a "skate-only" version of these ep's. If a poster WERE to make a skate-only accompaniment a few days or so after each new one drops, I'm sure their rep would rise accordingly (So long as the music is equally classy)

Love the term "Life Enthusiast".

I enjoyed that - have been looking forward to the episodes as I'm sure everyone has been. Nobody stands out immediately (although that one dude should give up the goofy tommy guerrero thing he has goin on).

After watching the intros I can't help but be hyped for these. The 2010 series holds a special place in my heart since it was summer and I could actually skate, but these will probably get me out in the cold for some shredding. It's weak that people are being like "they aren't intelligent I only want to see skating".. There's more than enough skate clips with no talking out there.. The beauty of OAIM is getting to know these random ass awkward dudes.
I also just realized that Cards kinda looks and sounds like Rueben Barrack.
-
i don't like the idea of the daily elimination either, a shitty attitude sure, tell someone to fuck off after one day but it seems odd to judge ones skating in just a day.
Considering how long this took to make it's really fucked up that they'd eliminate a skater based off of one day of skating.
-
i like how the matt guy isnt afraid to show he is a justin beiber fan
-
Not to be a hater but did the Haywood dude from Cali get a spot? Compared to the other dude's footage his seemed pretty weak.
-
apparently no one wins because they didnt cooperate and just went and skated the city without following slaps ridiculous guidelines for the last couple days
-
SUPER DUPER !!!!!!!!
-
Why the fuck do people actually want to see shit attitudes? I just want to watch sick skating. The daily elimination sucks. I'm backing Jon Finucan and the scorpion falls for the win.
-
That lipslide to tre at 3 up 3 down made me go "hmmm." And I dug that line Tommy G did with the long 5050. Love these things. Bring on the episodes.

Thinking if I was in this, I would be eliminated the second day if this was the way they were eliminating. If I had the option to skate New York, the first day I would just be skating non stop all day and night and then day 2 would come around and I would be so sore and not wanting to try anything. This is what happens when I go on trips and such so this being a way a contest is decided is regular in my opinon
-
the kfc kid reminds me of eric cartman for some reason. other than that it seems like there way too many people, but i guess the daily elimination should solve that.

That would be the skatingest raddest skateboarding twist on a reality show ever! How sick that our peoples would have done it that way.
I was looking forward to OIAM too, but the "eliminations" by the judging panel is a bit unseemly to me: too much like a reality show meets a contest. It would be better if everyone would stay the whole time and then a single winner was announced by votes portioned out to:
SLAP voters
Judging panel
Guest pros
Each OIAM

Loved it but high ollie is fucked.
-
Seems like everyone is killing it. My favorite was that front tail pretzel at the ConEd banks.
They're seriously going to eliminate the first person based on that high ollie contest?
-
who ever has the smallest ollie gets elimintated!..... thats some stupid shit right there. imagine how fucked it would be being the one kicked off for not ollieing as high as the others haha so whack , man they should base it on there skateboarding. maybe little games will be how they manage to pull off that one cat kicked off a day shit.
-
shits fucked if they actually do that
-
HAHAHAHAHAHA WHY DID THEY REVERSE MATT'S TRICKS ON THE FLATBAR? at 5:40. those first 2 tricks were not switch in real life. what in the actual fuck.
oh my god everything just flew out of the window with that.
-
simoni, kennedy and militano top 3
-
I'm rooting for Mikey Haywood
-
simoni, kennedy and militano top 3
you can't claim that shit fool. with motherfuckers getting voted off for not ollieing high, who knows what the next elimintation will be. motherfuckers might have to limbo there ass into the next round, do you see matt militano limboing? hell no, he a lanky motherfucker
-
^"who bails the first kickflip is out"?
something like that. just play one game of skate "berrics rules" and let the winner win the whole thing. would be the same.
-
why wouldn't they just eliminate based on the skating
got most hyped by the noseblunt by the kid who doesn't skate banks
-
Mikey Haywood's use of the triple negative ala Alex Olson was tight.
They jumped the shark this year. Shit is too much with that wonky submarine-scope-lens.
-
High ollie contest elimination? Thats pretty wack.
-
Let's complete a list of people who are pro, but would be eliminated from OIAM due to
low not high enough ollies.
i wonder if joey brezinksy could ollie that thing.
seems like you can't make it in NY with no pop(s).
hoping for a "bs ollie off a sidewalk during the night"- challenge.

The part where they threw them ccs catalogs made my stomach turn.

-
High ollie is the elimination? Who thought of this shit? I hope the next elimination is based on who can slappy the longest.
-
did the dumbbell filmer leave steady shot on the entire contest or what?
-
Skating is good, but everything about this is so shitty. Why would you send a kid home after a day because he can't ollie some shit. So dumb. Whoever is in charge of this sucks. But Simoni, John and Matt Militano are killing it.
-
what a mess, they have an amazing group of dudes this year and silly challenges are gonna keep them from shining.
the production value went to hell as well, last years OIAM was probably the best all around.
-
This shit never would have happened if Whitely was there :'(
-
We miss you whiteley!

Some American Idol shit going down at the end.
And yes, they should judge it on the skating and not contests. It's like survivor or something.

-
"even in long beach this guys known... hes known everywhere.". (talking about Cardiel). LOL
-
Why not eliminate based on high ollie? I think that will be interesting. Would be just as random to base it off one day of skating and making a subjective decision on who wasn't "ripping".
-
that matt militano kid is an imposter. He skates like a laid back chill skater doing crazy shit but cries when he breaks his board doing a lipslide 3flip out? what a lame.

this whole editing is bizarre. i don't know that they did to a lot of the VX night footage either, it looks terrible now.

when you're out skating with all the homies and you break your board, you're bummed, because that means you can't skate for the rest of the day.

high ollies for elimination is the most regular shit i've ever heard of. what if you fuckin kill it but you're like 5'3?

Yeah, that was rough. I would have had less of a reaction had there been a 5 second "Brought to you by CCS" stinger somewhere in there. And I like how they directed the guys to be all, "Oh, dope! Can't wait to see what new and Stars 'n' Straps gear they got up in this bitch!" Note to marketing: a lot of consumers are much smarter than you give them credit for and seeing shit like this actually pushes us away from the brand you're selling.
-
man none of these dudes have a personality, yes its about the skating but fuck if your gonna have a show like this you need people who aren't going to put the viewers to sleep. Last One in a Million was so entertaining because of Forrest, but its only the first episode so i could be wrong. Also an elimination an episode? What a regular rule, slap ya fucked up!
-

This looks like it could be more interesting.
And $20 a day? Damn, that is pretty harsh. I have never been to NYC but I can imagine that if I had to push around SF all day and night with $20 a day and no access to a kitchen I would be eating pretty trife.
Edit: Hadn't finished the episode yet when I made my comment. I hope they don't use anymore HD fisheye (acid trip lens)... or any HD for that matter. And I am pretty hyped so far that all the kids seem to have good attitudes.
-
The corniness of this year's OIAM is actually pretty damn entertaining.
-
A high ollie contest hahahahaha
-
That mirrored flat bar shit was regular. I started tripping balls because I thought homie did a switch front feeble bigspin.
-
I'm tryin to see yr edit Mandible claw, looks dope!

Most hyped on Adam and Matt. Everyones skating is sick but the episodes seem wack so far. Really not feeling the high ollie contest elimination. Cant wait for the raw edit.

i'm still blown away by that. in fact i hard to rewatch it a minute ago just to make sure i hadn't been imagining it. i've never even heard of anybody mirroring a trick in a video before. what the fuck.

Not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch but here goes...first you start out w/fucked up "elimination contests" then start a rumor that, at the end, everyone says fuck this shit and bails in true hardcore skater fashion...hmmmmmm, sounds like a plausible way to keep folks tuning in.

this exact same thought came into my head just the other day aha. It's definitely plausible.
-
they should have had a best trick contest on a cellar door instead. whoever has the hardest time skating it gets eliminated. they should have hired bobby puleo as tour guide/ judge.
-
All those guys are funny looking
-
bobby would have eliminated everyone for skating his spots. he would have declared himself winner, but at the same time not acknowledged the contest because it is now 'too mainstream.'
-
These are just skateboarders with socially awkward tendencies. No need to judge their personalities and merits like it's your Mom's soap operas. Sick skating, shitty fact on the high ollie contest. Cardiel for the win.

THIS IS THE WORST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO NEWYORK CITY SKATEBOARDING...EVER

^why do you say that?
The skating in this episode was so damn good. Slap is the worst online video producer, the production value has dropped off like crazy, it can't have just been whitely that made the difference. The fisheye hd was the worst I've ever seen. I felt like a pedophile peeking through some apartment peephole thing.just needed the heavy breathing/odd grunting to complete it.

its funny comparing this oiam and the san francisco treat series. One is a huge breath of fresh air content wise, while the other chips away at what credibility slap has left.

Theres actually alot of good cheap eats here you can stretch $20 pretty good

I suppose it depends on how health conscious you are.
-
the dollar slice part was a joke, I meant there are better things to eat here that arn't that expensive.
Unless you only eat fair trade, organic, free range, tofu from farmers markets
-
No, I am not that bad! I am guessing I could survive off water and turkey sandwiches for $20 a day. I live right outside SF (Berkeley) and shit is expensive there. I can only suppose NYC is worse (and so I have heard).
Edit: And free range tofu. Ha! That was a good one I didn't catch right away.
-
I am sorry that was a bit harsh, but not backing it. The internet is devaluing everything
-
A high ollie challenge with the looser being eliminated is pretty interesting...
-
might as well hold the high ollie competition over a shark...
-
I hope the second elimination is a "most ollies in a minute" challenge.
-
I hope the second elimination is a "most ollies in a minute" challenge.
Yes, i hope that too.

Third Elimination "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10"
-
day 4: barrel jumping competition.
Anybody else think Billy Rohan comes off super lame with his scripted comments?
This could make sense as like a save type thng if we have to get all reality show on it. Like, they go out and film, and then have a contest so if someboy wasn't ripping that day they can still try to stick around, like an immunity challenge on other reality shows...ok, after typing that realize these elimination things are stupid no matter what.

Is forrest in this?

that matt militano kid is an imposter. He skates like a laid back chill skater doing crazy shit but cries when he breaks his board doing a lipslide 3flip out? what a lame.
c'mon no one is happy breaking a board, it sucks. besides he did the trick anyway. lipslides break fresh boards he did it with a broken board.

Its not like he even cried either, he was just bummed. If you don't understand being bummed breaking your board while trying a trick that you almost landed, or breaking your board at the beginning of the session, then you probably don't really even like skating very much.

And who the hell is that Lurker Lou charakter? If he would have tried to break my board I would have knocked him the fuck out
-
They axed the only dude I cared about. I'm not gonna bother watching the rest of these.
-
fuck man, i hoped that it was all a joke or something
shit sucks, can't believe they did this and that lurker lou dude is a piece of shit
-
Please tell me every time someone gets eliminated they get their board focused (by a person).
-
Yeah what was with him focusing Matt's board? Nicknames with alliteration remind me of myspace girls.
-
That sucked, I want my 8 minutes back.

In Lou's defense, the dude rips and my friend from Jersey said he was one of the coolest people he's ever met. I have a feeling that the producers just told him to do all that kooky shit and he went through it

OIAM is soooo wack this year :(

That was horrible.

how sick was it when cardiel laughed after he announced how they're going to be eliminated in the 2nd episode? its almost like he couldn't believe what the fuck he just said

haha they did the full on "please pack your knives and go" pan up to the exit sign
also these people say "like" way to fucking much i can't watch anymore
-
this is the dumbest shit. one of the best dudes with the best style goes home because of an ollie? OIAM is a worse idea than letting pillhead phelps pick SOTY.

That was fucked up that they let him go just cuz of some stupid high ollie contest after skating hard all day. The dude was killing it at both spots and gets jewed because he was sore. Slap, you guys fucked up on this one.

this whole shit is fucked. As a viewer the only emotion I get from this is disgust for the series. They tried so hard to make it a mainstream reality show that in the process, they destroyed everything that made the shows original formula not only interesting but inspiring.
-
fuck this shit. i was hoping matt would make it far because hes the best guy there. also lurker lou is a peice of shit
-
I suspect this has something to do with RIDE, the youtube channel OIAM is being posted to this year. Everything on that fucking channel just oozes cheeseballs. Anyone got the lowdown? I'm pretty sure someone / some people connected to Ride are the ones responsible for the
1) the shitty editing.
2) the shitty ideas.
I mean, even with the dumb ollie contest, they could have at least done something that redeemed the skating the skaters did during the day. I could have been there, skated nothing all day, but still would have stayed at the end of the day. How about exemptions from eliminations like most reality tv shows (assuming they have eliminations)? I mean, if they're going to make it like one anyways, you might as well take the good ideas from them too.
Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that the ollie contest was dumb dumb dumb. I don't really care too much about Rohan or Lou, they were more or less just there doing what they were told. Rohan was a bit more empathetic though...

FUCKING HOLLYWOOD SHIT!

All this bullshit is the doing of Alex Klein, yes this Alex Klein Alex Klein - Crime in the City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDGuZP5wP6E#).
Hes the one producing all the whacky challenges as well as the Lurker Lou board snap survivor style elimination. They wanted to play off the "Lurker Lou is a dick head" drama to attract viewers.
I skate with Lou a bunch, yeah he has a rep for being a dickhead and I hate it when people say "oh you just gotta know him hes nice" but Lou is actually a pretty nice once you do get to know him, dude rips but he will def know if your doing something whack. I even used to hate Lou when I was younger.
Matt hit me up after he got eliminated and said it wasn't even that bad getting eliminated cause now he could just skate around city for the rest of the time without worrying about doing stupid shit for OIAM, he's also flow skate mental now so its not like hes nowhere after all that.
The production value is also horrible all the audio keeps getting blown out when people are talking

yeah of course, talent like that doesn't go unnoticed. I'm still bummed though, especially since I liked Alex Klein as a skateboarder, but if what you say is true...lost respect for the guy.
So about Matt being able to skate in NY after being eliminated, was he on his own from there on out, or was it like "you're not on the show, but you can still crash here at night while you check out New York" ?
-
it's like the idea with slap instagram ... worthless.

Matt and the other dudes eliminated were sent off with the 5boro guys, so Matt was skating around with that crew the rest of the time. I think he was allowed to still stay there, if not he probably crashed at Colin (mandible claws) apartment.
Cant wait to see his version of it.

In that case, I'm not entirely pissed off. In fact, I'm glad he got to do some actual skating in NY. I was fooled by the drama of the show, because they clearly suggested Matt was packing his bags and going home. And I guess that's why nobody batted an eyelash over how ridiculous the concept of the show was this year? Everyone probably knew the show was just for views anyways. I would totally pick skating with the 5boro crew over doing the show too.
Also looking forward to a different edit. There's zero Slap charm this year, it has a whole different vibe from every Slap video I've seen.
-
Pretty fucked how Lurker Lou says he wants to see good skating, but then kids get eliminated from stupid challenges. I wonder if anyone was like, "Fuck it. I'm not going to get broke off just to ruin my chances of staying here and getting sponsored." and refused to skate hard during the day.
-
wow . . that episode was just . . . . . wow.
Hopefully the next elimination challenge will be something like this, but with skateboards instead of water skis:

Matt looked pissed when that kook was breaking his board. Thats so bogus they did that on top of kicking him off for not being able to ollie high enough. This shit sucks

I know i'm gonna catch heat for this...but...you gotta have pop for some of these spots i don't agree with skating all that shit (killin that midtown rail an con ed banks in queens) just to leave on an ollie but i can see why that they made that challenge (plus tolentino being there obviously played a part)
Lurker Lou is a dick to people sometimes but his Lurkers 2 part was one of my favorites can't hate on that..
that dude matt's skated here before he won a rohan contest like a year or two back i think he did nollie heel boardslide down this 9 rail shut the shit down basically...he doesn't/didn't need OIAM but i thought he was gonna win

SLAP really had nothing to do with this, the entire contest was pretty much out of their hands the entire time.

I think OIAM was looking for a Forest-like character to play a "the villian" to keep things interesting and Lurker Lou is that guy.
I can tell in the way they introduced all 3 judges
It's like he's the Simon Cowell of this series
-
I can totally see that by the end no one gave a shit, as previously rumored. I bet theyre a lot more "fuck this shit" and less nervous in the next "elimination."
-
Wow. I was really skeptical about all the rumors about OIAM this year, but its all true. That was fucking terrible. There are so many reasons that was terrible, and it blows my mind that nobody producing it realized it.
Have a contest that is based around going to a city and skating it, and then completely discount all of the going around the city and skating it? Are you serious? I wouldn't try at all at the spots the next day and would just save my energy for the elimination, and cruise the spots for fun. This approach will absolutely destroy the quality of skating in the street.
Alex Klein should be chased out of the industry for this, and I mean this in a purely economic/business minded way. The guy took the most successful product a brand had, and completely destroyed it. Who's going to watch this and think "I'm going to be part of this next year!" I would never trust this guy with a video project that I was in charge of. Its at 106 likes and 1065 dislikes now, I'm not saying I disliked it so much that I wouldn't hire him. I'm saying he took a video series that was wildly popular, and made it wildly unpopular. All he had to do was maintain the ship on clear waters, and somehow he managed to figure how to throw a rock in the ocean and intentionally hit it. If slap wants to put up a video that gets a bunch of likes, fire this clown on film as the final episode. So many people will hit that thumbs up.
Oh, and fuck all of the judges. First, if Lurker Lou is just acting that way to play up that image, he's lame as fuck, and is basically a low rent Sheckler (shitty reality star). Also, if I knew what was going down and what my role was in this contest, I wouldn't be ok with being in it. They all knew how lame this was going to be, and still proudly looked into the camera and said lame shit like "somebody's gonna have the pop and somebody's gonna get the drop?" Wow. Have you no shame? Embarassed for the dude. You could see Rohan being sympathetic, which gives me the slightest amount of sympathy for him, but while I was watching this, my hate wasn't going to whoever made this, it was to the 3 asshole judges who showed up at the end of the session and kicked a kid out for not ollieing high enough.

that's what i was thinking. they took something so good and made it so awful. the way the show has been, at the very least skaters get an awesome experience getting to skate a bunch of spots for a week, meet pros, make some friends. and, best case, get hooked up and have some great opportunities come out of it. why would anyone want to be on this to be publicly humiliated?

I counted 36 likes not counting the preview for the next episode. I could be off by a few. I can't believe I even bothered to do that.
-
That was bullshit.
-
Why skate at all during the day? Stupidest shit ever.
I know, right? Might as well have strapped on a pair of roller skates during the park sessions, then once back at the warehouse, do the ollie challenge on your board.
-
slap oiam . kill your self. lurker lou. kill your self. who let this turn to crap reality show might as well give everyone tans and give them to the clubs and start airing slaps jersey shore. screw this.
-
that would suck to get eliminated that way, that dude's bummed.
-
Its the fucking worst.
-
nate looked so bummed in every interview and shot of him. i dont think they planned for lurker lou to come off as a dick thats just how he actually is in real life, pretty cool guy though if you get to know him
-
Shit's stupid, doesn't need to be said again. Can't judge skating from a high ollie contest but dude shoulda been able to clear that low add bar. Militano will get somewhere with his flippity flop skating, maybe a spot on Almost so everyone can not give a fuck about him. And I don't believe how many people don't know Lou Sarowsky. Thought most skaters knew him, I'm not even from New York but it's hard to forget shit like wallride nollie out to backside 5-0. Dudes skating is memorable, the show just kinda makes him look like a kook but you're judging someone based on a combined 20 seconds of strategically and badly edited comments. So what if he stomped the dudes board, think he didn't get hooked up with a little product out of this, at least a replacement? It was a lame and probably staged dramatic act, and a failure, but not like it was insulting. Kid got a free trip to NYC and some widespread name recognition out of the deal. Done ranting, OIAM has been cheesy after the first couple times around, don't see why people expect it to be awesome.
-
why even have judges? you don't need to know dick about skateboarding, nyc, or shit to say, "uhhhh, you hit the bar. i guess you ain't no good" :-\
-
I enjoy the irony of Lurker Lou priding himself on calling bullshit on things he thinks are lame, even if people don't ant to hear it, yet does this shit.
-
Here's my stupid video break down:

Dude is the black version of that dude from that show.

Realizing that the point of the challenge is Element product placement.
(http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z414/James_Bonney/Picture13.png)
And to round it all up. Matt's expression of WTF?!
-
Well, this still beats survivor. Billy Rohan was the german officer that knew what he was doing is fucked up, and felt regret after doing the deed. Matt's a robot and he will crawl back into the industry somehow. Lurker Lou can keep lurking, seems like thats a good occupation for him.
-
I think the most valid criticism is that now the kids know that skating hard all day doesn't count for shit, they're going to coast then go for the elimination. This will immediately drop the level of footage I'm sure.
Also I want to see how they edit that one kid quitting because he realized it was bullshit.
And good job Whitely for jumping ship on this!
-
An ollie challenge? Seriously? How jockish can this get?
-
Gotta say I wont be watching this again, that was absolutely shit. Guy was one of the better skaters there and he gets dropped cos someone can ollie (roughly) 2 inches higher than him? Then breaking his board and shit for no other reason than the cameras? Kid must have been pretty pissed, I woulda knocked that Lurker Lou the fuck out.

just a few things guys,
alex klein wanted to make the most dramatic shit possible.
all the kids get bummed before the week ends and give up and no one wins
the focusing boards thing was predetermined, not lurker lou just doing it, which makes him not being able to focus it even funnier
and if you guys actually knew lou you would know:
he has the capacity of being much more of a hater and him in that episode wasn't anything crazy. think about the editing before acting like the only footage they had was lou, you'll see that editing is everything.
and the dude is more og than all you youngins, if anyone had a problem with lou its because your a little bitch ass
-
I hate how they say 'that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes' and 'that's the way the game goes', as if its just inevitable misfortune rather than the doings of their bullshit production.
It's not 'the way the cookie crumbles', its the way OIAM's fucking integrity crumbles

I probably wouldn't wanna be friends with the guy for fear of getting shit on verbally all the time haha. But his skating speaks for itself really...

Lurker Lou reminds me of this friend of mine in terms of looks and attitude. He is a nice dude once you get to know him though.

Most of my thoughts have been said, but I god damn, Lurker Lou(or the character he is portraying) is like a person who talks shit on dumb people.
-
woww what a regular way to eliminate someone... and that kid had more potential then the majority of the guys in this.. fuck this shitty oiam

last week i thought "high ollie challenge? yeah whatever.......I see a lot of complaining but i'm not bothered by it, it could be fun blah blah blah". this week though i'm kinda pissed with how the challenge turned out. its not about who lost, i guess its about a combination of interviews and manipulative dramatic editing but it all came across as rather shit.....

Lurker Lou is a fat nugget of shit who deserves his eyes gouged out with a rusty scalpel.
-
When I was young and just started skating I found a group of other skaters who had just started too, and we started up our own little crew. We would skate together all the time. I remember for the longest time we thought that whoever had the highest ollie was the best one out of the group. We didn't look at anything else, if you had the highest ollie, you were automatically the best one. We were kids after all. Every day we would stack up boards and other things like parking cones and pizza boxes and see who had the highest ollie, and the person with the highest ollie was declared the best one of the group, up until someone else tops them, then they're declared the best. Eventually as we started skating more and more we realized that a high ollie wasn't as important as we thought it was. We realized that good skating was more than just a high ollie, it's about style and consistency and what tricks you do, and that anyone who judges how good or bad a skater is based on how high their ollie is is probably a total tool... Oh dear, look at me, I'm rambling. What was I talking about? Oh yeah.... Fuck this show. I have a shit ton of negative things to say, but most of it has already been said in the past couple of pages or in the youtube comments.
-
you know what?... ill do the only thing lurker lou should do, and Ill lurk youtube for some matt footy. kid looks dope on a board
fuck this show... they dont eliminate anyone in jersey shore
-
They should just give Lurker Lou his own Show already.

kerry getz would have focused that board first try, no matter it's DLX wood whatsoever. he would have focused all the other dudes decks as well, popped over that stupid element thing on his way out. at least rohan is in there.

Pretty ridiculous the amount of shit Lou is catching from the children of the internet for this.� The only people hating on Lou didn't know who he was before watching this.
Mandible, are you required by contract or anything to wait for all the episodes to air before releasing your edit?� Do the skate community and everyone involved a favor and save us all from this second-hand embarrassment please.�
yeah dude that shit is the only thing anyone wants to see.
-
if they wanted to have challenges, they should have them do it for rewards instead of elimination. "save your legs, since you won the ollie challenge Cardiel will be doubling you on his bike around to spots today"
some guy in this thread mentioned survivor and it reminded of a game my friend and i would play on mini ramps that we called "survivor". everyone skates it at once with some contact allowed and the last one still on their board wins. at this point they might as well bring everyone back at the end and decide the contest that way

I knew who he was, some random NYC head who might have skated for 5boro, but really, do you blame people for hating the guy based on this introduction, he's being a reality show douche. If that's not who he really is, its worse. It means he's being fake for fame. The only people backing him are the ones pretending this show doesn't exist.
Its not like he's even a Team manager or anything. If they had Sam Smythe or somebody talking shit it would make sense- he knows how to choose 'em. This dude is just bitter and burnt out.
-
you seriously think that was a parody of reality shows? for what reason would they do that? this shit sucked because they wanted the views and drama that forrest got 'em, stop making excuses for these dickheads
-
I actually watched an ollie contest, with 3 judges. Fuck, you tricked me into some dumb shit.
-
even if it was scripted in an attempt at parody, they failed. i dont know why these old east coast guys always have to have a chip on their shoulder. like, yo dog, you dont even know, dudes og. who gives a shit. that was not creative or interesting in any way. lurker lou just made a fool of himself. if he wanted to act like an asshole, he should have gone all out. yes, they got people to talk about their show, but all that is being said is that it was annoying. why not have (as someone suggested) challenges for rewards, such as not being eliminated if you win a high ollie challenge. the thing is, people are going to watch this show whether there is drama or not. i guess we wont necessarily be blowing up the message board, but, you didnt hear this from me, but, there is a business side to skateboarding, and theyre not afraid to toss the word "marketing" around. on a side note, tollentino's high ollie was over a bent bar, so, yeah.
-
why were there judges for a high ollie contest?
-
Someone should focus Lurker Lou's beard.
-
The only lame thing about Lou was that he failed to break the board first go.
Will Billy Rohan risk his Element sponsorship by shouting out "Deluxe" at the end when the board won't break?

As it's been pointed out, SLAP, as in the people who go into the office every day and produce content didn't actually have much control over the project. From everything I understand, Alex Klein was given complete creative control in contract before the events of the week. That means the manner in which the contest was run as well as the way the series was edited. Honestly, nobody but Alex even knows how the series is going to end.
As far as the Ride channel, I don't really know why it's on there. I think that was more of a High Speed decision.
By the way, I skated with Alex Conn, Kennedy Cantrell, and Mandibleclaw last night. They all testify that Lurker Lou is dope.
-
I can't decide if straight up taking the video down is any more low than the series itself...

Joseph Gallagher is the guy who made Lurkers and Lurkers 2, He also did some of the Animal Collective videos.

Don't bother hunting it down. It was 8 minute of boredom (ollie challenge) and 1 awkward minute of Lurker Lou attempting and failing at stomping Matt Militano's board (he was eliminated). There was a reason it got 983 dislikes on youtube, shit was lame.

it was at over 2k dislikes by the last time I saw it.

I wonder if they're going to pull the whole show now. Why carry on for a few more weeks with something that got such an overwhelming amount of negative feedback. I mean, the SLAP guys obviously pay attention to the message boards... will they set themselves up for more hate?
Still down to see some good footage though. They should just scrap the contest part and just make a 15-20 min vid of a bunch of random kids skating the city.
-
I will be kinda bummed if they just scrap it. Although this shit was horrible, it is entertaining and i was looking forward to the rest. Ah who am i kidding I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

I think mandibleclaw is going to come through with that, and thank god. it would be tragic to see footage that these kids are capable of producing not see the light of day. especially at a city that has so many spots to offer. its kind of horrible that all this bullshit is happening during a "season" where the skaters are arguably the best OIAM has ever had.

I'm curious whether they will try to re-edit rest of the footage so it becomes less lame but also completely random, or if this thread just suddenly disappears and the footage is scrapped....

As much as I disliked the ollie challenge episode. It was fun to watch and it gave me something to talk about for a few days, instead of tackling real problems in life, like being an immigrant, maybe having an addiction to pornography and general body image issues.

kerry getz would have focused that board first try, no matter it's DLX wood whatsoever. he would have focused all the other dudes decks as well, popped over that stupid element thing on his way out. at least rohan is in there.

The episde got pulled because the filmer that filmed the nollie inward heel of Lou is suing.
The top three contestants had to suffer the consequences due to the fact that Slap cancelled the filming of the final episodes on the west coast. Jus put the breaks on the show and sent everyone home.
This is only going to ge stupider...

Why wouldnt they just take out that one clip and put it back up then? Seems odd to erase the whole episode from history because of that one mix up.
-
Maybe because they hated the response they got from the episode and saw the filming issue as an excuse to get rid of the whole episode instead of just getting rid of that one clip.

not SLAP. the producer, who had been given creative control. everyone else actually involved with SLAP, including the owners of high speed productions, had no idea he was canceling the show (not to imagine all the other shenanigans). when it happened everyone tried to basically fight him.

so whats gonna happen now? -confused ???

I just want to see the rest of the episodes for the sake of seeing how bad it could get, also
how could you fuck up the simplest formula for a successful show is beyond me, all they had to do was take the kids to spots and let them go at it.

allright i watched it and that lou guy doesnt seem half as bad as that announcer queer. he seemed more like good natured shit talking and you know that board focusing was put on by the producers. that whiny ass announcer going "if this kid has to go back to the hood" in the most bitched out art fag voice talking about the blak kid was the worst

Next elimination is "Soggy biscuit". For those who are not familiar, get yourself a biscuit, oreo/hobnob or something similar, from a flacid start you got to beat your meat and the last person who jizzes on the biscuit not only gets there board focused by luscious louise but also gets to eat the biscuit. Not sure if youtube are down with it though

took a lil road trip w/ lurker lou and some people many years ago. this was when 411 was still kinda relevant, and before Vicious Cycle came out. at one point in the car, one of lou's boys was sweatin him and sayin, "lou man, you got all this sick footie, give it to 411 for a wheels of fortune." to which lou replied, "nah man, im waiting for zered's video to drop. that's when im gonna show the skate world some new shit." very true story.
for some reason, ever since then, i haven't been able to take him seriously.
-

that nollie 180 into the black hubba was cool as fuck
-
That episode had some pretty sick shit actually. Too many kids though, can't really tell a lot of them apart.
The dudes I'm feeling I guess are little braces guy, green wheels guy, and blonde haired guy. Goofy glasses and impossible guy is kinda tight too. Not feeling afro one upping guy too much.
-
gap to 5050 was cooler because he thought about skating the spot that way.
Skating a park is a nice way to warm up.
Are the brooklyn banks actually gone? Aren't they right by there? If its still around its kind of a "must hit" for NYC, right?
That dean kid was rad, too bad he's probably done now. such a freak accident way to go out.
-

the banks are gone. well, they're still there technically, but are completely fenced in, covered in construction equipment, and surrounded by cops.

man how bummed is jake gonna be for agreeing to be in this.
i dont usually like impossibles, but simoni's out of the manual was nice, popped out 5 feet or so. colin freaking out at the end is funny for relatable/slap reasons. also the vx line footy is clearly the best non-skating decision in this years show. good job

They should make sure to include Jake Johnson footage in every episode.

So, it's a good thing to use outdated equipment, rather than get a modern rig that captures more detail at a higher frame rate?
Makes sense.
Seriously, I never got all the HD hate. Just cause some people don't do it right, doesn't mean it sucks. On the contrary, it's better. The VX had its time. Hell, it had a longgggg as time. It's time to retire it and move on, guys. Embrace change; don't be afraid of it
-
Why? How is it better? Vx looks amazing, what's there to improve on? Slap doesn't have the biggest budget either to just buy the newest hd shit, have you seen the hd fisheye footage from this year?its laughable at best. That's their options, and I'd take vx over that nauseating shit.

This years OIAM is kind of like a new medicore horror film. It has a lot of people starring in it who I can't tell apart because they have no interesting characteristics and i don't care when they are killed off.
-
After watching that clip of Kennedy, I'm a fan. That was a really good part. There's a halfcab flip into a hill in the part that doesn't seem like much, but I know exactly where that hill is, a friend of mine lives at the top of it, and rolling down it at all is insane. Its as steep as hills get in SF, and goes straight into a wall. I don't know how he made the turn with the speed he picked up even going from the point he did. The whole part was really good, his style is amazing and he does really cool tricks, but I wanted to point that one out because I bet most people didn't even notice it.

It's funny because if you look closely, AS Josh is landing his gap 50-50, you can see Mikey creepin' in back about to tell the filmer what his next trick is gonna be (which is the clip they cut to after that).
At the same time, I'm pretty sure they purposely edited it to make Mikey look like a dick haha

mikey is the black kid that did the gap 5-0 right? He's my favorite this year.

ummm...why exactly do you feel the vx can't be beat? That just doesn't even make sense to me. It produces lesser video quality, therefore it can't be beat ??? Now, I'm not saying it looks bad - that would be idiotic - but it just doesn't make sense why'd you'd prefer to see the same skate clip but in a lower resolution. I think some of you just need to hop off the nostalgia train. It's time to move on

You can never really tell by the angle. I've seen nothing hills made to look like something (see the "hill" with the hubba Silas wallied over, its NOTHING- though the trick was still a good one) and real hills made to look like nothing. granted, he's not going from the absolute top, I'm sure he's cruising.

There is a time and place for everything, Cali school yards look great in HD with a cliche slomo dolly shot, but something about skating fast though traffic just doesn't look right in HD, at least not as right as it looks on a Vx1.
Most Hollywood films are still shot on Film, while they make HD cameras now that can produce a almost identical image, why do they do that? because it gives you a look you just cant exactly get with Digital Video, you can come close but not spot on. should they get off the nostalgia train too?

dont even start the vx1 shit in here because mandibleclaws vx1 stuff is total dogshit so of course its appropriate to be bummed on it. good vx1 however is unprecedented.

I suggest you read more...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cinematography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cinematography)
You also have to take into account Digital filming has only been around for a few decades.
Nowadays, many movies are shot with a mix of digital and analog, with popularity of digital capture increasing every year.
edit: Not to mention, Hollywood films, whether shot with digital or film, both have very high resolutions.
In the case of the vx vs. modern-day HD prosumer cameras...it's not even a contest.
-
i'd love a vx 1000 reissue, that shots 4:3 and the same quality as the original vx, but records digital.
but i guess the market is not ready for taking a step backward and making the best out of old and new technology.

As for the second part of your post
"Most Hollywood films are still shot on Film, while they make HD cameras now that can produce a almost identical image, why do they do that? because it gives you a look you just cant exactly get with Digital Video, you can come close but not spot on. should they get off the nostalgia train too?"
1. I don't think you've been paying attention dude. More and more big budget Hollywood movies are shooting on digital since the advent of RED cameras and the Arri Alexa. For mainstream movies, shooting on film will be very rare by 2020. The major studios are pretty much trying to make all the directors use these cameras because you can't shoot 3D natively on film, you have to post convert it. Also, there's a lot less actual work involved when you shoot digital. They basically just want to save time and money.
2. The film vs video argument is not even close to being the same thing as the HD vs VX argument. Super 35mm has a resolution of around 5k and regular 35mm film has a resolution of around 4k. That's the same exact thing digital cinema cameras shoot. And don't even get me started on IMAX, there is no digital format that's even comparable to the quality that puts out. I get the point of what you were trying to say and I'm not trying to correct you or anything but what I'm basically saying is, shooting on film is practical in the sense of getting high quality images. There is no practical purpose for using a low resolution camera that was created in the 90s. When you shoot on vx at this point you're basically doing it for nostalgia. HD footage has higher quality than SD footage, period. This isn't even debatable.
With that being said, I don't even mind seeing VX footage. I don't care what someone chooses to film with as long as it looks good.

ummm...why exactly do you feel the vx can't be beat? That just doesn't even make sense to me. It produces lesser video quality, therefore it can't be beat �??? Now, I'm not saying it looks bad - that would be idiotic - but it just doesn't make sense why'd you'd prefer to see the same skate clip but in a lower resolution. I think some of you just need to hop off the nostalgia train. It's time to move on
There is a time and place for everything, Cali school yards look great in HD with a cliche slomo dolly shot, but something about skating fast though traffic just doesn't look right in HD, at least not as right as it looks on a Vx1.
Most Hollywood films are still shot on Film, while they make HD cameras now that can produce a almost identical image, why do they do that? because it gives you a look you just cant exactly get with Digital Video, you can come close but not spot on. should they get off the nostalgia train too?

As for the second part of your post
"Most Hollywood films are still shot on Film, while they make HD cameras now that can produce a almost identical image, why do they do that? because it gives you a look you just cant exactly get with Digital Video, you can come close but not spot on. should they get off the nostalgia train too?"
1. I don't think you've been paying attention dude. More and more big budget Hollywood movies are shooting on digital since the advent of RED cameras and the Arri Alexa. For mainstream movies, shooting on film will be very rare by 2020. The major studios are pretty much trying to make all the directors use these cameras because you can't shoot 3D natively on film, you have to post convert it. Also, there's a lot less actual work involved when you shoot digital. They basically just want to save time and money.

The graphic contest was pretty funny, some of the graphic were hilarious. But they should've not based the elimination on this, maybe the winner could have gotten like a free pair of shoes or some shit, but basing the elimination on this was so fucking ridiculous.

There's surely going to be something interesting happening here.", I stopped watching. And I think I've stopped watching for, like, EVR.

Sounded like Steve squashed the Corndog idea when the panel conferred.
I seriously don't get it though. Slap is always hosting photoshop contests nowadays and the level of artistry is on par with what I just witnessed in that episode. How does a "vague" ghetto scene trump a corn dog or a cownicorn??

it feels like OIAM is stuck in an outdated reality tv formula, which is sad in ways i can barely comprehend. I guess the only thing keeping me watching is the anticipation for the episode where everyone realises the bullshit and calls it quits.

the producer/director was given full creative control this time. last year, whitely had control. this year, alex klein was given control. he wanted to make it so it could be sold to a major network, etc. everyone disagreed and fought with him on it--all the park skating, dumb challenges, etc--but he had a contract and would not back down. he wanted the show to be "accessible to people who didn't skate"; he wanted it to be able to be watched by fucking football players. the judges, who i think ended up not being paid, were all so bummed and tried to change klein's mind at the end, but i guess they had signed contracts and couldn't get out of being in the final show. billy rohan quit. at the end, lou basically tried to fight klein. so did some of the contestants.
eventually, the contestants said "fuck this" to the challenges and interviews and shit, and refused to do them. another problem was the HD camera crew klein hired--they didn't skate, and didn't care about the kids. so finally i just stole them all from the house of vans and left all the HD dudes behind.

Damn. Thanks for fully shedding the light. It's weird because I kicked it with Alex Klein a good bit when I used to go to SF a lot, a handful of years ago. He was just a normal skate dude. I guess what someone said about his head getting big after the surfing doc must be true. It's hard to imagine a real skateboader pushing for this end product., but...whatever.
Can't wait for your edit. You should just go ahead and put it up. The skating is all anyone wants to see, anyway.
That's kinda sick Lou tried to fight him over all this.

As it's been said a few times, SLAP, as in the employees who run the site are bummed about how it turned out and had nothing to do with the goofy ideas.
I wasn't around for One in a Million, but here's my best guess as to how it got as wacky as it did:
Forrest pretty much made the show last year. Of course the skating was great, but OIAM wouldn't have gotten nearly as much attention if he hadn't been in it. Like Omarossa, Puck, The Situation, or whoever, the wacky characters are what attracts people to reality TV. And don't try and act like OIAM wasn't a reality show last year too, because it was. It was just really well done. But of course, you can't just go on a "new Forrest" search. So instead, the producer/director adds the elimination factor to replace Forrest as the source of drama.
Unfortunately, those ideas were all garbage (and as it's been said, they get even worse) and since the producer/director had been contractually given complete creative control, the new employees of SLAP (Whitely stepped down right before OIAM) couldn't do anything about it. Eliminations might have even worked if skating remained at the forefront of them, but who knows. We'll see how it turns out.

way too much skating in this episode.
Exactly.
Last year was soo good. Why would one ever change it. I dont get it at all. Can someone from Slap pls comment on that?
As it's been said a few times, SLAP, as in the employees who run the site are bummed about how it turned out and had nothing to do with the goofy ideas.
I wasn't around for One in a Million, but here's my best guess as to how it got as wacky as it did:
Forrest pretty much made the show last year. Of course the skating was great, but OIAM wouldn't have gotten nearly as much attention if he hadn't been in it. Like Omarossa, Puck, The Situation, or whoever, the wacky characters are what attracts people to reality TV. And don't try and act like OIAM wasn't a reality show last year too, because it was. It was just really well done. But of course, you can't just go on a "new Forrest" search. So instead, the producer/director adds the elimination factor to replace Forrest as the source of drama.

Seems like a lot of people tend to forget that OIAM caught a lot of flack last year for the "reality TV" format that the show was done in. It was infinitely better than this year, but it was still a fairly regurgitated TV format. The big difference, though, was skating was still at the forefront. There was drama, and interviews, and all that, but the whole contest was about skateboarding. It was a reality show about skateboarding, not skateboarders on a reality show. The finger painting challenge had nothing to do with skateboarding, and could have made as much sense (none) on any other bullshit TV show.
They could get fat people to Crayola what they want to look like in the future, of Trump could have them make macaroni pictures that represent their newest business plan.
This has nothing to do with skateboarding.

Wow this was the worst episode yet.

I initially thought he was busting up weed when they had the first shot of his hands blurred, but it looks more like he's holding something with a logo they couldnt show
but I thought things would pick up.� Until I saw this:

eventually, the contestants said "fuck this" to the challenges and interviews and shit, and refused to do them. another problem was the HD camera crew klein hired--they didn't skate, and didn't care about the kids. so finally i just stole them all from the house of vans and left all the HD dudes behind.
so yeah. it was a fucking nightmare.
I know that dude Tyler skates and I thought I saw him in the back with a dslr rig in one of the episodes, that sucks if he was down with all that silly shit.
If you have any behind the scenes "dude fuck this" kind of footy please put that up

The government needs to pull the plug on OIAM. throw the files into some blackwater...

Holy shit! They did not just break out markers and shit for an immunity challange! These muther fuckers not graphic artists. That is why they hire graphic artists to do this shit and leave the skating to them.
If Slap was smart at the time, they should of did what any reality show company would have done and did a spin off series with Forrest. Maybe follow him as he tried to become an AM/pro for a company.

Maybe, just maybe, Alex made the show so kooky that it forced everyone to blow it off in a scene of reality-show hyper-confrontation - complete with Lurker Lou engaging in fisticuffs - providing Alex with his desired mass-appeal drama gold. In this case he is an evil genius who's master plan went right over your heads.
Think about it...

So by the end of it, the rest of the skaters all boycotted the whole contest? I actually think that might be the best part of the show. Have it end in dramatic fashion where there are no winners.

They could have fired alex klein at any point before the guys quit/refused to participate. He also would have had to pitch the idea/premise to slap, so they aren't innocent, and likely knew exactly what was going to happen. How no one predicted this current backlash back during pre-production is surprising, and kind of pathetic.

this is honestly all i've thought about since i saw the high ollie contest episode. alex klein is trolling the hell out of the entire skateboarding community. we're onto you klein!

Gonna be interesting to see how they attempt to wrap it up with everyone quitting
Mandible, looking forward to your montage/video, did you get a chance to interview any of the guys
-
on an unrelated note that was a focus of debate before the show was made: nobody seems to be refusing to skate any NYC spot because its too sketchy. They commented on the roughness of con-ed banks, and then the kid who says he never skates banks noseblunt slid it

I really hope they pick up the pieces and do a 2011 style OIAM in 2013. This shit is terrible but the concept still kills.

I'm really starting to think this is a kind of genius move in order to show where skateboarding is going. I'm thinking all the shitty scenarios are made on purpose in order to see to what extent the skateboard community can accept the direction where the skateboarding is going.
It reminds me of PETA showing how they kill animals to show the cruelty of the food/fashion industry. I have the feeling it's a kind of artistic protest against what skateboarding is becoming, but it's really hard to find out wether it's made on purpose or not.
-
In addition to everything else that's hilarious, I find it funny that there are people on Slap who don't know who these judges are.
And also, the editing is pretty confusing in this sometimes, people just pop out of nowhere. Like that kid with the glasses and facial hair, I can't recall any footy of him in these 4 episodes, I think he was introduced in the first ep but then became invisible.
-
Yeah, I noticed that too. He does have a couple of random clips here and there e.g. fs180 switch nosemanual at the skatepark.
Being naive I told myself the invisible candidates were going to kill it later on. Unfortunately I was mistaken when skate footage was trumped by ridiculous colouring contests.
I swear to God, if one of the next challenges is to bake a dollar slice of pizza I will purchase the remaining stock of Alex Klein decks and burn them.
With slap in mind, I'm sure Alex thought a carpentry class with Popps would fly too.

the producer/director was given full creative control this time. last year, whitely had control. this year, alex klein was given control. he wanted to make it so it could be sold to a major network, etc. everyone disagreed and fought with him on it--all the park skating, dumb challenges, etc--but he had a contract and would not back down. he wanted the show to be "accessible to people who didn't skate"; he wanted it to be able to be watched by fucking football players. the judges, who i think ended up not being paid, were all so bummed and tried to change klein's mind at the end, but i guess they had signed contracts and couldn't get out of being in the final show. billy rohan quit. at the end, lou basically tried to fight klein. so did some of the contestants.
eventually, the contestants said "fuck this" to the challenges and interviews and shit, and refused to do them. another problem was the HD camera crew klein hired--they didn't skate, and didn't care about the kids. so finally i just stole them all from the house of vans and left all the HD dudes behind.

Well thanks for the info. Fingers crossed Slap can do OIAM 2013 like it should be.

You guys should put him into the next format. He is a character and he might be down. Think about it.

I hope the season ends Bukake style.
Like, all the kids turn on Alex, and he says he's sorry and he just got caught up in it all.
And the kids say they'll only accept his apology if they get to Bukake him (the of-age kids, of course).
p.s. I really hope that doesn't happen. The kid playing with his penis might like it, though.

dude didn't even make the original list of finalists, he was a bonus finalist or some shit like mango... but his video was terrible. objectively terrible in comparison with plenty of other finalists. he makes it somehow, then he introduces himself saying his friend was shot because he lives in a bad neighborhood. shit's sad of course, but hear me out, that's marketable as fuck (one of the most important things about skateboarding is being able to market yourself, remember?). on the ollie contest they have that dude talk about how mikey "can't go back to the hood" on the first elimination. he pretty much has the most screen time as far as i noticed. then mikey talks about his graphic being representative of his hard life and they play up his graphic and make him the winner when it honestly could've been anyone's game. the rules for judging seemed super arbitrary, one dude gets shit for putting his interests on it, but then they praise mikey for representing himself on the graphic? either mikey is predetermined to be the winner on some "pimp my ride"/rags to riches type shit, or everyone is afraid of/sorry for him.

Is it just me, or is Mikey a bit annoying? He get's a little too excited whenever Cardiel shows up (I'm sure anybody would be, but he seems to take it a little far, no?). He also kinda stole that gap to grind trick at the hubba, literally the moment the other kid landed it (look back at the video, as the kid lands it, mikey is already walking up behind the cameraman to tell him the trick he's gonna do). But at the same time, I'm not surprised. It's like the show is conditioning these kids to show off as much as they can.

They probably focus on ?mikey? because he is dumb and doesn't question what they have to do, and yea the marketing too. Look at him when it gets announced they have to draw their own boards, he gets excited.
But really he is in the 'reject weekend' video so I don't see how he could be a finalist. Adam simoni was the only guy I noticed wasn't in that video.

Yeah, even if that kid that did gap to 5-0 said he didn't care, that was still lame on hoodkid's part. Gap5-0kid patiently waited for his turn... then hoodkid just tries to one up him right after.
-
You guys are being way to harsh on Mikey. The 5-0 thing was lame for sure, but he isn't really focusing on the hood thing that much, he mentioned it at the beginning, and he mentioned it once with the board thing. He could be throwing it in people's faces and talking about how he does everything a certain way because of where he's from and this and that (and plenty of people do), but he really doesn't.
And talk shit on his video all you want, he's done some sick shit so far in the contest, his noseblunt on those banks, the noseslide down the sketchy indoor set rail, the gap to 5-0 actually was really gnarly, albeit kind of a biter move. It's not like he's terry Kennedy who was really terrible for the first 5 or so years of his career but got by on his image.
I came on to this thread though to refute the argument that it can only get worse from the coloring contest. That shit was boring, useless, and got in the way of skating. If the later challenges get worse than this they will probably be more offensive, and will have more of a trainwreck feel to them.
Also, anybody think these guys are probably less boring than they are shown to be, but that everybody becomes boring when forced to answer boring and stupid questions.

Yeah, perhaps you're right. It's not like I'm not open to the idea that he's a completely different person off the camera. I guess you could say all my opinions about Mikey are only on what's shown on the videos. I know people tend to vary in personality between real life and how they act in front of a camera. I don't blame him, I just enjoy the parts where he talks lol

dude didn't even make the original list of finalists, he was a bonus finalist or some shit like mango... but his video was terrible. objectively terrible in comparison with plenty of other finalists. he makes it somehow, then he introduces himself saying his friend was shot because he lives in a bad neighborhood. shit's sad of course, but hear me out, that's marketable as fuck (one of the most important things about skateboarding is being able to market yourself, remember?). on the ollie contest they have that dude talk about how mikey "can't go back to the hood" on the first elimination. he pretty much has the most screen time as far as i noticed. then mikey talks about his graphic being representative of his hard life and they play up his graphic and make him the winner when it honestly could've been anyone's game. the rules for judging seemed super arbitrary, one dude gets shit for putting his interests on it, but then they praise mikey for representing himself on the graphic? either mikey is predetermined to be the winner on some "pimp my ride"/rags to riches type shit, or everyone is afraid of/sorry for him.
i was being fairly serious actually. it's really not that far-fetched of an idea.

They probably focus on ?mikey? because he is dumb and doesn't question what they have to do, and yea the marketing too. Look at him when it gets announced they have to draw their own boards, he gets excited.
It would be so funny if all the contestants decide to just quit with the bullshit and one guy cluelessly stays on. Then the last 3 episodes would just be him doing all the challenges by himself.

makes the most sense to me. and if mikey hadn't been in the reject weekend video i would've bet money that he took the whole thing. alex klein is willing to shit all over a respected series to the extent that the first few episodes show, for the purpose of making it entertaining to non skaters and to sell it to a network; i wouldn't put it past him to just rig the whole show. especially when he knows that the eliminations he's making don't take into account one's actual talent in skateboarding. so he never has to worry about his predetermined choice not coming through during the day and getting eliminated for not being the weakest link. maybe the kid with the braces if he wasn't in the video, i think non skaters would be hyped on a random babyfaced kid becoming a pro.

dam.
i thought these kids were actually pretty good skaters too...

Still sucks but at least Mikey got called out for his one-up and they highlighted Finucian's Ragdoll ride outs.
I'm surprised the artist dude is still in there.
I wish I was a psychiatrist or something so I could interpret the body language of the guys as they stood in line and listened. My inexperience tells me they were non-plussed by the whole deal.
-
that one-uping shit was stupid. Just because he did a trick that was probably harder doesn't mean it was a better trick.
-
At least this time they judged the people from their footage.
Also--why was Cardiel only in (barely) 2 episodes when he's supposed to be the host?

Why did Nate get eliminated over the other dude? He got good tricks and actually landed them. This doesn't even make any sense...

referring to the switch oillie as an "O" I too had no idea what lou was talking about. even after i saw the ollie clip it still took a moment to click.
"I learnt my lesson not to skate" had me rolling with laughter. I hope he was taking the piss when he said that.
telling that guy not to do the no grab benihana is bullshit! that trick looks fun as fuck. do what tricks you want
the lack of skating and the dramatic editing pissed me off. when lou walked up to them and snapped their board all i could think was how OIAM has turned into this

that's terrible.
Call me crazy, but at least this episode was rational. If they had nothing but street skating footage and every few episodes had a recap or even judging (based on footage)it might be cool, of course, last episode was coloring. They called them out on the right things, though apparently that was staged. its all shitty, but had hints of positivity.
Also, wasn't the point of the coloring contest that Mikey got immunity? Why even put him up there and tell him he can stay?
Steve Rodriguez: "Nate, as you know, I know you"

really? I mean its neat in a novelty way, but the alot of people on here complain about people doing "YO-Flips" I feel like thats just him doing a "YO-ollie"
-
So the producers told mikey to one up the kid, and then mikey gets shit for it from the judges? This is horrible. At what point does everybody leave? Thats what I really wanna see.
-
anyone else find it annoying how when the 'judges' were rattling off people's tricks, they didn't even show all the clips being mentioned, like mike's kickflip of 'that huge street gap'. even on an episode focussed on footage it was again hugely overshadowed by forced dialogue, ugh.
so weak if that's true about him being told to do the 5-0 as well.
-
this left me feeling not so stoked on skateboarding.
a harsh reminder to the unspoken "rules" in skateboarding.
seems so distant from the simple act of going out and just crushing the streets with your homies, then being stoked on how far you progressed each other in terms of tricks done at spots. the whole thing wreaks of a not so friendly smell...
judges, prizes, having your board destroyed because you lose...
pass the board onto a kid who needs it instead of rendering it useless, be stoked that kid skated the ledge like nobody else and he immediately sparked the inspiration for another trick to go down it. i saw progression, not one upping.
but hey, who i am i to speak, just somebody pushing through the streets with no sense of direction other than which way rolls better.
-
That Finucan dude doesn't seem like the brightest dude ever, I like his skating a lot though.

yea i feel you on the harsh reminder opinion; this whole thing reinforces all those weak unspoken rules.
the benihana's are cool, complaining about the kid's sketchy landings is soft, and mikey's 5-0 didn't seem like one-upping to me -- for them to criticise the kid for that just seems petty.

This is so depressing, this show sux...

Its sad to see people that seem so real, so quick to sell out for a reality tv show. The idea of the show and the way Steve talks down to these kids is the exact opposite of everything he believes, yet here he is...

Still, fuck that. I know the guy. I'll buy the boards. He could be wearing a clown suit on TV for all I care. It'll take more than some shitty webisode portrayal of him to extinguish the years of good work he's put in around NY.

Is steve rodriguez really "selling out"? I cant imagine slap having a big enough budget to pay him a large amount of money. If FOX was producing the show then I could see it. Not sayin he still wasnt manipulated by the producers to say dumb shit.

I could see Steve Rodriguez stoked to be a part of OIAM without knowledge of what it would ensue. Afterall, last year was fucking dope so who wouldn't want to be involved.

All the guys, really. It seems like one of those things that you're kinda weary of while it's going on, then in hindsight it's like "What the fuck was I doing?". All the hosts and judges are legit dudes, that seemed like they all signed up for something that could have been really cool, and out of nowhere turned out way worse than any of them could have imagined. Keep in mind, even though it's been weeks for us watching it, it's only been two days for them. I think they're still in the "Is the shit for real?" stage, and haven't moved on to "Fuck this" yet. Cardiel obviously dropped out, and from what Mandible says, the rest do the same. Getting blindsided like that might take a few hours to set in.
Or maybe not. Who knows. I'd just like to think Cardiel, Steve, Lou, and the rest of those guys have a more vested interest in what skateboarding really is, and not dropping all that for the sake of a terrible reality show.
-
Is there a reason to watch this new episode? I don't want to sit through the bullshit for no new footy.
-
So every day is spread over three episodes ?
1. Footy
2. stupid Immunity Challenge
3. footy review and judgement?
= 22+ weeks?
There are only 13 episodes, so I don't really know how it was condensed for the rest of the days.

The part where Lurker Lou snaps the kid's deck is so dramatic. They should've got Ty Evans in on this with the triple slow-mo.

All you guys trying to give Klein the benefit of the doubt that this is some experiment are missing a big part of it- even if it is, he's still a prick. To ruin a franchise and exploit these kids who are skating their asses off and humiliating themselves to prove some contrived point of a master's thesis is the epitome of selfishness. Those kids aren't toys to be manipulated.
Also, some are minors and doing experiments which cause trauma or are targeted towards manipulating minors will not get IRB approval, so its not anyway.

It's funny how fast it went downhill. A lot of the people that came out of OIAM in the past, are now currently people I love to watch, Randy Ploesser, Jake Donnelly and a few others.
Couldn't agree more with a follow-up Klein interview. I have some mutual friends with Alex Conn, Klein is behind a lot of the stupidity, reality-tv b/s and there needs to be some accountability for ruining something that I personally HELD in high regard as far as internet content goes.

With that being said.. Even if this whole Klein production is the truth (which I'm sure it is) Lou seems like he is WAAYYYYYY too into it. What's the deal? If Mandible's shit is true that he tried to fight Klein and shit at the end, couldn't he have shown a little bit more not-giving-a-fuckness during the show? I am so fucking confuse, and I am so fucking drunk too.

"that shit would never fly"?
oh... damn. so, what about when you're on tour with a team going spot to spot and, one dude does something better then the other dude. is that an immediate fist fight? idiot. it's not like the kid did it to spite him, he was inspired by a new idea & added to it. just like everything. doesn't take away from the other dude having an original idea.
You guys seriously don't get it? The kid went out of his way to skate it a different way, and as soon as he does, somebody else happens to think of it too and do a slghtly better variation of it? That's not coincidence, that's biting. If you think you can go to spots and one up dudes immediately after they do tricks and that people will think you are cool you're an idiot. If I see a dude putting it out for the glory I let him have it and keep doing my own thing, I don't think "I'm going to do it better!" There is etiquette in skateboarding and that was genuinely bad etiquette. You are supposed to ask first at the least. Now, having people step forward and answer for the decisions made while skating and judging them like that is lame, but really, if they are going to do it, thats as legitimate of a thing to call out as any.

I think that the best year of OIAM was the one with Tom K. Good skating, no kooks, good filming, and no elimination.

yeah I wouldn't call a kickflip down some stairs as thinking outside the box. When you go to a spot and you put some thought into what you want to do, and land something nobody else is doing, you don't deserve to be out-done by a fellow skateboarder.
I guess that's where you draw the line. You could say there's a certain level of respect that's due to someone who does their own thing. Take this hypothetical example: What if the moment Duane peters did his full loop, someone comes up behind him and does it switch and steals his shine? That's pretty disrespectful if you ask me. I'm not saying Josh's trick is as revolutionary as the loop, but he put the effort into thinking of his trick, what did Mikey do? He stole an idea, and that's like...a violation of intellectual property rights and shit...hah

Especially because Josh seemed pretty excited that he thought to skate it like that. Everyone else was doing tricks on it and he said something like he knew he could keep up with those guys, so he thought he would try something different. Then after battling the gap to 50-50, Mikey announces he's going to try a gap to 5-0 seems really shitty to me. Fuck, I would have been fine with him even asking josh if he could try the gap to 50-50 with him, like trade tries, but to wait for him to land it and then try to one up him seems sketchy. And to everyone saying that this isn't a big deal--Nick Merlino admitted for doing this exact shot and snaking people got him dropped from Baker flow right before he got added as am.

ok that was a shitty comparison. But isn't this a competition? I know that sounds shitty but the point of the series is kind of to show what you got. I'm sure that goofy looking kid that got one upped wasn't bumming too hard on it. And what can you expect from a competition where they just had a high ollie contest?

I guess so, but judging skateboarding is all subjective, so even if you're "better" doesn't necessarily mean everyone is going to like you. Originality is pretty important, and maybe just as important as how hard the trick is. Some tricks are fair game because skateboarding is progressing at such a fast pace that it's hard to do something completely original, but in Mikey's case, it looks highly unoriginal to steal an idea during the same skate session. I know explaining this "rule" may sound kinda lame but that's the way I see it. I know it's a competition and all, but it is a skate competition, and those unspoken rules come with the territory.
-
The fact is Mikey would have never skated it like that without that other kid doing it first. I think the gap 5-0 was out of line, he straight copied and one upped him. You dont do that kind of shit. Think of your own trick to try. Competition or not it speaks badly for your character, in my opinion.

All you guys trying to give Klein the benefit of the doubt that this is some experiment are missing a big part of it- even if it is, he's still a prick. To ruin a franchise and exploit these kids who are skating their asses off and humiliating themselves to prove some contrived point of a master's thesis is the epitome of selfishness. Those kids aren't toys to be manipulated.
Also, some are minors and doing experiments which cause trauma or are targeted towards manipulating minors will not get IRB approval, so its not anyway.
I was actually going to say this exact same thing.
And I concur. A Jenkem interview with Alex Klein would be interesting.

Fine. It was all a set up anyway so its moot. The key thing is that poor Mikey was made to look like a chump so the producers (aka Alex Klein) would get more drama, which is really stupid

a contest is a contest. it's not like he was snaking turns or disrespectful to anyone like you said. & maybe he didn't skate it while the other kid did so it wouldn't mess with him or bum him out. the kids didn't seem to care at all. i think they just really had to add drama wherever possible. looking at skateboarding like that is totally negative. everything progresses eventually.

nah dude, gipper's on point with this one, that shit is only cool in like the maloof money cup or the xgames or some shit. this may be a contest but they're essentially just going out and having a regular session at a spot, it wasn't a best trick competition. the proper etiquette is to ask the dude if he minds that you try it when you go for it that soon after he's done it, to which no one who isn't bobby puleo would object. it's a formality but it shows that you aren't doing it for the purpose of shitting on the other dude, you just wanna try the trick. but actually, it would be funny if klein, in arranging that, did it for the purpose of teaching all the kids watching that that shit isn't cool, cause most kids really don't know and do that shit all the time at skate parks like it ain't no thang. but it's a going overboard to say "let the dude live" as if no one is allowed to skate something the way you did it if you're the first to think of it.
i can't lie though, that gap to 5-0 was tight as hell, i ain't mad at it.

i might just be too stoned or too stupid but, your wording & sentance selections really just confused me. you go back & forth in between points. ever spot is created by someone skating it a certain way. there's a first to everything, therfore an 'original'. the dude from lbc may have done a trick that's considered "better" then what the first kid did but, the first kid made the original idea & followed it through. the concept that someone did a harder trick on the same spot afterward never should take away from the original trick/skateboarder. like i said it didn't seem like it was attempt at spiting the first dude, just a kid getting inspired to do a trick on a new obstacle. you guys should be hyped on that.

I'm so down for Dean. That kid definitely just comes off as weird to me. Between the end of that one episode where he's telling random stories about him and his friends while he's getting stitched up and shit, and his general approach towards skating, both reckless and filled with weird tricks make him come off as genuinely eccentric. The judges seem completely weirded out by him and don't know how to say that they think he is weird as fuck but that somehow it works. Its great. I love people like that.
If anybody comes off as trying to be funny its probably Josh, but I like him anyway. I like all the kids, I think part of it is the fact that I feel for these genuine kids who are all legitimately good skaters being put through some phony bullshit that everybody hates by some fake ass motherfuckers, and are handling it well despite the fact that there's no way they could have expected this... can't wait until they walk off though.

Agreed on pretty much all accounts.
And, real talk, at the risk of sounding too gay, it's cool hanging out with people like Dean - always in a good mood, light-hearted, free-spirited, etc. People that give off good vibes are good to be around. And I wish I was more like that sometimes, instead of being so darn jaded and pessimistic

We're laughing at him, not with him. If you think the only people who think watching coloring contests are stupid know how to kickflip you are a moron. This thing is a car wreck and its fun to laugh at what a stupid asshole Klein is, no more, no less. If you want to say he's a genius because he exploited kids and ruined his reputation for some minor entertainment, fine, but there are less socially and personally damaging ways to do that. He still failed.

This contest is fucked but I'm not going to lie, the barrel jumping was kinda crazy. That seems super sketchy.

You guys are being way to harsh on Mikey. The 5-0 thing was lame for sure, but he isn't really focusing on the hood thing that much, he mentioned it at the beginning, and he mentioned it once with the board thing. He could be throwing it in people's faces and talking about how he does everything a certain way because of where he's from and this and that (and plenty of people do), but he really doesn't.
And talk shit on his video all you want, he's done some sick shit so far in the contest, his noseblunt on those banks, the noseslide down the sketchy indoor set rail, the gap to 5-0 actually was really gnarly, albeit kind of a biter move. It's not like he's terry Kennedy who was really terrible for the first 5 or so years of his career but got by on his image.
I came on to this thread though to refute the argument that it can only get worse from the coloring contest. That shit was boring, useless, and got in the way of skating. If the later challenges get worse than this they will probably be more offensive, and will have more of a trainwreck feel to them.
Also, anybody think these guys are probably less boring than they are shown to be, but that everybody becomes boring when forced to answer boring and stupid questions.
There's something weird goin' on in the drawing challenge. Obviously none of the judges have art history degrees, but Steve Rod has worked in advertising and 5Boro is always looking good, Lou puts paint on shoes and walks on things, you know he's up in dem art shows, look at that beard...Can't speak for Rodney's aesthetic sensibilities but he sometimes matches his hat and shoes which should be an automatic DQ...
Bottom line: All of that artwork was fucking unbelievably terrible and Mikey's was amongst the worst. He is clearly, whether on his own or at the behest of the producer, emphasizing the "hood-ness" that he embodies, which is a cheap trick at best. "Cops chasing people..." Cool, dude. Good job. The concept of the challenge is dumb as fuck anyway and it should not have been conducted in the first place, but shit, man, kids can't even write their own names legibly in 2011?

hey look skating! i like that
The barrel jumping was a ton of fun. more challenges like that less arts and crafts.

You guys are being way to harsh on Mikey. The 5-0 thing was lame for sure, but he isn't really focusing on the hood thing that much, he mentioned it at the beginning, and he mentioned it once with the board thing. He could be throwing it in people's faces and talking about how he does everything a certain way because of where he's from and this and that (and plenty of people do), but he really doesn't.
And talk shit on his video all you want, he's done some sick shit so far in the contest, his noseblunt on those banks, the noseslide down the sketchy indoor set rail, the gap to 5-0 actually was really gnarly, albeit kind of a biter move. It's not like he's terry Kennedy who was really terrible for the first 5 or so years of his career but got by on his image.
I came on to this thread though to refute the argument that it can only get worse from the coloring contest. That shit was boring, useless, and got in the way of skating. If the later challenges get worse than this they will probably be more offensive, and will have more of a trainwreck feel to them.
Also, anybody think these guys are probably less boring than they are shown to be, but that everybody becomes boring when forced to answer boring and stupid questions.
There's something weird goin' on in the drawing challenge. Obviously none of the judges have art history degrees, but Steve Rod has worked in advertising and 5Boro is always looking good, Lou puts paint on shoes and walks on things, you know he's up in dem art shows, look at that beard...Can't speak for Rodney's aesthetic sensibilities but he sometimes matches his hat and shoes which should be an automatic DQ...

The fact that you are trying to engage with me on the quality of the drawings in the contest is fucking pathetic. Who gives a shit whose drawing was the best? The kid mentions it in his intro video, then drew a picture of the corner he lived on, and that's it over like 5 episodes, meaning he has mentioned it less than once per episode, whoa man, he's milking it ::)
Whose drawing was the best? I could give a shit. That's exactly why that challenge was stupid. It was boring to watch and who gives a fuck who won? It's not like I was thinking "John's graphic is the best! He BETTER win!!!" and then was heartbroken to see some far worse graphic win. I was just pissed because I already lost for sitting through the episode.

Yeah, but if the "worst skater" won immunity then someone who didn't "deserve it" as much would get the boot, so in a way being a weak barrel jumper could get you unfairly booted.

Out of respect for his legendary status they should leave him out.
He hasn't done anything to deserve being tainted by this scandal.

I feel focusing the board is simply not enough, they should really feel like they lost. I hope they at least take back the shoes and gear and send them home buck naked.
Next year they could leave the eliminations unannounced and kill them in their sleep one by one.

the skatepark filming sessions might be a good training for the actual "winner" of this thing, since half of the job of being pro is producing shitty webclips in TFs vulgo skateparks.

i really don't see how everyone didn't get a ton of a footage. they were skating that skatepark pretty much all day, right? i've literally never gone to a skatepark for a full day session and walked away having landed just a handful of tricks. there were multiple filmers too, so it's not like they were competing super heavy for one filmer's time. tyler got a clip of a bs flip on a hip too, so there clearly wasn't much discretion, if any, on what was considered film-worthy.
i'm kinda pissed just thinking about how dudes are flying out from california to ny to skate in a contest where they'll get hooked up properly if they win, and all they have to do is get clips at a fucking skatepark to stay, and multiple dudes manage to not come through. you can do any and every trick you can do in the street at a skatepark, much easier. even taking away the contest aspect of it, what skater who isn't injured just sits around at a skatepark all day? they're all mostly kids too, so they have no excuse for not having the energy. i still think kennedy should've gone home over mikey, but both of those dudes should be ashamed of themselves.
-
They need to show all the dudes stats, like height, number of sexual partners, favorite muppet etc.
That will make it more legit

kennedy is sick, im glad he didnt go home

I've never seen a blunt to nose stall before; I thought that was pretty damn tight.

Oh God, this is so depressing and boring watching a bunch of fully grown men bully some ugly children without there even being any skating.
I imagine most slap members have came across the pornographic website www.backroomcastingcouch.com (http://www.backroomcastingcouch.com) - I find the vibe of that and the vibe of the judges eerily similar
The only enjoyable aspect is Cocksuker Lou being unable to focus the boards each week
-
How can a grown man not be able to focus a board? I focus a board every time I get out of bed. Embarrassing.
-
Lurker Lou's back is about to blow out
-
it's really depressing watching these as they come out. i know what's coming, but it is always put together in the most ridiculous, embarrassing way. i don't regret being a part of it, because i'm homies with all the kids now--they were all cool as fuck--but god damn, this shit sucks.
if they use all the footage i know they have of joseph that night for the next episode, it will be fucking amazing. dude is legendary

I know I stuck up this shit last week, but that episode made me feel like I was getting fired from my job or something. Rough.

but god damn, this shit sucks.

How dare you not have your board with you while I'm talking to you!
"It's not always about skating harder...It's about skating smarter."

^I was a little confused when rodney said that. I didnt know what to think of it.
-
These judges are total fucking cunts, powertripping with smallest amout of power possible. What a fucking losers. Steve, do you really think this will not drive your sales down into oblivion? Pathetic, this is horrible, perfect example of what skating is not about. Did I see a fucking blowwissle in there somewhere?
-
every time a judge opens their mouth i cringe. As hate mentioned it could be they were trying to be dicks ironically, but guess what? There is no such thing as irony when your a reality tv personality.
Steve calles giving advise on how to nurture a career as a pro skater is the only irony I saw.
-
I've tried to watch each episode but each time I turn it off within a minute and spend the next hour fantasizing about beating each of the judges senseless with a zip zinger.

Yeah, what the fuck was with the attitude about him without the board? They acted like he left his skateboard at home before his 60 second run. I didn't see any skating go down.
I liked Mikey, he seemed like a chill kid, especially if he came from the situation that they are claiming. Kids from the hood can develop a real rough exterior real quickly, and he still came off as positive and chill.
-
HOW COULD THIS BE ANY LAMER
-
while i don't condone violence towards anyone i would be hardpressed to not find the humor in someone lighting Lurker Lou's beard on fire with a lighter
-
I feel like they judged the skaters based on random selection of tricks instead of the footage they produced throughout the whole day. I mean, all they remembered Alex Conn doing was a switch smith? which was part of a line? And why did they say all dean had was the merlin flip or whatever? I'm pretty sure he had that one crazy rail dancing trick. confused...
-
at least schadenfreude makes this slightly entertaining (about judges/producers, not skaters)
-
There is no way they're doing this to "make fun" or reality television. I'm sure that's a convenient thing to say now that it's out though. I'd be fuckin embarrassed to, but if you put out a pile of steaming shit at least have the balls to stand by your pile of steaming shit. whoever wrote and produced this show is a mark and should be treated as such.
-
My cousin watches some tattoo show called Ink Master or something of the sorts and it literally reminds me of this years OIAM, shit sucks.
-
Apparently some people are� saying that those dudes are now claiming that they were just making fun of reality shows.
Ok, that's fair.
Still fucking lame as shit.
Wouldn't you say that too? Especially after all of the negative feedback these episodes have received? I mean, if Lurker Lou and everyone else got pissed at Alex Klein during the filming of the episodes, that tells you they weren't in on the joke and were really upset about their role in OIAM and how it was playing out. That doesn't seem like parody to me.
-
Its still not funny even if it was. The argument is invalid before you even get into facts, because if they played those kids like that, it would be super lame. Also, hasn't the fake reality show thing been done to death anyway? There was that Joe Millionaire show or something where they claimed he was a millionaire even though he was poor as fuck to fuck with gold diggers, and I'm pretty sure I've seen prank shows do the fake reality show audtion/pilot episodes before, on a more straight level, America's most smartest model on VH1 openly mocked the contestants, who either didn't get it or just didn't give a fuck. So it wouldn't be funny, and to take a legit series like that and fuck it up, all while fucking with a genuinely nice, hard skating group of kids isn't cool anyway. So even if it was fake, it would be lame. Its not, and its still lame.
And to whoever was asking why they didn't skate the park super hard- its what, day 3? They've been skating hard that entire time, including a late night day one, are sleeping on the floor of a warehouse and are hoping to keep it going for another several days. In the past they eliminated based on multiple days of footage or stupid shit like high ollie contests, and its a shitty little indoor park, why the fuck would they press it too much? The whole contest is regular. Use your goddamned brain.

haha anyone with the talent those dudes have could at least manage to produce some clips at the park for the sake of having come through with footage. you're an idiot to think that they would have to skate hard to get clips at a skatepark. especially since dudes like tyler and adam weren't even considered for elimination and the only examples of clips they got were on a hip, surely doing tricks that they did to warm up at their local skatepark every day. and you can't argue that the dudes were over the contest cause mikey looked super bummed to be eliminated. which means that he was still intending to win. which means that he has no excuse for being eliminated because he didn't come through with clips in a skatepark. that kennedy kid was smiling the whole time, but i'm pretty sure that's a nervous tick.

What do you mean he "didn't come through"?
You're saying that like he didn't do anything worthwhile, like he just bullshited the whole time.
Which he didn't.
And you said that they basically did warm up tricks, which i agree with cause most of them did.
But a blunt to nose stall and a back feeble on a rail in the rain are not warm up tricks.

true, but i never denied that mikey should've been the one to stay. you're right though, mikey doesn't really apply to my post since he was apparently going for quality shit and only managed to come up with two things, whereas kennedy apparently wasn't going for quality shit and still only managed to come up with "two ollies and a wallride." mikey definitely wasn't being lazy, but the thing is, mikey says in the end that he assumed it was him who would be eliminated because he didn't produce much, so you can't even argue that he thought he had done enough to stay. so if he expected himself to go home with the effort he produced, was he just over the contest and intentionally trying to be eliminated? then why the long face, mikey? if he knew that they were going to judge him based on how much he produced then i don't see why he would spend so much time on one trick unless he just didn't care about the contest anymore. it's possible that he realized that he blew it after it was all said and done though, so whatever.

good thing steve dropped join or die during these episodes or he would be in deeper shit. and mikey hayHOOD was probably given the most coverage/interview time out of all of them and seemed to actually give a shit about the contest. but at this point who really cares about anything that happens, this whole contest has been a joke from the first episode.

Why wouldn't they mention that guy who did the crazy fast/long bank ride? I don't hate the judges, they are obviously not good at talking and are being put in a pressure situation, which makes them phrase things awkwardly. Like the fucking movie rick mccrank was in, skaters are not good at much on camera besides skating(a few exceptions obviously)
It was funny how mikey got shit for not skating cuz you gotta get ahead or something, when they gave him shit for one upping the day before. I can't stand listening to him talk though, glad he's gone.

This thing is trying to do it, but failing. It could, maybe, be true that they were trying to do a parody, but copying something badly is not a parody. That's like saying Klein did a parody of directing.
Holy shit, Burm - you had my dying with laughter here.
I'd like to see a compilation video of Lou's failed attempts at focusing at the end of the series. Who knows - he might actually focus one next week - I'm pulling for you, Lou.

Not condoning his behavior, but I guess he had to bring his board in-case he got eliminated? I'd probably try avoid letting a dickhead focus my board.

I don?t wanna buy any 5Boro Boards after this, 5Boro can?t be a legit company with this guy over there....
The fact that you've thought 5boro is legit up to this point just proves that this guy knows exactly what his doing. Marketing is the most important thing in skateboarding, you know? That, and having lines in your sponsor me tape. Oh yeah, and taking your board with you to the elimination, it's a skateboarding competition after all.
Those are the 3 most important things in skateboarding. Oh, and crayon skills... and skating smarter instead of harder.... Come to think about it, I don't think I've actually known anything about skateboarding before this show. It has really changed my life.

i could totally win this contest, always be drinking a mountain dew when the cameras on you, hell maybe even drink a dew in between a line, strategize the fuck out of this, pull every trick with ultimate precision and maybe even start some brawls with the other bros cause were just so trashed on these dews. they need to bring in some hot ass bitches into this contest.

wait, klein could still redeem himself by making the next elimination a one-on-one rap battle with mr. j casanova. (or recruit him to replace all of the judges permanently)

Two weeks ago I was at a bar by myself waiting to go meet up with some friends after they got off work. They had a trivia night, so I participated, and fucking WON (solo). The last question, which I could wager as many of my already accumulated points as I wanted, was "In Nickelodeons legends of the hidden temple, What was the name of the stone face narrator?"
OLMEC MOTHERFUCKER.
I actually did pretty well in most of the trivia, but I really don't think I would have won without the mega wager on the ender question. Thank you, childhood.

finally a decent episode. really wasnt expecting a fs flip, bs flip and an sw ollie after i saw john ollie it the first time. shit looks huuuuge. want to see the crusty tailslide now

Well, that wasnt to bad! Lets hope this was a turning point, and there will be no more drawing contests and that kind of shit or Lurker Lou focusing boards.

Monotone? Where are you from that a crazy southern accent like that sounds monotone? The dude is cletus the slack jawed yokel on a skateboard. He's great, classic ripper stuck in his own world.

I've lived in Louisiana for the past 5 years and I lived in Fayetteville, NC for 3 as well. That's not that crazy of an accent, the tone in his voice is pretty emotionless so I think he sounds pretty monotone.
Wow, this post totally doesn't matter.
Anyway, both Bumpkin and Fake Tommy G killed it. So did that dude who went switch.
Shit man, I didn't know you lived in Fayetteville before, that's like 45 minutes away from my house.

New Yorkers are so fucking lame. So the dude who can't even focus a fucking board is going to kick my ass? I'm shaking in my boots. Nobody forced this dude to be part of this. Its funny, because before this, all the NY/east coast posters made predictions about how much more hardcore it would be, and about how nobody would be able to skate the spots at all. So far nobody has had trouble skating the city and the "underground" dudes are just fame whoring the shit out of themselves.
Its an embarrassment to east coast skaters more than it is to SLAP.

I have nothing against Lou, at all, and would never want to fight him.
That being said, I totally know how to fight him since I am dude who can harvest a majestic beard myself. (see Fig. 1)

(Fig. 1)
All you have to do is get a handful of beard. That is an unbelievable amount of pain. For you ladyfaces- pull out an eyebrow or a nosehair and imagine that all over your face. While Lou is definitely going for the righteous sea captain look, he's totally left his face open for a beardal assault. I once defeated a hobo outside a tattoo shop with a beardgrab to hot coffee to the face.

well ale and lager are different things. comparing an ale (guinness) to a lager (coors) is an apples and oranges debate.
if the argument is higher alcohol content makes you more of a man than start drinking everclear/moonshine/151/high calibrated spirits and die uber fast. real cool.

That's true, Guinness is a stout.

well you use ale malts for stouts so he is right technically... you dont have to ferment at cooled temperatures like with a lager malts. btw brewing is a good pass time if your an underage alcoholic like yours truly.

Raw Street Skating in NYC - One in a Million Episode 10 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft_3GONi8n0#ws)
-
Pop-quiz hot shot; Cairo Foster commands you to bolt together a new setup as fast as you can, while the prying eyes of Lurker Lou are begging for your failure. What do you do, asshole? What do you do?
-

"See - they don't go that easy"

Why the blue grip?
-
Why the blue grip?
Yeah I thought something was wrong with my monitor but no, pre-gripped with blue grip tape.... must be a CCS thing. I liked that the one guy focus it, even if it's mighty wasteful of him.
Dean is my favorite for sure, even if his calfs look scary to me. I'd have to see an edit of all his footage at the end to decide if his my favorite to win the competition, but he's my favorite in general anyways.
-
Why did "Lurker Lou" pop up when that guy did that trick?
Why is the film quality so shitty? When they panned out with the wide angle, it looked beautiful...Then they went back to fisheye and I thought my eyes broke
-
Board fucus = the beginning of the rebellion?
-
best episode yet. enjoyed the crowded street lines. looks too fun. board set up contest was less wack then the other contests but still dumb none the less. that was rad when he focused the board haha
-
Why did "Lurker Lou" pop up when that guy did that trick?
???
-
that faggot can't kickflip?
oh and WAY too much skating in this episode.
-
why does it say lurker lou for the dudes (switch?) nosegrind on that ledge?
-
Cairo and the contestants all looked super bummed when he was telling them the challenge info.
-
why does it say lurker lou for the dudes (switch?) nosegrind on that ledge?
Editing kerfuffle.
-
geez, really hope someone got fired for that one ;)
-
sad to say but i suck at kickflips for the same reason that kid does
-
It doesn't matter because mandible will make his own edit after they're done uploading new episodes.
Though I have to say, I'm really excited for OIAM Canada next year, hosted by Rawb.
-
CORNDOG!
-
alex conn did the switch nosegrind.
-

Yeah, same here. People just assumed that the kickflip is the easiest flip trick for everyone.

To help clear up the beer issue - in australia where beerkeg lives light beer does have less alcohol. There is also midstrength
Beers. They cost less then regular beers.

1st half recap:
People sure love fakie flipping in lines these days.
That ollie up double hippy jump was the coolest shit I've seen at those benches.
Tyler's productivity has gone up 1000%.
The filming reminds me of the Weekendtage clip where he deliberately gets ass shots.
-
"So you guys excited?!"
*no sounds made, kids eyes dart around as they avoid eye contact.
I like Josh Kasnicka more and more every episode. Gnarly, creative, and generally fun to watch.
Who gives a shit what Lurker Lou's side is on why he sold out and acted like a total prick the entire time, its not about WHY he did it, its the fact that he did. He's a pathetic east coast fame whore. Its not about him being mean, or a good or bad skater, or good or bad at focusing decks, he's just a loser who is desperate to be a famous skateboarder and was willing to say and do totally lame things either because he was lame and thought doing those things were cool, or because he was lame and was willing to make a complete fucking ass of himself on this show for either fame or money. Either way, the shit talking is properly justified no matter what he says.
You wanted to be famous Lurker Lou?
Guess what?
Everybody knows you as One in a Million douchebag and will probably remember you as that for years.
Nice job of making the east coast look like it is full of shit people who will do anything for a buck.
I'm not hating, I'm just being truthful, as "Lurker" Lou claims he likes to be.
The beer conversation going on here is epicly regular. What are you guys homeless or 14? Do you really need to be sure that a beer you have has the highest alcohol content possible? They do make this shit called liquor you know, it usually is about 40% alcohol, and all you gotta drink are a couple gulps and you'll be wasted.
If you want this whole argument put simply- any beer will get you drunk eventually, so who gives a fuck what alcohol percentage it has, and Coors light tastes like dirty water and puts money into the pocket of hardcore right wing assholes
I just wanted to point this out as people talk shit on the weed smoking threads all the time, but the conversations are far less stupid.

I'm not trying to sucked into whatever bullshit internet argument you're trying to spark, but what the fuck does any of that have to do with the East Coast? So you think he's an asshole... so he's an East Coast asshole?
To be a dude who adamantly calls out any racism you see on Slap, you sure do make a lot of sweeping generalizations about mass groups of people based on a few you don't like.

Name another region of the world that constantly says they deserve more credit than they get and that they are actually the best? The amount of east coast shit talking I saw before this contest about how nobody was going to be able to skate any of the spots because the east coast is so rough was ridiculous. The amount of shit talking I see from east coasters who claim that the west is bullshit because the spots are so soft is ridiculous. You know damn well if the calfornia kids were refusing to skate the spots the east coast losers would talk hella shit. It didn't turn out like that though, did it?
Are all east coast people like this? No.
Do you see this type of obnoxious arrogance anywhere else in the world? Also NO.

I mean, maybe that shit exists some, but I've heard you, and lots of other people on Slap, talk way more shit about the east coast than I ever have of anyone about the west...and I live on the fucking east coast!
Do I see this kind of obnoxious arrogance anywhere else in the world? Have you looked in a mirror lately? I'm not so much talking shit, I agree with a lot of what you write on Slap, but you are the definition of obnoxious arrogance. You put your opinions out there with as much, if not more, bravado and false-infallibility than any "east coast shit talker" that you're trying to call out. It's the same fucking thing.

I agree with you up to there. I expect my beer to have a certain level of alcohol. I make my own beer and I find it unacceptable, as in I've fucked up, if its under 4.5%. I feel that beer brewed to a certain style should have a level of alcohol to it.

When have I told people that the west coast is sooooo much harder than the east? When have I said I only care about skaters from the west coast? When have I claimed that if people from the east came out west they couldn't do shit? That's all you hear from east coast kids. Do you want me to dig up the original thread about this OIAM and how it would be in NYC? Every kid from the east coast said the kids wouldn't be able to do shit, but they have, so now you are all getting defensive and trying to blame others for your stupid predictions.
I am arrogant as fuck, no doubt, but when I said "this type of arrogance" I meant it. I don't have that special NYC chip-on-the-shoulder arrogance, the one that demands pity and respect simultaneously, this sort of uncle rico "I could have been the greatest but was unfairly passed over" mentality which is what epitomizes every one of the regular judges on this show.
Here's the harsh truth: People who live in NYC aren't any harder than people who live anywhere else.
Sure, there are arrogant people on the west coast, in the south, the midwest, and even in other countries (there are other countries...right?) but there is a special east coast arrogance
And y'all gotta be crazy if you think east coasters don't hate on anywhere else btw.

Ok, I'll give you that. Brewers have a different relationship with beer though. That shit is a craft for sure.

Again, these are broad, sweeping generalizations based on your fragmented experiences with "east coast" dudes (mostly on an internet web forum, it seems?), which you claim disgusts you in one breath, then you exhibit yourself in another. I guess it just depends on the subject matter.
I said I wasn't gonna take the argument bait, so I'll bow out on this one.
-
Yeah, where are you getting your experiences from, Gip? Slap, Ricky Oyola's Epicly Later'd and an interview with Bobby Puleo? Having spent a quarter of my life skateboarding in New York and a quarter of my life skating in L.A., people on the west coast seem to complain a lot more about their situation that east coasters. How there is so much traffic, no place to skate during the week, every spot is "blown out". I was at Stoner Park a couple days ago and a group of men, not some 15 or 16 years old, but men in the mid to late 20's were complaining that is was overcast and that is was "too cold for a t-shirt but too hot for a sweatshirt". Also at Stoner that day was Chris Roberts... I know his "shit skateboarders say" video was a joke... but it was also funny because it was true.
I'm not saying people on the east coast don't complain, but the most common shit I saw when watching video or looking at a magazine was closer to "fuck, that spot looks so sick! I wish we had that" and not "fuck those dudes and their perfects spots. They couldn't do shit out here"
One area we can agree on though is Lurker Lou and how fucking stupid he is coming off.
-
lol at the amount of caring there is for lurker lou. you guys act like you never seen a skater make an ass out of himself. the dudes a clown just laugh at him. dont assume lou's attitude is the average new yorker
-
that was cool how lou dropped 50lbs and shaved to get one clip. he's really dedicated.
i haven't finished this "episode" (i would call it an episode in the same way bipolar people have them) because ride videos take like an hour and a half to load, so i don't know how off the rails the challenge bullshit gets.
and gipper, come on. you see this arrogance anytime anyone from europe, or who is a freshman in college, talks about "fat americans."
also you were doing the same thing.
-
The episode was rad up to the point that they announced the "ccs board set up challenge". That shit was beyond fucking stupid. Corndog is my hero for focusing his board though.

do any of you kids think Steve, Cardiel or Lou had any idea how fucking stupid this years OIAM was going to be when they were offered the job? NOPE. they signed a contract and are now being pulled through the mud. you keep acting like they're hyped to be there...watch everybody's body language (pause) and tell me they're not over this whole thing. Lou tries to fight the fucking producer and everyone walks off the show by the end, so if you think these guys dont agree with the collective groans about how shitty this whole debacle turned out to be, youre fuckin trippin.
whiney little feggits, talkin shit like you now a god damned thing. I'm just as bad for putting my two cents into such a pointless arguement, but cmon son...

My last post must have been deleted. Were they slaves or employees? They chose money over respect, and now they have to live with their decision.
As for you guys saying I haven't been to the east coast, I go there regularly. Can an of you explain why I am wrong? Why is it the east coast is the only region in the U.S. that has special teams that only put on east coasters? Why is it a region that is filled with marble and smoothly paved sidewalks, but always bitches about how "rough" the spots are. The spots in the midwest are 1000 times rougher, but nobody says a damned thing about it, just east coasters. Then when people from away from the coast skate there, they kill it
-
yeah! all you little feggits don't now anything
hehe. i'm imagining some East Coast dad with a moustache and baseball jacket saying that (preferably with a toothpick in his mouth too)

Gip, is there some part of this messageboard where people from the east coast are regularly talking about this, or is this a lumped together argument that you keep dredging up from years back? I don't see anybody on here talking about the east coast like it's some third world country except for you man. A "region filled with marble and smoothly paved sidewalks" is Washington D.C. You can just say the city names man (or in this case, district).
I don't really know of any teams that are east coast exclusive as you say, as if it's some sort of bias against good skaters in the west. I think what you're confusing, is that the skate industry is centered in California, so naturally, the bigger brands are in California. The bigger brands can afford to put talent on their teams, and fly that talent to and fro as needed. Whereas the brands located in the east coast, are primarily regional brands, and can only afford to retain riders who are based in the same cities and/or would have cheaper transportation coasts to get them where they need to go. It's not like 5boro is in anyway biased against non-east skaters. They've had Japanese and Brazilian skaters on their team for years. I think your only company that's even close to what you're picturing is Traffic - and even then, they aren't biased, they're small budgeted. Do you have a specific company in mind that legit has a sore spot about skaters that aren't from the "east coast"?
Sorry bud, I love you and I'll always be there for you, but why you gotta do us like this homie? :'(
-
Really? D.C. is the only place with smooth pavement and marble? Is Manhattan the midwest now?
Also, I am referring back to the original "OIAM is going to be in NYC!" thread where half the posts were about how west coast kids were going to come to New York and sit on their asses half the time because they couldn't skate the super rough east coast spots, and also the real world outside of the message board.
As for why I have to do you like that? Shit man, finals then spring break. I'm sitting in a room all day and occasionally saying "eyes on your own papers only please." I'm bored and feel like boiling some blood, so I figured it would be fun to see if anybody who was claiming NYC was too raw for people from the west coast still want to defend that point. Guess not.
-
so are you just bitter and angry on slap all the time because all you were able to do with your life is become a teacher?
-
i grew up in Orange County and the skating there is about as raw as it gets

Maybe you should address that to the people who said it, not to people who never shared that viewpoint in the first place. I'm proud of the east, but half of my skate family lives in SF. I love the Bay. It's my favorite place to visit. But I never had a sense of "fuck you west coast guy" til you said "east coast loosers.".
Whatevs. I still like most of your posts.
-
^ Fuck you, I spelled losers right. I am addressing the messageboard where the point appeared and seeing who will come forward and still defend it.
oh, and I could talk shit about any other region and they wouldn't get as butthurt and defensive. I talk constant shit on Southerners, Europeans, and Arizona people and they deal with it. East coasters flip out and try to argue me down instead of ignoring it and realizing that their impression of the place they live is the only one that matters.
so are you just bitter and angry on slap all the time because all you were able to do with your life is become a teacher?
You are named after a strain of weed. The shit you talk about others, especially their accomplishments, is invalid. I guarantee I have a better job than you, and there is no greater accomplishment than teaching youth.

lol i just wanted to see how mad you would get...but im on my 2nd year of law school, already did 4 in uni... ill be a defense lawyer pretty soon, so you can bring up my user name all you want if it's any consolation to you, but that won't change the fact that ill be making a lot more money than you.... actually i probably already do, not that it really matters anyway.
-
Of course somebody stupid enough to go into LAW for the money would think I am ashamed of my job...Keep talking and I'll Diego Menenddez your dreams with pleasure.
-
lol, it just seems weird to me that someone that goes to such great lengths to prove their intellect on a skate forum would be content with being a teacher....of course there's the possibility that you are not as smart as think, and you simply could not have made it in more intellectually demanding professions such as medicine, engineering, or....law! so you went into teaching and rationalize it to yourself with bullshit statements like "there is nothing more rewarding than teaching youth"
did i go into law for the money? yeah, I did, and I'm sure as shit not ashamed of that. But my sister went into medicine, and not for the money. she moved to africa and is working with Medicins sans frontiers..just to show you an example of what people who are actually intelligent, and also want rewarding jobs can do... what im trying to say is, if you were half as smart as you think you are, you would not have wasted away your potential teaching...
-
Going into law for the money? hahahahahahahahahaha. SO stupid.
Also, I've never said I am smart or think I am. Others think I am smart, and jealous cats claim I push the idea on people, when actually people just say I am based on what they read. Are you mad nobody says you are smart?
Oh, and how does it feel to always lose arguments to people with no legal training after 2 years of law school? I would be pretty embarrassed.
-

No, who are you trying to kid? You obviously think you are smart, it does not matter if you haven't explicitly stated it. I base that on not only the tone of your posts, but on the often ridiculous length of your posts.
And what arguments have I lost exactly? We are not arguing anything here. That is the difference between me and you, I've put effort where it counts, and that has resulted in me basically going to university for free, and having a guaranteed job at a law firm upon graduation. You have put all your effort into meaningless "arguments" on the internet, and that is why you are only a teacher, and I will be a lawyer, making substantially more money than you. You can say that teaching is the greatest job in the world all you want, but I have yet to meet someone who had the grades to get into law school (or medicine, engineering...whatever) who turned those options down to pursue a career in teaching.
Anyways, I have to go offline now, and chances are I won't be interested in this thing here that you think constitutes an argument come tomorrow morning. So just remember, winning arguments on the internet won't make you more successful or intelligent than me, no matter how hard you try to believe it. Just like "losing" this "argument" by leaving won't make me any less of a successful soon-to-be lawyer :)

What do I do when my teacher and my lawyer start fighting?

Shut the fuck up jackherer, no one cares about your shitty life. you're a terrible poster regardless of your job.art hellman was a lawyer 5 years ago and wasn't a complete moron on here, so you can't use a stupid job as a fallback.
-
Going into law for the money? hahahahahahahahahaha. SO stupid.
Also, I've never said I am smart or think I am. Others think I am smart, and jealous cats claim I push the idea on people, when actually people just say I am based on what they read. Are you mad nobody says you are smart?
Oh, and how does it feel to always lose arguments to people with no legal training after 2 years of law school? I would be pretty embarrassed.
Man... I'm dating this girl right now that has the same exact delusional thinking as you. you live in L.A., right? Let me know if you want to me set you on a blind date with her when I grow tired of her bullshit. She's real cute and crazy in bed. You'll just have to deal with stupid comments like yours above on occasion.

East coast niggas are better than everyone else, and im living proof ya fackin mark...

My last post must have been deleted. Were they slaves or employees? They chose money over respect, and now they have to live with their decision.
As for you guys saying I haven't been to the east coast, I go there regularly. Can an of you explain why I am wrong? Why is it the east coast is the only region in the U.S. that has special teams that only put on east coasters? Why is it a region that is filled with marble and smoothly paved sidewalks, but always bitches about how "rough" the spots are. The spots in the midwest are 1000 times rougher, but nobody says a damned thing about it, just east coasters. Then when people from away from the coast skate there, they kill it
hahaha so your bitching about how people on the east coast brag about shitty ground, then you go and say the exact thing but for the midwest? Then you said they have special teams with only people from the eastcoast, care to name some? If your thinking 5boro and zoo york your wrong. dave abair is from CA, jordan trahan from CA, forrest kirby from FL, chaz chicago.
?
These OIAM kids arent "killing NY" besides them skating every skatepark in the city they got almost all there street footage at the basic downtown go to spots. Im not saying NY is tougher to skate but with most spots being at big office buildings the chances of getting a trick with security at it and pedestrians everywhere are less then a cali schoolyard. And please show me where all these people are bragging about shitty ground.

There are nice / shitty spots no matter where you go. Can't we all agree on that?

when does everybody walk off the show?
-
Instead of immunity for being able to do some task that is cool (high ollie, quick board set up) but very minuscule on the path of becoming a pro skateboarder. They should instead offer a large product give away (im assuming that they only got free product that one time) for being able to do these tasks. That way it still makes the contest seem fair and it makes the guys there feel like they actual got something out of they poorly orchestrated contest. Because we all know that board companies aren't looking to hook someone up because they have good narration skills, their looking for someone with good footage, which they failed to show until the 9th episode.

by the sound of the results they should re-name this year's show 'None in a million'

i'm kind of doubting that the producers are going to put that in the show. while they may have walked off, and tough-guy Lurker Lou may have gotten in a fight, i will bet you they will use whatever footage they have to try and make it seem like a normal show
-
^ Man, I hope not... seeing the implosion would be entertaining as fuck!
Also, east and west coast heads, come visit the dirty dirty! NOLA's pretty rough and fun, and Baton Rouge's downtown is just like a big skate plaza. Bonus: everything's cheaper here... and they're barely over an hour away from each other.
-
Being from the East Coast and having skated the Gulf Coast (MS) pretty hard, I can whole heatedly say that the South does dwarf us on hard shit to skate. You guys have even less than us, worse ground, and insane humidity. Only up side you guys got is relatively mild winters. PS: I don't understand why there arn't more DIY spots on the Gulf Coast. After Katrina it seems like there are an endless supply of foundation spots in the form of leveled houses. We used to skate like people old steps and shit where there houses were, but I never saw anything get built.
-
I'm just fucking around for the most part. New York, Philly, and DC are some of the sickest skate towns in the world. Philly had particularly cool skaters.
I still do find it funny a second year law student thnks he has a guaranteed job out of school though.
-
A student boasting about the job he's going to have is pretty funny actually.
-
Of course somebody stupid enough to go into LAW for the money would think I am ashamed of my job...Keep talking and I'll Diego Menenddez your dreams with pleasure.
Ohhhh man, haven't heard that name in a while.
-
Reagan, have you read Taylor Mali's poem "What Teachers Make"? I feel like this would apply perfectly to that little spat earlier.
-
i dont think its strictly because its in ny, but the footage hasnt been nearly as good this year. watching all those lines last episode was boring as fuck, i almost missed seeing the corniness
-
I am referring back to the original "OIAM is going to be in NYC!" thread where half the posts were about how west coast kids were going to come to New York and sit on their asses half the time because they couldn't skate the super rough east coast spots
I think people meant or at least I did, that it would funny/interesting to see a cali/midwest rail and stair jumper or ledge dancer try and figure out a cellar door spot, but they didn't go to any of the "typical" east coast spots on the show, pretty much all the ones they went to that weren't skateparks have really nice ground and are pretty conventional spots. There have been times I would be showing cali people around and half of them would kill it on "urban spots" and the other half would be like "not for me" or "I dont got shit for this"
-

Yeah, they've shown us the def poetry jam reading of it every year at professional development meetings at the beginning of the year at both schools I've worked at. At first I thought it was cool, but after being forced to hear it so many times in rooms full of teachers I kind of find it cheesy.
A student boasting about the job he's going to have is pretty funny actually.
Especially in Law. This is an old article from a quick google job, but things haven't changed much since then:
http://www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/2009/09/too-many-law-schools-and-too-many-lawyers.html (http://www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/2009/09/too-many-law-schools-and-too-many-lawyers.html)
Law students DEFINITELY don't automatically get jobs. Not even close. If the kid is at year 2 and doesn't realize it he's probably fucked. At this point he should be working desperately to find a summer clerkship that MIGHT lead to a job if he kills it. Of course, a lot of defense lawyers do clerkships with the public defender's office, which is not really the road to riches. If he's just sitting there thinking about all the money he is "guaranteed" in a year he's probably not in the right mindset and is fucked.
-
Even the "raw" street skating was lame, and I'm definately better as poor as I am than being any of those judges. It would be cool if the whole thing was intended to show kids that it is funnier to skate by/for yourself than trying to get sponsored through "marketing yourself, but it's nothing but a massive fail. Anyways that Finucan kid is pretty good.
That being said, I'm with Reagan in the teacher > lawyer thing.

We used to skate like people old steps and shit where there houses were, but I never saw anything get built.
my mom lives in the gulf coast region, has for the past ten years, and on my annual visits the areas are vastly different every time. i think the lack of DIY spots are because there aren't areas like being under a bridge or anything like that. everything is flat and far apart from each other. there aren't corners you can tuck something away under, you know? the areas are either pretty populated, or totally empty. there's also so much constant expansion and development that for things to be built in a practical, accessible area, they would disappear really quickly.

The thing is, those spots are everywhere. I live in LA and raw spots like that exist out here too, but on the same token, NYC has plenty of amazing perfect ground spots. One thing to point out is that in the OIAM's in SF, they barely took them to any hill spots at all. Thats how these things work.

Yeah but it's the ratio of good to bad spots.

fucking weird seeing dudes referring to the gipster as reagan
-
Yea, I was gonna say aren't lawyers and such in really low demand right now? I've heard many people say law is a pretty shitty field to get into for the past few years
-
Ratio? NYC has more nice ledge spots than you could skate in a month. Go to San Francisco and try to skate a smooth plaza there. There aren't any. NYC is not rough like people claim, but it is an amazing skate city.
-
FWIW, a few of my buddies said NYC roads/spots are pretty smooth for the most part compared to Pittsburgh.

I wish they'd cut to the fuckin chase already. This shit could've been wrapped up weeks ago, yet they'll probably drag it out for another month. Everyone knows there's no winner, yet they put out pointless five minute episode because fuckin Mountain Dew paid for some ads. And I'm not buying this "Rodney and Lou are actually sympathetic" bullshit for one second. They're washed up skate whores who need to get real jobs and stop milking their non-existent skate careers.

they try to provoke them and make them do all this shitty challenges, like dancing hamsters. until one of them is over it, says "fuck this shit, fuck ccs and all that wack bullshit, i'm outta here." and vanishes. cairo follows him just to tell him that he won the thing for realizing that all skateboarding should be about is fun and not giving a fuck (must be an epic speech, edited with some hans zimmer music in the background).
all the others get their board focused by mr.sledgehammer, and sent home on their own money for staying in that shitty game for too long.

I highly doubt they're going to show the rebellion, or Lou trying to fight the producer. Why would they? They don't want to make themselves look bad. I'm guessing the trailer for next week is more about them getting fed up with the drunk guys antics, rather than the stupid challenges and everything else. It was edited for maximum drama and speculation.
Who knows how they'll end the whole thing, but they're going to try and make themselves look as good as possible.

its frustrating having footage only once every two weeks

I really can't stand Lou. I know that's the general consensus of the board, but man is he fucking annoying.

they should run it like reality shows, since thats what theyre going for and do two episodes per week. one with the actual comp and one a few days later for the elimination. waiting a week only to watch an episode of people talking is awful

Talked to Kennedy about this today, basically saying he was over the contest while he was in it. He hated having to be pressured to skate every spot and said he was genuinely bummed on skating after the contest and was bummed on what the contest was trying to make skating into. He said he was relieved being eliminated and not staying in. Thus being said, Kennedy is the man.
-
Kennedy is a ripper for sure.
On a side note, I was in SF this past weekend, and was right by the flowershop, that hill John Fitzgerald rolled down last year is fucked beyond belief. All of the shit they did into it was pretty gnarly. I wouldn't be surprised if he did the whole hill because he got carried away with the speed right away.
I also saw the hill Kennedy halfcab flipped into again, and stand by my word on the gnarliness.

You never know when you'll wake up at 3am to a phone call from Scuba Steve demanding you to hop on your skateboard, bob & weave through traffic, to deliver a pizza and a 2 liter soda to Stefan Janoski's house. It might be today. It might be next week. You just never know. But when that call comes through, you better be fucking ready.
-
im happy everyone on the show is coming to the conclusion that everythings as regular as it is, they should have just given each kid a filmer and let them free in the city and have them come back with whatever they got, but nope pizza challenge totally nyc
-
Joseph dipping out with the pizza and beer was one of the funniest things on this show hahaha
-
I like how the judges had to hint how much they didn't like the show rather than just saying it.
Then the production company probably got all scared so they just dropped all the challenges and shit.
Alex giving the camera guy the bird was pretty good hahah
looks like next week the guys are gonna start shitting on the camera crew (judging by how finucan was trying to skate away from a camera guy near the end). I'm still interested in seeing how the production company would handle the end...
On another note, imagine the conversation with Matt when he came back
"hey man I haven't seen you in a long time, what have you been up to?"
"Oh, I've been out skating, having fun, not sleeping in a skatepark. How about you guys?"
"FUUUUUCK"
-
the judges throwing the kids under the bus is pretty lame.
Not one of those judges could say they would have done a single on of those challenges to jumpstart their careers. For them to say they expected these kids to do whatever makes the sponsors of the show happy is the definition of a sellout. Not backing any of these brands ever again. Except mountain dew, that shit is just to extreme to live without.
-
Billy rohan says "the kids just wanted to skate" as though it was a bad thing. I'm so confused in a contest that has been openly about marketing at times that the judges don't realise how much better the kids look in all of this than anyone else.
I don't understand why the judges were critical of the kids - it makes them look awful, why ar you defending RIDE/mountain dew/ alex klein etc when they are the ones that ruined the show and it was only the contestants that tried to save it by refusing to deliver empty pizza boxes.
-
wait, what? they just skipped a whole day of skating.

Most of them looked bummed. Contractual obligations, probably. Although I have to agree that Rohan didn't seem as understanding as the rest of the judges

Billy rohan says "the kids just wanted to skate" as though it was a bad thing. I'm so confused in a contest that has been openly about marketing at times that the judges don't realise how much better the kids look in all of this than anyone else.
I don't understand why the judges were critical of the kids - it makes them look awful, why ar you defending RIDE/mountain dew/ alex klein etc when they are the ones that ruined the show and it was only the contestants that tried to save it by refusing to deliver empty pizza boxes.
Most of them looked bummed. Contractual obligations, probably. Although I have to agree that Rohan didn't seem as understanding as the rest of the judges

i love they show the quote saying the crew was falling apart then the clip of jon saying "what the fuck, man?" too bad jon was yelling at the fucking HD filmers who didn't skate who were sneaking all up in their faces.
I just assumed that's what he meant haha
contracts are a fucking bitch
I don't know if you can disclose any specific information, but how bad are the consequences if a judge decides to go against the contract?
-
wait, what? they just skipped a whole day of skating.
Did everybody go out skating before that stupid pizza challenge?

always heard good things about Billy rohan , but every time he has a none skating clip he seems like such a cunt , or is it just me getting the wrong impression of him ?

Fuck.

it's possible he hates what he's doing just as much as the next guy, but is just better at acting like he doesn't (?)

What was the fucking point of that episode?
-
so did they abandon the format because they knew they had a rebellion looming? the sponsors just decided to do damage control?
OIAM was such a good thing the past few years, and they really murdered it this time.
mandibleclaw (i forget your real name, sorry) are you catching any shit for talking about the behind the scenes stuff on here?

I'm kind of surprised Rohan was the one that dogged the kids so much. Wasn't he the first judge to quit based on how lame it was? Then he comes back and immediately sides with the producers/sponsors and calls the kids babies for not wanting to do unrelated challenges?
Stoked on Alex Conn, though. Team Corndog.

mother of fuck... I srsly didnt expect Cardiel to say such things. "You have to do some shit you dont want to" then dont go pro or tell your sponsors to fuck off. I think that's something wrong with skating nowadays, pros being down for stupid shit if it means money. Fuck that shit. Lou's reaction was lame too but, whatever... but Billy Rohan... come on dude "I guess we were asking way too much from the kids". What a fucking joke. Like, for real, this shit is as lame as it can get. Someone said on one of the first pages "its like a car crash; the worse, the more you look at it" and well, I tip off my hat to that gentleman: fucking nailed it.
Finucan and Conn are tight, though.

Underneath it all, I kind of feel like Cardiel and Lou were stoked on the fact that these kids were kind of calling OIAM out on their bullshit. Like, they weren't afraid to say that even though they were grateful for this opportunity, they weren't going to blindly follow the idiocy anymore. Or maybe I just hope that's how Cardiel and everyone else felt.

This episode was hillarious. All the judges trying to play the kids off as brats or something, they obviously recorded that part before the public reception, as nobody in the fucking world is believes these kids are brats after seeing old OIAM's and all the shit these kids had to put up with between the fucking idiot who made this and the smug and arrogant nobody judges (aside from Cairo Foster, none of them are even close to the model of "successful pro").
Oh, and their excuse that one kid was having a bad time and it spread is fucking ridiculous. Having worked with kids and had group complaints before, the proper way to interpret it was that EVERYBODY hated it, and nobody felt comfortable saying so until the bravest kid in the bunch spoke up, then the rest of them followed suit. I guarantee nobody had their mind changed about the contest, they just needed somebody to confirm that it was bullshit so they could feel comfortable admitting they thought that too.
What was in the "lost day?" Was it skating or drama that embarassed the producer?
-
Pizza delivery challenge? What the fuck is that? I understand goofy/gimmicky challenges with a "fun" angle or funny one, but fucking dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb. Here's an idea for the next: drop Mountain Dew, scale back production, and make a more DIY scenario based on things motherfuckers like. This shit is over produced trash, and it's fucking weak, and makes the whole OIAM contest a total joke (an unfunny one and unwatchable one at that). The people behind this could make tits look bad, and everyone loves tits.
I don't blame the kids for not digging any of this hokey shit in comparison to past OIAM's.
...and what's all this business talk with OIAM, you're not guaranteed a pro spot on a team if you win (along with the trivialities and worries of a professional) , or even am status... so it is completely irrelevant. Wanna learn the skate business? Then get in it at any level, fuckkkkkk. (shop owner/employee, ask a non full of shit pro, groupie, company owner/investor, etc.)
Every time you dink's (those running it) let a nice sum of money and a fabulous major corporate contract into skateboarding it dies a little inside, every fucking time (regardless of dreams, ambitions, and potential output that said money could "create"), and makes the shit look so fucking ridiculous. How could you look at it as anything more than a superficial circle jerk? How can you "create" under a binding contract with obligations and pointless red tape? Just asking, not assuming.
Fuck this shit.

I don't think it's Mountain Dew's fault. OIAM has been sponsored by Mountain Dew for a few years now and it's been fine. It was Alex Klein's ego and the producer's/SLAP's desire to top the exposure that Forrest's presence got them last year.

The pizza challenge was pretty dumb, but still, there is no reason to take it so seriously. I think it would have been rad if one of them went out on the challenge with the empty box and came back with a pizza in it. Acting like its a chore to be there is a little silly

Looks to me like they're acting bummed at winning the chance to be on what was once a rad skate show, only to find it's been turned into something so stupid they wouldn't even want to watch it, let alone participate in it.
Sounds like the appropriate response to me...

They could still use it to their advantage, they're getting exposure, meeting some important people in the industry. it goes beyond just being on the show, but i can understand why they would be frustrated, i imagine it seems like the purpose of being there isnt what it should be

i was thinking of how bummed they must be to use their hard earned footage for something like this, thinking it was going to be anything remotely like it was last year. that's YEARS of those dudes' lives that they worked so hard for, to have fucking lurker lou tell them to skate around the block with an empty pizza box. miserable.

I like how Lou was slightly ragging on Dean for trying to win every stupid challenge.
Also, Dean's shorts make me uncomfortable...lol

They probably are gonna spread the rest of the skating out to other episodes. there are no more challenges or eliminations, which made up 2 of every 3 episodes. Even apart from the lameness of the show, the production itself is terrible. Billy rohan and cardiel there at the beginning of the show, then gone for so long, then back with no explanation. Also the pizza challenge looked fucking awful, were they just skating around the block?didn't explain shit. Also it was obvious finucan was talking to the cameraman at the end, not to another contestant. Alex klein and the editors must be confident that everyone watching is a fucking moron if they are editing obvious lie's like that.

I feel like Dean was in his own world and didn't even realize the rebellion going on around him. Joseph Dipping out and filming himself drinking a 6 pack on the corner was easily the greatest thing of the show so far. I actually expected not to like him at first too, but that move seals my full approval of him.

That could be, but Rohan was also at the judge's table in the last episode and stated "I know it's been a long week, you guys are tired and sore, blah blah... there won't be any more elminations and you guys can just skate these last few days." So, he had to have come back and filmed again, because he couldn't have said all that before they even knew a rebellion would happen.

I can't believe those faggots! These were probably the guys who didn't try in gym either. Pussies! All of them! Billy Rohan gets it, and so does John Cardiel. If a respected pro told me to race around the block so I could get hooked up with skate gear and all the dew I could pound I would do it. I would win too. I might enter next year if its as awesome and competitive as it was this year. Other years were boring, there was no reason for all of the episodes until they started kicking pussies off. This year they got it.
They kicked that chump Matt off on day one! Awesome! That was excitement. Learn how to ollie BRO. Now because those faggots whined he came back. This is why kids can't play dodgeball in gym class anymore. Everything was so awesome until these faggots decided they wouldn't play.

I'm halfway through this and I just want to say FUCK THIS. They really don't need to be ripping these kids a new asshole like they are. Jon Fitzgerald? The fuck are you talking about dude, when you were on OIAM there weren't regular challenges and bullshit fabricated drama (maybe a little with forrest, but whatever). They're getting people to speak out against these kids, when everyone who has been watching this knows how fucking dumb it is. I doubt the main concern was even the cameras in the faces, they probably edited out all the shit about how gai the challenges were and how much the judges sucked, and how lurker lou kept touching their wedding tackle in their sleep. again FUCK THIS and fuck Alex Klien.

Fuck these sociopaths. It's one thing to have stupid challenges, make up drama, and put these kids through hell... But it adds insult to injury when you try to turn this whole thing on the victims, instead of admitting you screwed things up, learning from the experience, and just trying to do better next year. It's totally disgusting that these people had the audacity to be like "Well, this is what you signed up for. I don't know why you're complaining". No, they didn't sign up for this you retards. Look at the OIAMs from previous years, that's what they signed up for.
I kinda lost respect for ISUCK too. This entire thing was bullshit and there's no point in trying to defend it.

shame on lou, steve, billy and tomuz. i dont think any of them would have stood for that shit when they were coming up in skating. they were lucky the kids put up with it for as long as they did.
the whole time i was giving the judges the benefit of the doubt that they were falling victim to editing, but why would they bother saying specific shit about the kids attitudes if they didnt feel that way? Im really confused on the whole thing after hearing about lou wanting to fight alex klein, he seemed to be completely on board with the corniness based on these interviews

40% skateboarding? Come on I Suck. I'm sure that why you put Chris Cole on Zero. Dude was the biggest kook back in the day and everyone knew it.
-
I think I speak for all of us, when I say this is one of the most shameful things I've ever seen in skateboarding. God, even Shecklers show had its point and audience, but what is this ? Step up, SLAP. Nobody blames you.

what do you think is going to happen if you make a hole bunch of kids sleep on the cold concrete of a skate park for 6 days??? they're gonna be tired and shitty. and then to be all like "they fucked up and they're a bunch of winges"
instead of paying for bringing back all the "homies" they should have but the dudes in some ball'n ass hotel for the night, given them a good sleep. ready to shred the whole next day for a final kill a thon.
do you think chris cole and shane o'niel sleep on the fucking floor of street league before the big day? like WHAT THE FUCK, what the fuck are you thinking
i really didn't mind the format of the shred then do some barrell jumping shit, except the kid who has shreded the least probally has the best condition knees and can jump for higher then a preist's penis is a confession booth, although that looked fun(not the priest thing)... i didn't even mind the "kid you aint cutting it go home thing"... but the pizza box idea was just lame.
here is some ideas to make next years "imunity" contest's better
*if a dude wins he don't get imunity, he gets a good ass sleep in a hotel
*if a dude don't shred but still gets the "imunity challege thing" he spends a night in a rad hotel, trashes and party's in the room, then goes home
* instead of lame challenges like pizza boxes( or deck grafix) get them to do a gnarly hill bomb, first through the line wins the hotel room
* or get them to do this http://youtu.be/j4OX918OdWc (http://youtu.be/j4OX918OdWc)
* or anything thing thats actually dangerous
...
* and get rid of fucking lurker lou-zerr, that lieing ass, wiener groping, biggeted fuck tard

Wow. That just might be the worst thing ever. And I can't believe these guys actually blamed the kids.

... at least 40% skating right?
-
who would have thought that the one year they structure the whole thing completely differently it would be this flaming pile of dog shit, i feel bad for the kids though, theyre not the ones who created some corny ass shit
What are the odds that the year they changed up everything they just happened to find the 10 whiniest, entitled skaters out there?
-
everything about it was in poor form. the kids were good but they weren't anything amazing compared to previous years which from the beginning was kind of a problem. the new format was completely cheesy and just wasn't well thought out and executed.
i don't understand why they wouldn't take note on the success of the previous season with a "if it isn't broke, why fix it" mentality. going around every day skateboarding with guest pros is the only way to do it. they also need to stop forcing story lines and make it more raw.
in return for all the complaining, i bring this

Wow! Just... Wow! I think this is the most embarrasing thing skateboarding has ever produced. EVER! Lost all of my respect for Billy and Steve and i would just like to say: Fuck you, Lurker Lou! Oh, and obviously FUCK Alex Klein!
I'm now waiting for the raw skate edit...
-
so..... no one won
-
Luckily I don't think anyone could watch this and see the kids in a bad light. EVen with it being so obviously edited to make the kids look bad the only people that come off as dicks are the judges, and I think they are the only ones that will be affected negatively.
I haven't seen a single positive comment about the show so I don't think there's anyway Klein/Judges can kid themselves they were in the right.
I don't think you can blame ISUCK that much for his interview -I imagine he was probably told a bullshit story and didn't know what had happened. I'm glad that cardiel didn't have to say anymore negative stuff about the kids.
I would like to hear the judges/klein try and justify themselves although I imagine they'd just spout more delusional stuff about how the real problem was the kids attitudes.

whoa, just realized that the reason dean was trying so hard in the challenges and not producing any footage is because he figured out early on that the challenges were all that mattered, and the best way to win them is to not be sore from having skated all day. he wasn't trying the hardest in the contest, just playing a different angle. i'm guessing he only didn't win because of the fact that he didn't really have all that much footage by the end. i thought he was lame for putting his all into every challenge, but now i think it's pretty awesome that he was just exposing the fatal flaw in the show's format.
the bummer is the fact that since the last episode was basically focused on the fact that it was the kid's fault that the show didn't work out, it's obvious that they're letting us know that the show will continue to be in this format, so if you have too much dignity to do barrel jumps and pizza box challenges, then don't even bother entering. they got isuck on there to convince viewers that the kids were the ones fucking up, so that even potential 2013 contestants watching who were siding with the kids at first might change their opinion and enter the contest fully down to skate hard and go hard in the challenges. what a shame.
-
Does anyone else find Jon Fitzgerald a little kooky for even sitting down and doing that? There's no way he could have seen the footage prior to doing that interview. YES they dealt with cameras in their faces last year as well, but all they did was go out and skate spots that I could only dream of skating, no barrel jumping, no pizza delivery.
The judges trying to justify the format and putting down the kids is so pathetic. Look what happened in the episodes where they DID go out and skateboard. The footage was quality and vibes were good.
All in all, this is a throwaway year for OIAM, and we need Whiteley back making sure shit's done properly.
-
I truly don't understand how these judges, being SKATEBOARDERS THEMSELVES, didn't see how preposterous
this is.
A pizza delivery challenge?
How do you think Ricky Oyola would have reacted to a fucking PIZZA DELIVERY CHALLENGE?
In my opinion, those kids reacting negatively was a GOOD thing. It means they love skateboarding,
and found this TV schtick tiresome and kind of antithetical to their actual love of something.
40% Skateboarding?
Jesus.
As Jason Jesse once quipped "I love skateboarding so much I want it to die."

Jamie said it's 40% skateboarding, but he still turned tom asta pro??

Steve Rodriguez, Judge/Owner of 5Boro SKateboards
-- "If you look at the people that wanted to ride for 5Boro and be something and do something and those that were very successful (like a Westgate, Dompierre, Suski, Peterson), they all had the same thing in common: no matter what they had to do, they did it. Whether they had to clean out a van or do the worst demo on the worst course in the middle of nowhere for five kids, they did it. Kids have to realize they have to work for stuff. And these kids signed up for this. It wasn't like they were forced to do One In A Million.

fuck steve rodriguez

rodriguez' quotes further support the idea that his head is insurmountably too far up his own ass

fuck steve rodriguez
yeah, again i keep wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt, but all the quotes are awful. im sure anyone you had cleaning out vans and doing small demos was doing that because they were proud to be a part of something rad like 5boro and not being forced to look like idiots in front of tens of thousands of people for a show/producer they didnt give a shit about
-
wow thats low just putting it on the skaters! if they fucking made a lame ass show this year don't blame on the skaters! fuck yeah real skaters are gonna be bummed on this shit. fuck 900films or what ever, blowing it whit this OIAM.!
-
Everyone on camera in that last episode (except the kids) should immediately issue a blanket apology to all the kids involved. That means you, Steve and Rodney. You guys are officially on the "suspect" list from now on.
Cardiel gets a pass cause he's Cardiel & it takes more than association with this shit to smear him. Jamie only had one line & it's possible he wasn't aware of the whole story. Lurker Lou should just be gang-raped and thrown in a ditch somewhere.

dude. first off, they left out TWO WHOLE DAYS OF SKATING. they left out joseph getting hurt, they left out some serious fucking hammers that went down. hahahahahahahah

Simply amazing. After constantly reading "it gets worse" week after week, I stupidly kept thinking in the back of my mind, "nahhh, I'm sure it'll be fine". Well, I was wrong. The skaters really deserve an apology. A whole fuckin' redo would be nice. Give them an actual chance without the regular challenges. It could be based solely on **GASP!** their skating. They won't do that though, probably because redos just aren't that marketable.
Alex Klein, you done fucked up.

i think it was a step towards the direction of creating a skateboarding TV show for a mainstream audience. obviously pathetically done though.
it's like i can see what klein is trying to do but he's just fucking up so bad on something that's end product would be fucking pathetic anyway?

I have no problem stating that I will go out of my way not to support any companies that these people are involved with. Fuck Steve Rodriguez. Yeah, no one forced these kids to do OIAM, but as Dean said, they did OIAm assuming it was going to be similar to how it has been for the past 7 or 8 years (?). And to pretend like these kids were acting idiotic or spoiled is so arrogant and delusional I cannot even express it.

do any of the kids in this post on the boards?
they deserve a fucking apology. it would be nice if they knew how much real skaters are backing them, and that they definitely arent in the wrong.

I just read all those ESPN quotes from all the dudes involved, and lemme say that if Alex Klein's solution to not making enough money on the last OIAM was to make Survivor:Brooklyn Banks was completely regular. If you were losing money on it/paying judges like Rodriguez when he knows skateboarding is all about marketing, couldn't you have gotten that dude to do it for free? Maybe put OIAM on DVD with 5Boro boards? Find as many sponsors as you can to put in guest skaters and help get money? Maybe even throw in a contest in one of those NY skate plazas at the end with all the contestants before you eliminate down to the final 3? Maybe Business school has gotten to me, but for real ur best solution is this bullshit that is fucked. Leave skateboarding for skateboarders, and reality show competitions for everyone else.
-
I will never buy a 5 boro board. Ya sponsored skating has allot to do with your personality as well as your skating, but on tour or whatever you don't have some fucking clown in your grill all the time when your trying to have a conversation with your buddy. Way too much bullshit this year. Change the style of the show and how it was filmed back to last year and it would be awesome. Cut the soap opera shit and just let the kids skate at spots. One or two filmers minus all that production shit and your good to go. Lets get some relevant pro skaters judging the guys on their style tricks and have them hang with the kids while their skating to critique their "personality." I'm not talking guest appearences either I mean three pros judging all week.
-
the show most likely won't ever be back to its original greatness. whiteley and brook are gone. if klein leaves, then it's probably going to be up to another dude heading in the same direction as klein ($$$)
-
Alex Klein should admit his fail and move on. Trying to blame the kids for not being psyched enough because the show was fucked up and lame as hell is ridiculous. Pisses me off that they're trying to show case the kids in a negative light because the show was horrible and fucked up from the get go.
"Oh well the kids shouldn't complain about having to eat donkey testicles, because the plane ride was free", thats a bullshit argument right there. lolfail on trying to think a youtube show is going to pull MTV, if that's the reason for doing the show, than you're in it for the wrong reasons, PLAIN and fucking simple.
The best episode was the skating, not the high ollie challenge/pizza delivery. I also like how the producers pull Jamie Thomas into the last episode even though he wasn't in the show at all until then to try and give them some credibility. Yeah I'm sure having to do demos at a lame park sucks, but that's still better than a high ollie contest with lame forced antics like board breaking in your face. After seeing how Jamie Thomas acted at the Washington DC Zero demo in 2010, I'm not surprised he feels this way. Talk about a dude out of touch with reality, and I grew up a MASSIVE Thomas fan.

After that first kid focused his board he should've looked at Lou and said "look motherfucker, first try!"

yo, i don't care what Mandible or anyone else says about these dudes to try to clear their names. i ain't buying any of that "he's not really a dick. you just have to get to know him" or "he was edited that way. he's not like that in real life" BS.

i can't believe the shit coming out of those guys mouths. i would expect that from the producer of the show but give me a break.. they blew it. totally had the opportunity to save face and admit that the show was ridiculous, but they chose to back the show and the producers for a measly paycheck . if any one of those guys had just said "yeah, this show didn't work this year.. it was a bad choice of format, i feel for these kids" they could have retained some respect.
there's no way any of those old fucks would ever have done something like this in their 20's.
so awful.
i'm sure they wouldn't have minded having cameras in their face all the time if they were having fun and skateboarding.. everything in those little interviews is so out of context

-
I can't believe nobody has said this yet- but god bless these kids for giving this bullshit the axe when nobody else would. They had the most to lose by doing that too. They should be given a standing ovation for their rebellion. The whole "judges panel" were too into being reality show whores, the producer apparently thought he was kicking ass, and SLAP was scared to break the contract, so these kids stepped up, gave up whatever potential prize was awaiting them, and finally sent the message- SKATEBOARDING IS TOO GOOD FOR THIS BULLSHIT.
I would find it hard to believe the kids in this don't check this site, as they obviously found out about the contest somehow, and they are at the center of the shit storm. If you are out there- FUCK YEAH, you guys are all fucking awesome.
Saddest thing about this whole thing is that they were probably editing this thing the whole time to make the show look as good as possible and the kids look as bad as possible, and after watching the whole thing capped with them piling on these poor kids, everybody came to the conclusion that the producers were fucking assholes. The way they edited it was barely even noticeable that the kids were the ones telling the producers to fuck off, and that they just had bad attitudes and so the judges decided they weren't worthy. Imagine if they just edited it straight? oooof.
For those piling on to Fitzgerald, it was really obvious he was set up. For those asking why he would do the interview, how can you say no to the institution that put you on the map? He doesn't comment on the challenges, meaning he either didn't know or wasn't down, but only on the cameras. And honestly, maybe there were as many cameras in people's faces in the SF season episodes, but I really doubt that it was JUST the cameras that were pissing them off, but after all the bullshit, I'm sure that shit would get to you. It would be like putting a dog in a cage, abusing and teasing the shit out of it, and throwing anything into the cage, that thing is getting ripped the fuck apart.
As far as the "crew falling apart �:'( :'( :'( :'( " goes, it seemed like glasses kid and Finucan were bonding, but bonding on how much they fucking hated the show.
I can't totally hate Steve Rodriguez, apparently he was behind keeping the brooklyn banks open long enough for me to get a chance to skate there, which, at least on a personal level, cancels out the bullshit I had to put up with here. I'd gladly sit through all of these again for a chance to skate the banks again. I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thought he looked really weird though. It kinda reminded me of what would happen if you put a wax statue of a person under the sun and let it melt and droop, and I can't even explain why.
Oh, and the idea of being pro only being 40% skating is the most honest thing anybody said on that shit. So much of it is knowing the right people, kissing the right ass, and having the right image. There are plenty of pros that are terrible or haven't produced parts in years, but are down with the right people.
Can't wait to see Mandible's edit. I'm definitely in on the million view march.
-
Did they not get footy the last day? they should of kept em on for a few more days to see how dramatic things got
there were a full 2 days of street skating they left out, and i can only assume it's because leaving out the rest of the amazing skating makes it looks like they "deserved" to win less.
-
Lurker Lou is obviously a gigantic pole polishing bitch boy. Does your beard come with a trident? faggot face.
I didn't give a shit about the opinion of JT, when you make that much money you are no longer on the every-man's level of thinking/relating to skateboarders, so basically his point was pointless and who gives a shit, he's no Ed Templeton.
Did Steve Rod-boro have a stroke? cause half his face looks like it's refusing to move with the other half. Along with the shit that flew out of his regular mouth. Actin' like a fuckin' hotshot cool guy, you just fagged it dude.
I'll say what's already been said, this shit sucked and fuck the whole thing. Just let it die already. Start another contest or whatever in a different format.
Money just makes you a cunt, look at most of the dinks involved.

Before everyone comes down on Alex Klein for being part of this, you have to admit: The filming, editing and production of this show is really top-notch, and although it was put together with a relatively small crew of people behind the camera, it still looks and feels like a high-value production.
Also remember that a "reality show" is first of all a SHOW, and the skaters signed up to play a game. Now, all reality shows are pretty much whack, and no wonder a skateboarding game show comes out whack as well...
Alex is a talented skater and top-notch filmmaker and obviously not afraid to experiment. This experiment failed, but it's only failure if no one learns from it.

beyond whack. beyond embarrassing. i was actually backing lurker lou because it appeared that behind the scenes he was a rad guy...then here he is in the last episode throwing them all under the bus and carrying on like a moron. him saying what he did in this final episode voids any credibility in my book.
"nobody deserves it" that video of John Finucan is a legit part.
it seems like JT was set up. i hope he chimes in.
Lurker Lou is obviously a gigantic pole polishing bitch boy. Does your beard come with a trident? faggot face.
Did Steve Rod-boro have a stroke? cause half his face looks like it's refusing to move with the other half. Along with the shit that flew out of his regular mouth. Actin' like a fuckin' hotshot cool guy, you just fagged it dude.
^ amazing

exactly. almost everyone came away from this with as much as jon, and some people had even more (tyler and alex conn filmed like 2 full parts over the week). they all fucking killed it. as you can see in jon's part he put up, no one can say they "weren't ripping like they were last year"--they were fucking killing it. the episodes left an incredible amount of amazing footage out. but you'll all see it soon.

Before everyone comes down on Alex Klein for being part of this, you have to admit: The filming, editing and production of this show is really top-notch, and although it was put together with a relatively small crew of people behind the camera, it still looks and feels like a high-value production.
Also remember that a "reality show" is first of all a SHOW, and the skaters signed up to play a game. Now, all reality shows are pretty much whack, and no wonder a skateboarding game show comes out whack as well...
Alex is a talented skater and top-notch filmmaker and obviously not afraid to experiment. This experiment failed, but it's only failure if no one learns from it.
and no, i don't have to admit that. did you actually pay attention to the episodes? there are consistency issues, there are parts you can obviously tell were edited out of context to prove a certain point, the audio is often blown out, half of the HD footage looks horrible and dizzying because they used shitty wide-angle lenses.... joseph unexplainably appears on crutches, then disappears....lurker lou does a switch nosegrind.... the editing is fucking shitty.
-
The last episode makes it seem like everyone is talking about something different, everyone has a different idea of what they are there for. I get the impression that the kids thought it would just be a week long street skating jam session contest kind of thing.
Having the cameras in your face doesn't seem like something to really trip out on. of course there will be cameras, but i guess you're too close mannn. obviously there is alot of background stuff that we don't see and are being shown one perspective but i don't think its fair to put it all on the judges and klein. yeah what came of it wasn't the greatest thing, the judge panel, breaking boards and stuff is too theatric but i doubt it was as bad as the kids acted.
"putting them through hell" is overboard. you have to skate around a block with a pizza box, that's not a big deal, yeah its lame but its hardly the worst thing that could possibly happen, no reason to get up set. and i think the kids could have played the game better jump over some barrels, draw a picture, skate around a block, try and ollie a stick, and keep skating. you're getting exposure, free gear, meeting pros, obviously getting footage if that john kid can make a 2 min part in only six days.
edit: having read the nieratko article, i guess the whole format thing about it wasnt common knowledge
-
Stroke Rodriguez should give the kids credit, appears they took his skateboarding is about marketing bullshit to heart.
In the end you are in charge of your own image (in lack of better words) and how you project yourself to the public. The contestants did the smart thing from a marketing standpoint. They decided to show the skateboarding world that they are true skaters and strong individuals who arent going to put up with all the bullshit outside influences in skating.
Sure, none of them will probably recieve energy drink checks but they all proved that they dont want that. Respect

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, from an editing standpoint that shit was full of holes and non-congruous. Regarding the camera work, Mandible's VX footy was filmed well, but regarding all the "reality show" HD lifestyle footage, how hard is it to capture that?
Also, I fucks with that lil' country goofball, that kid rips and I like his weird style.

Come on dude, the CCS and Mountain Dew product placements were so smooth, I didn't even realize it when they gave them CCS catalogs for no reason at all.

it was nothing like last year, though. everything sucked in comparison. even if there were no previous oiams to compare it to you would still see how fucking lame this was. i'll give you an example, meeting a pro last year was taking a trip to san jose, rocking up at louie barletta's house, and going skating with him. this year eli reed turned up to the indoor skatepark they were staying at and said something along the lines of "i've seen your footage, i'm physced on it" then left. and that's just the tip of the iceberg. everything was bad, open your eyes dude.
the eli reed thing is irrelivant. like i said it was corny, and by the sound of it, every one had a different idea of what was going on. that's great that last year they got to "rock it up" at barletta's house, this year they went out skating around the city with jake johnson and cardiel. I'll take cards over barletta any day. the point im making is that i doubt it was as torturous as people say, and they still benefit from it
-
Who gives a shit how hard it was or how much they could have benefitted? The show was fucking terrible and I'm glad the kids intervened. Its not like any of us were fine with the show and when this came up we said "Actually, maybe some of those challenges weren't that cool." Everybody hated it from the beginning. If we thought it was god awful, imagine how terrible it would feel to be part of it.

Last year's season was a reality show too and it turned out great.
-
HERE'S THE BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE: Last year's OIAM was not a challenged based competition, it was a footage based competition. As a result, we got to see intense street skateboarding like Clipper getting amazing tricks done down it amongst other rad shit. And if you weren't producing footage, you had cool ass dudes like Joe Brooke, Whiteley, and Camarillo sit you down and give you an encouraging pep talk, like "we know you're capable of more, let's see it!". In this year's OIAM, you had three complete fuckwads (all my respect for those dudes, right out the fucking door) breaking your boards, telling you that you suck at designing graphics, that half of skateboarding is being able to market yourself, the list goes. If this was a purely footage-based competition, I really don't think anyone would have had a problem with the cameras.
That being said, I'm glad as fuck that all the dudes mutinied against this shitty "show".
And as for calling the last episode "The Crew Falls Apart", that's pretty disingenuous to what really happens. That title infers that the crew got sick of each other and couldn't stand one another anymore. That obviously wasn't case the case. They were just sick of, as Jon plainly stated, being "puppets" for the judges. That episode should have been called "The Crew Finally Realizes What a Completely Waste Of Their Time This Is".

"I have to commend Alex. I was one of the original founders of this event (with Whitley and Tony V.) I was the one that originally stepped it up from being just a video submission contest to an actual fly some dudes out and putting them on the road. The premise was could they pull it as an actual pro? Which has to do with a lot more then just skating. Although it got derailed and lost it's way you still gotta give credit for trying something new and not just letting it ride."

OMG! I had no idea that Nieratko wrote an article about OIAM! I wonder if it would stay on the front page of SLAP for longer than a day or reach more than one page of discussion? Well, it's a good thing you mentioned it in here.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT??
-
that was wack as fuck. they could have saved it by using mandibles edit for the final episodes and reverting the format but instead went out like a bunch of bitches because alex's ego was too big to admidt that he was a sell out faggot.
thank god they didn't dupe cards into this final episode of shit.
it's also extremely lame how the producers pushed the whole premise that "having to do slightly lame things things as a pro" like skating a shitty park in a demo or doing an autograph signing in a mall shop somehow justify's the bait and switch they pulled on these kids. jamie fuck this show, you know you need to come correct and hook someone up here. there's nothing about acting like a bitch on tv that is going make for a more marketable pro. you know why guys like heath and natas are legends and it's because they never put up with that kind of bs. it goes against everything that every skate rat, lifer type loves about skating.
seriously fuck alex klien and his dyrdek fantasys. he sold out slap, all the people involed in the show, the kids and all the people who've been involved in this contest in the past and justify's it as a bottom line issue. hasn't skating always been about making it work for a smaller audience using a diy, never sell out approach? what a fucking kook and embarassment this guy is. get bus tickets and film it homie style, you know, think like a skater you asshole...
-
i really hope no non-skaters see this pile of shit, total embarrisment...
This is NOT skateboarding

So you've all made comments on what you think went wrong and who the culprits are....
Lets come up with some idea's to salvage this show because those guys each have an amazing talent..
Someone suggested using the footy and comparing it and then we can vote for best skater?

there needs to be some redemption and i think those with skin in the game (steve, jamie, etc...) need to to be involved on the hook up side.
