USELESS WOODEN TOY BANTER / Re: Is Pontus sulking/asleep at the wheel?
« Last post by Síota on Today at 03:22:16 AM »Expand QuoteI don’t like art house skating I like skating and art
Stop that gimmick no comply wallies shadows and birds crap
Skateboarding itself is beautiful give me back classic style of videos like Transworld
I live in Europe I hate how all our crappy small town spots look like
Plus polar is one of the inventors of the shittiest thing in skateboarding next to dime: shitty overpriced skate clothing that fits like ass (may be not the pants) If I want a good jacket I’ll buy one from North Face or Arcteryx or whatever and not some 250 euro crap that fits like shit. Saw a fucking dime corduroy pullover at tj maxx the other day. It was one of the worst things I’ve seen in my life. Horrendous quality. Imagine spending 50 euros on a polar tshirt lmao[close]
didn't know there's TJ MAXX in Europe
They got them Ireland and the UK. When I was a poor student the one in Dublin was the go to for cheap skate shoes.

PHOTOS/VIDEO / Re: Nelly Morville Interview – Closer Skateboarding
« Last post by Speedway on Today at 02:58:56 AM »Hey Pals,
Just published Nelly's full Closer interview to the site. Seemed like a good time to dust it off following Limosine's excellent new video.
https://closerskateboarding.com/2024/04/25/nelly-morville-interview-limosine-paymaster/
"Not everyone is that happy all the time but if I’m having a good day skating then, yeah, I do feel like that a lot."
Thought I'd bump this thread rather than start a new one. Enjoy!

Skate Questions / Re: Losing interest in skateboarding/feeling left out
« Last post by in love w/ fs shuvs on Today at 02:49:51 AM »Skated today for about an hour and had a solid, clear thought about 50 minutes in: “what the fuck am I doing here?”
I’m 42 about to turn 43 next month, and I just feel like I should be out on the golf course instead of at the skatepark sucking.
I don’t feel embarrassed, it’s more of a “why am I here doing my stupid slow and low tricks” existential crisis kind of question.
Everything hurts and I feel like I can’t take risks like I used to because getting hurt is the absolute worst now.
Also, I gained 25 pounds in the last six months… which really makes skating harder and nothing I can do is making the weight go away (healthy eating, more active throughout day with at least one walk of 15 minutes, and 2-5 hours of skating a week on two separate days)
Real asf. I just broke my shit and I always asked myself the same questions but now it's just louder than before. Injuries r risky asf financially, career wise, and just make survival a whole lot harder. They also r not super fun either.

« Last post by BALARGUE on Today at 02:45:24 AM »I've no skin in the game especially re Opus but if anything the last few pages have shown how precious the GH fanboys get when he is challenged.
I wonder does Joa look at this and think "dorks'. His fans are the exact kinda people he would make fun of.

« Last post by big_kev_215 on Today at 02:21:15 AM »Expand QuoteExpand QuoteI had no idea what Opus Footwear was prior to the last couple pages of this thread, so I decided to pay the website a visit.
Those shoes don’t look much different from many shoes a good portion of you dorks hype up in countless other threads. They literally look like mostly boring Vans clones without the stripe.
Which I then think is hilarious because it is so obvious GH informs many of your unoriginal opinions. If you feel attacked by this statement, you’re the exact person I’m addressing in this thread.[close]
Buy a pair[close]
Fuck no, I generally don’t hype shit shoes on these forums. I’m an individual of fine taste.
The point is mine and any respectable individual’s opinion is based off of one’s own original conclusions, not what some talking head or YouTube personality suggests. When I like or dislike something, that’s how I genuinely feel.
Sounds like you not only missed the point of my comment, but you might also feel that it could be about you.
You’re so vain, so on and so forth.
How do you know if my opinion on Opus footwear is not my own, original conclusion? You are making a lot of assumptions dawg…
The point that I have made in this thread recently is that I think it’s acceptable for a YouTube personality to talk shit on a shoe brand in a comedic fashion, if said person isn’t feeling the shoe brand.
To your point, I think any “respectable individual” can look at the Opus catalog and see that the shoes appear like a cheap ripoff of a number of existing skateshoes - it certainly doesn’t require some “talking head” on the internet to suggest it.
