I used to think they were both great when they started. Now I can't stand them. Transworld paying Ted 4 grand a month just so they have trendy content really bothered me so I unfollowed him. Weckingball is just lame now. He couldn't make it back in the Merlino days and has had a chip on his shoulder and on his front tooth.

internet moves quick and both gimmicks are boring now
ted was funny to me until i saw him selling t shirts lmao
weck doesnt do skate banter anymore he's just a bad character now

I still like Ted's account, but I think he could benefit from posting less. If for nothing else, his own sanity.

Mannybusters is funny, but otherwise weck has always been lame.

I like ted's take on portrait analysis, it's funny and informative. but he needs to stop worrying about the people talking shit. takes up to much of his story timeline. just block em and don't even respond, whats the point. its not even constructive.

I like both but it’s been a minute since a ted post has made me laugh.

Once the manny busters started slowling down, I unfollowed Weck. After that no jumper podcast he’s donezo

this. Ted just overloads with mediocre stuff when he actually is best when he posts smart, well thought out content. Weck is good for chuckle, but I could never see myself caring about either of these two enough to buy their gear.

Is being a Insta pro the next Youtube pro?

I've never been into either. Slap is where it's at for grown men making jokes about skateboarding.

both are degenerates

same, never followed either on insta, but would lurk their pages every so often.
i reckon ted will be done before weck though

Ive never understood how pros have genuinely got mad that they got "wecked". The dudes a clown and has no real pull in the skate industry.

I used to think they were the same person.

Now that I know the difference, can someone explain to me what weck is known for besides being buff? I literally do not get the appeal in anything he puts out.

HugeBodBoyle · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2018, 08:37:57 PM »

Ted made me care again.

Wecks no jumper had me weak as fuk, he told Adam22 he beat wenning in a game of skate wearing tims, shit had me rollin

He talks shit and its funny. That’s all. There’s a weird combo of going from laughing with and at him all at once.

Feedback ts is lame. It’s just one joke repeated over and over and I’ve never found it funny

VHS ERA · « **Reply #17 on:** August 06, 2018, 07:50:30 AM »

ted posted one yesterday that was pretty funny. The slow mo one. It’s not letting me copy the IG link or some reason so I can’t post it

Manny Busters is the greatest thing ever

purpape · « **Reply #19 on:** August 06, 2018, 08:19:27 AM »

Wecks clout meter maxed out months ago now he needs to get paid before it ends, he could refill his meter though with the no jumper and all that but I don't know.

Robert Baratheon · « **Reply #20 on:** August 06, 2018, 08:20:07 AM »

Feedback is still amazing. There is no way he's making more than most pros at Transworld.

UK TM · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2018, 08:21:20 AM »

Are we leaving Gary Rogers/Skateline out of this on the basis he doesn't act like a prick on Instagram?

CRAILFISH TO REVERT · « **Reply #22 on:** August 06, 2018, 08:28:17 AM »

Weck has a much longer shelf life than Ted.
Mainly because of the PEDs, but also because being a passive-aggressive, academic-intellectual, critic-comedian who hustles stickers, is a very specific and short lived gig.

90's pro stories, I got into... Only so many ssbsts I can watch though, esp with those hands.

You're joking right? If social media has confirmed anything for us, it's that too many pros are basically toddlers.

I said the same shit when he first dropped his little videos and was screamed at by slappers across the board, prepare for butthurt backlash if they haven’t already wised up...

It seems like Ted is always a bad beat or two from focusing the whole schtick but now he's getting paid so he has to keep going. The dread is where the real comedy is. Either it's an act or he's having regrets...both are funny to watch.
