Everyone seems to save their parts for the SOTY run...we were over saturated in near the end of last year.

I get most people save their best footage for the end of the year and I have no problem with that, but I feel like I'd appreciate parts a lot more were they released sporadically throughout the year than pretty much all at once, as I'll likely rewatch those parts several times before the next one drops, whereas now I'll likely just rewatch the one part that I liked the most.

OP is just feeling down.
Dont worry little buddy, it’s not like that bro!
SkateboardERS are dying all the time, but skateboardING is forever, maaaan.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

too many nike skaters got the boot..,video parts are pretty rare in 2022.

What happened with street league..

I not see that passion anymore, everything looks boring nowadays....No more Dylans, Apples, Carrolls etc.

what the fuck are you talking about? we're in the same late winter/early spring lull we've experienced the last four, five, six years given that most of skateboarding saves its major content for the end of the year to align with #SOTYseason, and even given that, we've gotten a nick mathews part, a wknd video, and not one, but two baker videos in the last eight weeks. there's plenty of stuff planned for the rest of the year and there are plenty of upcoming skateboarders with lots of star power among older generations and younger generations as well.

truthfully, i've never come across such a devastating mix of willful ignorance and natural ignorance. i pity you.

Skateboarding is dead when there isn't a bunch of old people complaining about the state of skateboarding.
