Seriously?! Kids today have no appreciation for a good line. They just want hammers done in deep-v-neck t-shirts. That line was fucking ridiculous.

I know, it is comical to me how jaded the children are about skateboarding these days.

I'm 27 and I'm not jaded. I think we are so inundated with good footage that we become immunized to this level of skill. I think Gustavo is pretty flavorless whereas if you compare him to guy like Luan you see a huge difference in styles. Style matters a lot.

I think the hardest trick for him in that was the back d on the quarterpipe.

Hey, don't know if you know this,  but to "become immunized to this level of skill" through being "inundated with good footage" is actually to be jaded. So, yes, you are jaded.
And you would have to be to not be able to appreciate that nollie flip front nose which was in the middle of like a 10 trick line.

No, being jaded means hating tech skaters because they are robotic and only enjoying non-typical skaters. I like both except that gustavo is one of those extreme examples, where he's both extremely robotic and almost style-less. Which is why I mentioned Luan, he's extremely skilled and also has style and thus is fun to watch.

Of course I appreciate the level of skill, I mentioned it in my first post. My point is that you have to be more than just a robot to be relevant in skateboarding, everyone understands this.

I hate when dudes are like, "x dude isnt so good because he's not as good as x greatest dude." Well damn, sorry dude's not the perfect number one best skater, but why can't you just appreciate their skating for what it is. Do people that type shit like that really skate? Are you chilling with your friends and say things like "Yeah john that was a cool bluntslide, but it was no busenitz bluntslide, you fucking suck."

I honestly didn't think anyone could top Shane's line. Holy shit. Zigram needs a software update.

Yo homie, definition of jaded - "made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by surfeit" (surfeit -an overabundant supply : excess)

Damn, Particleboard Penis. Chill out. The French Fuck is just saying Felipe doesn't get him hyped because he finds his style to be bland.

i think that push into regular was interesting looking

it's not like the berrics leaves much room open for expression as far as aesthetics go

Shane wins it by style alone.

This line was amazing but I hate how his back looks preparing for tricks.
Would do him good if he can fix that, even just slightly.
Still admiring his line.

just because you can purposely hold your hands down stiff doesn't make you any more clean or stylish, you can tell when something is forced. Sick line yes...very sick. Style.....ehh.

Yeah, how dare you particle board penguin! How dare you point out that not only is he jaded, but he pretty explicitly defined himself as jaded!


The funny thing is that every single one of the nitpicky style comments is' just a complete bullshit excuse for your thought process that "he's too good, its not fair, I've gotta find something wrong with him!"

Pretty fucking amazing.

Complaining about style here seems to be over looking the madness of that line.

Not really even the right place to bring it up.
