Can someone explain to me the difference between a Sierra Fellers and a Josiah Gatlyn?

I don't remember this part, but apparently it came out just last year:

Sierra Fellers: WIld Power

Always loved Murphy too.
[close]

The difference is that josiah gatlyn is enjoyable to watch skate.
[close]
I've said it before and I'll say it again; Sierra haters are idiots.
[close]
you said that like sierra hasnt always been boring as fuck
No, I say that like he does appreciably difficult stunts on his board while looking different than other skaters and yet he does not get credit for it. That Wild Power part is case in point.
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

ACE HARDWARE stores are Independently owned and are not required to pay franchise fees like every other company out there, could even be a former pro skater working there! 


come by ACE, where the owner and workers are your neighbors!


ACE IS THE PLACE !

(free grip if you mention SLAP PALS at any SoCal ACE ..house grip not that fancy shit)

I heard Mike Sinclair and some of the Tum Yeto boys are getting a crew together to "sort out that Richie Jackson nigga."

Anyone else think it was funny that Sierra, a seemingly wacky Christian, used Benny and the Jets by Elton John in his Wild Power part? Regardless, dude is a sick skater, however, if you're not selling product, what are you being paid for?

why, because Elton John is gay he's supposed to have some existential crisis with his music or something?

I skated with Sierra a bit when he was a little kid in Pensacola, and he's always been a stand up guy with a good head on his shoulders.  Even as a little kid he had a pretty mature view of religion, and while confident in his own views, never pushed it on anyone else.

Most of you cretins would put Ethan and Rusczyk back on tomorrow if you ran Foundation, so your opinions are invalid.

pretty simple concept, if you're shit doesn't sell, you're no longer needed.

Says nothing about his talent level, plain and simple, nobody gives a shit.

Pretty sure he talked about people being possessed by demons in one interview. I am guessing that is the tip of the iceberg.

No. Pretty sure it was to the effect of "yeah I'm a christian but that doesn't have anything to do with my skating".

Have you read the bible? That shit is wacky. Burning bushes talking to people. People coming back from life after death. And then there is this whole ridiculous notion of heaven and hell.

Also he said at age 7 he would give himself to jesus. I know most pro skaters don't progress past the mental age of 7 but choosing your belief system at the ag of 7 seems pretty wacky.

We are past this. We've already gone over it- its not about the fact that they kick people off, its about the fact that they treat people like shit when they do it.

Also, to whoever was saying Sinclair is doing the best he can with a limited budget- its not like foundation is the smallest company out there, or the only small company. Companies like Magenta and Polar are killing it right now, and I guarantee they have a smaller budget.

The fact is, Sinclair is a shitty TM who can't build a team that develops interest, no matter what their budget is. He bases his decisions off of old paradigms that nobody gives a shit about anymore. You got guys that are good at skating nothing but Socal gaps and rails? Wow, that will impress a lot of people if you went back about a decade in a time machine. The whole "rail/gap guy" thing is dead, unless you are the cream of the cream of the crop doing that, nobody gives a shit. Teams that do well understand how to evolve with the times. Sinclair doesn't understand any of that, and keeps putting on talented but dull team members who do nothing for foundation's popularity, then he kicks them off and gives them shit as if when he put them on he should have expected that he had the next Cory Kennedy or something, when he never has, and never does. Its like the dude thinks the '90's never ended. Terrible and shitty TM, and terrible and shitty human being.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

Actually sinclair knows the industry far better than you and gets paid for it

Ryan Spencer is fucking amazing and well-rounded. I like Dakota too, though he's about as "rail guy" as it gets.

I know the answer is probably just "not getting enough returns" but is there more on Abdias getting the boot? Regarding Gipper's beef, Abdias was getting more well-rounded than ever over the last couple years with GX1000.

So Magenta and Polar are 'killing it', but they both have a budget smaller than Foundation.

Okay

Abdias is in his late 20s. Lost cause.

Gip is talking like he has personally known this man for decades. How much can a man really glean about someone else's personality and flaws through heresy about alleged business practices? I would say next to nothing.

I think the only "wacky" thing here is that you're hung up on somebody's beliefs that you don't know which isn't even relevant to the subject matter. There are plenty of illogical things in the world, and if you think all 2.3 billion people in the world that adhere to Christianity are wacky then I pity that bubble you live in.


And no, I'm not religious. Far from it. I'm just not a bigot either.

Other than Sinclair, I can't name another TM.  I don't like some of the things that he has said, but's he's a character,  Love 'em or hate him, he's good for a laugh, and any pub is good pub.

I have seen more inches dedicated to Merlino's laptop then I have about more talented pro's actual skating.  

Dakota clearly rips.

Duffel is a legend.

I enjoy Foundation, and I think they are a lot more popular than some peeps are giving them credit for.
