I had a pair of airwalks around '95 that had an automotive tire sole (Goodyear?) foot breaking sounded like a car accident tire screech. They were ugly but lasted a long time

Alamy's got the scoop on Gilbert Crockett's 2017 fit.

etnies is doing a goodyear collab, i wonder if the shoes will produce the same sound you are talking about.

Pretty sure it's a michelin collab unless they're doing a goodyear one as well.

Ricky O used to rock the fuck out of them (and make them look good). I wanted a pair solely based on that fact

member when people tried to make tricks look good? bring  that trend back

all this forced/faked sketchyness is fucking stupid

This! I think people are just being over saturated by "weird/trendy" tricks, so you have a bunch of kids hurrying up to learn the new hot trick or adding spins/flips to it without actually trying to do it well.
I've been watching a lot more Tom Asta lately because of that reason, I just wanna see a solid kickflip and some good style.

i like this idea - it's cool to see that al davis left habitat amicably, but i wanna see companies fire shots at people leaving on bad terms with farewell vids, since in 2017 beef is all about airing people out on the 'gram dramatically

The Al Davis vid cracks me up every time

[sharkin]

haha that's awesome

I'm 25, good guess.
I really like skating ledges the most, and seeing Tom Asta skate the SM Courthouse in person really got me wanting to slide longer and pop higher. This was a reference to someone current who I'm inspired by.
I know in Slap-world I should be saying Henry Sanchez instead of Tom Asta, but we'vs.

On the contrary, you go down the street to Stoner skatepark and see about 50 kids filming instagram clips that include body varials or flailing tricks hoping to land them. I don't really think that looks good.

[handsclapanin]

Witnessed some of that intentional storking the other day at the park. Not a good look.

Yuck.

I see more and more footage of riding off a curb into a manual trick and then popping/flipping up another curb, I guess that's a growing trend. When Gilbert did it in Propeller that's the first I saw it. It was surprising.

You don't have to be in your 20's to respect this person's opinion. I'm over 35, remember the good so called good ol days, and I see people like Asta as a direct descendent of people like Henry Sanchez or Hensley in their heyday. As long as street skating became the dominant image of skateboarding, there has always been a place for clean solid tech skaters. All the other trends have moments.

I was not dissing Ian the poster or Asta, I just know what he's thinking because I was that age once and thought the same (and still do) and go fuck yourself lizzie

[wattscain]

"Fuck Yourself"? That's a bold statement on the other end of a computer screen. I think you might be a little defensive considering my response was pretty tame with no intention to insult anyone. I must have hit a soft spot

No offense taken, I actually don't really understand what point you're trying to make or what my age has to do with anything. I've been skating for 17 years, and consider myself a pretty big skate nerd, so I'd like to think my references for who I like and what type of skating I think in trendy is pretty on point.

Point is, many kids are copying tricks they see Pro's do... these kids try to learn it so they can post their clip on instagram, their friend wants to be better then them so they add another body varial or shuv in there, then you end up with a bunch of sloppy throw together tricks with no real precision or skill.
For me, the essence of good skateboarding is not only doing hard tricks, but also being able to do them with control and style.

[shit_for_brains]

I hope Tom Asta becomes a trend he's amazing.
