i'm surprised jenkem put that out.  that was as bad as a skateboarding article in Vogue. 

"He looks uneasy on a board but ah, he’s got a clean impossible, which is its own currency these days. Plus who could possibly stay mad at that smile?"

"Cyrus Bennet is a brutalist whose right hand has a tendency to tighten into a fist as his eyes glower. He seems, I mean, hungry, starved, as if somewhere along the way someone, a fortuneteller or blind seer whispered into his ear the date and time of his terrible, unavoidable fate."

I couldn't even get through the rest of it to grab any more ridiculous quotes. 
"See you are like Mark David Chapman and my posts are John Lennon. You having nothing to offer so the best you can do is try to assassinate my beautiful posts. My Dental Plan is Strawberry fields and you are a sexually frustrated fat man."  ---NigNogNooo---

They're really philosophizing a video that's 25% Aiden Mackey's middle finger(s).

this. the writer used about a million brain cells to dissect something made with about three. if it's tongue in cheek i applaud it.
i have nothing to fear but jesse himself.

That was definitely well written/thought out, but just on an unworthy topic to pursue, in my opinion.
The 917 video was good, but nowhere near deserving the dissection the author just gave it.

the person that wrote this tried harder than AO tried to co-opt gay culture (so yeah, pretty hard)

my synopsis of the video would be: "crust punx" in Nikes and 3rd tier 90's pop punk meets a supreme catalog to show you how much they don't care about their image (even though they do)

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

People actually watch videos with the sound on still? Weird. I’ve actually been loving the iPhone update cause you can leave videos muted and keep your own music or whatever on.

Sometimes you can tell when a writer likes to masturbate while reading their own stuff...or, even sexier, having their stuff read back to them with the Google robot voice girl.

I dug it. Yes, it required enough attention that I couldn't read it on my phone on the subway, but skate writing that you need to use your brain to produce and digest is few and far between these days. Kyle rules, and the essay he wrote about Reynolds a few years back was one of the better pieces of skate writing to come out in the last decade.

You guys don't think that a surprise video from a fashion brand taking the title of video of 2017 merits looking a little deeper into our little ecosystem?
A few interesting quotes but probably not new topic worthy.
