pants in skateboarding

This post got me thinking we should have a thread about the most iconic pants in skateboarding


Pants have always been important part in skateboarding. Maybe the second most important piece if cloth right after shoes. With the current trend of patterning in trousers we have seen some questionable choices in video parts. some names that come to mind are sean "pablo" murphy with scotch checker wannabe sid vicious, kevin Rodriquez in tactical supreme pants and say nick trapasso in pyjamas not forget that triple camo dude..

What are your favorite or memorable pants in skate videos?

1992 Tom Penny. Natas shorts. Duffel. Muska' s red capris. Trujillo/asselin/Rowan short guys, baggy dickies. MJ and Guy can fight over who gets to own the straight leg brown cords

Biebel looking like a damn genie in Fully Flared is the best duh!

Yaje's pants game is nice too, weird without going full blown mid 2000s Jason Dill.

But from a practical level early 2010s Gilbert Crockett is probably where most people should reside. Sometimes dickies, sometimes jeans, never shorts unless its a million degrees, but why are you skating when its that hot go swim somewhere.

yeah, they had some atrocious shit like the obama trackpants but their skate jeans had some nice washes like these  light blue-violet ones below that i've been struggling to find in any other jeans (and i'm not willing to pay more than $25 for pants to skate in so there's that)

Rob Welsh is definitely the best at rocking jogging pants. Damn shame he wasn't included in that clip.

leo's pants are always on point
Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really.

Pants are so played out.  I just show up at the park, "All shirt, no pants, like Winnie the Pooh." 

Seriously, that Welsh photo is awesome for some reason.  He's about the only dude who could pull off those sweats and a basketball jersey.  It's getting to be shorts season here in DC.  I'm not going Puig short, but I do like skating in shorts when it's warm out.

My friend and I like to call remarkable pants in skate videos 'favourite pants'. Glad to see Muska's favourite pants included.

Also, this thread reminds me of the purple sweat pants section in Switch Mongo.

Pants are terrific.

I mean, didn't this define the contemporary era of pants?
You know I thought these forums were a for skating not discussing fetishes

Ed Templeton and his short pants. I remember he was a sore thumb during the big pants era.

Some very good pant choices in here!
Was 80s only about those short shorts or who defined that era of pants?

I'd figure gonz belongs here. That's my favorite the fencing breechers he wears in that video. But he has had some unique selection of trousers through the years
