FA should stand for Fucking Awful

[Paul Cicero]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Fucking Awesome. The graphics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Aesthetics the graphics will go over a typical skater's head. There's also Dill's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these graphics, to realize that they're not just cool- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Fucking Awesome truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the beauty in Fucking Awesome’s existential skate film "Randy Farkus" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Aidan Mackey's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Fucking Awesome tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

You are giving Dill WAY too much credit, when the logo itself isn’t even an original font, how can you honestly believe all that to be true?

Oh shit I thought we was a FA aficionado

[HyenaChaser]

It is disappointing they became poor man’s supreme, the shorter wheelbases really fit my proportions and I’ve always felt good on one.

[sk8punk110]

Skating a bunch of FA boards made me hate steep concave and realize girl is the best to ever do it.

Someone left an FA board at the bushes at the local spot on Monday. I left a hoodie with stains on it and some clapped out Blazers yesterday. The FA deck was still there today haha. Brand new without grip and no one wanted it.

Absolutely correct

[fs5050]

Like most things in skating it started off cool and still isn’t uncool yet since they get new people. I personally didn’t like the nak board I had before so I would never let fa tax me for an extra $20 and even more dislike for all the people that think wearing it at my local surburban area that think they are edgy. It’s also kinda just too hype for me like it’s not a zumiez brand but sometimes the people I see wearing it make me feel like it should be cause people love marketing and fitting into molds

fucking awful take

It went over your head.

[Hedgehog In Da Fog]

I think the 8.25 deck is just something a lot of people are into, and can just buy the more tolerable graphics.

[Mr. Kamikazi]

What’re we doing? Talking about Dill….

[whagman]

hockey is alright though, right?

[augustmoon]

I still think it’s funny that when FA announced they were gonna become a board brand, Slap collectively proclaimed that it would never work , the name was too stupid, dill was an idiot, and it wouldn’t last 6 months, and then they proceeded to be the best selling brand directly out of the gate
