I just want everyone to know that I'm only 32.8% skateboarder, and that's on a good day. The rest is just soy and cum.
If the early 90s was "anything goes" in regards to trick selection, the mid-to-late 2010s could be "anything goes" in regards to spot selection.
I don't really understand what's going on and I haven't read this thread yet, but I can tell I'm angry.

Good overview. Absence of kenny reed is a big oversight though, as he was crucial to identifying the world itself as a spot. He was the first and best known international spothunter pretty much, and now companies big and small go on filming trips to exotic locales. Maybe that's why it's easy to overlook his pioneer status, because it's become so common that it's hard to remember how uncommon it once was.

I remember 90s and even early 2000s articles where they talked about Western Europe as being an exotic location for a skate trip. Now you need to go to islands in the middle of the Atlantic to do something of the beaten path.Edit: I am referencing Medium Skate Mag's trip to Soa Miguel if any of you missed it.Soa Miguel is in the Azores - look at how remote that is! Not your normal skate destination. Edit 2: let me also say that I don’t think this was necessarily an oversight though. He hit a lot of key points. Would have been impossible to cover everything.

i don’t think any of you are real, i think slap was invented by my mom to make me think people want to talk to me
And I'm surprised there is no mention of the invention of skatestoppers in the late 90s.
