Ventures suck and they've only been successful lately because of good marketing and Bobby Worrest.

Idk I’m currently skating my first set of ventures on a quasi acid ply deck and I’m loving them

Ventures > Thunders

100%, ventures feel like a Indy and thunder cross or just a more solid thunder

50s to 5 0 are cool when done on purpose

never seen a lazer flip i like

the faster and sketchier the tre the better instead of that one foot catch shit
speed wobbles at the end make them even better

you can never have too baggy of a pant but you can always have too skinny

Habitat shoes were actually pretty good.

Vans is the best skate shoe brand.

Put me right off of circle jerks all together; I’m strictly solo whacking these days.
Thanks a bunch SLAP.

nothing to do w/ 2021 but my evergreen unpopular opinions:

the frank black tune in koston's YR part is great and worked well

pressure flips look better than inward heels

Couldn’t agree more, fuck inward heels they’re way too difficult for how shitty they look

Slap circlejerks a lot of things and has this same effect on me.

Bad Slap things:
-sub 8" boards
-Ventures
-obsessing over pants
-actually supporting super baggy pants as if nothing was learned from the 1990s
-claiming they prefer relatable footage as opposed to mind blowing shit.

I can’t stand the Vince Nava signature grip; looks like Guy Fieri’s hot rod shirts to me.
Sorry for the disrespect young homey, and may you Rest In Peace eternally, but that hot turd has got to go. May well be the only thing worse than Cyril’s red Shake Junt jobber in my opinion.

Obsessing over outfits.

Can agree on sub 8 boards and ventures. They rule.

I'm withholding judgement until I see someone casually drop one in a line between ledge tricks without lifting their arms.

I would say find a deck with a slightly shorter wheelbase than you’d normally get and put Ventures on it to see why they are worthy of a jerk that is circular.

Landing bolts / super clean, clinical, and copacetic skateboarding is boring and without character or couth. A bit a sketch always brings out real personality, style, and individuality.

Also, transition skating will always look more bad-ass with pads than without.

pushing full speed after you land your trick looks horrible. please stop it.

Why? Better than pushing slow though. Definitely a million times better than pushing mongo!
