Yaje has a weird arm thing going on, bad style and has never done anything groundbreaking to the point where I should dick ride him like "most" of SLAP does.

Nothing against the dude but I honestly have never watched any of his parts. Something about the thumbnails makes me uninterested (I know how dumb that is).
...And of course, there’s that hair thing too.
(Going back to the well for this one, but fuxxit, it fits.)

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Going back and watching Reynolds' baker 3 part was a snooze fest. Watching him do the same fs flip or kickflip with the exact same looking landing where he squats on the board on various 10+ stair sets is not a particularly interesting viewing expirience.

Best Reynolds front side flip is in the end. Since that they look ugly and just complete turn on the ground.

Pants got too tight. 

The bottom of the stair angle on the fs flip Wilshire 15 in baker 2g makes it look like the worst fs flip, but the angle across the street shows he doesn’t land it as sideways-y as it looks in the 2nd angle

Some folks need to get serious, the one over the rail the Hollywood High 16 that kicks off Reynolds' B3 part is as textbook a frontside 180 kickflip as it gets.

You guys definitely didn't pay attention to Reynolds baker 3 part, there's lots of tricks in there, some cool lines, a wallride. I mean, I get it that he dois kickflips and fs flips a lot, but don't push it.

Reynolds got sloppy during his peak coke days, but otherwise has kept things really proper. You don’t watch a Reynolds part for insanely contrived NBDs, you watch it because you enjoy his style of popping and landing specific textbook tricks.

My unpopular Reynolds opinion is that I prefer Baker 4 Reynolds to Baker 3.

I cant believe the same guy of The End and 411 did that Baker 2g. Man, there was one of the worst pushes and fs flips in the history of skateboarding.

I disagree. he always had good style. but also is the gold standard of a pre 2010 era hammer skater

at the time those big tricks and fs flips were absolutely considered NBDs. reynolds and crew played a major part in the stair counting era and in driving the hype behind that.

I guess I'm not explaining it right. Reynolds will NBD a spot with his textbook tricks, but he isn't Nyjah'ing or Midler'ing shit. You're right with the pre 2010 thing, but I guess I was referring to his entire career not just a period.

Do you realize that Nyjah and Midler are like 15 years younger than Reynolds and they haven't put out a third of their footage on a eternal coke hangover?

Yeah, Baker/Zero/Flip were the guys who pushed gap/rail skating for bigger and longer NBD's of certain tricks. Crailtap were the guys pushing never been done tech ledge stuff. Guys like Koston, McCrank, Apples and Arto pushed tech stuff on rails and hubba's.

Every time someone passes away or has a GoFundMe, it shouldn't be a sticky on the front page. It should disappear after a month. How many sticky's do we need to have to visually detract from live threads? At some point enough people will pass away that the whole front page will just be sticky threads.
