Every skater on Primitive is boring
PJ Ladd is overrated
On Slap Mullens impact is overrated, Gonz's is underrated

[close]

To confirm, is your opinion that slap believes the Gonz is underrated and Mullen is overrated, or that you personally think that Gonz is underrated and Mullen is overrated.

I was a little confused there.

[close]

I believe Gonz is way underrated, on this board anyway, and that Mullen is overrated.
And yes I find Tiago kinda boring.
And the dude who said Triceratops were the worst dinosaur was close, but its the Stegosaurus those dudes suck.

[close]

Some hot takes right here

[close]

I stand firmly behind my Stegosaurus comment

Those are both awesome dinosaurs. T Rex is most overrated. Firstly, it was a scavenger, and 2nd it was covered in feathers. It was probably close to Nathan Lane in the Birdcage, which is cool, but not kind of the thunder lizards shit.

I was with you until the Nathan Lane Birdcage reference now I am all about flamboyant gay killer thunder lizards.  Also I need to know where you stand on Pterodactyls.

Hell nah gonz is anything but underrated. That's not even opinion that's just fact.

[Mr. Stinky]

Flip in flip out usually looks spastic. I'd rather see longer grinds/slides with more control and style.

Backing this hard right now, but I will say there is little I love more than a nice, long tailslide with a graceful flip out.

He's pretty much the reason we are all here whether we know it or not.  He gets a fair amount of hate on Slap.

Haha, you have a point. Pterodactyls are ok, I guess, but I hate the people that hype them.

Ikr? Imagine thinking triceratops or the mighty Steg are the worst dinosaurs, when souzhousaurus and gryposaurus exist(ed).

Also, Tiago boring? Franky V boring? Does Jorge just wanna watch flyouts all day? Maybe watch Jaws jump off a cliff?

[ziggy]

hell yeah it was

[Airwrecka]

nollie heel, back tail and treflip are the corniest tricks a person can do in a line

[goingapelikenigo]

i feel it is just a matter of time that every skater will realize it makes absolutely no sense to not ride a symmetrical board like ishod and many more already do. and asymetrical shapes besides shaped retro boards will be a thing of the past soon.

I can totally see this happening, really want to try one.

I like having a front and back truck for different groves.

Nollie heelflip is a poor mans nollie kickflip

I was going to the Vegas one. More as something to do with the buddy I was meeting there. But covid.

Chad Knight was on some future shit.

Brian DeLaTorre’a hand stee

[weon]

i wanna buy STRAYE shoes. just to use the insoles in other shoes, but still...

this feels more like a real confession now that i typed it out

[Jerrys Kid]

All flat ground tricks are easier when done fakie.

I don’t agree with this in the slightest but it’s an unpopular opinion thread so not shit I can do lol. Whenever I see a nollie heel in a line I’m like “damn that probably took fucking forever”

The ole west-coast line used to consist of a slow nollie heelflip and then push to another trick down a stairset.

Mike Carroll's arm flail was just as bad as T-funk's.

Jerry Fowler had arguably the best flat ground 360 flip ever, but I have lost some respect for him since Heath said he lied about nosesliding el toro.

All nollie crooked grinds that are longer than 1 second are invalid. I like when they just bounce off the end of the ledge.

I don't understand why AVE has a SOTY. His part in DC video was cool but that came out in 2003. I don't think I heard his name since then until he won. IMO he is nowhere near as iconic as Heath or as talented as Herman, neither of which have a SOTY..

7.75 is better than 8+

I really felt this way when at Tampa this year when everyone was goin nuts for Nigel and I was just saying to myself “come on Andy Anderson, you got this...”

Yes!
