My farts smell good.

Na they’re gross. Mine smell good, though.

everybody likes there own brand

[Croquet temper]

There are too many McClung brothers and it doesn’t even make sense to distinguish them anymore. Should just be condensed into one McClung for efficiency.

[Easy Slider]

Skateboarders have become pro-authoritarian, and I'm not okay with that.

Great avatar. Point Break is a great movie. Not sure if this opinion is unpopular round here.

[OldSkater]

the nine club is too ridiculously positive. like I understand they want to be a positive and uplifting force in skate media and I get that. But sometimes to be a force for good, you have to call out what is wrong with the industry. Kenny Anderson's "love potion" board coming out after the allegations, is a good example of this imho. Important issue, that I guarantee will never get discussed on the show.

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.

[close]

I actually thought YOUR opinion was considered the general consensus around these bloards. At least, it seems to be on the threads I frequent.

Maybe I just fixate on the hype for him I see because it doesn’t make sense to me. My bad haha

Didn’t he win most illegal trick of the year?

I could go the rest of my life without seeing a token GX hill bomb line- wallie/impossible/kickflip/basic trick then a bomb that looks just as steep as all the others.

Anti Hero needs to free up some roster space. Drop TNT, add Raven, give Raven's spot to someone that fits Chocolate better.

any time i see those hill bomb lines i think i am gonna watch someone literally die

[ballintoohard]

They can't die, people don't die on youtube. I guess that just gets boring after a while, you know they're going to make it or skid out on their ass.

Anyways it's all personal taste. I never really did that stuff growing up so I don't have as much attachment to it.

Reynolds fs flips are ugly. A lot of dudes does it better: Tom Penny, Austin Gillet, jb gillet and Ryan Descenzo.

very good point. I can't remember their names rn but the main dipshit who keeps talking about his switch flip switch manny, and the newer dipshit who looks like he has three middle names that are all Chad, aren't they both on Craig? One can't expect a hard-hitting unbiased interview of KA from these guys

Let's not forget Tommy Sandoval

[Billy Bitchcakes]

Why do you want Chris Roberts and Kelly Hart being the main voices of sensitive issues in the skate industry? Can you imagine those guys having a roundtable discussion about sexual assault allegations in skateboarding? I'd rather they leave it to somebody who might know what they're talking about and just carried on jerking off to pros talking about how they got sponsored for the 250th time

main voices? I mean I guess they would be BY DEFAULT since the rest of the industry is ignoring it

Raven wears slim fit pants, i don't want him on 18. Fucking hate slim fit pants man, they're the cancer of 2010's skating.

conversation would probably go like this

crob: so have you guys heard about this chick making allegations about kenny?

kelly: man, when i was in florida, i saw mad alligators man...

steezus: nah allegations bro, he's talkin about rape bro

jeron: kenny don't do that shit. i'd like to axe some questions to this woman for real

crob: so she says, he raped her while she was passed out.

steezus: how does she even know it was him when she was passed out?

crob: it's pretty crazy.

kelly: das crazy! wow.

jeron: kenny is cool, there is some other shit going on with this chick i'm sure.

kelly: you guys remember when kenny did that sick long ass nosemanual @(random spot)? that was so sick!

crob: yeah man, he kickflipped into it too, so good.

jeron: kenny's the man.

crob: it's crazy, wow. that's kenny anderson for you people.

end of conversation

EDIT: having second thoughts on including jeron satirically saying this, since i think he's cool and i wouldn't want to insinuate he defends predatory behavior by default like an asshole,  but i'll leave it crossed, since i have to stand for what i wrote.

They’re only slim fit if you’re comparing them to the size 42 pants Tyson Peterson literally wears. 

Also AH doesn’t need to free up roster space.  This isn’t the fucking NBA, there’s no salary cap or hard team numbers.

I doubt there's more than a dozen people that know that they're talking about in skateboarding.

Thrasher didn't call out ka. Skate jawn didn't call out ka. The bunt didn't call out ka. That is all ok, but if the nine club doesn't call him out they are wack.

^^^ THIS. Just say you don't like the nine club without dancing around it via other reasons.

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).

[Croquet temper]

I also like Tool.

And when it comes to the KA allegations, it doesn't do any good for the Nine Club, Bunt, etc. to weigh in on it because you'd just be spreading rumors both for and against KA about something serious that requires due process. If they did talk about it at all, it would only be to generate controversy and views, or like PR for Kenny where they defend their longtime friend, not some truth seeking mission with an impartial jury reviewing all the evidence.
