Title: Re: Should tik tok skaters get any respect??
Post by: BALARGUE on July 06, 2022, 08:04:40 AM
i would say whatever the platform
But only a few youtubers deserve attention (Ben, GH and a few others)

Are there any legit skaters on Tiktok ?
Are we into underage sexualized lipsyncing ?
Are we into stupid memes ?
Does the tiktok format add value for the viewer compared to Instagram ?

Yes, if you can find them in the never ending sea of underage girls with their boobies out dancing to the same sexually explicit songs. Those girls should not get any respect, but the skaters yes if they deserve it.

Social media happened that's what.

Skateboarding was literally just people standing on wood swerving around, no likes or nothing before. Just having fun.

You can look at like the VX era like in the 90s and early 2000s and it's really such a different landscape compared to now. Social networks and smartphones really have changed the world and it's subcultures.

It's weird but so is everything else. It's just up to the individual to moderate their usage.

What's tik tok?
An app that used to be for sharing photos to your friends/followers, but gradually grew into sharing videos and now those videos are called reels and you can play awesome trendy music, previously used in 90s-2000s skate videos, Over the whatever clip you got for the day.

Oh wait am I confusing tiktok with Instagram? Sorry I cant tell the difference nowadays

honestly, the way instagram been recently, Tiktok has been superior in almost every way
I know it sounds insane, but they keep trying to change IG and the alg is all messed up rn esp w promoted posts and ads
Now the clear problem here will be, are they a skater who puts footage on tiktok, or are they a tiktok skater, just like youtube.
Do they skate and put some content out or are they a "youtuber"

I found a few older/local ripper types who just like to post footage, they deserve respect.
the older guy re-learning to skate? respect as long as he isn't corny with some "journey" and 5 mins of talking and excuses

then there are some trick tip kids who are honestly not bad, I could have used their advice many moons ago
some of themn are a lil too youtuber ish to me though

Then there are the ones who all wanna be Versace plug trap lords or rare shoe skating try hards.
Which by all means I respect skating any shoe but wen that's the sole focus (harhar) just to get clicks from hypebeasts? Wack

There actually a good amount of real pros on the Tok, Primitive has a page for example. But there’s way too much distracting cray obscene stuff in between the feeds. Kinda like Instagram is now with all the stupid suggested ads/posts. Only difference is insta is more tame and has more ads.

It depends on how these people are (mean, disrespectful...), not if they've a Tik Tok account, Twitter account or bank account. It's like asking if skaters who post on online forums should get any respect. People with prejudices shouldn't get any respect, that's for sure.

Skateboarding is an iconic and beloved sport and pastime with a rich history and culture. It can be easy to get nostalgic for the ""good old days"" and question how the sport is evolving. However, it's important to remember that skateboarding is constantly changing and adapting to the times, just like any other sport or hobby.

respect for being able to do tricks well with good style

but less respect than if they put out a full part

a full length street part will always be more respectable, no matter the platform

If they're a kook, then no, if they're not then yes.  Who gives a shit about the platform, it's like arguing between VHS & Beta, same shit, it's just skating.  There's a whole lot of losers on there though, and that's just visibility, and what kids wanna see.  If that's their thing, then sick, go for it, but i'll watch old guy shit like thrasher uploads and 411 rips.
