Anyone have the original version of HUF’s Forever video with the Thin Lizzy track and all. The version on YouTube doesn’t hit the same as the premiere and the leak we were all posting on here. I had the original but my old laptop died, and with that, the mp4

Is the concave noted anywhere at all on the shapes?  Are they all pretty similar?

Not bouncy, just fast as hell on rougher ground and still bark when I slide.
Definitely feel like a 99ish but don’t vibrate me to death.

Wait, you mentioned that they slide better than 99s in the previous post, but then mention that they still bark in this recent post - could you clarify? I had an issue with the F4 93s barking on flat bars with pinched tricks (crooks and feebles) so I went back to 99s.

Barking when siliding is a thing powerslide thing, making noise when sliding or pinchgrinding isn't the same bark...it's silly, I know but true.

I'm guessing they sound like hard wheels when powersliding.

That's very exciting to hear.

I may be bias because I grew up in the 90’s/early 2ks but skateboarding feels like it doesn’t have as many “rockstar” type figures as it did. That isn’t the fault of any of the current pros either, dudes like Ishod, Yuto, Louie etc. certainly stand out and are at the top of their games but there really isn’t as many centralized points of focus like there was pre internet era and parts are just as ephemeral as a post on IG. Videos & magazine features used to really make you feel invested in the skaters as characters in this separate universe of skateboarding and they’d steer the entire culture with what they did/how they did it. Im also aware that this might not be the feeling for someone who’s currently 17 and geeking out on whoever is their favorite pro rn but just from my perspective I think some of what you’re talking about has been lost with the shift towards fast paced culture.

Can't believe I have to root for a team from Texas but here we are.  I am 100% on the god damn Mavs train now that they're playing that evil green team. 
Ran into Bill Walton a few times at ASR and Agenda over the years, he was always coming to trade shows randomly.  He was truly an awesome individual.

The fact that Shammgod is on the Mavs coaching staff is enough for me.

I also love that the 3 Dallas teams not the Cowboys are up right now.

I like a lot of things about the Mavs actually, I just despise "Texas sports fans" for the most part.  But Cuban is a super solid owner, if you haven't listened to his All The Smoke episode, it's really good and he comes across as one of the best owners of all time.  I like Luka's game and Kyrie seems to really have found his gear in that system.  Kidd has always been likeable to me as a coach as well, wish the Lakers kept him when he was an assitant in the bubble for us.

I'm a Cowboy hater to the core, but I love the Mavs roster and organization.

I especially loved the Michael Finley - Dirk Nowitzki - Steve Nash Mavericks. They were the NBA Street cheat code.
