A lot of skate shit, if you think objectively, has a bad rep that it really doesn't deserve. Could be because it's groupthink and it's hard unraveling formed opinions. Could be because the rep is so old, it's just accepted even though things have completely changed for the better. Could be because of corporate ownership. Could be for reasons that are just plain dumb. So who's bad rep is most undeserved? (and feel free to add stuff that's not in the poll. but vote anyway.)

i voted 411... but dork tricks arent that bad, theyre fun, sometimes
-
I wasn't even aware that Brazilians had a bad rep. I picked dork tricks, simply because they are fun...just don't make a career out of them a'la Nate Sherwood and Julio Delacruz.
-
last few 411s have been tolerable, esp the one with tony and olly

Dork tricks are fun.

agreed

who the fuck voted for corey duffell?
-

and youre one to judge.and have you made a skate career? the 2 stair handrail in front of your dads house that you "almost boardslid" doesnt count. when you get a skate career going, then you can talk.
-
Dork tricks, becuase they're fun. But in
Duffell's gotten better with each part he puts out...
-
I don't think Duffel is that bad....sure he said some stupid shit a long time ago but whatever....he is just a dude that's into the 1977 punk scene and more than likely idolizes Stiv Bator...big deal....I don't see a problem with that.
-
danny gonzales? cmon............
-
i just found out i'm as old as lucas puig...that is really weird for some reason
-
im super fresh and i like watching corey duffel alot
-
I voted shorts but should have voted brazilians. The real reason they get bad press is because of the varial flips
and I can't believe people actually voted for corey duffel. I hope him and all his stair-counting faggot fans jump off something too big and die. there is nothing, let me repeat, NOTHING, good about corey duffel
-
Shorts for sure.
-
EVERYTHING FUCKING SUCKS AND YOU ARE WORSE THAN HITLER FOR NOT HATING IT!
-
would have voted for dork tricks, then didn't 'cause i didn't know that they had a bad rep.
so i voted for shorts.
-
shorts. when it's 110 degrees out, your pants get soggy with sweat like 20 minutes into the session. no thanks.
-
I can\'t go in public wearing shorts, they just don\'t work for me.
-
I don't actually get what's so wrong with skating with shorts on, i don't really have a problem with it, bar the idea that 3mm or denim is going to protect my leg from a shinner.
But saying that i freak out if i don't have to wear a jacket when i'm outside in case of a cheeky wee rain storm, hey it might not be hard rain but it's persistant
-
Really, who voted for Duffel. That kid sucks on so many levels. Who cares if you are part lemming and will follow a group to jump off the highest precipice? Unoriginal, bland, and talentless. Everything skateboarding shouldn't be. Fuck that dude.

-

-

-
dork tricks are one of the funnest parts of skating.
-
all that shit sucks except brazilians and shorts.
only because carolino has filmed some good lines in shorts.
i thought everyone here loved dork tricks.
-

julio is just kept doing the same tricks he did in 92/93, the fuck are you talking about. he always had dope companies too.
-
any way i voted brazilians, there are a lot of sick skaters from there (rodrigo tx, rodrigo peterson, carolino) its just the park rats that fuck it up for them.

duffels better than kev kev is just a backstreet loving queer
-
shorts aren't bad and neither are colored wheels
-
transworld isn't particulalry bad, if only in terms of their video quality. they make a magazine that appeal to all age and talent demographics, which isn't bad if you want skateboarding to be accessible to those who may be genuinely interested, but not wanting to expose them to the elitist pretensions of certain other magazines.
-
i said transworld too, danny g is def a well rounded skater
-
dork tricks fa sho
-
danny gonzales sucks
-
fuck off
-
I put colored wheels because I don't see the point in buying white wheels if they're just going to turn yellow
-
^^^^
thats exactly what i was thinking.
i'd be okay with it if they turned a cool yellow, but negative
-
I put colored wheels because I don't see the point in buying white wheels if they're just going to turn yellow
and coloured wheels lose their colour and turn all grey/brown and look like shit.
really, what's wrong with dork tricks?
