Send me your insta @. Whether you're better or not has zero bearing on my opinion of female skating. I'd personally rather have less tricks and good style but I'm putting more and more in the bag as we go.

I'm not interested in getting harassed by you on Insta. Which is why we'll post footy here in this thread for everyone to judge. Pure footy, nothing else, no game of skate, just footage. Agree to the terms or be branded a coward who "skates for fun" ~in your own words.

I'd prefer to combine powers with other outspoken women here but so be it.

I wouldn't harass you on insta tho. Also whatever you're doing here has nothing to do with anything in the thread so there's that too.

I’m aware of the game/series, but it seems like a weird reference. Especially since the word “beheading” was used prior ITT.

I kind of want to buy a Beatrice board just to piss people off.

You showed your hand with that contrarian troll move. Just think, you could’ve just kept quiet and fronted at your local like it was a sincere virtue signal.


I've talked shit about two female skaters here specifically and will continue to have an opinion whether simps like you appreciate it or not.

sle_epy, who’s the other female skater you’ve shit talked? Just curious.

Also, Puff was referencing Highlander (1986), which is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy (ha!) film about a mythic, immortal Scottish swordsman who can only die by beheading; there can only be one Highlander, but his arch enemy is always trying to take him out.

I wasn't being overly serious, I just think it's kind of wack to be a main character and start talking shit that's not relevant to the thread. I understood the references.

I said rayssa has little kid robot style and that I hope she grows out of it because her technical skills are great. I also said smthng like I hope female contest skating becomes less prevalent in terms of setting a standard for women's skating. I prefer street parts.

Gotcha. No worries. Just trying to diffuse the “beheading” threat… and flexing as a film buff.  ;D

Was the other female skater you’ve shit talked (aka criticized) pro? I just can’t think of any other controversial female pros.

I dunno if rayssa is pro but she will be if she isn't already. I don't pay much attention to groms outside of contest stuff or maybe insta stuff that gets suggested.

Nothing in her Bio about footwear design? Check out her sketch of the ZAHBA. If I worked at Vans I’d be worried she was coming for my job…

Edit - comment originally poking fun at typos and misspelling, but saw she said she’s dyslexic, so you can’t hate on that.   Leaving this up so people don’t make same mistake

I have never gone gambling, but I've seen footage of both and I'd place a $100 bet on @PuffinMuffin in Puffin V Sleepy when it comes to style, bag of tricks, and skill. All day. 1/2 the winnings to Puffin!

Very cool that they took such deep inspiration from Beatrice and did pretty much exactly what they wanted put her name on the outside of the shoe and everything. Now imagine if they did that for Reynolds. They wouldn't even put out a Navy Chukka like he asked for. All they did was put his name under the vans logo on the tag, and put a unique insole in. What a crying shame that really was.
