Kader on anybody's trust, still?

[Uncle Flea]

If you haven't had a major knee injury, you probably have no idea how devastating and debilitating it can be, especially to a professional athlete. The expectation that a skateboarder would be able to meet or exceed his or her prior output level or performance standards a mere year or two after a serious ACL rupture is totally unreasonable and outlandish (it basically makes you physically handicapped unless and until you get a surgery -- which may or may not be successful). A smart athlete would take it slow and spend at least two years strengthening the leg and muscles around the knee before even considering getting serious on a board again.

I couldn't agree more.

I'm a fuckin Idiot. I blew my knee doing a rock to fakie on a baby bloard Oct 2015. In a 3' deep cement bowl.
Full dislocate relocate from 80hd toe drag.

I was riding an old Dubs bloard. I got it somewhere. I fuckin loved Dubs growing up.

Full bowling ball knee. I was like fuck it! I'm going to skate on it. I made it 3 days.

Went got the scans and shit.

I couldn't do it. Didn't do the physical therapy. Kept on skating even though I couldn't walk. Took forever to get better.

I missed out in a lot of cool s***.


Watching Hasoi do lay backs all day in zero degree I learned them kinda. I got two FS ones now and one bs one sometimes.

I just never understood how you did it.

Imagine if I took care of myself proper. I could have skated with him all fuckin day. Learned way way more from the absolute #1 style in history. I'm talking about street too.
The street tricks was kinda mids looking back but the execution and style rocking all that funny spandex and shit too.
He's the fuckin greatest yo. I fuckin love christian. I wanna see one of his sermons someday.

Im very knowledgeable in biblical matters tho I do not believe in godt.

Anyway take care of your knees because I had waist high pop in multiple tricks for decades.

Now I got a Trash can on its side on good days. Just Ollie maybe fakie heel in 20 tries. Probably a wheel bonk to ouch.


My right ankle is the thing that truly bothers me. It feels ok with the 808 on. Off man it sucks.

Feeling like my ankle is made of sagging silly putty with a huge needle in it.



Thanks Dennis. Thanks Adidas. I love you and what you've done for me.

I didn't need to be happy for the rest of my days. I needed a new walking style and shit.

You cats owe. I'm going to get it rn

[Shtonk]

Is Stella Reynolds not skating anymore at all? Is it connected to Kader? What does Andrew know? Find out tonight in our double feature...

[Gus UwU]

I think kader has a lot of footage stored in fat bill's pc, when he drops a part it wll be dope. In Weed man we trust

I have , I get it . This whole post is also discounting the lack
Of output since baker 4 in general though. And even baker 4 left us disappointed . Maybe everyone is a little jaded since he came out swinging as a kid though. He gave us two parts the last three years but they felt like throwaway. We know he’s good so everything does that isn’t mind blowing is lacking , and maybe that expectation is the problem? It just feels like he was so hyped for so long but everything he does someone else could do? That recent switch flip post was sick but again it’s like if that’s easy for you where’s the footage?

He’s 21 there’s a lot of time still for that Great part but his career is definitely starting to look more like pjs than ishods in terms of the next big thing type guys.

[Shrinedescender]

How long was Cyrus Bennett out for his knee injury? The guy put out like three high level parts this year, and that knee injury was no joke. It seems clear to me that Kader's gonna continue to skate at his own pace and those of you holding your breath for the career-defining, prophecy-fulfilling part are gonna be sorely disappointed when it never comes. The kid might have been a prodigy but he doesn't have the motivation, and now that Reynolds is out of the picture I doubt anyone around him has any interest in pushing him. Hell, he's still getting pro shoe colorways at his current level of output so where's the incentive?

Personally, I'm fine with Kader weed b-roll and the occasional Supreme edit clip making up the rest of the kid's career if that's what he wants. Never been that crazy of a fan or expected much from him.

About 6 months before he was popping ollies. Then probably a couple months before more serious skating. I DM'd him because I was curious about my knee surgery recovery timeline. I think Cyrus recovered better and faster than anyone could expect, though.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

damn that's fast i reckon. a homie tore his acl two years ago and is out ever since. hope he will ever come back at this point.

[BobbyPshew]

He's actually managed to smoke himself out of what could have been a skate career like the second coming of Antwan Dixon.
Stop smoking weed and get back on the board with a filmer, is it that hard?
I've stopped smoking several times, and I smoked a ton, when I did and never found it hard to stop.
Reynolds must be so bummed.

[manysnakes]

I keep seeing "[so and so] had a knee injury and looked at them know", as if every knee injury were identical. And for every pro athlete who has a knee injury and bounced back, there will be another who, despite the best doctors, surgery and rehab, was never again able to perform at an elite level. Not saying this is the case with Kader, but it's complete nonsense to draw comparisons, especially since none of you are doctors, much less his doctor, and therefore you don't know shit about his injury.

right, I'm perfectly fine, with Kader.

[conan777]

Just because one or two people came back almost immediately from ACL replacements doesn't mean everyone can. The vast majority are never the same and I speak from experience. Kader is washed up though, he sounded unbelievably fried in his bunt interview. Hopefully he puts down the weed but I fear the damage is done

Adrian Peterson ran for 2k yards less than a year after an ACL tear. I think football is a little harder on your body than skateboarding.

I think you need to leave that blasphemous thought alone.

[No Wave Comply]

I think it was a bad call to trade the Boss for Billdo Baggins as his mentor/board supplier. It also seems like an epically terrible business decision to have not yet put out a Kader pro model on Violeta. What's the wait? He's just leaving money on the table.

It's hard to trust anyone these days.

I have an old saying never believe anyone under 30.

Yesterday I played a show. It was a little fuckin chaos when I arrived.

Some dumb ass mofo lied to me 3 or 4 times and eventually said yeah here take your property back. Like I said I got two.

Fuck all that. Dude is lucky I didn't whip his ass with words because I can't stand lies. Especially when I first meeting someone and shit.

Fuckin dick head. I hope he slaps. He can read what I think about all that.

I had to struggle to be cool about it. I didn't wanna spark off at a benefit show in front of a bunch of heads.

I was Fuckin crazy hungry so who knows how far I would have taken it if the fool didn't take deserved words well.

Since he's so comfortable with lying who knows what would have happened.

He was fuckin tripping

didn't austyn gillette blow out both his knees at the same time?

[BobbyPshew]

I'm OLD and my right OCL is blown, but it's not like I can't skate transition and skate flat.
Anyone under 30 has to earn my trust, anyone over, I can usually vibe with and feel I can trust them.
Whinge, whinge, bloody whinge, as Chopper said.

[nopopnostyle]

If this forum had existed in the nineties it would’ve had the same kind of threads speculating about Gino, Penny, Keenan and others..

Some of the most interesting skateboarding doesn’t happen under pressure.

[blurst_of_times]

I tore both of my knees apart in a skydiving accident years ago. Of course, folks were tougher in those days. I was jitterbugging that very night and skating the next. What's your excuse, Kader

[manysnakes]

[Allen.]

I lock my car doors when Kader crosses the street. I just don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.

Just thoughts and venting.

It was the lie that made me angry not the loss of discontinued speaker cable.

I felt like that guy was like something I saw on the floor is gone!

I best stop that old bummy ass thief from stealing from himself with a false claim that I got two of these things.

Shit took the wind right out of my day. I knew it was a lie but I handed over.

Dude gave it back like he was doing me a favor with out saying sorry I was wrong.

Claimed he was doing me a favor. I fuckin hate that shit.


Man enough to lie to an OG be man enough to say sorry.

That's basically the jist.

Coolin' on the scene like a horse in a stable
A brother got ill and tried to snatch a fat cable
I stepped back, like it wasn't no thing
Punched him in the jaw with the fat gold ring
I had an ace in the hole when it came to that
(Yo Uncle Flea: you was packin'?) You know I'm strapped
Posse kept rollin' it was hard to get with 'em
So I stepped back, and unbuttoned my Lee denim
They kept coming, just like I figured
So I stepped back, and started sprayin' niggas


Man enough to lie to an OG be man enough to say sorry.

I like to make up stories.

Like the time I gave Dway the confidence to jump the great wall with a big ole hug on the deck.

Or that time I bs flipped Arturo but landed on my 90s calculator so I lost the clip.

Dropping in on the Brooklyn bridge was by far the worst one. I'm still waiting to come back to life.

I'll never forget the time you tried to hippy jump that razer wire and got cut in half real bad. Luckily we found some dental floss and a needle and got you stitched back together.
