2022 unpopular opinion thread

[IpathCats]

I think front feebles where they're super on top of the rail and dipped over too far are ugly.

I kinda know what you mean.

99% of back feebles are pretty gross.

I am tired of hearing that skaters are special because they learn how to fall and get back up again in an early age or that they learn how to be persistent. The most sponsored skaters i know where never able to handle minor set backs in real live and have problems living outside the skate world. Learning how to physical fall and get back up does not help you in society. Heck, people who tried to persue a career in a team sport probably got more life lessons by having to deal with asshole coaches or being put on the bench

Nah bro didn't you hear? We're the only ones who can catch falling cups.

Yeah and remember blondey survived getting clipped by the car because he skates.

There's also that dude who got smoked in Right Here for Pablo. Good thing he skates...

Idk I watched a Ted Talk with Rodney Mullen and he told me I needed to hire only skaters for my team at work, because they're the most resilient and hard working people on the planet. Also they usually come with a great education from a highly accredited college institution. Please ignore all of the people you've met before at a skatepark, they are the exception and NOT the rule!

Despite Tyshawn's new part, still hope Louie wins it

I hope this isnt an unpopular opinion. Louie really deserves to get it at least once, before tyshawn does twice.

That part was pretty fucking nuts though. I skate DC a decent bit and that nollie flip over the rail into the bank at the dept of energy had me stoked. The last two tricks were fucked too, totally insane.

TBH, i'd still rather watch louie skate curbs/curbcuts

The part was phenomenal and TJ is a once in a generation talent, but I feel like the kickflip photo got people so hyped that they were ready to declare him SOTY if he can posted a minute and a half of curb skating. This doesn’t mean his next part won’t blow the doors off the competition and cement his status as The Great One, but I agree that everyone is jumping the gun a bit.

[BALARGUE]

the great one ahah
that's weird

There's things to be learned in organized sports and skateboarding. There is common ground in both, but skateboarding in my opinion has more to offer since there is no time limit and you go as long as you want/need to. There is no clear goal unless you make one for yourself. It is totally individual. Sure you have people/friends cheering you on but no one can land the trick for you. There's good in both, but I am biased because ya know, I'm a skateboarder that doesn't care for organized sports.

You mean reverse willys and overwillys?

[winecrab]

Willy grinds are tight. It became my warm up trick down rails after seeing Jon Allie do one in new blood. I wanna see someone do it down a big rail like walnut.

[L33Tg33k]

I like me feebles level and my smiths dipped.

[Dwyck]

Michael Burnett is a net negative on skateboarding

[HORSES]

Referring to someone or a particular clip as "cool guy" is some of the laziest criticism you can post on these boards. Kevin Rodrigues quit Supreme and posts stories of him watching Fully Flared, Slash & Lizard King. That's the polar opposite of 'cool guy'.

Kevin Rodriguez quit supreme?

That's a bold move.

I dig his skating.

Only punk and heavy metal should be allowed in skatevideos.

Maybe that’s the new cool? Supreme is stale as fuck. Everyone and their mom wears that shit. Fully Flared, Slash & Lizard King are so not cool that it’s probably starting to be cool. Maybe he wants to be “edgy and different” which is the vibe I kinda get from him.

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert on the situation at all. I’m not cool nor have I ever been and I’m fine with being who/what I am.

I am legitimately excited to see whatever he pulls together out of the 45 minutes of insane bangers he is just sitting on.
