why do people hate on the berrics so hard?

i see people hating mad hard on that shit. i check out their battle commanders and sometimes weds with redas and certain bangings but thats about it. ever since i heard about hellaclips i just fucks with that.

for example i seen something with alex olson hating on it but whats the reason ?

just wondering what other people think and their reasons.

This thread should just be shut down before it spirals out of control and reaches a maximum level of stupidity.

Wasn't trying to be a dick to you. Just go look for any thread with like 4 or more pages, and there is probably a berrics debate in there. Or better yet, forum search for berra or berrics. There's been so many threads... it's getting old. Everybody either likes it or they don't. That's about it.

the park looks fun some of the dudes that go skate it are cool.

im just not a fan of berra so i dont want to support him.

I don't hate the berrics at all. I mean really, it's free content (mostly)
Having said that, I have a few mates that seem to hate it hard.
To answer your question.. well I can't.

I hate the Berrics because they are money hungry Jews who try to market skateboarding towards kids who wear Monster/DC t-shirts, they act like they are helping skateboarding but they are basically whoring it out to make a profit.

 you cant blame berrics for that shit... i had a kid come up to me at a park asking me what my top 2 ams that should be pro were, and when i asked him he said micky papa and felipe gustavo. Neither of which have even had any real coverage on the berrics.

 Kids know how to use the fucking internet. Sponsors are constantly throwing out web clips of up and comming skaters. When i told the kid I thought wes kremer should def be pro, he didnt even know who he was. Theres tons of amazing skaters like MJ who have been crushing it for so long, but kids who just started skating have never heard of legends like MJ, all they hear about is the skaters that sponsors are pushing out. Shane oniell gets a fuck ton of coverage, hes been on the berrics alot, beibles world, his own youtube page, etc etc etc... theres tons of clips of him all the time on the internet, so kids get a heavy dose of shane oniell while never hearing about MJ, so what do you expect?

 While i do think berra is a kook for trying to make it sound like hes the angel thats saving skateboarding, the site is objectively beneficial for skaters. Every recruit/battlecommander gets millions of views, and theres no fucking way you can spin that to the negative. And its not just skaters like shane oniell or cory kennedy that get all the attention on the berrics, unknown guys, or people who dont get alot of attention are also up there (lois tolentino, nick mclouth, kelly hart, etc etc etc). I dont see how people can make appreciation threads and threads to put people on company x, then hate when that same person gets coverage on the berrics. I cant hate on that. That factor alone makes up for all berras kookery and lame shit he posts on the berrics. Ohh and batbs have been fucking amazing

they created an online suck off party for kids who just started skateboarding.
other than that, i like the fact that they give exposure to some low-key dudes here and there.
i don't go there other than when a OG drops some clips but even then i'll try to watch it on youtube.

I think cause it's just a tool.  One time my UNIT tool didn't pass checkpoint because they didn't allow any tools onboard.  So I had to run back down to check in and tell them to slip it in my bag which had long been checked in.  Surprisingly they got it right.

because it turned from a fun little creative project, to a way for steve berra to retire early.

basically they saw that it was gaining alot of followers so they started amping up the stakes with the canteen and all that other skateshop bullshit, even selling their own "brand" in skateshops across the country. Which is all amazing and cool that they were able to turn a personal project into something that made money, but now it just seems vanilla. nobody wants to see the same dudes doing the same tricks on the same shit for that long.

its really just an over-produced skate reality show, where the producers make quick decisions just to put out content just because people will watch it. then they cash in, not paying any of the stars of the show (pro skaters) any money.

its the jersey shore equation. ive seen it a million times.

this is a really bad point. I'm sure the exposure that the berrics brings to these dudes is far more valuable to their career then profit sharing the revenue the site makes from banner ads.

honestly i would not be surprised if berra himself makes like 30 accounts wich he would give DLX avatars/signatures to fit in, through the ages he would slowly try and change slaps opinion of the berrics though these wel assimilated 30 accounts playing off each other in random discussions.


its probably happening as we speak...

edit:  i dont have  that big of a problem with the berrics, just berra. every time that dude is infront of the camera i just cringe, its like fingernails on a blackboard

Every recruit/battlecommander gets millions of views, and theres no fucking way you can spin that to the negative. And its not just skaters like shane oniell or cory kennedy that get all the attention on the berrics, unknown guys, or people who dont get alot of attention are also up there (lois tolentino, nick mclouth, kelly hart, etc etc etc). I dont see how people can make appreciation threads and threads to put people on company x, then hate when that same person gets coverage on the berrics. I cant hate on that. That factor alone makes up for all berras kookery and lame shit he posts on the berrics. Ohh and batbs have been fucking amazing

look at this gay ass nigga givin me walls of text defending the berrics or some shit

I need a new jigsaw. Any recommendations? My last one burned out after about 5 years which, if you ask me, is not long enough. Power tools used to be so durable. I had my moms old drill from the age of 7 to about 19 or 20 and it was already 10 years old when I got it.

some of yall niggas dumb as hell. i was on the berrics when it FIRST started, back when they had like 4-5 clips on there. basically i look at it as just another place to watch skate footage. theres no reason to HATE on the berrics. niggas will say "they target lil kids, yadda yadda, berras a kook, yadda yadda." honestly, who the fuck cares? its fucking skateboarding man, watch that shit if you feel like it. how lame do you look saying "i dont like steve berra so FUCK THE BERRICS" like forreal none of that shit matters. just watch the footage if you want & if you dont then sit the fuck down & watch something else. yall muhfuckas get butthurt over the stupidest shit. its a fucking website. if a website bothers you or your skating that much, then you have a personal problem.

and no im some everyday berrics fan. i check the site out when im bored or wanna see a dope battle commander or something. theres a difference between simply not liking something & HATING on it. if you HATE on the berrics your a fucking lame. not because you dislike the berrics, but because your just being a hater.

they put out good footage, have other shit to pass time, & now are building public skateparks. i say, the berrics arent so bad.

 For me seeing tricks filmed down the same spot over and over gets boring, same park gets DEAD BORING. Skateboarding for me is mostly about discovering new spots. I used to watch footage there for 2-3 months but i got bored to death and i havent even watched a single thing since BATB 1.

I dont hate berrics but i really dont care about it.

i really don't think corded vs battery powered tools last any longer.... of course, eventually batteries go bad, but a quality cordless tool from dewalt, milwaukee, or bosch will serve you well and last a long time. but price goes up beyond what you wanna pay for those anyway.... you can probably find a makita or a milwaukee if you're willing to spend $125-150.... hitachi makes a decent one for under $100.

 The berrics has pretty entertaining shit to watch, one thing thats annoying is the fact that its based upon the same people over and over, I get the vibe that those few people are the center of the universe and that alot of other skaters are overlooked simply because there not shown flirting with mikey taylor and reda at a hair salon every wednesday afternoon, When they have random footage of people you havent seen in awhile its cool, but thats rare occasion, But Nobodys making me log onto that site anyway, so I guess its my fault if im annoyed by it, some peanut butter toast and a nice shower outta do me right

Well, if I have to pay more than that to get something that lasts and is a good quality I will. What would you recommend? I mean, I don't want to pay $500 but there has to be something under that which will last.

^^^Start googling reviews on jigsaws and see which rates highest. Definitely go corded if you don't need to be away from an outlet. I like a cordless impact driver and cordless recip, but that's about it. The batteries don't have a super long shelf life and cost more than the tools themselves which sucks when they go out. That said the Makita LTX series of cordless tools are pretty badass.

As a rule Makita, Dewalt, Bosch, Milwaukee are all pretty good. I have a couple Rigid tools too that got super good ratings and were priced right. Also Rigid has the best warrantee by far, you just have to make sure and register your too when you buy it.

Thanks for the help as well. I got a Dewalt drill recently and am pretty happy with it. I went through 3 drills in the past 7 years or so and finally decided to put some money into a decent drill. Want to do the same for a jigsaw. Slap really is a wealth of information!

What do you prefer, a mag float or wood float?
Title: Re: Why do people hate on the berrics so hard?
Post by: marginal way on September 02, 2011, 11:07:21 AM
really, you need at least three finish tools, wood, mag and steel.

1.- wood (doesn't have to be a nice storebought one, it can be pretty much anything.)  to get your rough shape. i know some dudes who are all about making custom fiberglass floats for specific stuff, too.

2.- a magnesium float to help compress the aggregate, and bring up the cream. this is crucial.

3.- a steel trowel (not the shitty square one, but a rounded pool trowel. they cost more, but it's worth it to not have the corners of your trowel fucking you up while you're trying to finish.) to "burn" the concrete.

but if you're super broke, and can only afford one trowel, i'd say get a mag. at least then you'll be bringing up some cream.

the main difference is that the mag(nesium) float/trowel reacts chemically with the concrete as its curing, helping bring up more cream. both work fine for shaping and compressing.

I slacked off on skateboarding for a couple years and recently got back into skating often. During that time when I wasn't skating much, I think the berrics was the only thing really keeping me attached to skateboarding, not letting me fully lose interest in it. I skate more than I probably ever do now, and it's mostly because I just started skating often and fell back in love, but I don't know if I'd even care about skating right now if it weren't for me watching the Berrics everyday for the year or so I slacked. Plus it's a cool way to see how your favorite pros are.

I really dont think people hate the berrics, maybe its just the feeling that you'd rather be outside (which is what everyone here agrees upon i presume..) + a mix of jealousy i think :P

I was gonna be all sarcastic and be like "oh, you hit the nail on the head with that one," but actually the 'being outside' thing sort of holds water.  It's not just 'outside' though, it's authentic street skating, as opposed to indoor park montages.  It lacks integrity and authenticity, ESPECIALLY since it's mostly streetstyle obstacles, painted gray and crammed in a warehouse.

In a similar vein, that's why no one liked Berra's practice of using fake street spots in a video part.  It doesn't ring true.  I used to see ads and footage of Oyola skating janky-ass street spot/junk spot shit that he made out of pallets and roadsigns and shit, but it wasn't trying to disguise itself, ya know?

i can understand that, but really its still skateboarding. i wouldnt film a video part with footage from the berrics or any other indoor park, but you know theres days where its too hot to skate, or your getting kicked outta spots, etc. if you wanna skate somewhere whenever you want, you can goto a park and where shit is MADE to be skated. smooth ground, perfect ledges, etc. as opposed to skating a sick spot but having to dodge cracks & shit like that. for filming & shit your gonna want spots like that cuz it looks cool, but not every single day is some fully flared "film-your-ender" type of day. sometimes you just wanna skate without worrying about anything, or wanna get a new trick on lock before you take it to something with rougher terrain or whatever. thats what parks are for. thats prolly why so many pros skate the berrics. you can just be mellow & learn/practice shit, as well as kick it with other skaters

one of the best things about skateboarding is just sessioning a spot w/ your friends. you can do that in the streets, or atta skatepark. either way that vibe is still gonna be there. ill agree that if i had to pick between watching street or park footage for the rest of my life id pick street footage, but that doesnt mean park skating or park edits are any less "legit" than anything else. a sick trick is a sick trick. period.

 the shit thats annoying is when people HATE on something like park skating or whatever. its one thing if you dont like it but then people tend to act like complete assholes over their opinions, & try to insult those who may think differently, when most of the time their own opinions are just based on what "everyone else" is saying.

yeah, i'm sayin, i don't like it.  so there ya go.

if you think pros film battle commanders and shit at berrics because it's a nice, indoor, crack-free spot you are blind homie.  the berrics isn't your local community skatepark.

that "a trick is a trick" argument is bullshit.  If you can't hack it at a street spot as opposed to the park, you are lacking as a skateboarder.

Now start talking about tools fucker.

 obviously a battle commander isnt a relaxed walk in the park, id bet money that alot of battle commanders/recruits have more views than any video part they put out previously combined. But its not like every pro that goes to the berrics is there just to film a battle commander...

 I guarantee you any trick any pro can do at a skatepark, they can do on the streets. Ledges people skate in parts are just as good as the ledges in skateparks (see barcelona or china footage for example. The marble ledges in china are probably better than a skatepark). Only difference between the two is that one you get kicked out at and other is in a area designated as a skate park.

 With the level of bust that most street spots are these days, progressing via skating only street is practically impossible, especially at a am/pro level. The days of a love park or emb where u had a skate plaza not designed for skateboaridng with no security are over. Berrics just allows the pros that are going there anyways to skate get extra coverage.

so if someone can do a switch hardflip back tail ona park ledge, but havent gotten it ona street ledge yet, theyre lacking as a skateboarder? when i talk about skating parks as opposed to street you have a better opportunity to PRACTICE your tricks so you can take them to the streets. youll learn a trick much faster atta nice smooth park than you will in the streets, so once youve got it on lock at the park you can take it to the streets where the terrain & setup may be more difficult, and landing the trick will be that much easier because youve already gotten consistent with it somewhere else. its like you "study" at the park & then "take the test" in the streets.

battle commanders & shit are obviously used as another way to get coverage, but its not like every single pro thats skated there has one. if the berrics wasnt a place for pros to practice together & hang out it wouldve never gotten as big as it is now. like i said earlier, ive seen that shit since it first started when they barely had any videos. no trickipedia, FTF, none of that shit. just 2-3 battle commanders & a few recruits on a basic ass website. over time more & more pros started skating there regularly, which made for more footage which then gave them more views & now its expanded into what it is today.

That was my first though but I need to do some pretty precise cuts with sharp angles and curves. I did a little research and this was the best and most affordable thing I could come up with. I usually thought of Dremels as dinky and very unmanly tools. Then again, I want to use it for a dinky and very unmanly use.

Manly or not, that dremel video just sold me.  I'm buying one, even though I have no use for it right now.  I have to cut 3/4 of an inch off the handle bars of my motorcycle today.  I was gonna use a hack saw, but now I'm guessing there may be something way fucking cooler to use.  Any suggestions?  Maybe I could rent something rediculous from Home Depot that has no business cutting a tiny piece of steel like handle bars.
