how trendy skateboarding has become. i'm really tired of that.
unfortunately due to injuries and surgery i have kind of fallen out of the skate culture for the past 2 years so i want to hear other's opinions.
oh, and celebrities wearing supras. really pisses me off for some reason.

"close footing"
when dudes land a trick, then jump and land w/ their feet close together. or just ride around the spot/park w/ their feet close together. so dainty and fairyish and contrived. its a hipster-skater thing. wack.

I'm sure when people do a little jump after landing a trick is to change their foot positioning cause they landed in a uncomfortable position if that makes any sense.
I don't know what that other part is about.

no way, man. it's a trend. esp in brooklyn, amongst the hipster skaters. not coincidental, either. these dudes are conscious of it, hence the use of "contrived" in my previous post.

that tight chino thing (nothing at all wrong with tight chinos but the kids i see do this usually wear those pants) with the quick pushes and putting feet close together really is the fucking worst. skateordie really hit the nail on the head with that one. those kids usually are also trying to shoot on actual film cameras and never know what they are doing. actually they aren't even usually kids, usually like 19-23 and think they are god's gift to just about everything. i prefer the thugged out dudes, at least they aren't pretentious.

1.) 8mm effects and Folk music its used WAY too much...it's in just about every local video, but then again not everything can be happy medium.

I'm not sure if you're allowed to hate on that close-foot thing, it could be considered homophobic. I think it's an unconscious thing that homosexuals do when they skateboard. I knew someone who always did that and they turned out to be queer. I'm pretty sure it's just a little flair homosexuals add to their skateboarding, like the lisp when they talk. On the bright side, at least it makes it easy to pick out whose a fag

is this the first time the topic of "close-footing" has been brought up on slap? surprised if it is. unless you fellas have another name for it?

Cory Kennedy does that little jump and then put your feet close together thing all the time. I think most kids started doing it because he does it. Or did anyone do that shit before he did?

This is the first video that popped into my head when I think about the close-footers. While they aren't the biggest purveyor's of close-footingness, I think they sum-up the whole stereotype of a close-footer very well.

Also note that I was not looking up footage of homosexuals skateboarding when I found this video. I stumbled upon it on heroin's website and it was just scarred into my memory.

the close-foot regime was started by jason dill in order to corrupt the raw mindset of local new york skaters. jason dill as a transplant was never able to step to the rugged raw style of og new york heads. he realized he would never be raw enough to be considered an east coast power house like he had always hoped to be. instead, jason dill single handly decided to start the hipster trend and gay up all of new york. he decided to combat ghetto niggas in camo pants that he would legitimize upper-class white boys who enjoy sipping coffee and making art. dill's followers wanted desperately to follow in his footsteps but feared the backlash of beat downs from real niggas. you see what dill did not think to consider is that the great bobby puleo would release footage. all of the hipster nation saw how bobby puleo skated and wanted to mimic it, sadly they could not. their style had been tainted by fairy dust from hipster higher archy. they realized they could never be as raw as bobby puleo, so instead of trying to they simply did not acknowledge him and just stole his spots. dill was at first feared by the release of bobby puleo's footage but soon realized in due time no one would know who bobby puleo was, so dill too just bit his shit. back to the real nigga beat down shit, middle/upper-class white kids were soon venturing into ghetto sections of the city they would normally not be seen in, in order to match the raw aesthetic that bobby puleo(who they didn't even know existed) portrayed. as soon as they came to that crossing point of shady section of city to the hood, they realized they could not be prancing around in fairy costumes with cut off jeans and thigh high socks tucked in brand new pristine wife beaters. instead they turned to high-waters and button up shirts. with the hipster regime's new outfit they set out to conquer all of new york just as dill had planned he was slowly gaining acceptance in new york and even more pros were joining his alliance like dylan ryder, alex olson, and austin cookiecutter. the close foot action is sort of a "gang sign" if you will. it lets the other followers know they are up to par with the trends. it is a way they are able to communicate to each other and mate(homosexually as others have pointed out) within their own kind.

for another example, watch "Downey and Sakoff at Astoria" from the front page last monday. at 00:28 is a classic example of close-footing. he lands with his feet almost in position for the next trick, but for some reason puts them close together, only to have re-set up for the next trick??

Skaters with i phones or any mobile...

Im not sure what the whole close footed thing means at all. At first I thought it meant like putting your feet together when cruising or something. I watched the video and I still have no idea what it is.
The trend I hate though is the high khaki thing that is going on, beanies with the pom pom on top, beanies pushed so far back on people its defeats the purpose of the beanie.

Nah, these dudes will land a trick perfect bolts then jump into the air and reposition both feet in the dead center of their board and limp their wrists.

when you think about it, someone bombing a hill "close footing" like Dorothy, would be kind of awesome. you can't really powerslide or pop your nose up a bit for cracks or anything while doing that. quite the commitment.
Most of the shit that's been brought up in this thread so far are all still pretty recent trends.
I'm more tired of some older stuff.
Like homophobia (serious or not. even when used in joking terms I think its just really lame and disrespectful, and a sign of immaturity and someone who can't come up with a better way of explaining something. Its like when people swear a lot while talking, just because they have a limited vocabulary or think that it will always add more gravitas to what they're saying no matter how many times they [over]use it.)
Kids that are only focused on getting hooked up
Jocking
The clothes patrol and outfit police
Hypocrites (which we all are, or have been at some point, no matter what)
People that are oblivious to their hypocrisies
The overly sensitive, and the insensitive.
99% of rich people
People that beg for money
Socially inept weirdos that feel the need to revel too much information to strangers face to face
but if I have to keep it current,
I hate it when people "tag" other people in photos on facebook that those people aren't actually in. its the lamest cry for attention where clearly none is warranted.

That still wasn't the perfect example for close-feeting. He sort of slid his feet towards the center. I literally see dudes at the park after landing a trick do like a mini 2 inch high hippie jump close their feet together and reposition them in the center of the board. It may have stemmed from Dylan(all those guilty of doing it have been wanna be Dylan clones), but they take it to a different extreme.
And no people aren't riding around like apes, they're riding around like every skateboarder ever prior to the close-footing trend.
-
i live in brooklyn, and skate all over nyc. this close-foot shit is blatant in these parts. maybe not elsehwere, though i doubt it (dylan). if you're not aware of this epidemic, then either you're a self-denying close-footer, or you're hood hasn't been plagued by them yet.

and that goes for the rest of life too.
SLAP's very own Ahlee actually invented planking. He started a little tumblr called "thefacedown" which got put on reedit and went huge the first week. Then the god damn Australians went wild with it nuts with it and now we have planking.

what i do have a problem with are all the happy-sunshine-75%lifestyleshot-15%setup-10%trick with happy popmusic-edits
its smart to try and get some milage out of your clips but come one man, i really dont want to see someone stare at the sun ever other trick or fake laugh at a joke every edit. its like skateboarding has gone from throwing yourself off stairs to picking flowers in some utopian world.
this. since when did skateboarding become so gentrified?

This one might just be me, but kids at parks or spots showing up and trying the most ridiculous/ difficult thing they can think of usually with no chance of landing it. It just seams like I see it more and more, If you cant kickflip on flat, I doubt your fullcab-flip down a set of stairs is happening. If you can barely 50-50 a foot high box without landing all sketched out, you don't need to try to grind up a rail for an hour.

Never understood that one myself, do they think they will get lucky once and land it? It also leads to getting hurt more because you are trying something you are not way ready to be doing.

it's even creepier when it's older guys doing this. Like they use to be able to kickflip so instead of making sure you can still kickflip with any kind of control, they spend the whole time trying to kickflip into a trick or some shit.
side story, growing up there was a kid that use to come to the spot everyday for years and only try the same trick, nose wheelie, nollie flip out. however he couldn't do either trick. he was reeeeealy bad at skating. then one day after 3 yrs of only trying that trick over and over, he landed it. a month later he quit skating.

It's funny you bring that up, my first kickflip today as i was warming up went a little rocket, and the next one turned backside a bit, so I spent probably 15-20 minutes just dicking around trying slightly different things to get that, nice level flip with a high catch back. The shit foot pushing kids hucking 360 flips that ended up 3 feet away couldn't fathom why anyone would redo anything they had already landed.

agreed. Nike SB gets sooo much unnecessary hate. they make some of the best shoes for every style, have a sick team, & host a ton of great skating events. people forget that Nike SB is a DIVISION of Nike Footwear. Meaning its a skateboarding company, under the Nike Banner. Just like they do with other the other sports. the guys who work for Nike Soccer arent the same ones working for Nike SB, and so on.
Millions of people around the world are skateboarding. its gonna get "mainstream" no matter what. as long as the relationship "mainstream" company & skateboarders is win/win then im cool with it.
people will hate on shit just because it isnt directly skateboarding. Like gaterade. wtf? like none of these niggas never drank gaterade after a long, hot session. if they wanna pay malto millions to put their sticker on his boards, so be it.
another example would be target sponsoring P-Rod. for some reason he lost "street cred" because of it, when he gets paid millions & gets free gift cards. he literally could live off that sponsorship alone. plus target & mountain dew remodeled his private park, which is sick as fuck. thats a win/win situation. they get the exposure/advertising while the pro gets a ton of perks including an insanely dope skatepark. if you hate on that then your just a hater. ANYBODY would take that deal if they actually got the chance.

still takes too long when you just wanna get out there. what with drive times, inevitably someone will forget their board/shoes/hasn't eaten yet/has to just do this one thing first but i'll be there asap/needs to get gas/doesn't feel up to skate what you want to skate that day/not answer their phone/etc etc etc

I've been rocking both old striped tube socks and cut offs for longer than tyler the creator has been prevalent. To call (and mock) this style as "the tyler" just makes you sound even more like the herb you are.

I dislike the two ends of the spectrum:
There are those who will do every single little thing in their power to imitate their skate idols, which is kinda creepy.
And there are those who just wail on trends all day everyday, which begs the question, what ISN'T trendy?
(I guess if you dressed like Pauly D...hahah)
Either way, trends are inevitable. Shouldn't let them run your life whether you like them or hate em.

speaking of Sir D, the park that was 5 minutes from my house before i moved across town, had this one local kid that used to gel his hair up EXACTLY like Pauly D. He couldn't have been older than 16, and was only like 5'3 (maybe another 5" with the hair though), but it was fucking hilarious seeing him show up to the park with that blown back dragonballZ action hair. Frosted tips too!

The most prevalent reason why people bitch about "trends" (some of these things just always 'have been'. Just because you became aware of it recently does not mean it is a new trend. That "the tyler" comment is a good example. High socks are just high socks) is to show that they we're doing it first.

I dig the whole skating alone thing, mainly because I have zero choice being that I am both 31 and live in a rural as fuck area, but I also like it because if I want to try and learn a trick and spend 45 minutes doing the same thing over and over on the same ledge there is no one there to bitch. As for clothing- it's whatever. To me wearing Dickies isn't a trend, wearing them like you're prepping for a flood is, but so the fuck what if some little dude copies Rieder at the park, what's most important is that the little dude is out there skateboarding. Does that shit really effect you? That's like people bitching about the little kid covered head to toe in pads struggling his little ass up the pyramid. Just be psyched the dude is out there, give him a high five, make his fucking day. The amount of fucking hometown hero assholes at parks is way to prevalent. You're nowhere near as fucking cool as you think you are, you're more kooked up than the little guy with way to big helmet getting in everyone's way. At least he's having fun.
For serious, fuck those guys.

I dig the whole skating alone thing, mainly because I have zero choice being that I am both 31 and live in a rural as fuck area, but I also like it because if I want to try and learn a trick and spend 45 minutes doing the same thing over and over on the same ledge there is no one there to bitch.

it's always dudes who aren't that good at skateboarding, too. they'll have their handfull of tricks they have on lock, and do them over and over and over, and then get pissed when some kid who's actually trying gets in the way of their 1,365,867th shitty back smith.

Well, let's see.
I wear button ups. Usually with a bowtie or a regular tie sometimes, if not all the time.
I think shake junt is ill as shit.
I skate by myself. None of my friends do it but it's fun so fuck it.
I think hip hop and skating are perfect for each other. I just watched Brain Wash and I couldn't stand most of soundtrack. I was going nuts when I saw Beasley's NATWV part though.
Aaaaaand I skate in vulcanized Nike sb blazers. So hey. Neg Rep me.

Only two very general things:
1) Blatant imitating
2) trying to hard (trying too hard to make your style look good / trying too hard to dress as nice as possible when you're just going to get sweaty anyways).

Dont know if this is a trend or not but I cant fucking show up to a park in a Morbid Angel shirt and baggy pants without every fucking emo kid there wanting to talk to me about their fucking shitty music.

damn i had a whole tyrade on the beanie issue and how being back east you wore it to keep your ears warm, then it dawned on me that all these kids i see wearing a beanie in southern california are EXACTLY like the morons that wear ug boots. From now on when I see someone with one on in 90 degree weather I'm gonna be sure he realizes that comparrison.

front foot flips. it just always strikes me as a stupid flatground trick to win games of skate, i just can't take them seriously. all of p-rod's ffflip enders in his iTunes video made my dick soft.
is it just me though? is anyone out there watching a video and is like "holy shit that front foot flip looks so cool".
Front foot flips are hard, I dont know whats wrong with you but Prod's front foot flips in and out of grinds, plus down 12 stairs are very impressive and amazing to watch.

this is so true, I just wish I had though of it first. Kids who can do shitty 360 flips and nollie heels yet hang up and slam on a rock to fakie on a 3 ft quarter, so stupid

15 years ago when i was broke and couldnt afford some half cab i used to skate cheap superstar, gazelle etc.
Now they called themself "Skateboarding", made a "team", the same shoes cost twice, and all the kids are buying.

I've never seen it to that extreme, I doubt that anyone can 3 flip and not be able to rock fakie. But I will admit that most kids can barely backside 50 a qp, but they have a sick flatground game; But skateparks being crowded as they are nowadays I dont blame them for not skating ramps that much.

Not that I couldn't but I would definitely feel a lot more comfortable doing a tre flip than doing a 5050 on a quarter pipe. And I'm no kid - I've just spent a lot more time tre flipping than skating quarter pipes.
Most kids I know today are at least passable at tranny, since all they skate is parks - it's inevitable that at some point they'll learn to roll around the bowls and do basic shit.

i know that sounded like a list, but it can all be traced back to the posh skateboarding movement.
i blame the editing in transworld videos.

This one might just be me, but kids at parks or spots showing up and trying the most ridiculous/ difficult thing they can think of usually with no chance of landing it. It just seams like I see it more and more, If you cant kickflip on flat, I doubt your fullcab-flip down a set of stairs is happening. If you can barely 50-50 a foot high box without landing all sketched out, you don't need to try to grind up a rail for an hour.
Never understood that one myself, do they think they will get lucky once and land it? It also leads to getting hurt more because you are trying something you are not way ready to be doing.
My guess is that they're doing it to try to make it seem like they don't suck to the onlookers.

I don't like the "ABD" attitude. Like you're somehow not allowed to do a trick at a certain spot or it's somehow less cool or difficult. That's just as much a jock thing to say or do as anything else. Doing something first is always cool, but it doesn't make doing something second or later lame and that is sometimes the attitude I see.

While I definitely don't back this attitude I can certainly understand it. There comes a point when I'm at the park and literally 90% of the kids skating are under the age of 17, usually younger. Not only that, but they're shredding waaaaaayyyyy harder than me. So I can see where the frustration and discontent might come from, but to me that's just part of skateboarding. Kids are getting better at a way earlier age these days.

The money. It is inevitable. The money goes where the mass of people want it to go. And the mass of people are always wrong , always. Individuals don't strive , they survive on the outskirts. Hustling product , working part time jobs and suffering honestly for their love. The companies today are the most generic shit imaginable. And the ones that stand out as original only do because the others are such shit. All in all it is better to just ignore the profit margin monster called the skateboard industry.

Both of em got pretty tore up from the fall, and the kid on the bike looked like he wanted to beat the shit out of him. I guess it's one thing if you're skating by yourself or something, but if you're in fucking traffic you've got to pay attention.

Last time I was at a skatepark , about 40 % of the ppl there were kids on scooters , and there were parents everywhere . Seems like skateparks are just daycare or family fun day . Drop the kids off and do what ever you want , or drop them there and spend time with the other parents .
Its getting to be like soccer or hockey practice or something . Skate parks are also full of kids who cant skate or hold their balance , or do the smallest ollie . Why not stay on a regular street infront of house and learn how to push , keep your balance and learn ollies ?
Just sucks when you go to the park , all the parents are there . some kids running around playing or sitting in places you want to skate , then you got ppl who cant skate in the way , or ppl on scooters , and then you still have to wait your turn among the ppl who actually know how to skate .
Maybe Im just being a bitch ?

Just out of curiosity- do a lot of you ONLY skate parks? Parks are a convenience but not necessary. If you hate the park so much, then leave.
I admit too being a park shark, but that's the case when you work a 1-9 shift almost everyday and the only thing lighted properly is the park. If I am off from work, I try to go find people to street skate with, but it's hard with everyone's schedule conflicting with your own.

Just out of curiosity- do a lot of you ONLY skate parks?? Parks are a convenience but not necessary.? If you hate the park so much, then leave.
Don't you live in Dallas? I wish I lived somewhere that had that many options. Soon....
It kinda depends where I live Hate . If im back in my home city on vacation , I know all parks and all spots . But when Im working alot and only have maybe 1 day off a week , I dont really want the hassle of getting kicked out or botherd by ppl . I just want to skate , skate a spot with nice ground , perfect ledges , perfect many pads and transition .
Moving to a city which has perfect spot out in the city so I wont skate any parks at all .

I mostly skate parks, mainly because I live in a small town with a great skatepark without a lot of street spots. I just found two new spots that I'm going to try and skate, though.

I do wanna reiterate that I am not against skateparks at all, but the amount of bitching about them just made me wonder why people skate them so much if they hate them so much. I like skating both and yeah, kids and park moms are annoying, but maybe I have less of an issue with them because I am older. I will say that I've smacked one of those little 12 year old wannabe hardasses for breaking glass bottles all over a park and I've also told a mother off for getting on my case about plowing her kid over. I didn't do it intentionally and I made sure he was ok, but she just kept pushing it and saying that I "assaulted" her kid.
for fucks sake, if kids dont know skatepark etiquete thats one thing, but do their parents not see the danger?
Only a few days ago i was about to do a flippity trick off a block, at the last second i saw a kid in my way, had to kick the board away and jump OVER him, same thing happned 5 minutes later but i jumped to the side. thats when i went and told this kids mom that she should look at what hes doing not for my sake but for his, if i wasnt looking up when i was, its very likley hed be in hospital now.

Sounds intentional to me.

my tech with those kids is to haul ass at them, then just before impact, scoop them up under my arm and run it out. then you gently set them down, and say something like, "whoa little buddy. that almost hurt both of us. maybe you should be a little more careful." it puts the fear of god in them, and nobody has to get hurt.

Unrelated to tired trends, but this has to do with the park where the kid was breaking bottles and it's kind of a funny story...
That park was in Little Rock, AR and it was more or less just a couple ramps and rails in an alley, downtown. Anyways, it was right by this plant where they made animal feed, so there was always this grainy smell in the air. It got really bad in the summer because it was just gross to breathe that smell in constantly- plus Arkansas summers are hot as fuck.
Anyway, one July there was this little dude skating and he was getting a little green and kept talking about how bad it smelled. He was standing on the deck of one of the quarters and just started puking all over. There were two other little dudes up there and both of them started puking at the sight of their homie's barf fest. Then one of them started crying and when he tried to climb down from the ramp he slipped in the puke. God it was so horrible and wonderful at the same time.

If you knock the kid over it's just assault, but what you're talking about is kidnapping and child molestation.

i get the general idea of this close footing thing but isn't that how most people ride when they aren't setting up for a trick?
like bombing a hill, or cruising around, for example? i'd say its more like feet on the bolts, or back foot on the tail, and front foot on the front bolts. who bombs hills clicking their heels like dorothy?
Nah, these dudes will land a trick perfect bolts then jump into the air and reposition both feet in the dead center of their board and limp their wrists.
wow this is what you choose to talk shit on people are getting pretty particular over skateboarding if you ask me

whenever a skater has any altercation no matter how small, with security, police or the general public, they have to put it in there skate vid.

Last time I was at a skatepark , about 40 % of the ppl there were kids on scooters , and there were parents everywhere . Seems like skateparks are just daycare or family fun day . Drop the kids off and do what ever you want , or drop them there and spend time with the other parents .
Its getting to be like soccer or hockey practice or something . Skate parks are also full of kids who cant skate or hold their balance , or do the smallest ollie . Why not stay on a regular street infront of house and learn how to push , keep your balance and learn ollies ?
Just sucks when you go to the park , all the parents are there . some kids running around playing or sitting in places you want to skate , then you got ppl who cant skate in the way , or ppl on scooters , and then you still have to wait your turn among the ppl who actually know how to skate .
Maybe Im just being a bitch ?
Nah I see it too, Monty - it's the truth. You've got the kids pushing mongo and listening to iPods, while the parents don't give a fuck 7 and 8 years old are scooting around the deep end in the pool (8 foot plummet...). There isn't a lot of respect for progression anymore - everyone just wants to be Chad Ortiz out of the box. It's funny - I see people talk about how they didn't skate transition for the first 6 years of boarding on the forum - neither did I! The most transition I saw was rolling off the curb at rite aid - and I had to wax that shitty curb, hah! Kids today have California Skateparks building awesome parks all over NY now, so it's changed things. Sometimes the park does seem like a playpen though - but what can you do - that's progress ya know? I'm grateful for the parks - but I'm just dead inside from all the trends and bullshit - I just wanna skate hard after rotting in my cube all day and get a good sweat on. That's really it. I'm just used to the Rep Tape and superficial shit because we're never going to escape it at this point. Then you see Ludacrooks quit Label...Different times for sure.

man, that's both funny and sad because I could totally see some poor skater going to court for something not too far from that.
i saw a psycho mom call the cops after a friend of mine collided with a kid at a park back home in the midwest about 6 years ago. it ended up being hilarious when the cop was actually logical and told the mom that she might want to tell her kids to be more careful, since the skatepark is obviously a crowded and dangerous environment for a young kid not paying attention.
it was like being in bizzarro world.

Totaly agree . Ive always said that about snowboarding , instead of doing a 900 , why not just do a really slow huge bs 180 or 360.
And now its come up in skateboarding too . While it is really sick to do flips to slides and then do flips out again . Id rather just see a really long bs tail , kf bs tail or even a sick long fs noseslide .
Its like too much of a good thing makes it worse then the simple stuff . Keep it simple and stylish stupid !

Totally, sometimes I'll watch old snowboarding vids, and I just see the long, drawn out back 180s in grainy film, and those look so much better than dizziness-inducing 1260s

from a marketing standpoint that shit is gold, though....of course it helps when the act is talented in at least one of the fields.
Two cultures (most) parents hate for their precious little kiddies to be involved in, but kids love to consume...especially due to parental pressure.
The new counter-culture, if you will.
(also you don't need to go to school to be successful in either)
For what it's worth, hip-hop does go with skating (WU TANG), in the true DIY sense. Both have been diluted with cash, and the realness has been lost.

Stupid editing programs, iPods/iPhones, Cameras. It always seems like it's some APPLE product.
One of my favorite parts of skating is actually HEARING it - the squeaks and ::ERRRR:: noise - nothing beats it!

I've heard it before on here, experienced it in life and MAN is it true. Kids need to stop filming at the skatepark and acting like they deserve preferential treatment. Its like they are "training" at the gym. No one cares about your front tail kf out little jimmy. I don't blame them personally, it is just depressing seeing something so great get shat on so hard. In time, hopefully they get it. If not, at least they bought a bunch of stuff.
Likewise, its so great meeting little kids that "get it" and really enjoy skateboarding.
Fashion is such a huge part of skating now (at least in LA) its borderline ridiculous. I went to some "boutique" shops, and that experience alone makes me want to never step foot on fairfax ever again.

well hello there, I'm one of those kids that get it doesn't give a fuck about what gets filmed and skates because it's what he loves (no seriously, I am)

i dont really have a problem with kids filming at the park unless, like you said they feel they need special treatment because they are filming. the act of filming at a skatepark is no big deal i mean what are they filming for? they're youtube video part? no ones going to see it. let them have their fun as long as they aren't dicks about it ya know?
hell i know i'm guilty of park filming when i was younger. even worse self park filming. I've come a long way hahahaha

this probably doesn't count as a trend, but i hate it when someone who doesn't have too much skill on the board (or doesn't skate at all) wants to fit in the with the good kids, so he buys a camera and uses that as his ticket to get in good with the group of good skaters, pretty much buying his way in. He wouldn't fit in otherwise and you know they probably wouldnt even be hangin out with him if it wasnt for the camera, but since he has a fancy camera and all the kids nowadays just looooove to film every little thing and put it on youtube, they except their new filmer "friend". It's just annoying to see kids like this trying to fit in by buying their way in, but its all good because within a few months they'll find someone else with a better, fancier camera and tell their old filmer "friend" to fuck off, and the cycle repeats itself.

Like i said, it's just annoying to see someone trying to buy their way into fitting in. If a group of skaters who were better than me didn't want to hang out with me because i wasnt as good as them, that's not a group of people i would want to associate with anyways. I'd tell em to fuck off and go find other people to skate with. But there are those people who INSIST on still trying to find a way to fit in with a group like that anyways just because they're good and they want to fit in with what they perceive as the "in crowd", and these tend to be the kids that i described in my other post earlier, the kids who try to buy their way in by playing the "filmer" role.
-
HAHA. Yeah I see that..
Yea never got the idea of playing dress up to go skate. I've fucked up all my clothes from sweat and dirt stains skating. Every time i do laundry I just see how more and more stains are in my clothes from skating (along with coffee and hot sauce stains, hah...)
But more or less - these are the kids I see skate for 15 minutes, break a sweat, then sit on their ass for a half hour. Never understood that...when I have the time to skate I just wanna go all out. Plus, it's the best exercise - especially on a mini ramp. Fuck P90X - go pump a steep mini ramp for an hour a day...

Theres this little chubby kid just like this, cant skate for shit but since he has a camera, all the kids want to hang out with him and film. The dude is really annoying and not a pleasure to be around.
-
Filming at parks it better than fake filming at parks, or anywhere for that matter. I seriously saw some kids not long ago with this C shaped camera mount/handle thing, with no fucking camera attached to it, but they still followed each other around holding it. I didn't think it got weirder than the kids who follow and pretend they're holding a camera but they managed to do it.
However, if you're going to film at a park do so at your own risk and it's not an excuse to break etiquette. Holding a camera isn't a free pass to sit on the pyramid for 15 minutes.

Rollin eyes.

Maybe not necessarily a trend, but temper tantrums. I understand getting frustrated if you're having trouble landing something, but starting to yell and throw your board and kick stuff is not going to make you fucking land it. It's a huge problem at these two skateparks I go to, and it's almost always kids from like 12-16. This one kid a few months ago couldn't have been older than 14, and kept screaming and throwing his board all over the place because he couldn't stick a treflip on a bank. One of the times he threw the board, it hit me in the shin, so I carried it over to him and told him to chill out, and he started trying to fight me. Stupidest shit ever. I made it my goal to snake him the rest of the day.

That wasnt even that bad at least he looked comfortable on a board, he probably started skating prior to lil wayne so it's alright.
Did anybody notice that Pharrell was in that video?
Now this right here is the real problem with rappers starting to skate.

Maybe not necessarily a trend, but temper tantrums. I understand getting frustrated if you're having trouble landing something, but starting to yell and throw your board and kick stuff is not going to make you fucking land it. It's a huge problem at these two skateparks I go to, and it's almost always kids from like 12-16. This one kid a few months ago couldn't have been older than 14, and kept screaming and throwing his board all over the place because he couldn't stick a treflip on a bank. One of the times he threw the board, it hit me in the shin, so I carried it over to him and told him to chill out, and he started trying to fight me. Stupidest shit ever. I made it my goal to snake him the rest of the day.
I fucking hate kids like this. and i hope you snaked him a good couple times.

Jesus Christ! What the fuck is wrong with these park kids?! I usually quietly talk to myself. Nothing more than a, "C'mon, really?" That is fucking regular. Put that fool in time out, if he wants to be such a baby. Tell him he can have his board back if he apologizes to everyone (and he has to mean it!) or else the board goes away for a week.
Hahaha! Shit, that's a great idea. Yeah, I don't understand the rage fits either. I usually just laugh it off when I fuck up, it happens way too much to stress about it. Hopefully one day these goons'll figure it out, who knows.

similar thing happned to my friend two weeks ago, kid got rage and threw his board, bounced off a ledge and hit my friend in the knee. only my friend wasnt as nice as you, he picked up the kids board waited for the kid to walk over them threw the board as far as he could into some bushes. the kid was about to go on a rage fit at my friend, so my friend cut him off and said calmly "sssssh, stop bieng a dick and have fun"
also half an hour later i saw him about to rage after missing a heelflip down a 3set first try (so what) then he looked over at my friend, looked embarrised and sat down. kids need to learn its about having fun

Get your facts straight, DC started out as a skate shoe company and ONLY a skate shoe company so really, they're not trying to take over skateboarding. If you're going to say that about any company, say it about Nike

People still do that weird shit? I never see that anymore. I can't remember the last time I saw someone freak out about skateboarding. The only trend I want to see die is when kids fall they just lay there for a solid few minutes like taking a nap or something.

So I'll be at 3rd Lair and I go the giant fucking rollin (RIP) some other kid is leaves 3 seconds after me going towards the rollin as well. We hit the rollin at the same time and we nearly hit each other, while I say "sorry" the other kid is like, "dude what the hell? get out of the way!" Some people need to learn proper skate etiquette.

A few days ago, this happened to a little shit of a kid at my local park. He fell on a boardslide, then proceeded to roll around and whine before he actually took a 30 minute nap right at the end of the rail. It was quite bizarre.

To be kind of fair it was their glory days, they don't have anything else to compare it to since they couldn't experience the real great times that have passed. For me the glory days of punk rock was the late 80's-early 90's, but surely that would sound stupid to someone who was around in 77.
Ok, I tried to be nice but while writing that I realized how stupid (or sad) it is that 2003 could be nostalgic for anybody.

Pretty much. To someone my age, it's no more ridiculous than reminiscing about how much better things were in February of this year. "Man, late February - those were the days! Everything was so much fresher back then. These November kids don't know what they were missing."
-
People glorifying the 90's. The only reason it was probably great to you is because it was a time when you had less responsibility, you could skate with your friends everyday all day and it was when you were just discovering skateboarding.

you dont understand what these kids are like.
wow yeah they are dope my first skateboard was one of those plastic cruisers, back when I wasnt even into skating
yeh they are actually really radd, I live in Melbourne and work in a skate store that sells em, I know what its like, but i also know how fun it is riding them around and doing little tres or inward heels. make the simple tricks feel awesome and quriky. that being said i still wouldnt buy one. But i do try and sell them over longboards

It has been hard to find interesting footwear in today's market ever since the slip-on vans styled shoe has become the norm.

I agree. I think the vulc trend is finally dying a very, very slow death. P Rod, Chris Cole, Muska, and Dyrdek all have cupsole pro models that came out recently. I am aware that some of these guys are kooks, but my point is the tide is shifting.

I think any generation has their "glory" days. That statement can even go into other cultures also. You might see the 90s as the the good ol days and the guys older than you can call the 80s the good ol days? You see where i'm getting at? If the slap boards were around the 90s, you would see those pool sharks complaining how much they hate your big big pants, little wheels, and your stupid flip tricks.

There are plenty of cupsoles, but the influence of the skate-slipper is affecting their design.

all these fools who be ragging on ppl for following trends but these are the same niggas who have tight rolled up pants (which they claim aren't tight) with the tall black or colorful socks or they look all anti-hero'd out. idc about ppl being into fashion, but don't be a hypocrite.
Well, when Anti-Hero stops being fucking gnarly, I'll stop spending all my money on their shit. Fuck the hate, ride the 1-8
by all means buy their product yo, im just tired of dudes with vans, tall white socks, rolled up navy blue dickies, a flannel or w/e, a fucking windbreaker or w/e its called, and a mesh trucker hat; and then that dude kooks ppl for being a fashionista
The man has a valid point. The punk rock/redneck skater look is just as much a look as any other.

im not saying its not the "in" look. im just going to state my personald in it, decisionlthough i rarely rock the too tall sock look because i cant stand trying to skate in shorts. plus im from the south, i get the trucker hat pass.

i feel like the whole flannel thing has died down. it was really big around 09. My little brother took all my old flannels cuz he wants to look grunge. So maybe they are going to be cool with the little kids again.

faggotry is faggotry. Not that I think standing like that is gay, but if he does, it doesn't matter if it's heath or some kid at a skatepark. I do think people just naturally stand on skateboards that way. Every person I've seen try to ride a board that doesn't skate, stands almost exactly like that.

Dogs. Love them, but bringing them to a spot or skatepark unleashed and uncontrolled (which more and more people seem to do these days in my area) can get annoying when they run up on your trick and try to chomp the board.

Alright here we go:
Those designer 5-panels, and bucket hats with floral print or some flashy shit that cost more than say $30. It's a hat, meant to keep the sun away.
Rolling up your skinny pants even though they're already to short, why would you expose your ankles more and look like the kid who's mom wouldn't buy him fitting pants?
Also weed socks, they're socks...
Pretty much any sort of "designer skate apparel" that doesn't really serve a purpose worth the money you pay. I always got the impression skating was grimy and dirty, so there's no point dressing too fancy.

Oh shit I forgot about that to, not a fan of the cruisers trend in general. I get so bored since you can't do certain tricks properly or as comfortably. If I wanted to just "cruise" I'd get some soft wheels.

Some kids here don't even do the 90, they just pop, land on the front truck and pivot whole 180 degrees and be super serious, like they did a proper 180. What the fuck. I admit, I also pivot 180's, but I think it's fun to do them like that. Also, only works when you're going slow.

if you actually skate and you have a cruiser its all good. Its a quicker and smoother ride so there's no problem there. The problem is you have these kids that have never skated before and they are all cruising slowly and incredibly fucking awkwardly all over the place. They look dumb. I guess the only hope is they enjoy it, figure out their shit and move onto a real board. I'm guessing a lot won't.

I went home a month or two ago, it's in a super hilly neighborhood in new york. My homie lives up the hill from me, on a really windy road with zero visibility, you'd only know if a car is coming the other way once it's like 10-20 feet away. When I was home, I was picking my friend up at his house, I noticed a bunch of powerslide marks on the street, then saw a bunch of high school kids long boarding fly past me as i was parked. I remember thinking about how stupid of a hill that is to repeatedly bomb down, it's only a matter of time till one of these kids gets run over.
My mom called me a couple weeks ago, tells me I should always be careful on my skateboard because a highschooler got hit by a car and got wedged underneath. The kid's okay save for some broken bones i think, but I fucking called it.

The ''creative'' skating with powerslides and ollies. I love that type of skating, but only when it's mixed with some real talent f.ex. Madars Apse
People hating on tricks that look bad, when the only reason they look bad is because only the weirdo kooks try to do them while the rest are too afraid of getting hated on.
Camo hats, shirts, pants etc.

Pretty much any sort of "designer skate apparel" that doesn't really serve a purpose worth the money you pay. I always got the impression skating was grimy and dirty, so there's no point dressing too fancy.
Weed socks and five panels oh my lord they're inhabiting every damn skatepark and street spot I go to. And then when kids come in the shop asking for the weed socks and we tell them we don't carry them they look so disappointed and we're like "Why? They're fucking socks." Fp insoles however need to be a trend

Add spots to that as well. There's a ton of spots here on the east coast we're not welcome to anymore simply because other skaters never cleaned up their shit

Skaters are a bit too careless in that regard. It's embarassing seeing all these potsmoking douchebags throw their juiceboxes and cigarettes everywhere. It gives skaters a bad rap
Could you imagine a baseball player throwing his gatorade cup on the field.. err bad example but you get it..

Maybe mentioned this already but skating in sunglasses. It's so unnatural/contrived and anyone who does it looks like a kook.

The hate this guy gets is absurd. Yeah going fast and big really sucks. See him skate in person and you'll change your mind, guaranteed.

Switch 360 flip lips to fakie on handrails. Yeah, they're obviously really hard, but it's been five years. I think that's enough time for people to start taking them back to switch.

Not if you live somewhere like Hawaii and you value your eyesight. I don't want no fucking cataracts. I wear a hat and sunblock too since I'm out in the full sun for a couple of hours almost daily.

All this instagram/iphone gayness. Do you have to spend every waking minute posting some shite or checking out photos of people's burgers?
Like at Tampa Pro, Grant Taylor is dropping in for his run and joey brezinski and 'Steezus Christ' are just sitting staring at their phones

I'm pretty sure nobody does it because it's cool, it's because it's natural.

Thanks for reminding me about how my Australian cunts referred to sunglasses. Sunnys just sound right.

-Picnic tables:
Rodney and Daewon fried my brain a decade ago and it's never recovered. Also, excluding California schoolyard kids, I think it's not very accessible to the rest of us geographically. I can count on no hands the number I've seen at actual schools that I've attended or visited. I know it's more relatable than something like the megaramp, but I feel like skateboarding needs a new benchmark.

I look forward to when skateboarding isn't popular anymore and core people who just skate have it all to themselves

i reckon dill started it. although, he isn't as dainty as the rest of the nyc fairies when he does it.
the close-foot regime was started by jason dill in order to corrupt the raw mindset of local new york skaters. jason dill as a transplant was never able to step to the rugged raw style of og new york heads. he realized he would never be raw enough to be considered an east coast power house like he had always hoped to be. instead, jason dill single handly decided to start the hipster trend and gay up all of new york. he decided to combat ghetto niggas in camo pants that he would legitimize upper-class white boys who enjoy sipping coffee and making art. dill's followers wanted desperately to follow in his footsteps but feared the backlash of beat downs from real niggas. you see what dill did not think to consider is that the great bobby puleo would release footage. all of the hipster nation saw how bobby puleo skated and wanted to mimic it, sadly they could not. their style had been tainted by fairy dust from hipster higher archy. they realized they could never be as raw as bobby puleo, so instead of trying to they simply did not acknowledge him and just stole his spots. dill was at first feared by the release of bobby puleo's footage but soon realized in due time no one would know who bobby puleo was, so dill too just bit his shit. back to the real nigga beat down shit, middle/upper-class white kids were soon venturing into ghetto sections of the city they would normally not be seen in, in order to match the raw aesthetic that bobby puleo(who they didn't even know existed) portrayed. as soon as they came to that crossing point of shady section of city to the hood, they realized they could not be prancing around in fairy costumes with cut off jeans and thigh high socks tucked in brand new pristine wife beaters. instead they turned to high-waters and button up shirts. with the hipster regime's new outfit they set out to conquer all of new york just as dill had planned he was slowly gaining acceptance in new york and even more pros were joining his alliance like dylan ryder, alex olson, and austin cookiecutter. the close foot action is sort of a "gang sign" if you will. it lets the other followers know they are up to par with the trends. it is a way they are able to communicate to each other and mate(homosexually as others have pointed out) within their own kind.
Cool Story Bro
do we have our first close-footer chiming in?
haha i wouldnt consider myself a "closed-footed faggot" as most of you put it, and I do shot film photography (but I know what I'm doing). What makes me mad is when people act like everything they dont like or dont do, is automatically "fucking stupid" and "regular". As for the 'Close-footed' thing, I personally think it looks better than some dude with his legs spread 4 apart, it kinda looks awkward to me.

can some fool give KOOL THA MIKE an example of this close footed shit, i having trouble picturing it is it other speak for the rolled up jeans?

Kids that think doing the biggest shit = good style. Idiocy at its finest.
