Who do you got?Just watched that Es edit and Thiago Lima's style feels very forced and fake. Anyone else think this? Maybe it's natural for him, but seems a little ridiculous to me.
I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me. You think you got me?
she can ride dick ham ham no joke ham
Shane Heyl’s exaggerated roll up carves and squatting prior to ledge tricks is so dumb.
Gotta be our guy J.Scott Handslow, yeah?He makes “chasing’ the dream” look like hard labor.
D3s and mongo? It's over.

I feel kind of bad saying it (seems like a very nice man), but Chris Pulman. Arm motions seemed to have become extremely exaggerated in old age. Unpardonable.

Maybe it's natural for him, but seems a little ridiculous to me.[close]Tangent, but my thought process when I saw the description on that video:1. Huh they spelled Tiago wrong.2. Wait Tiago isn't on éS.3. How the fuck is there a guy with that name who skates kind of similar but obviously not as good.4. Imagine trying to make it in skateboarding right now and your name is something like Grant Tailer/Ishod Whear.5. FuckBut yeah I agree.

Unpardonable.[close]Not the first time I’ve heard someone say thisAnd I will admit once I heard it and revisited his footage I could understand what people were talking aboutBut here’s the thing— Pullman is like 40+ years old, plus tall and lanky. He does what he can to keep his arms in check. People with long ass arms battle this and end up using their arms for balance, and hopefully they can massage the flailing into something somewhat graceful. Hell, even Dylan kinda did it with his “vampire” pose (see Kyle Beachy’s essay on the topic). Of course people accuse Dylan of having fake style as well, but I think when you can start to identify a whole little tendency among lanky skaters it stops being “fake” style and starts being something else. AO does it a little bit (less, but it’s still there), and I’m sure we can find others if we look as well.

If English he probably has to put in extra effort just to his body isnt florpazorpin all over the shop. Don't know what's in the water but no skater from England has ever had a body where the upper and lower work together.
