Theres alot of dudes who go back and forth from Seattle to SF, lot of transplants both ways.
The seattle dudes roll with Awaysted and Western world ,
dont know them personally that well but they were mostly chill, some have that real jocky take over vibe.
The SF scene has changed alot, it feels like skating overall has. In general it feels like a jockier aggressive terriritorial socal surfer has emerged on top and undermines having fun and integrity of skating just for the hell of it
In SF it feels like two kind of sides. Theres the small scene of older cats 35+, some industry heads other just responsible mellow dudes and they run alot of events and get things going behind the scenes, theyve always been there from the DLX, lowcard, thrasher associates. Then theres the younger crowd thats exploded over the years, seems like GX1000 inspired a great migration and scene in SF. I cant really tell it seems like most our from out of town, they carry themselves pretty confidently and I have no idea how they live or pay rent here. The GX crew itself act like the popular jocks and are pretty much bullies except for Greene and a couple others who are chill only one on one, super wack to run into them at a bar , they really took over and created a culture within skating here thats super macho, dickhead aggressive dont give a fuck about anything, even worse than the old AH crust dudes Duffel talks abouts. They killed the values a cool scene of community oriented people that Karl and Thiebaud had sort of organically grown, including Oakland youth and now Unity is sort of bringing that back in a new way. Theres subsections in between the hesher and the fresh, Create is the pioneer of the younger scene since SOMA opened which became our LES and out of that grew the MaxAllure crowd. Most are locals from the bay area, except for that Jordin dude always stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Hes a strange little socialite dude who rode that OF wave and tried to get that hype going for a skate team. They used to be a bigger crew w Nico and those cats but theyve splintered off depending who was able to get legit sponsors.
I dont doubt for a second Jordin is a creeper, hes a rich kid whos dad funded the whole project to become a hot streetwear commodity and they're part of the tech minded gentrifier capitalist assholes that killed SF
