1. why? that shit aint funny, its just dumb. Theres no way you haven't already seen a million variations on that same picture all over the internet everyday for the past 5 years.

and 2. I really liked the last episode of curb where Larry David called out that annoying chick that played "Janice" from Friends for saying "L-O-L" outloud all the time.

so knock it off, you planking goon, or I'll put a hit on your head via the social assassin.

Different strokes for different folks.

I still respect you btw.

20 second preroll vids in front of 15 second clips

[idealhandmades]

15 seconds seems generous.

Crappy products with stacked teams
products that have next to nothing to do with skateboarding having a skate team
skate companies getting rid of their skate teams

Definitely some shitty industry trends right there.

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?

[finknoos]

people saying "that trick doesnt count"

when you wanna have a game of skate and the other person says "berrics rules?"

decks over 8, makes it harder to find a nice 7.75

[jerkface]

acitve, ccs, utility having the shoe in the size and colorway that i want when my local shop doesnt

hovering beanie in the middle of the summer is pretty annoying

kids skating $80 dunks

riders getting a soul song when obviously they would have skated to a rap song just because rap is out or doesn't match with the "feel" of the video

im pretty sure disgruntled pedestrian, security guard, cop intros got old even before i started watching videos

shitty tags at spots. way to keep the spot on the low and cop free.

"(so and so pro) thats my nigga right there!" said the white kid that met the pro once at a demo

[marginal way]

ignorance, apathy, and laziness are SOOO hot right now, and that sucks.

I don't really understand the hate on close footing or whatever you call it.

Yeah I realized I do it sometimes, didn't even know before I saw this thread.

i started watching street league. waste of time and boring as fuck. the skaters i want to see dont give a fuck and/or dont land shit. and the ones ive dont pretty much do all the exact same lines. BORING AS FUCK. whatever though get paid. only snowboarders and noobs and you watch that bull.

[Mr_Friendly]

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.
