I know Appleyards one of slaps golden boys but outside of skating he's a total alt right conspiracy nut job and I'm bummed I'm going to have to listen to that turd. Also pissed I'm going to have to look at KM's crappy "art" the entire time. Is Schaefer an alt right kook too and these guys are his buddies or something?
Before I get ripped for ripping apples the dude claimed the pandemic was orchestrated, and was encouraging people to check out David Icke because he had some things to say more people needed to know about. If you don't know who that is he's a retired athlete that believes the world is run by lizard people (specifically Jewish lizards, the guy really hates Jews) , 5g is making us sick, chem trails, it's the Jews fault that the Holocaust happened and he's also said the Holocaust didn't happen (can't even keep his lies straight). So yeah, fuck Appleyard, and fuck KM.

You are profoundly full of donkey shit. Recommending a conspiracy theorist doesn’t mean you believe and endorse every single position they hold on every topic. People like you are pure toxicity. Back your claims or fuck off with your guilt by association fallacy.

I agree MA's views are dogshit
But that doesn't interfere with his insight or commentary on Skateboarding
Who cares what the guy MC'ing Tampa thinks about vaccines

So sick to see Tyrone Olson and Rob Allen out there. I’m never complaining about being too old to skate again.

Ron Allen! Missed seeing the Ron Allen old man run last year. literally brings a smile to my face every year.

What point is that? You made a point but I never said he couldn't commentate, just said my preference was to never here his dumb voice again. Your point is unrelated.
People like David Icke are "pure toxicity" not I, and their views don't need to have any more attention than they already have. I don't have to "back my claims" because it's public knowledge. Look the guy up.
Look, I'll do a tiny bit of work because this one made me laugh:

So yeah if you back that shithead then I can't back you, espically being Jewish (non-praticing or not). If you are encouraging people to check him out then you are totally part of the huge misinformation problem the world is fighting right now. Those ideas are what's toxic.

Not my anthem bra, that's merman's shit.
I only felt the need to include that digression about MA because of how he's gotten such a pass on this board compared to similarly problematic skaters who get roasted here. Just always wondered why MA gets a pass on here. Figured no one here knew who David Icke was, seems about right.

If Appleyard believes a bunch of conspiracy shit and then says “check out this conspiracy guy” it’s not a mystery what Appleyard is doing. We’re not obligated to give Appleyard the benefit of the doubt and assume he wants us to check out Ickes ideas that aren’t crazy or terrible , if they even exist.

My wife's commentary so far:
Announcer: "Sponsored by Krux..."
Wife: "Haha Crocs."
On Gabriel Fortunato: "He kind of looks like a black Ryan Sheckler."
On Jordan Maxham's cheese sponsor: "Is it a big cheese company or a local brand?"

I'll most likely be popping in to check out the action, but the combo of Maskookvich's art blended with Cumorama banners everywhere is bound to leave a bad taste in my eyeballs.
I suppose that, even at my age, I'm still not "mature" enough to separate the visual environs from their associations in my thinking parts.

Tyson Peterson's old school kick flip (or was that a rail flip?) on transition was just insane. Probably an nbd just because no one ever thought to try.

the thing with "paintings" like this is, nobody tells him it looks like shit. it not even close to be considered as art. it looks like a 10 years old kid with special needs did this. I hate it, when some pros try to be "artists" but have zero talent or skill, but are too damm lazy to get a 9to5 job.
I bet almost everyone went to neckface and was like: "Duuude, this is so siiiiiiiick", "wtf, so special" ... "yeah dog, this is some art right here". No, it is not.

Is this rail dancing really the new fucking thing now? Everyone was trying some awful combo in the best trick
Also what's Cody Cepeda doing there lol? Trying a nollie hardflip nose manny in best trick

i’m not hearing anyone’s art criticism if they don’t go to a museum at least twice a year
it’s like criticizing skating without even reading thrasher or something

you know what’s funny about everything you just said? art is very subjective. to him it’s art. to me it’s art. and whether you think so or not, at the end of the day, it’s still art. its his art. it’s quite like skating. you may think your tricks are good or are fun to do, but i could see you do them and say “goddamn that was worse than awful how could you even have fun doing something so stupid?” but then again whose opinions on what you do matters? or what i do, or what anyone does? is it the best art? not to me because i’ve seen better. but to those who haven’t seen better, that’s the best art they’ve ever seen
-
I'm clearly in the minority here, and maybe I'm using the word generously, but I like Marovich's art. He's also been fucking ripping lately.

Only care about the best trick. Here's a few of my thoughts.
First, I still think Shane is a top 5 of most talented skaters every but damn does he choke in contests lol.
Second, few the tricks I really wanted.
The nollie heel back nose blunt (was that TJ Rogers trying it?), Alec's kickflip gap to back nose blunt, and Dane's 180 switch crook to back lip.
And last, I keep laughing at the number of times Carlos Ribeiro dropped in, and right before he popped, heard another person pop right behind him where he can't see and thus doesn't try in order to avoid an injury/a collision lol.

Shane didn't choke. He literally landed 4 really hard tricks during the contest. Bigspin back tail back spin out on the rail, switch kickflip f/s 5050 on the rail (first try), switch kickflip fs crook on the rail, and switch flip the pyramid to flat. The problem was that there were a ton of tricks landed.

OH shit you're right! I forgot about the kickflip 5050 and they didn't even show the switch flip crook.
Also, was the switch flip bank to bank or to flat? If it was to flat thats massive to be going switch at!

Foy’s trick had to be considered so high because it’s an NBD, correct? I’ve never seen that (even though that doesn’t mean much) but I’m guessing that’s why. Especially done to that caliber.
-
Jack Olson got robbed. I claim home court advantage for Foy. Florida man. Any advice from a pro skater / likely high school drop out, outside of trick tips is lunacy. I like KM art. I thought it looked cool. Cariuma sucks. Cody Capeda should have stayed the off the course. DILo or whatever did FS Flip fakie manual , fakie flip out. That was boss. Cookie had some rad stuff going down. As did Andy Anderson. Weird stuff but I have come to appreciate him.
All the Rubiero’s other than Carlos are hard to watch.

Jack didn’t get robbed because Jack did a ton of tricks and variations of tricks we’ve seen him do in video parts before. I’ll move to the unpopular opinion thread if needed.

If you don't know who that is he's a retired athlete that believes the world is run by lizard people (specifically Jewish lizards, the guy really hates Jews) , 5g is making us sick, chem trails, it's the Jews fault that the Holocaust happened and he's also said the Holocaust didn't happen (can't even keep his lies straight).

You’re not obligated to do anything but you would certainly want someone to do their homework before they accuse you of believing all these horrible things. Simply suggesting a conspiracy nut is far from conclusive evidence. But hey let’s go ahead and recklessly character assassinate. Don’t let me interrupt.
-
I know a lot of people who believe conspiracies. Many of them are good people. I don’t like Apples because of his political, spiritual, or medical point of views. I like him because he landed tricks and would often do a wanker type post celebration. Rad style. All his pre-flip footy was the goods.

People like you ruin it for the people who really deserve criticism because you dilute the pool with false accusations. Does Appleyard take detailed notes on every wild claim made by Icky. Hell fucking no he doesn’t. He’s not an obsessive shit stirrer like you. He’s too damn busy popping nollie flips into all kinds of dope shit. Think about it.

Wish someone had told Cody capeda/paul hart to go sit it out and get outta the way
Shane o neill also did plenty of good shit in best trick
Contests these days make me sad as no one really does flip tricks anymore, maybe they’re considered too risky as even the top dogs seemed to be missing them/avoiding flips…too many grinds
-
Best trick looked kinda like an early 2000s snowboard rail jam with all the combos.
Whoever the moron was that was going .5 mph trying manual tricks while dudes were gapping pyramid to down rail should rethink his whole life.
Felipe Gustavo tried that switch flip back tail 80 fucking times and half the time he didn’t even get the board up to the rail… if he did get onto it he would wax the shit out of it like the rail was the problem.
Appleyard did the wildest damn 360 flip ever in photosynthesis and has been fucking shit up for like 25 years… I don’t really care what his opinions are until he goes way off the fucking deep end.
Some of you are way too concerned about people’s personal opinions instead of caring about the thing that brought us all here in the first place… FUCKING SKATEBOARDING. We aren’t politicians and most of us aren’t role models, we’re e a bunch of fucking morons that still play with a child’s toy in parking lots.

I opened an account for the excitement in this thread. Don’t ruin it with your reasonable point of views. And yes it was fs blunt to bs noselide ( definitely not nose blunt)
Gustavo didn’t seem to be coming close but then knocked it out.

Forgot how fucking good Jack Olson is, could have easily won best trick. damn Real is stacked. Joslin's backside flip and backside bigger flip to flat were insane. Decenzo's gap Tre to noseblunt was beast; best trick delivered.
Man &&'s really starting to come of as just one of the guys, congrats.
Fuck where's jah though, where's Ishod?
I saw on insta he was in an apartment or hotel room, like high enough up and he crooksed the railing of his apartment
I like to think he blew the weekend off to take drugs
He posted on his insta story about how mercury being in retrogrenade caused all parking lots in LA to be full so he couldn’t catch his flight. He instead headed over to ASU to party at the rise with the richest kids on campus (aka take drugs). I have partied in the rise before and those rails on the balcony are not skate able really at all, dudes out of his fucking mind for grinding one 50 stories up. Especially with mercury being fucked and all

Agreed that Netsuke got robbed, as did Rabelo. I enjoyed watching their skating more than the top 3 lol. Never even watched any of them before this Tampa pro. Netsuke was doing heel gap back lip on the pyramid + perfect front crook variations & Rabelo was doin crazy alley oop shit.

I stopped watching street league in like 2013, didn’t even watch any of the Olympics yet. Tampa is the only acceptable contest to watch lol.
Also I feel like this tampa pro had limited participants. A big portion of the industry wasn’t even in the contest. Maybe travel restrictions or some shit.

Sure that explains the big reaction for Foy, but everyone, including the announcers were dead silent for Mickey Papa.
It was very funny.

Haven't been watching the contest, but reading the real time commentary on this thread has been hilarious.
Someone should compile the streams, cell phone clips, etc and create a "SLAP highlight reel" of the REAL best portions of the contest. Would be pretty laborious, but editing all of that footy into a 3-4 min video would be sick.

Here’s the thing, doing this with any other pro there that people don’t find to be corny as fuck and it wouldn’t be a big deal, and that pro would probably laugh it off. I do agree though that in this context the guy seemed to be looking for a negative reaction, but how cariuma-crew responded probably made it worse for themselves lol. Instead of taking the high road they get ultra defensive as is tradition for the Scientologists.

This run felt neutered. Ishod's golden ticket run from 2013 is perhaps my favorite usage of skill at a contest. Fast, loose, unapologetically spontaneous. Shane reminds me of a guy who is too good with a tech deck, utterly soulless

Just finished watching...
Netsuke, Decenzo and Rebelo got robbed.
Pappa, Olsen, Axel Crusher also got robbed.
Jagger 'forever 3rd''s hands, good fucking god man.
Cepeda should just hang it up.
Joslin getting fatter.
Fucking cookie, hot damn.
Dashawn is sooo good!
Robert Neal lol try harder next time and I mean skating, not fashion.
Sorry judges (and foy) they're fucking noseslides if they are level, I don't give a fuck if they are up and over. You don't see any confusion over tails vs blunts do you?
Unpopular opinion: Too much rail dancing and not enough blasting (kudos to people gaping to the rails tho)...at least Sorgente tried...and there were a few wall rides...
I though Hoff was going to get it tbh.
Netsuke should have been top three. While his runs were re-runs (Jack, Axel, Felipe, Joslin and 90% of everyone else) looking at you, too), just like Jagger 'hands' Eatonwtf with a few tricks mixing it up, his skill was lightyears ahead and they both had a few bails; his second run was fucking amazeballs (unless I'm thinking of the semis).
Markovich's art was drab.
They should really re-think the course as far as what's around the pole section, so many people had issues next to the wall.
Shane's run was great for SLS.
Booze'n'titz still has the best non-contest skater in a contest setting run.

No way, it's 100% a step back. There should be a rule that you can't win, or even get to finals if you don't do a couple of tricks on the quarters. Shane's use (or lack thereof) of the quarters was criminal. What did he think this was, the P-Rod invitational? It's time for that kind of skating to stop being rewarded in contests. I mean shit, even Ninejah can handle some shit on transition these days.

There was commentary about a scoring section that was for utilizing / hitting the whole park. Shane skated it like his backyard and his trick scores outweighed the bails and the lack of tranny. Tech as fuck tho.
Didn’t he have one run that was a flat out disaster?

Only care about the best trick. Here's a few of my thoughts.
First, I still think Shane is a top 5 of most talented skaters every but damn does he choke in contests lol.
Second, few the tricks I really wanted.
The nollie heel back nose blunt (was that TJ Rogers trying it?), Alec's kickflip gap to back nose blunt, and Dane's 180 switch crook to back lip.
And last, I keep laughing at the number of times Carlos Ribeiro dropped in, and right before he popped, heard another person pop right behind him where he can't see and thus doesn't try in order to avoid an injury/a collision lol.
LOL. Never mind. I'll take the L.
-
Never cared about Berra before he was just another old pro that happened to have a corny over waxed park. But after seeing him come after a kid less than half his age fuck that dude to whatever weird hell those Scientologist fucks believe in. I can’t believe people are butthurt about this poster shit.
Remember that time Paul pierce got stabbed and Nieratko went to the Nets game with a poster that said “would someone please stab Paul pierce” and he was in like the 3rd row? Fuck how many NFL games have people dressed like fucking morons with all sorts of stupid posters. I’m not sure what’s going on with skateboarding but clearly it isn’t as badass and cool as it used to be.

A step forward or a step back?
theyre 2 different things. busenitz's run is flat out, barely holding on, but in the best way possible. whereas shane's run is so well executed, it's almost less exciting because of it, but when you look closer at it it's fucking wild
No way, it's 100% a step back. There should be a rule that you can't win, or even get to finals if you don't do a couple of tricks on the quarters. Shane's use (or lack thereof) of the quarters was criminal. What did he think this was, the P-Rod invitational? It's time for that kind of skating to stop being rewarded in contests. I mean shit, even Ninejah can handle some shit on transition these days.
There was commentary about a scoring section that was for utilizing / hitting the whole park. Shane skated it like his backyard and his trick scores outweighed the bails and the lack of tranny. Tech as fuck tho.
Didn’t he have one run that was a flat out disaster?
Yeah I think he did. It's not uncommon for him to mess up then just give up on a run
Ordinarily id agree with the don't get off your board and run idea but the parks are setup so differently between busentiz and Shane's.
The time Shane gets off he wants to go from one side to the complete opposite side of the park. Even if he somehow blasted a massive air or did a long grind it would just of put him in the middle dead section of the park.
The 2010 park was designed for more S type lines whereas most people in 2021 were going more like a U or a G. (Hopefully that makes sense)

Tampa used to have an incentive for people to not step off their board and to do fluid lines instead of single tricks. That‘s why Luan won it a couple of times and they picked Busenits over Gustavo (?) that year. They should definitely deduct points for getting stepping off the board. I mean it is kind of an intentional bail…
And they should deduct points for not doing anything on tranny.
I liked Axels runs and Jake Ilardis skating.
Still as far as difficulty goes the tricks have definitely evolved. The Japanese kid was on some next level shit. He‘s got good style too.

Wow, that Berra freakout is insane. The Cariuma kooks really outkooked themselves this time trying to act hard
-
Can't wait for the Cariuma infiltration accounts to get in here and say the best way to stick it to Berra is to buy some shoes that plant a tree for each pair purchased so that there is enough paper to keep making signs.

Kinda weird father/son vibes coming from Mike V and that blonde Cariuma kid.

AMEN!
thank you for the direct comparison of both runs.
First impression after watching Shane was: ok - technical super good- but boring to watch.
Being technical that good but not able to create a proper run - without stepping of the board and touching the ground multiple times is incomprehensible to me.
I know he is able to to do a kickflip to fakie or some frontside ollie in a quarter. Woud change the vibe of the run completely.
Put the shame on Dyrdek and Street league - with the concept of single trick > runs.
-
Just watched. The overall level was nuts, there were like 10 runs that could have been the winning one.
All things considered, I was happy Shane won because he managed to stem the swelling Cariuma shittide. Someone had to do it.
Would have hoped for Dairi to win but he'll probably get it in the future, that was some of the best skating I've seen at a contest and there seems to be no limit to what he can do. The casual tricks at the end of his runs were nuts. Does he skate street?
Rabelo had incredible runs, not sure why he didn't make the podium.
Finally, every single time I see Jagger Eaton I wonder: how can you be so good and so completely shitty at the same time? The guy's a redbull-fuelled koan.

It's not the tricks you do, it's how you do 'em.
Busenitz and Kremer epitomize that.

Tampa being one of the most well known skate contests, why don't more companies try and help out? Throw some fucking banners up and add some cash towards the prizes. It's a shame that every year it seems like there's less and less. The walls were littered with Cariuma and Monster, with some additional NHS brands sprinkled in.

Never cared about Berra before he was just another old pro that happened to have a corny over waxed park. But after seeing him come after a kid less than half his age fuck that dude to whatever weird hell those Scientologist fucks believe in. I can’t believe people are butthurt about this poster shit.
Remember that time Paul pierce got stabbed and Nieratko went to the Nets game with a poster that said “would someone please stab Paul pierce” and he was in like the 3rd row? Fuck how many NFL games have people dressed like fucking morons with all sorts of stupid posters. I’m not sure what’s going on with skateboarding but clearly it isn’t as badass and cool as it used to be.

Anyone know how much each place got? I think they said someone got like three grand for fourth place. I assume most people payed way more than that just to get there.
I think sls used to pay five grand just for pros to show up.

Shane's rad, but he is clearly lacking the tranny skills of DB. He has to kind of stop and start as opposed to pedal to the medal...still, the difficulty of his flip in flip pit made up for it...his styles not bad either, like a next gen kalis
-
Huh.. with that context I'm kinda with Berra on this one. Dude seems like he was just trying to be an asshole for attention. 🤷🏻♂️
You must not remember the video where Borra went around the Borrics having each person say nasty things about some Canadian kid that won a competition in which the prize was a book but he never received the book and requested it in a separate video so Borra put him on blast and then burnt the book on camera just to flex.
If someone can find that video that would be great

They've been using the same barge rail on the main box at Tampa for all of Jamie Foy's life.

Tampa is always a lot of fun. After last year's event with Evan Smith covered in paint and Manch interfering in runs, this year's crowd seemed pretty subdued.
By far the best part of the Tampa live stream is that the crowd is right there on the course, so you can see who is just chilling and other weirdos in the mix. Aside from the Berra-Jagger poster fiasco (which is an all time highlight), here are a few observations:
Joslin looking all out of shape and depressed in the background all day in qualifiers. Obviously his skating was still top notch, though:

Most disgusting beardo (and there were a lot of options) goes to this guy:

Just so happens there’s some eager, new hot steppers from Brazil/Xenu that are very excited about any opportunity to be taken seriously by skaters, and are happy to open the CoS coffers to achieve that result.

I didn’t read the whole thread so maybe someone already did, but is no one gonna comment on Borra’s pants? They look like kids sweats from the 80s and he just cut off the elastic cuff at the bottom.
Steve's sponced by Mamapants. Big mama division.
-
Also very jealous that @pizzafliptofakie got to witness the Dennis run irl.
This and the SawCon reply...

That course was seriously the most boring Tampa Pro course I can remember. The back smiths over the flat bar were so tedious. Everyone did them in their run and I don’t know why one of them didn’t stop to think “hey, the last 10 dudes all did back smith, maybe I’ll do a crook or feeble or something different as I cross the course.” It basically became an axle stall of a contest trick. Everyone did it, and it was mostly just a means of getting back to the other side while still doing a trick. Which leads us back to how boring the course was. Most difficult tricks on that section were all going one way, very little incentive or reason to skate it the other way.
They need to go back to the courses like the one Busenitz won on. It kinda felt like the olympics where most skaters identified one area to score from and that’s where most of the shit went down. Yawn.
I get the idea behind the no live scoring, but it kind of made it boring to watch. When you don’t know who’s in the lead, how are we as the viewer (and the skaters) supposed to know how to rate each run. You kind of need the benchmarks. Again, I get it though. Good try, but maybe not a success
-
props to everyone who was involved in the removing of the stickers ... thanks!
-
Also very jealous that @pizzafliptofakie got to witness the Dennis run irl.
I got their relatively early that day to secure a good spot and to watch the warm ups, and even early in the morning Dennis was absolutely ripping the park. All day he was so consistent and precise, yet spontaneous and of course, very fucking fast.
The room was absolutely electric after his winning run too. Kind of an indescribable vibe. Felt like the whole contest was decided in unison at that moment.

Also the that borra reaction and the challenge the secret tape made, will be the highlight for sure.

If I got a quid for every time Borra's called someone mean since Tampa Pro started I'd be able to take his Mum out for a seafood dinner and never call her again

i felt like the course allowed for more tricks to be landed. not saying that made it more exciting, I just felt like for once everyone was able to actually put together a run of all landed tricks. usually only like 2 or 3 people seem to manage to be able to do that.
i felt like the whole not revealing the scoring didnt really add anything
-
That photo is funny!!! Those cariuma guys are literally the worst. Imagine haslam or spanky getting mad at that type of photo about them???
I feel like 15 years ago, if someone did that everyone would’ve laughed u wouldn’t be kicked out and lectured by Steve berra. If I see anyone wearing cariuma I’m going to assume you’re incapable of thinking for yourself and are brainwashed by social media
-
Tampa feels more Berrics than Copenhagen at this point. Incredible skating no doubt. But no longer fomo inducing the way it used to be and Dime/Copenhagen still is.
-
Imagine thinking you can be rude to a company. Borra is so bitchmade. I hope he fucking pops in here to scold us like he did in the skatemama thread
Also @pizzafliptofakie i can't even what the vibe would be like in that room. Wish i could have been there or for vovs gold medal run where hawk, sal and Miller all collectively blew a load through their jeans in the booth
-
Also love how in that Instagram post steve straight patriotizes the kid with “jagger Eaton is an Olympic medalist” like that’s an actual accomplishment for skateboarding or like the Olympics actually evolved or changed skating in some drastic way.
If I had a time machine I would go back to say Tampa 1999 and show everyone this years Tampa and explain the direction their lives would go just to see julien strangers face

why the fuck did Kairi Netsuke place only seventh? kid fucking killed it.
Agreed that Netsuke got robbed, as did Rabelo. I enjoyed watching their skating more than the top 3 lol. Never even watched any of them before this Tampa pro. Netsuke was doing heel gap back lip on the pyramid + perfect front crook variations & Rabelo was doin crazy alley oop shit.
Completely agree about Netsuke. Can't remember seeing such an obvious robbery at Tampa Pro. Pretty sad. Should've at least gotten second place. All respect to Kelvin, but his cookie cutter run was equal parts boring and predictable, and certainly not as difficult or packed as Netsuke's best run.

Never should have axed the Moat Race.
I was there for the BoozenTitz run, as well, but had the misfortune of watching on a screen in the courtyard. The noise from inside was deafening. Classic case of choosing free beer over witnessing history.

The clip that keeps on giving. Berra straight up grovels for a lil smooch, doesn't get it and is immediately compromised to the eternal friendzone

I'm sorry guys I think my tone got lost in internet translation. I would fucking love if SPOT was still looking like that all tagged up with Skate brands. I long for the days of core brands having the stronghold on the skate industry again. But that's just me stuck in nostalgia, I understand things change but it's always sad to see what was and what can still be.

Young person from Japan going to win
lol this aged well

Listening to spot announcers during “skategoats” run also confirms that’ll I’ll never buy the “stanceless” schtick even if Rodney mullen supports it.
“Backwards flip down the stairs”
“Skates tranny goofy and street regular”
This is how dis information works and everyone is confused watching him.
He also seems super cocky about it like “yay I’m changing skating I’m the Micheal Jordan” and then kicks his board at the end of his run during semi finals. The micro aggressions don’t go un noticed, Steve Berra dumped gas on u spot lit the fire Cariuma= Ben shapiro
Skategoat= can’t put out a progressive part, can’t win a contest

John dilo frontside flip fakie manny fakie flip out was insane and should’ve won best trick imo.

Yeah, exactly. Imagine someone had brought a poster of one of the Nyjah's butt memes if Nyjah was competing, does anyone think that Borra would have chased out the guy holding that up? "nYjAh iS aN oLyMpiAn" smh.
Cariumboes are a plague. The ultimate irony is Borra isn't even wearing one of their terrible t-shirts.

I tried to convince them to do a milk-crate challenge OVER the moat for this year. Just build a small plywood platform that went over it, stack them up and get 5 "competitors" to give it a shot for a prize pack if they make it. Losers all get destroyed into the moat and maybe a small case of Hep C to go with it. Everyone wins though.

So according Berra everyone should be proud for jagger Eaton winning an Olympic medal.
I don't think that being proud works like this if you haven't accomplished it by yourself.

Listening to spot announcers during “skategoats” run also confirms that’ll I’ll never buy the “stanceless” schtick even if Rodney mullen supports it.
“Backwards flip down the stairs”
“Skates tranny goofy and street regular”
This is how dis information works and everyone is confused watching him.
He also seems super cocky about it like “yay I’m changing skating I’m the Micheal Jordan” and then kicks his board at the end of his run during semi finals. The micro aggressions don’t go un noticed, Steve Berra dumped gas on u spot lit the fire Cariuma= Ben shapiro
Skategoat= can’t put out a progressive part, can’t win a contest
Skategoat actually does skate transition primarily goofy-footed tho.

Tampa being one of the most well known skate contests, why don't more companies try and help out? Throw some fucking banners up and add some cash towards the prizes. It's a shame that every year it seems like there's less and less. The walls were littered with Cariuma and Monster, with some additional NHS brands sprinkled in.
You want the walls to look like this again? Then we as skateboarders collectively need to support core brands again. We all let the big sports brands in, the only way to change it is put your money where your mouth is and spend it on core brands again. As long as the money/ad revenue keeps pouring in on them the more they'll be sticking around.

I do much prefer this to last weekend and agree with your sentiment. Love that there's Slap, Thrasher, and Big Brother stickers all on the same wall too.
Joslin's definitely got a high level of neanderthal DNA but I appreciate his caveman approach to contests; find the biggest thing to gap and fuck it up. I really can't imagine launching any trick that far, especially something backside and it's pretty insane how consistent he's gotten with that stuff. Axel's runs were fun too, good break from all the (albeit amazing) tech shit going on. Feel like every run Decenzo had Sunday started huge but halfway through just fell apart entirely, bummer.
I get the people saying it's not quite the same but I still love Tampa pro. I love Copenhagen and the dime events too but Tampa's great because you can always expect the skating to be on a ridiculous level; the partying's still there but it doesn't entirely bleed into the comp as much as with Copenhagen (except when manchild shows up). The level of the skating in the semi's/finals this year was incredible. It's pretty cool that Tampa pro kinda grew to it's prominence naturally, in an unsuspecting area of the country too; makes it unique.

How does he do the loop “primarily” footed tho? Or bomb a hill for blocks in sf… or a 900??? Oh wait those are tricks that we can add to the long list of shit he hasn’t done.
I’m not totally hating on the guy he’s talented for sure his frontside Ollie’s on transitions look unique but you’re telling me when he FIRST started skating he was doing everything equally??
I don’t follow the berrics but when did the “stanceless” claim start for him?
Was he on deathwish like, “hey Erik look I can do every trick in every possible stance equally!!!” And then they didn’t put him on fast enough so he went to Steve Berra and had all these companies made up to rush him into the fast lane for pro???
My curiosity has reached too far now I wanna know the guys back story fuck

Of goat boy I'd say that to me he looks like he probably started transition skating a good bit after street skating. Wacky hypothesis incoming:
On transition I can imagine someone intentionally learning rolling up switch and rolling down regular first because it's less scary then trying to learn rolling back out fakie. He could of just stuck with that and now is using it as a gimmick.

I dont see how people think this? Netsuke didn't get robbed, he just didn't do as hard of tricks. I was bored on my lunch so I went through all 3 runs of each and wrote down some stats... Basically, Shane did more tricks in his run (before time), most of his were switch/nollie, and most involved a flip into/out of grinds, and he didn't fall. Kairi had a great run, but fell once and only did 1 trick nollie (no switch). He did 3 more amazing tricks way after time, and while thats cool, they don't count. Again, Kairi didn't get robbed.
I marked when they did something on the coping, and when they stepped off their board to just drop back in at the same spot or relocated to a different area of the park. The exception to that rule being stepping off on the big roll in to setup and roll back on.

Can we get a side-to-side breakdown of Busenitz's run vs. Shane's?
Would be cool to get all of the winning runs over the years broken down like that and be able to see changes in trick selection, judging criteria, etc over time.
If you were a smart sponsored skater, you could use that info to help craft your runs at various contests.
Hmmmm

A step forward or a step back?
theyre 2 different things. busenitz's run is flat out, barely holding on, but in the best way possible. whereas shane's run is so well executed, it's almost less exciting because of it, but when you look closer at it it's fucking wild
I think part of it is here is that Shane and a lot of other comp regs for that part too seem to rely on a lot of the same tricks for every comp that comes around as they know better than most what tricks will score well, after a while some of those tricks lose their wow factor despite how ridiculously difficult they may be.

Busenitz stepped off his board the same amount of times in his run that Shane and Netsuke did. They all did it once in their runs. Busenitz's run was awesome because of the flow, speed, and power of his tricks. He also packed in about twice as many tricks in his run.

Just a few takeaways from Tampa Pro 2021:
POSITIVES
+ Tampa Pro did not miss a year because of the pandemic! The 2020 edition happened right before lockdown in March 2020. That year, X Games and SLS had to be cancelled. Now they came back for 2021 without a hitch.
+ Judging was on point. Would have like to see Felipe win it if he just hadn't stepped off his board, or Kairi Netsuke for that matter. At the end of the day, the guys on top had flawless runs.
+ Really insane skateboarding all weekend. Jamie Foy and Jack Olson in best trick, bowl session, and final runs with stuff you otherwise only see in videos. Shane doing back-to-back 360 flip and switch 360 flip over the kicker was a nice flex (if you can name the pro who did this a few years ago, extra trivia points. Hint: He's a SOTY).
NEGATIVES
- Not enough international skaters due to border restrictions. Most 'international' skaters already live in the US like Axel and the Brazilians
- No live scoring was not a good change. It's always been part of the excitement to see who's in first and who can take it all on their final run.
- Pro skater commentary can be great, just look at Rowley and Hawk. But when it's all just responding to what is in front of you at face value with no context or perspective, why even bother? "Sick backside tailslide, bro!" Does that add anything?

John dilo frontside flip fakie manny fakie flip out was insane and should’ve won best trick imo.
Facts. Not even being in the top 5 is insane, although I recognize the caliber of skating in that session was nuts. Not sure who I'd boot to put Dilo in but that's a fucking nuts manual trick to put down in a high-pressure situation like that. Saw him trying to get into it for a while and then was fucking shocked when he finally did and pulled the fakie flip out of nowhere. His nollie over the rail to nose manny across the pyramid nollie flip out into the bank during his run was also extremely sick. Genuinely believe he should be a SOTY contender this year

Yeah he brought up and promoted David Icke (anti-Semitic nutjob who's mind-rot ideas predate qanon. He's become a HUGE influencer of the qanoners and seems to be a source of a lot of their ideas, i.e. lizard people) a couple times in an interview last year. Also said the pandemic was a "plan-demic", shortly after that wack-ass viral vid.
Sorry to bring all that back up. Of course I'm a fan of his skating and am not wishing him, KM or anyone else who's found themselves working with bad info ill-will, just hope they find the facts eventually.

Thats solid run right there. Is unreal how consistent Luan is, saw him in a contest in Berlin a few years ago and is mindblowing. But still Busenitz's have something that make his run unique and impoble to beat, maybe the fast push, the fact that he is a GOAT, IDK. Was pretty impressed that day, I think that Busenitz win was the las time I saw Tampa pro Live.

He’s mastering the frustrated suburban dad look for sure. Loving that “I drive a 3 series with the seats pushed all the way up and carry my keys around in my hand all day cause I can’t grow facial hair” energy the slumped shoulder middle finger gives off. Now he’s gotta show up to Billy’s soccer game to support the team cause the wife has a migraine and THIS HAPPENS

How is Berra not wearing a Cariuma T shirt? I mean everybody wears one but not him? Is he too important to wear one? Same with his shoes, he wears some blackout ones? Does he feel too much shame to wear Cariuma?
If he wants to push Cariuma he should wear it all over.

theyre 2 different things. busenitz's run is flat out, barely holding on, but in the best way possible. whereas shane's run is so well executed, it's almost less exciting because of it, but when you look closer at it it's fucking wild
Came here to complain but it feels like everything I would have said is already perfectly explained above - was legit disappointed watching only the highlights
Looked like one of those ugly runs you do in THPS where you're just trying to hit a specific score so you mash directional buttons and the flip trick + grab buttons

If Neil blender spray painting a face mid contest run still doesn’t make sense to you, you’re probably Steve Berra

Exactly. This says it all
-
Real question here… Has our great hero, Steve, ever been known to stand up for, or come to the defense of any skaters that WERE NOT affiliated with the Borrics family of brands?
He’s painting himself out to be a protector of skateboarders, but I gotta ask in all seriousness: he ever do that for anybody that wasn’t “in house?”

I remember reading about early 2000s Tampa contests in magazines and it sounded like all out drunken face punching debauchery followed by strip clubs in ybor city
Now we have grown men becoming emotional and getting people kicked out for “creating an unsafe space.” When I attend Tampa with my boy scout troop of misfit coriumvo riders, you better greet me with a big warm hug and only say nice things

Jack not winning the best trick is unbelievable and ridiculous.

Busenitz’s run was twice as fast, had only one brief board dismount, and had difficult lip tricks linking things together.
It’s crazy how boring people can make legitimately gnarly skating look these days.

I love busentiz run but I think the actual design of the park has a lot to do with how things have changed. Most the obstacles in busentiz are like the smallest ledge in the modern Tampa park. Also the parks setup in a way where you can hit things constantly in a row. If busentiz skated the 2021 Tampa he would probably only do about the same amount of tricks as everyone else because of the dead section in the middle.

What’s the go with contests? I remember reading in tws in early 00’s rob dyrdek was saying the sponsors paid out whatever you got in contest winnings, so like if you took a g home from a contest and you had six sponsors you’d get 7 grand off everyone
Surely it doesn’t work like this anymore
Does anybody know?

I fuck with Shane hard but I am pretty much over crooks nollie flips
Edit
Someone said ages ago that contest skating is eventually gonna go the gymnastics route
I mean none of us would know the names but all those flips and shit they all got diff names
I uh, watch ladies gymnastics sometimes, they’re all fit as ay
Anyway, like they all know what flips are worth what points it’s full just numbers
Kind of shitty, no?

I think it really depends on who you are and what sponsors you have. Pretty sure there were some very nice years for nyjah when contest wins were like 250g and he was getting matched by element, monster and DC/Nike. Also winning like 8 of the things a year for about 11 years.
I don't even know how much x games, sls, dew tour pay anymore pretty sure it's way way down now.

Its definitely likes this already with some skaters at contests. Always the same tricks, runs, etc.
The Olympic games was definitely full of trained routines with high scoring but safe tricks like all those 270s to slides done the rail.
I like Shane but prefer watching his parts than mechanical contest runs.

would differ from contract to contract, i imagine most pros get paid just to show up and the more screen time you get the better especailly when it comes to energy drink stuff (i imagine board sponsors are not clocking screen time down to the second like the energy drink guys are though)

If he wants to push Cariuma he should wear it all over.
My inclination is that Berra knows on some level that at this point, his personal affiliation with Cariuma as an individual only serves as a disservice to the brand. Some of his behavior argues that he does not know this, of course lol but I think that's because he can't control himself and is also an idiot. but when it comes to picking out the fit for the day, I would imagine it was intentional. He knows that he's garnered quite a bit of hatred in the skateboarding community and that his value to a brand like Cariuma comes from his ability to influence entities like his own outlet (The Berrics) or whatever other stuff he has a hand in, and that he offers basically no value if not negative value from his own personal brand as "Steve Berra the pro skateboarder/individual".

It's literally a back and forth park set up that way. I'm no fan of berri-umas either, but this doesn't make sense.
Edit: I think the only people that skated it with any flow were Eli Williams and Chris Colburn.
