In Shoes&Gear, there's the "questions that don't deserve their own thread"-thread and I think that would be nice here as well.
But actually I want to ask this question: Has anybody ever gotten in trouble/sued because of their actions in skatevideos? There's decades of video evidence for all kinds of bullshit online with the skaters names attached to it. I guess it's still unlikely for the wrong people to see it, but after all this time it might have happened?

Yes listen to the Kris brown ep of the bunt
-
Bruh, a quick question is like
"Hey man, do you like Gatorade?"
Yes/no answers
-
Muska/éS had to pay hefty compensation for grinding a hubba in front of some fancy ass building for an éS ad. Like 50.000$ or what was it.
-
Wonder about the getting sued all the time especially when they do follow up videos explaining how they broke the fence, took off stoppers etc outright say the location of the spot. You'd think somewhere regularly skated like Hollywood high or something would just start going after everyone if they really wanted people to stop skating there.

All it takes are some popular skaters to start wearing shit like this or for a brand like Supreme to drop something similar for it to become "cool". Just look at how those neon colored camo pants blew up a few years ago.

Garrett Hill’s pants would probably have been a huge hit w/ SLAP users of today if only they had been slightly tweaked.
For starters, both legs should’ve been the same color.
Next they should not have been so tight; in fact, they should’ve been very baggy.
Finally, they prolly ought to have been branded as something reflecting their contemporary-come-retro look: something to the effect of Nordic “Loose Lads.”
Aaand… Voila, there you have it! Garret Hill’s career would still be alive & well (provided the coffee mishap had ALSO never happened) & we would still be wearing those pants in this very day & age.
All of the woulda/shoulda/couldas.

Is anyone else confused by the whole nollie b/s and f/s shove-it nomenclature? I know it's skate names and not a big deal, just weird to me.
I always thought that nollie f/s shoves are the same as switch f/s shoves, just going nollie...but apparently that's not the case. Ah who cares.

The reason it makes sense to me is that calling the Cody Mc trick a nollie fs bigspin would not seem right, and having that be a nollie back bigspin but a nollie front shove in the same direction would be weird.
I know the logic is thrown out the window with nollie hardflips/inward heels/360 flips but I think those make sense as well.
Anyways for a question, have there been any pro skaters that were pro for another thing? I think cardiel was a pro snowboarder for a minute, and Jed Anderson kinda counts, but if there’s others I’d be intrigued.

Uh, does this come up all the time? Also, what does “compare everything to normal stance” mean?
Ok quick as I can. You do a regular frontside 180/ front shove. If you pop of the nose and turn the same way it's still frontside. Switch is the mirror image of regular stance. Fakie is regular stance but going in reverse, so you do the exact same body movement and altho you turn blind it's still frontside.
Basically don't compare nollie to switch

Were the z boys pro surfers? Bucky lasek pro race car driver. Jason Lee pro actor.

Shaun White was pro for both skating and snowboarding.
and yeah, I understand the nollie shuv logic, but I just hate it cuz the inward heel/hardflip argument seems like a much simpler reference point.

Carabeth Burnside was also a pro snowboarder

Yeah, that's what I mean...just adds to the overall confusion. Your Cody Mac point makes sense as well, though. I thought the backside body motion overrode the way the board was moving, but that might not be the case after all.

I dunno, but I do honestly appreciate your explanation and the time. I mean yeah for sure, I can see how the board turns differently based on the stance and direction.
The way I've seen it, if I do a switch front shove, my popping foot moves in front of me to rotate the board. If I do a nollie "backside" shove, my popping foot still moves in front of me to rotate the board. The general motion is the same, so I've associated both of those tricks with frontside. But your point about switch being a mirror makes sense as well.
Regardless, I guess standardized nollie trick names as Doom mentioned, coupled with the fact that I didn't grow up with the same nomenclature, plus the tendency to see switch and nollie f/s and b/s tricks based on body motion, hasn't really allowed me to see it the other way. But I'll consider these points made, thanks bros.
-
is "fickflip" a typo in the malouf brixton ad in thrasher nov' 22?
-
if the board goes behind you its front side
if the board goes in front of you its backside
if the board goes in front of you but its a nollie bigspin its frontside
if the board goes behind you but its a nollie bigspin its backside
its truly that simple

what's up with the tiny water bottles they pull out of the cooler things at street league? is there a benefit to tiny water bottles that I'm oblivious to? they don't look to be the product of a sponsor of the event. seems very wasteful, they may as well have cups and fill them as they need them from a water cooler. or drink bottles like a yeti or whatever with your big dumb energy drink sticker on it...

Having full size bottles sitting around the course gives away that everything's only been build to three quarter scale.

How do music rights work as far as covers or sound alikes?
Thinking it could be an option for all these parts that disappear they be re uploaded but with some free/cheap versions of the song they were originally released with.
https://youtu.be/DDjbZFQKfsw
Not a great example because the songs completely different but this is a version I watch regularly since it was first uploaded. Sure it isn't as good as Depeche mode but I get to watch ba and Gino in a part that was otherwise unavailable for years.

Lmao never thought of this. Solid theory.
My guess is cause ppl b irresponsible/entitled with their water bottles consumption.
I've done some event/production work and ppl will open a water bottle sip a few times then don't take obvious step of distinguishing it from the rest, and then need to start a new bottle. At end of day there's a bunch sandbag water bottles.
Peewee bottles still wasteful but ppl are probs more likely to finish em so maybe slightly less wasteful

Question
What late 90's early y2k video have two skaters dress up like the 80's and skate around Mission Beach? Can't member but I member them saying that it sucked and I was bummed
-
How do music rights work as far as covers or sound alikes?
My lay person understanding is that you can do more or less anything you want with a cover song so long as it doesn’t endorse a commercial product and royalties are properly paid out. I’ve always wondered though about the grey area of skateboarding videos, which are created to promote a product, so a claimant could credibly say that their song is being used as an endorsement. AFAIK it’s never been a tested issue.
In actuality there will be no legal solution to this problem until the US decides to revisit its outdated and obsolete copyright laws, which is never will since US law so heavily favors the owners of intellectual property and these people control the country. Probably better to just mute the song and avoid the copyright strike from YouTube.

My guess is this vid has the music swapped since it's not put out by the Nike account. Youtube is pretty on top of copyrighted music so the that account probably didn't fight copyright claim.
That vid must've had relatively big budget for a full-length, considering those weird in between skits. (I was just a lil kid when I got the dvd so highly possible that just didn't get the humor).
Anyway, Nike has the license for the song but that Youtube account doesn't.
Casting my question in the hat here:
Are the Nothing But the Truth skits funny or cool?

Yeah soz that was just the first example I could think of of still being able to enjoy a part even with a cheap nothing song. It's def uploaded by some random this was kind of a trend for a bit in the early YouTube days.
I would say the skits are all neither funny nor cool. They weren't at the time and aren't now either. Used to have a version with all the skits cut out and it actually was a decently enjoyable video.

This has irked me for a long time
Do pros actually only get royalties for their pro model boards or is it some sort of weighted pooled system like a restaurant tipout? The majority of boards sold are definitely 8-8.5. Do the riders with the outlier 7.6 deck or BA's 8.8s just resign themselves to selling half as many boards as the guys with an 8.25 deck?

Is it still a thing to put stickers on your board?
I currently have 14 stickers on the blank deck I'm riding, so for me it is. But I'm an out of touch white guy in his mid 30s who just got back into skating this summer, so it's fair to say I'm simply doing what I did back when I was in the loop. Which was 2005. Come to think about it, it's probably not a thing anymore because I'm still doing it.

The pro's I know get something dismal like $3 a board, if even that. There's usually also a salary, so they have their base pay and then board sales are essentially a "commission check" if you will.

To add to this question, pros frequently have models in sizes they clearly do not actually skate. Do they choose the size of their pro models or does the company just slap their name on a random sized deck like "we need a pro model in size 8 so we're just gonna slap your name on this one"?

Why are vids one-skater standalone vids referred to as parts? I thought "part" was interchange for "segment", "chapter", or "section". Like "part" of a larger video.

Man oh man you have no idea how close you were lol

It's a part of their life. But yea the term just carried over from a bygone era, why make a new word for it when everyone knows what you mean when you say it.

Aha I actually considered this as a potential reason initially

Makes sense.
For context; I noticed that Austyn Gillette promoted his new vid as a short film which made me question the nomenclature.

No…
No, my lilyung friend: Austyn Gillette is just a pretentious douche & THAT is why he utilizes that phrasing when he means “video part.”
Big fan, by the way, Austyn with a Y: looking forward to that box.

has anyone ever seen or remember hearing about a pilot habitat made for a tv show? maybe it's a false memory but i think its been mentioned in interviews with riders or joe. probably would have been way less corny than "i wanna be a baker!". also, since the topic of stand-alone vids being called parts was mentioned, what would be a better word for footage?
