Is this just really old news or what - i mean you never see any footage of him, but the last couple Adidas vids he's actually had "some" footage
He's not on there site as far as i could see - just wondering if he's been booted off or switched to Nike like the countless masses
-
Actually that seems like REALLY old News now - anyone know where he's gone or if he's just flow on Adidas now ?
-
wheres the hi-jack thread button ???
-
If John Rattray asks a question on Slap after a long hiatus, answer it or shut the fuck up.
-
it would be cool if he got on Praxis
-
Donnie, are you back now? Back to posting on Slap, that is.
-
if i remember correctly, it was shown in some adidas web-clip that he was injured. he had that type of "you will probably never skate again"-injury.
this sucks, but it happens.

he's had some injuries on the past years, but he's just a lazy bastard

Am I the only one that would like to see Vita come back?

I'd be stoked to see the team back together, but I'm not so sure how the shoes would be since they never made it out of the 90's

Dude's ankle problems got serious. Injuries don't always wait until contracts are up.
-

That would be tight, as long as he can recover from his injuries and actually produce. I'm a big Tim fan but the excuse "I always skate, but never film" is only good for so long.
-
I heard he's like an ambassador or something. Working for Adidas still. Can't skate too much due to his ankles.
-
It's a shame, Tim O'Connor is the man. Such a good skater. He deserves to have a permanent pro shoe.

He talks about his weak ankles
-

No.
His ankles are proper fucked. He's had a number of surgeries over the past years and that hasn't helped much as far as being able to skate goes.

Fuck you guys. I'll take a minute of Tim footage every six years compared to 80percent of the shit out there.

Good. He does NOTHING. The last Adidas tour vid had a bs 180 from him and that's it.
I did love him Eastern Exposure but enough is enough.
Inhabitants was his last part, with Selego, no? Has he done anything since except be a hater commenting the Tampa Am runs and dissing people on epicly later'd?
So by your logic, Cardiel shouldn't have a shoe either? Chocolate and Nike should have axed Gino?
Darrin, didn't you post an entire dissertation the other day on how Elissa should always get money from skateboarding? What the fuck has Elissa done lately? Tim makes skateboarding look fucking cool as fuck, everyone should be taking notes.

I rekon if Tim and Elissa went to a crowded park for a session, more people would be
watching Elissa.. Elissa deserves more than Tim from skateboarding.

Great, now this is gonna be a debate over Tim and Elissa. Not my original intention. Suit Up, you're an idiot for more reasons than one.
-
for me, tims cool to keep talking shit like he always has, i'd still back him even if thats all he did, he is one of my all time favorites for sure, on and off the board
-
Its amazing how incredibly stupid a lot of you are. He's old and he's done. How many of you guys think the Knicks should re-sign John Starks and Patrick Ewing? Or are they too lazy too? Wake the fuck up!
Half of these dudes never even finished high school by the way. Look forward to an $8hr position waiting for you stacking shelves in the warehouse when you "retire". Training for driving the forklift comes for those with the most street cred. ;D

I wasn't defending Tim so much as I was calling you out for saying it was GOOD that he got kicked off. Who are you to say that Tim doesn't have love for skating? It it because you don't understand his brand of sarcastic shit-talking humor? Have you ever read the mountain of tour articles he's written? He's always had a unique sense of humor. It's ironic that you called me out for hating on anyone though when you're the one hoping that a dude lost his endorsement.
That's it... Just one more! :D
don't worry, i got you dog. congrats!

you aren't from the northeast are you? our brand of humor is sarcastic asshole
edit: and we love tim much for the same reasons we love nieratko

My original intention was to make an ass out of you, Darrin. It worked.
-
I have to give it up to Tim, he managed to make a living off of one full video part that came out in 1994 ( if I remember right). I like his skating and always looked forward to new stuff, if it is true that he can't skate because of ankle issues I feel bad for him, but he does come off like a douche, but to me it seemed like he was just an insecure person who hid behind his smart ass banter.
-
Just looked up the Chrome Ball interview and he comes off a lot more sincere and down to earth. He has one of the best styles ever, underrated mini ramp champ.
-
darrin lee you fuckin suck. if i could kook you i would, beleedat. you must have a pansy ass sense of humor and were probably offended at some of the jokes he said about shitty skaters. and to say elissa "held her own" with dudes like penny and reynolds just becuase she hung out with them is idiotic. her skill never was and never will be on par with top street skaters like those dudes. and she is probably cool with tim since they have common homies but she could never hold a candle to the skill and style tim has.
-
Elissa doesn't skate anymore. Neither does Tim. You can vilify both, or glorify both. Take your pick.
EDIT: Just saw that you don't think i'm worthy of response. WHY DARRIN, WHY?
-
Tim O'Connor off skateboarding
-

His part in element world tour was always one of my favorite mini ramp parts.
He was pretty entertaining on MTV that time. Lady friend who had me watching thought so too. I'm surprised he's never got another more mainstream gig. I kinda wish Bam had started a CKY board/shoe/clothing company back when and given dudes like Tim, Hockey Temper, and East Coast Power House legend/ambassador status for life.
Comparing Tim O'connor and Elissa Steamer is weird and pointless. Elissa was able to make a name for herself in a man's world. She was never as good as the best dudes, IMO, but she is the only female skater I know, period. There are a lot of dudes good at skating and when Tim was on top of his game he was one of the best, period. Its apples and oranges.
EDIT: I guess that mini footage is actually in third eye view.

@hate
Your a dumb fuck! i can't believe i read your stupid ass post.
i know you did not just put o'conner in the same category as Cardiel or Gino.
O'conner got bad karma, this is what happens when you spend most your career just hating on people and being a dick. Karma is a bitch!
-
Max Power - He talks in the Chrome Ball interview that he turned down MTV because he didn't want it to get in the way of skating. You should read the interview, it is really fucking good.

i was trying to say this as well. i wasnt trying to take away anything from elissa in case it came out like that. but still, fuck darrin lee.

Why is everyone hating on O'connor for having a sense of humour? I'd much prefer to hang out with that dude than any of you pious cunts (darrin lee) that don't understand sarcasm.
Have fun having boring, politically correct lives. Fucking losers.
AND the reason you can like Tim O'connor but not Berra is pretty fucking obvious. If I have to explain it to you you should probably stop skateboarding.

You don't like Tim O'conner? Fair enough. That's your opinion and I'm not here to change it. But this^ is simply wrong.
Pioneer? Try Cara Beth Burnside. Elissa got where she is for being basically the only one other than Cara Beth and Jamie Reyes to make a splash. She was good for a girl and that's all fine and dandy, but don't act like she held her own. Nobody would've given a fuck if it were a dude putting out parts like that.
And get the fuck out of here with that bullshit about her being a playable character in THPS being wide spread cultural representation. That's simply marketing to appeal to a wider audience.

He was sponsored for telling bad jokes right?

Tim O' Conner is a funny motherfucker...comes from a long list of Jersey rippers, i don't understand how you guys can single him out as the only Jersey dude with what i wouldn't even call it an attitude problem (seriously if you think he's an asshole kill yourself). he's funny if you don't get his humor that's your problem. He's not even known for that shit the way other jersey dudes like Mike V, Merlino, Puleo..(who are all actually really decent dudes btw) are..And that part he shared with Wenning was sick back in the day straight legendary.
-
he should of just switched to lakai :-\

If you take Tim O Connor's jokes seriously you are an idiot.

Thank "Suit Up" for starting the stupid comparison. I wasn't comparing those two, I was just trying to see what logic in your empty head would praise a skateboarder who doesn't skate and frown upon a skateboarder who doesn't skate.
Oh, wait, you don't skateboard. It's all for naught.

Donnie, are you back now? Back to posting on Slap, that is.
Hahahaha, yeah maybe - i forgot how bad the hi-jacking got in here, i should probably post more purely for the entertainment
