there are some serious rippers in/from Brazil for sure, but some elements of the skate culture there annoys the shit out of me. All these little 13 year olds tag themselves in every single picture of random pro's facebook pages and spam their skate related pages all over the comments.
Felipe Gustavo looks like a fat faced baby too.

Lately it's been Magenta guys or anyone who tries to be like them, which is unfortunate because I used to be into their stuff. Also Shaun Powers. There's probably tons I'm not thinking of but can't remember since I don't pay attention to them.

The one thing that annoys me about Shawn Powers, is the step backwards he took in his skating. You look at his old shit, he's flipping into grinds and slides. Now he just shuv its and switch mongo pushes everywhere and people want to cup his balls.

Alot of the people that post on SLAP
-
brian delatorre for that stupid man bun on his head. i said it, i said it, knock off the man bun!
quim cardona for the way he says 'QUIM CAHDONA!' all self important.
hoolio de la cruz for inventing all those goofy tricks even though i'm sort of a fan [of the era but he was a part of it].
paul rodriguez for not including fat funnyman paul rodriguez sr in his videos. he's like a brown misshapen owen wilson.
-
who the hell is buying Shawn's art?
-
felipe gustavo seems like a fucking douche bag.
peter smolik saw one interview with him and he kept going "i aint gay" like he just seemed so unsecure about his sexuality.
nocomply180 :)
people who spit all over the park holy shiiiiiiiiiiiii
jimmy carlin he makes me cringe so hard he looks like he trys so hard. never laughed at that guy.
-
Smolik is a legend
-
Mikey Taylor because he seems like he's faking his whole persona. He reminds me too much of a class president from high school, just too fakely happy all the time.

Louie lopez

Joey Brezinski

Gonna have to agree with everyone about Mikey Taylor. That dude is a trend hopper incapable of original thought. At the same time, I don't necessarily hold it against him. There are definite benefits to being like that with staying relevant and marketable being chief among them. Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit. Maybe he's just really into transparent popular things without ulterior motives. Maybe he's just having fun.
-
Louie lopez
What?? Maybe old Louie Lopez, not 2k15 Louie Lopez.
-
I agree with people not liking Mikey Taylor, I don't really see whats so cool about him or how he has two shoes on DC. But I hate any skater who only post on Instagram now, so skaters like Trevor Colden

How the hell is Hewitt annoying almost all footage of him is just skating no antics no persona. And don't hate on Uncle Freddy.
-
I'm agreeing with Shawn Powers. I had heard of him on here and everybody saying how he "kills it" and never looked up footage. Then I saw that "A Day With Shawn Powers" or whatever on Jenkem, and was super bummed. Dude blows. Bumming cigarettes and shit. Ridiculous. Ain't cigarette's like $10 a pack in NYC?? If I lived there and was a smoker, there ain't no fucking way I would be giving one out.
-
I've been avoiding Shawn Powers. I know nothing about him besides other people's reactions. I don't need to know any more people to hate.

Skate Mafia.
The dudes are so rad on it, which is the worst part. But I can't stand "Skate Mafia" and cringed at all those edits. It's like anyone who associates with "Skate Mafia" I just lose some respect for. For no reason! Also the gang-sign they made is actually really creative with the S and the M, but it seriously makes me want to puke a little. I hate it so much. ........Gang Signs.......
I'm done.
Kyle Walker. You're supposed to like that dude but it just seems bland to me. He's very talented.

Kyle Walker rips and I love his skating but his parts do come off as a little bland, I think it's because he was wearing the same shirt in like half his clips in propeller that just kind of cause them to fuse together in my mind.

Exactly. You are supposed to be able to appreciate gnarly stylish skateboarding. But there isn't an angle about his skating that gets me super psyched. Who knows, that could change with time. Rad skater though, and tons of kids like him. And he definitely deserves to be in the game.

Read the thread title abudabi. Casey jones doesn't need a reason

it seems contradictory to say someone's a rad skater and then also say you find them annoying, especially when they dont really put a personality forward or anything
edit: but whatever yeah i guess the thread doesnt require a reason, i just dont understand it, seems like unnecessary hate
-
da nigga jason byoun makes shawn powers look like daewon song

Really?? This is pretty much the same thing as the "skaters who embarrass you" thread.
Oh well whatever, Yoon from the Berrics definitely annoys me sometimes. I like the guy but some of the things that he says on camera is just retarted.

Nolan Johnson bothers me for some reason.

Don't like crust punks aye? :-*
I thought he was a fashion fuck to begin with too but I can't fault his skating.

I don't think I can even be bothered to make a list ttyt, here's the abridged version:
99% of people who ride for nike
99% of people in a supreme shirt
100% of people with energy drink sponsors
trend/ bandwagon jumpers (you know who you are)

Is this a joke? If not, you are the one who is "retarted" (sic). "are just regular" would make more sense, but calling someone regular is fucked up regardless. Dick.

Idk, I reckon he is actually into crust and isn't just going through hey-look-at-me-in-my-crass-shirt phase, but yeah I guess your thoughts are congruent with the thread title; he annoys you but you're not quite sure why.

garrett hill : do i really even need to explain that?
forrest edwards : i dont care how insanely good he is on a skateboard (and he is) he has the worst attitude of any skater ive ever had the displeasure of reading about, or watching footage of. Its not just the OIAM stuff, i can genuanly tell he is nothing but a pompous, little shithead.
sean malto: this guy should get his own category, ive never enjoyed his boring, repetitive, robotic style of skating. And i cannot stand the way he looks as a human, there is something about his face, and his stupid fucking haircut, it infuriates me.

I never like Brandon Biebel the dude rips, but I always hated the way he skates. I also just hate his style of wearing baggy clothing or wife beaters. He always seem to skate size 14 shoes. It just looks like he's shoe is eating the board. I don't know why that bugs me so much.

Shawn Powers is every negative cliché about skaters rolled into one. Rude, obnoxious skate punk with a shitty attitude that makes shitty "art."
"stole it anyway...cos im a bad boy." Oh, FUCK you, kid.
AND that cunt has a punch face.
Anyway, to contribute more -
I can't stand Sammy Baca. Just seems like a trashy person that doesn't contribute shit to society. An In The Way person
Hell, most of those trashy Hollywood cunts are annoying as hell. They're all just interchangeable cogs in the Baker Boys machine.
I don't know names anymore, so anybody that is an asshole loudmouth is annoying as fuck.
Except Tim O'Connor. Because he's funny.
-
Jake Donnelley is annoyingly overrated. No idea why he's pro and his tough guy persona is laughable. Total meathead.

Cody Mcentire. I don't know why, but there's something suspect about him.

Joey Brezinski

felipe gustavo. the number of times i've seen a clip of him going "ching chong ching chang" back to random asian people who are trying to stop him from skating something is way too high. dude's a disrespectful little shithead. i respect his skating but that dude sucks.
I just noticed he's doing this in the end credits of True. what a dbag. I think he's the type of person who never would have skated when it was considered something that only freaks did, before it became a socially acceptable activity. he'd probably be a soccer player or something instead.

Although the thread is titled skaters who annoy you for no reason, care to elaborate on why fos annoys you? seems like the nicest guy, and heroin is a sick company.

a good portion of kooky anti hero fans
Josh Katz(and anyone apart of the revive crew for that matter, except for Doug Des Autels)
Jamie Thomas
Danny Way
Aaron Goure(no doubt he shreds, but he comes off as a try hard with his sense of humor)
For no reason:
Chris Chann
Jeremy Leabres
Dane Burman
Alysha Bergado
Julz Lynn
Chris Cole

sage, dylan, ben nordberg, anyone on welcome, daniel espinoza, curren caples, lizard king.
damn why curren caples or anyone on welcome?
i understand the hate on ben nordberg, he has a huge fucking ego and cares more about fashion than anything, but welcome was and still is very much needed at a time when skateboarding is seen as a sport rather than a fun activity. bringing back the 80s style clothing, decks, tricks, hairstyles, in the face of like, street league? that's pretty ballsy and people responded favorably to them.
curren caples was actually the skater who got me into skateboarding, because as a 6th grade girl i thought he was "sooooo cute :3" so i can't hate but i definitely see that he turned into a fucking egotistical jackass, with the audi and the unending money and bitches
