Long time lurker, first time poster. This is about two weeks old, but I noticed there wasn't an existing thread. Noticed Sinclair getting tagged by Nike flow kids a few weeks ago, and it was also elaborated on in Thomas's recent Jenkem interview. Interesting to see what happens with all the Tum Yeto guys now that he has that connection.

Keep it core brah ;)

Dekline went under a while ago. He seems to be the TM for the flow kids. You gotta pay the bills somehow

When your that big you end up spending a heap on food.

i get the feeling nike executives secretly laugh at how cheaply they have been able to buy skateboarding.

Sell out

Another title for this could be "Adult Has Job"

Sinclair's a lifer, and with Tum Yeto supposedly having problems related to Dekline glad to see him find a steady source of income.

When every skate shoe brand is dead, blame the $$$ hungry people
Seriously insane how many people don't ride for skate owned company's these days
Core skate shops need to stop stoking Nike, Cons, Adidas, NB..... But it's never going to happen because every kid wears that shit now, until skateboarders wake up and stop buying it, skate shoe brands are going to be extinct
I have never ever had a pair of non skate brand shoes, could never imagine seeing a ugly ass Nike tick on my feet or a stupid 3 strips on the size looking down, I'd feel embarrised, I'd feel like I'd look like I loved street league

Why the fuck should Core shops have loyalty to brands that sold them out years ago by selling in large quantities and massive discounts to Zumiez, Active and online stores? Nike has done some shady shit, but they wouldn't have gained the foothold they did if the "Core" brands (fully core shoe brands don't exist any more and its a buzz word), didn't fuck over local shops in the late 90's early 2000's. Its capitalism. Mall shops get better prices due to purchasing power, allowing them to make better margins than your local skater owned store, Nike's purchasing power allows them to make shoes of comparable quality at a cheaper price than Fallen or Lakai. Even Thomas acknowledges that Nike has solid quality control compared to brands like Fallen in his Jenkem interview. If you don't want to wear a check mark or the 3 stripes, more power to you, but this sense local owned skater shops should have more loyalty to these core brands that made a killing by selling to mall shops is misguided.

I was in the mall shopping for a hat last night, saw Janoski Nike shoes, in 4 different shoe stores, 140 dollars, and they do not look anything like a skateboard shoe.
It's embarrassing what people have let happen to skateboarding.
Fuck you Nike
-
Don't forget that Larry Perkins had a Dunk awhile ago. Sinclair's had a connection to Nike for a bit now.
What are you implying here? That Mike and Larry are friends, and Larry got him the gig??? That must be what you mean.

I have second hand embarrassment from you admitting going to a MALL looking for one hat in four different stores.

Awesome news. Sinclair seems to be the shittiest TM in the game. Any good skater he has eventually gets sick of him and leaves, weakening the company overall. Glad Nike has decided to pick up this curse.

Different thread, and its because people repeat the same damn mantra that core shops should support core brands, without giving any valid reason on why they should. Nike does shady ass shit, but so do core brands. People look at this as Nike imposing itself on the skateboard industry, without examining the causes that allowed this to happen.

Haha this. Between Sinclair and Smyth I can't tell which is the worst TM. Both have completely dropped the ball in terms of putting up and coming kids on. Its been touched on hundreds of times in here but they talent they have let come and go is problematic.

While Smyth has missed on some people, I don't think he's done a bad job at all. Its just the standard to get on either Crailtap brand is really fucked up. The last 4 ams for Girl were Cory, Mike Mo, Malto and AO, I doubt anyone they passed on is much better than the people they chose. As for Chocolate, maybe I would of put on Ribiero over Elijah, but Raven got on partially due to his Uncle and both Stevie and Vincent fit Chocolate perfect. They only have money for so many people, they have to pass on some sick people over the years (Espinoza, Romar, Riberio, etc)

Word. Between sleeping on Jordan Taylor and turning down Tyshawn Jones for Toy Machine to kicking Ben Gore off Dekline after jumping to Magenta, Sinclair proves that "skater-owned and operated" is just a buzzword.

Yeah, weird how guys like this drop off the face of the planet. I barely remember seeing coverage or footage of him, then he's pro, and I'm like,"Who the fuck is this guy??" Haha. I think I'm just old though. Haha
Anyways, now he's nowhere to be found. Seen interviews with him though. Dude is BURNT!!!
-
Sinclair has been in the forum before. Don't remember what his name was. I wanna say it was "TUM YETO" maybe?? I would be surprised if he touches on this, cause in my eyes, it's kind of a dumb subject.
Sometimes when you're an adult, you gotta do things you don't wanna do. He might feel guilty about working for NIKE, but he's got a family, a house, bills to pay, etc. etc.
Or maybe Sinclair likes Nike?? Who knows.
If you hate Nike SB, don't buy. If you like Nike SB and you want to buy, it's your money, do what you want with it.
Anybody that is spending money on Nike SB, or even Adidas, CONS, or NB# for that matter, just understand where your money is going and what you're supporting. Understand that at the end of the day, these companies are in it for the money, and don't give a fuck about skateboarding.

Thought he was trying to get on Deathwish/Deathwish flow. Given the family vibe Baker bros tries to have and how there are crews within the group (Lizard, Nuge and Baca, or Figgy, Dickson and Slash or the originals PD's), I wouldn't be surprised if he gets on due to Rowan, Kirby and Riley.

I feel like when guys drop off like that, they're probably blowing it. Just piling out. Or maybe Foundation just chewed up and spit out another skater. Foundation is seriously the worst.

If you're that mad about it, don't buy from shops that carry the products. They made the decision to order those brands in and keep them on the shelves. Your money supports and goes back to whatever shop you buy from.

so by that logic, vegans/vegetarians shouldn't shop at ANY grocery store, because they sell animal products. Do you WANT local shops to go out of business??? And yes, your money goes back to whatever shop you buy from. So if you don't like the product, don't make the shop suffer, just buy different brand product!!!!

1. You're ignorant as fuck to say not to buy at shops who sell Nike.
2. I've bought Nike. I'm skating a pair right now. So, I'm not bitter about shit, or else I wouldn't buy anything Nike SB.
3. I used to be on "Don't Do It" wagon, but thenI realized no one is making any shoes that I like to skate, so I'm now skating some SB's. If I could help it, I wouldn't be buying Nike though. But the quality is good and they do make some good shoes, so I'm not going to be so opposed to skating Nike SB.

This is absurd. Look at a company like NB#, specifically. All they've done since leaving Black Box is continually refine their skate shoes as best as they possibly can in all areas: looks, performance, durability. And how did they go about doing that? You guessed it, by working with skateboarders to get their opinion. By giving their shoes away to skateboarders and asking their feedback on what they liked and didn't like all in an effort to make something better, you guessed it, FOR SKATEBOARDING. Not just pros, but regular joes. All they've done is solicit opinions on how they can improve their shoes - for skateboarding - with no strings attached. That to me doesn't sound like a company that "don't give a fuck about skateboarding".

Accidently a couple words. I never actually skated a pair I liked. I'm too poor to be core so I buy defect shoes off Ebay for cheap. I was trying to say I'd skate anything but hate myself for it, but I suck and can't form full thoughts.

They're company men with their bosses' turds on their noses. They'd say whatever was in the best interest of the person signing their checks.

NB# is just where Nike was when they got back into skateboarding in the early 00s
remember when Nike's team was Supa, Todd Jordan, Mountain, Childress, Mulder, Shimizu, Partanen, Beach
and Sinclair is basically the Coach McGuirk of skateboarding - but he does a good job of collecting and being the lone authority figure in the lives of the very specific type of single parent having, drop out burn out that collects on TY's shelves for a two year period.

Yes, because that approach has always worked so well.
I mean I'm all for animal rights and stuff but Rowley just offered me some BIG money to be on his hunting team so I think I might change the system from the inside out ::) I 'll let you know how it goes after I kill my first mountain lion
-
I'm just putting that more as a justification from the outspoken anti's to join up. Obviously there won't be a sea change, but thinks like Santa Monica courthouse getting fixed (like I mentioned) can come of it which Nike is probably in the singular position to do so

That's a little unfair. Sinclair probably knew Dekline was a sinking ship and told him to take that Nike money while he could.
Here's the thing.... Is it lame for all these guys to go to Nike SB mainly for the check?? Yeah. Goes for the rest of these corpo. brands. People have to remember that a lot of these guys have families. Some of these guys probably wouldn't even have some real money coming in if it wasn't for some of these shoe companies. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just being real. The dream for any of these guys that are making it is to get paid, travel the world, and not worry about anything but skating. Hard to say no to that Nike check, I would imagine.
I'm not into any of these corporate companies, but the quality is these and they are making good shoes. Like I said, I don't really support these companies, but I am skating some SB's right now. Trying to play Devil's Advocate a little bit here. There's always 2 ways of looking at things.

You should take him up on that dinner Gip. I'm not sure what revelation he can share to justify working for the Swoosh and whether or not he listens, you could dish up some good points for him to ponder. They also have a pretty solid buffalo ranch chicken salad.
-
You think its about the Nike thing? I figured it was more about the thing that I said about him being a bad TM who chases away good riders.
In terms of Nike, I'm probably not the best person to convince about that. I'm not fighting any crusades anymore, I just don't like them. They've already won. Its over. They can buy every big name and most of the legit skate shoe companies have been driven either to or near bankruptcy due to the massive marketshare nike controls. I don't like that, so I don't buy them, but damned near everybody else I know does, so whatever.
Chilis actually has pretty good ribs, but I suppose I should look into these sizzle plates.

An aged SINclair will look like David Koch - for those who don't know who David Koch is, google search Koch Brothers. Pronounced COKE.
Not in my book. "Cock" bros for life.
But for the record, the Sinclair hate in this thread is way overboard. I don't agree with a number of his decisions, but I'm not going to let that sway my opinion of him. General feedback I get is that he's a good dude. Reading awful comments directed toward you on SLAP without a clear understanding of how seriously individual posters take those words is almost guaranteed to elicit a bad reaction. And an offer for free Chili's for talking shit? That's FAR from a bad reaction.
I hope there is Chili's and I hope we get a detailed report of said Chili's.

Anyone shitting on him for his weight is throwing a low blow. When you get older and start fattening up from your metabolism taking a shit on your body, you'll realize how much effort it takes to get any of that weight off permanently.
It's such a vicious cycle too since you're embarrassed about getting fat in the first place so you don't want to show your face in the line up at the local skate spots so you get even fatter since you're no longer skating as much.
Oh yeah, fuck Nike.

I can't wait for some suit at Nike to decide the SB division is no longer making enough profit/growth to keep it going. They'll still keep making shoes that can be skated so they'll continue draining money from dedicated skate shoe companies under a different moniker (Nike 7.0?). All these guys happily moving to Oregon like it will be permanent position with job security are going to be scrambling to find a job in an industry they helped decimate. Will they be welcomed back?

I'm sure Sinclair is a good dude, I've heard the same from people I trust on the matter, as I've never met him. I also, however, must demand a white suede pair of blazers. As much as I want to hate Nike, good lord those shoes skated so well.
Also, he gets props for still being able to support a family from the skateboarding industry.

Several years ago (maybe 2009?) there was a Toronto skater on here that went by the username "Brooklyn Brawler." Funny dude and I can't remember why, but at the time there were multiple threads about Jamie Thomas (similar to this thread about Sinclair) and Brooklyn Brawler was one of the main posters in these threads. Long story short, Jamie calls out Brooklyn Brawler on his comments and they meet up at a bar. Jamie explains his side of things to him and then Brooklyn comes on Slap backing Jamie. Some details are missing in there. Heard Brooklyn now works for MTV these days...

they aren't fucking French collaborators after German occupation.
Nike's been SB since 2002 - going on 14 years now. Skating has only changed cosmetically (companies like Fallen, Dekline, 88 lasted probably the average length of a skate co) and sick people get paid a lot to wear shoes Farrah Fawcett was shredding in back in the 70s
but the core of the argument is that everyone wants to keep skateboarding punk, but they see SB as green day's Dookie

Yep. He took a ride but turned down food--the whole story sounded super awkward.
And for the record Brooklyn Brawler sucked bad. He and his husky female friend bullied Rawb incessantly and even made a website to do so. I ran a fake Rawb account during a Rawb hiatus and he banned me 'cause he thought it was Rawb. Then he had a meltdown and banned anyone who spoke of or reposted the epic Vikki story.

This thing with Gip is obviously just a way for Sinclair to support his sponsor Chili's. ;D

I'm not even a big BBQ kind of guy and I agree with this. Chilis and the other mass produced family-friendly dinner restaurants (i.e. TGIF, Applebee's, etc.) will never compare to hole in the wall or smaller chain dinner joints.

I can't wait for some suit at Nike to decide the SB division is no longer making enough profit/growth to keep it going. They'll still keep making shoes that can be skated so they'll continue draining money from dedicated skate shoe companies under a different moniker (Nike 7.0?). All these guys happily moving to Oregon like it will be permanent position with job security are going to be scrambling to find a job in an industry they helped decimate. Will they be welcomed back?
they aren't fucking French collaborators after German occupation.
Nike's been SB since 2002 - going on 14 years now. Skating has only changed cosmetically (companies like Fallen, Dekline, 88 lasted probably the average length of a skate co) and sick people get paid a lot to wear shoes Farrah Fawcett was shredding in back in the 70s
but the core of the argument is that everyone wants to keep skateboarding punk, but they see SB as green day's Dookie
Nope. Unlike skate brands, once there isn't enough expected forecasted earnings being delivered, it'll be no problem for them to say adios. We represent a meager percentage of their earnings. People aren't lining up to buy shoes like they did when they were super hyped up. It would be very easy for them to pull the plug with little remorse or sympathy for the SB team riders and their support system.
It's just business for them. They'll do it and the kids will continue to buy their shoes under a different banner without Nike having to pay any riders or show any outward support for skateboarding like sponsoring contests or providing facilities eating into their bottom line. I'd be surprised if they don't already have someone crunching the numbers to see an ideal time to pull out and calculating how much it might affect their overall shoe sales in the "extreme/alternative sport" market. It's not like they haven't done it before.

http://www.theinertia.com/mountain/swoosh-nikes-pullout-the-pros-and-cons/ (http://www.theinertia.com/mountain/swoosh-nikes-pullout-the-pros-and-cons/)
a lot of presumption here.
Nike pulled out of hockey and snowboarding, probably because their isn't a lot of repeat boot buying - as opposed to the number of skate shoes skaters tear through. And while that article speculated global warming and thus less snow, could be behind pulling out of snowboarding - that article did point out Nike actually paid their riders what they're worth.
Now, I'm not sure what kind of abandonment issues you have that make you think that the SB department is watching some kind of stock ticker of skateboarding futures, waiting to cut and run in the middle of the night like the Colts leaving Baltimore. If it can raise the standard of living for a bunch of people in the skate industry, bless em, because even though skateboarding probably isn't a sport, skaters have the same longevity as athletes, and skaters have less of a future (hs dropouts/only so many TMs can be hired) once their skating is over anyways. Sure, if Nike ends, that support will end too - but where the fuck isn't that the case? These people aren't moving to Portland thinking they have jobs for life, but there is some security in knowing that they can transition to other positions within a company that will exist in some shape or form in perpetuity like the people that came before them.
Nike is a free market company and makes business decisions as such. One day they might end their program, but companies concerned about their immediate future don't tend to start hiring more and more people. Nike is in the selling shoe game and skateboarding is the only activity that destroys shoes as part of the fun.
side note: Skateboarding hasn't been seen as an "extreme sport" since the days of double-pit-to-chestys, which was probably 10 years ago. It's been absorbed into the whole youth culture/lifestyle brand/streetwear umbrella (not to say that it isn't any less gross - everything's always going to pivot to attract that disposable income demographic.)
-
It's fucking insulting for someone offering to pay beforehand too... Don't do that.
wait, what... how is that insulting?
-
9/10 it's not, context depending.
-
Of course a lot of what I wrote is speculation, but you don't need to suffer from abandonment issues to see into some of the negative trends that have been occurring in the industry. Also, implying I have abandonment issues implies you suffer asshole issues since I am not personally attacking you so fuck you for that.
Unlike those other articles where Nike sold hardgoods, I'm aware their stake in skateboarding is shoes and softgoods. When the trends are long running skateshops shuttering their doors for good, some of the biggest brands in skateboarding are failing seemingly out of nowhere or having to take outside investment to stay afloat, the bigger online retailers are running huge sales to get rid of skateboard product on the shelves to break even or minimize loss, and other skate shoe brands are disappearing without any significant growth in profit for Nike SB these might be telltale signs of the market shrinking.
Sure, there are smaller brands on the rise, but are they selling the numbers that the iconic hardgoods brands sold? Just because Nike is hiring new people doesn't mean they're hiring them at the same salary rate as the people they are replacing. They might be even hiring on the basis that they've seen someone's ability to let people go (firing people is actually a valuable skillset if there are too many people collecting a paycheck that need to be gracefully shown the door like the efficiency experts were hired to do in Office Space).
If skateboarding is seen as a lifestyle brand/youth culture/streetwear thing, then that's even worse than being classified as an extreme sport. If that is true then that means we can now fall under the umbrella of fashion with models for their shoes as opposed to athletes. A shift like that would mean they could more effectively negotiate even lower pay for their riders since they can argue their value to the corporation is no longer the commodity of a professional athlete and more of a male model. Once skateboarding falls out of fashion in their perception... Hmm...

My go to spot is a place called Butt Hutt. The ribs taste excellent and plenty flavorful without sauce, but there is a fine selection of sauce varieties on your table to best suit your palate. When I go to Chili's, it's Veterans Day which means it's free and I don't order ribs from there.

People seemed to have missed the point I originally made. I don't care if he's nice or not, he's not a very good TM. He may be a wonderful husband, father, son, and friend, but his arrival at Tum Yeto didn't mark a high point for any of the company's teams he managed. In fact, most are worse today. Does anybody know who the fuck skates for Foundation these days? people used to.
As far as it being a dick move to say that on a public forum? Fuck you buddy, enjoy the fucking Nike paycheck, those fuckers are paying you in vampire money. They have appropriated our culture for the sake of profit, put out a bunch of legitimate skate shoe companies and now YOU ARE HELPING. You want to get that big fat fucking Nike paycheck? Great. It's not my or anybody else's fucking responsibility to make you feel good about it. Man the fuck up. You knew plenty of skateboarders rightfully hate Nike. When you chose to take that pay check, you chose to tell them all to go fuck themselves.
Talk shit about what I say here all you fucking want, I'm not helping aid a corporate takeover in skateboarding. You are. Asshole.
Also, you had an account on here, and as soon as you posted that call out, I told you to PM me on here. You still haven't. I'm hiding? Am I supposed to search you out? Nah dude. You know where to find me.

Generally your friend is right. Every region has their specific foods they do well and don't. There's a lot of amazing food here, but BBQ isn't really one of them. But tell him to go to Gorilla BBQ in Pacifica. Its the best BBQ you can get out here. Still almost certainly nothing compared to Texas BBQ, but its a step above other bay area BBQ spots.
And Texas style bbq doesn't really use sauce, but that St. Louis/KC bbq does the sauce right.
And despite saying chili's has surprisingly good ribs, I know its not like real bbq. I just expected the meat to be a lot tougher and chewier than it was.

I haven't had any California barbecue since the "new wave of crucial BBQ" (I just coined that) started. The last time I had barbecue in California, it was *alright* old black dude bbq in Oakland. At the time, Sam's in Austin was the good stuff. And the stuff in CA was not even on that level. Not even as good as Rudy's.
As far as I know, there is NOTHING in CA even close to the level of deliciousness that Franklin, Micklethwait, or La Barbecue are at.
The food in LA and SF is great, but nobody's brought the good barbecue out there yet. And you really don't know what's good until you actually have it.

my buddy works at google in northern california and claims you can't get any good bbq in california and always goes on a bbq tour when he's in town. it's not a big deal, the sushi in austin kind of blows and you can't get good mediterranean food and the pho is so so. different areas have different food that special there that's part of what is fun about traveling. but let's be real, california isn't known for bbq and chilis is bullshit. it seems rediculous to live in a city like LA or SF and eat at chilis but maybe i'm over estimating the restaurant scenes there.
I haven't had any California barbecue since the "new wave of crucial BBQ" (I just coined that) started. The last time I had barbecue in California, it was *alright* old black dude bbq in Oakland. At the time, Sam's in Austin was the good stuff. And the stuff in CA was not even on that level. Not even as good as Rudy's.
As far as I know, there is NOTHING in CA even close to the level of deliciousness that Franklin, Micklethwait, or La Barbecue are at.
The food in LA and SF is great, but nobody's brought the good barbecue out there yet. And you really don't know what's good until you actually have it.
i remember there being a chain in Berkeley/Oakland that was pretty good. the name escapes me, but somewhat near the Berkeley park.
edit: Smokey J's?

^ I think you're talking about Chili's

It was some place owned by Nike.

People seemed to have missed the point I originally made. I don't care if he's nice or not, he's not a very good TM. He may be a wonderful husband, father, son, and friend, but his arrival at Tum Yeto didn't mark a high point for any of the company's teams he managed. In fact, most are worse today. Does anybody know who the fuck skates for Foundation these days? people used to.
I think that you're looking at it wrong. The brands Sinclair managed were basically going under or losing all relevance a while ago and he spent the past however many years doing everything he could to help them hang on. If anything, he was the ultimate old school TM. Tons of time in a shitty van that seemed to break down once a month, doing a lot promoting young skaters, searching different towns to find the next guy, etc. I think you're sorely mistaken if you think that Sinclair is a bad TM. He was putting in as much or more work than Scuba without the funding.

I agree on the Omar vulc. It looked great but was just too late to the party. Tongue seemed fixed and looked less of a Half Cab and more like a Blazer. I even think this was when Blazers were doing well.

I'm a bit surprised that no one else mentioned that Tom Ford is still wearing his tie while smoking crack.
I guess I always thought crack was more like a "casual Friday" situation. He does appear to have his top button undone, but I've wondered if super-fat dudes, like when you're so fat that your neck is really fat, often run the top button undone because shirts don't fit right when you're shaped abnormally like that.
-
Look at that shit there's no way the top two are buttoned. He stuffed them under his gullet and hid it with his tie.
-
Smoking crack sucks and ive snorted my weight in blow

Damn, fellas it's scary I really do look like fucking Tom Ford right now. I gotta do something about that this year if I can. SLAP PALS, I don't mind normal good ole hate, I find it amusing and funny 99% of the time but Gipper... be a man and come out from behind your computer you have been hating on my work, my character and throwing slander from behind a wall for years. Toy Machine has a demo coming up May 7th for Cardboard Skateshop in Burbank area at Sheldon Park. Look for the flyer to be posted this week on all social channels. I would love for you to show face and tell us how bad we suck in person or how bad I personally suck, Ed will listen to you too, he's just that nice. I will even allow you to skate the demo with the Toy Machine guys so we can watch you rip and we can film you. You should also bring a proposal on how you could bring back the old Foundation / Toy Machine teams and what you would do to have them kick more ass than they already do. You can also sit down with the Foundation team at our next demo and suggest new riders to them as well. I can set that team dinner meeting after the demo with the F squad and they would love to hear your ideas.. I'm not kidding. I would love to have you sit down with the guys and listen in to how much you can help or do better. This might be a great time to explain how you would of saved Dekline too. If the guys are feeling you and Swank & Ed really love your proposal I will resign and let you take over my position, you have my word. I hope you show and I hope the guys like you, it's been a good ride. Best of luck Ronald.

Tom Ford is a homosexual fashion designer who ran Gucci, and now has his own brand. The person who looks like Sinclair is the former mayor of my city Rob Ford. Ford is famous for smoking crack, hating bicyclists, not understanding public transit, creating the blueprint for trumps career, and most importantly, saying he had more than enough pussy to eat at home.

Gipper, if this is legit you gotta take it, just so you can have Ed take creepy photo's of you. Oh, and if this is really Sinclair, did T Spliff smoke himself regular and you kicked him off, or did he smoke himself regular and quit to ride for Mystery?
-
Danny Dee. Taylor Smith quit to ride for Mystery because Windsor James presented it to him as being this new and rad thing and they offered him a little extra money. Windsor is a good dude so there is no hard feelings and Taylor Smith is one of the best skateboarders talent wise I have ever had the chance to work with. I wish TSpliff nothing but the best, he is still super young and kills it so I hope he finds a new home. The F team loved him dearly.

Chilis actually has pretty good ribs
Pretty good ribs should not require a sawzall to separate a pitiful strip of char crusted, honey chipotle bullshit off of the bone and there aren't enough strawberry cucumber beeritas in the world to convince me otherwise.� I like you Gip but you have crossed the line with this one.�
Chili's, if you are reading this, you can go fuck yourself.
a serious conversation about chili's ribs in a thread about how lame corporate selling out it? BUHAHAHAHAH
chili's ribs are like the d3s of the rib world. like eating meat jolly ranchers. must be a california thing.
(http://www.tmbbq.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Franklin-BBQ-Book-Cover.jpg)
Can't agree with that. Ribs w sauce is like steak served w steak sauce. Might taste ok but definitely not the good shit. And the irony is so strong here. How you gonna hate on Nike but be down with chilies.
I'm not even a big BBQ kind of guy and I agree with this. Chilis and the other mass produced family-friendly dinner restaurants (i.e. TGIF, Applebee's, etc.) will never compare to hole in the wall or smaller chain dinner joints. �Keep eating core and support cook owned establishments, not corpo restaurant chains!!!
But really, Phil's BBQ next to the SD Arena stairs, that's some good stuff!
I refuse to believe there is remotely decent barbecue in California. The "authentic" spots I've been to also sell burgers or steak. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
Haha you're crazy, California is filled with people who are not from California. Some of them open up restaurants that they purposely replicate to their cooking and decoration from back home. Whether they're from North Carolina, Chicago, Panama, Ethiopia, France etc...it's really trendy...there is a shit ton of authentic spots if you take the time to do the research. There are tons of books and articles on them and people get awards. Especially in Los Angeles, it's definitely one of the coolest things about LA, the amount of restaurants is mind boggling.
Here's 15 spots in LA...I'd be shocked if you found all 15 to be shitty...I'm sure at least 1 (probably more) you'll be hyped on...

my buddy works at google in northern california and claims you can't get any good bbq in california and always goes on a bbq tour when he's in town. it's not a big deal, the sushi in austin kind of blows and you can't get good mediterranean food and the pho is so so. different areas have different food that special there that's part of what is fun about traveling. but let's be real, california isn't known for bbq and chilis is bullshit. it seems rediculous to live in a city like LA or SF and eat at chilis but maybe i'm over estimating the restaurant scenes there.
I haven't had any California barbecue since the "new wave of crucial BBQ" (I just coined that) started. The last time I had barbecue in California, it was *alright* old black dude bbq in Oakland. At the time, Sam's in Austin was the good stuff. And the stuff in CA was not even on that level. Not even as good as Rudy's.
As far as I know, there is NOTHING in CA even close to the level of deliciousness that Franklin, Micklethwait, or La Barbecue are at.
The food in LA and SF is great, but nobody's brought the good barbecue out there yet. And you really don't know what's good until you actually have it.
Never been to Texas to try their world renowned BBQ so I would be in that camp of not knowing. My ex-chick is from Wilmington NC known for their own style of BBQ and one time she cooked some pulled pork for me with sauces only from NC it was pretty bomb. We found a few places that did the true NC style of bbq that she liked, but I'm sure she said it's not the same as back home. Only point is there are plenty of more options that fucking Chili's...
-
Gipper you got to do this. It's like Make-A-Wish for pretty much everyone here to be CEO for a cool brand for day
-
MeanestCleanestPenis, on every tour / road trip etc. I let the team decide where they want to go eat. If nobody speaks up or cares I will go to shit I like and I like wack shit Bagels, Jimi Johns, Chipotle, In N Out. Chilis etc... Nobody is being forced to eat Chilis. Typical Yeto road stop is the strip mall where there is a Starbucks, Sub Shop, Grocery Store so there is a little something for everyone. When Ed is on the tour it's Whole Foods every day.
-
Sinclair, If gipper turns your proposal down I have ideas for the brand that could help. First things first is scratch and sniff skateboard graphics......I'm just playing.
-
Fuck this thread is making me hungry, fuck you guys. Have to say, I read the forum a lot but not everything, I completely missed this before it "blew up". So Gipper said something so slanderish that it will destroy the Tum Yeto brands by what the Gipper posted? That seems ridiculous, this whole thing seems like bullshit. I originally thought the Chili's thing was in reference to some parking lot spot at a Chili's that used to be in videos. Skating in the back of Chili's wasn't that a quote from someone back in the day? I'm probably wrong.

Mike, you are aware that Gipper is allowed to have opinions on whatever he feels like in skateboarding, regardless if he meets a certain skill level, correct? Also, how tight is Toy Machine's budget that you couldn't put on Tyshawn Jones post-cherry, and, with hindsight, how are you justifying this decision? Why was Jordan Taylor totally ignored from 2010 to 2016? What happened with J-Lay? And Josh Harmony... just why?

Is ed down? I mean I know he likes pics of underage girls and all, or his cum on dianna, but....
Just do the fuckin rob brink show and be done with it. Im sure gipper is down
-
I don't think the old foundation needs to come back, but I do think it needs a proper re-boot. Personally, I like puns and slight of hand gags, so I think foundation should be re-branded as "pound-nation" and the team should be stocked with mimes and pick-pockets. Since this is 2016, nobody has to skate, they just have to look like Heath Kirchart and behave like Forrest Edwards.
As for toy machine, there's no real way to save it except to fire Ed Templeton and turn the team over to Deanna. Once she's had her way with all of the team members and succubused them from the inside out you can change the name to "boy machine". This team should consist of dolls made by Deanna that look just like different phases of Ed Templeton equipped with different degrees of his boner. Ed can go all Hans Belmer and spend the rest of his time photographing his dolls in strangely erotic poses that people find odd, quirky, and somewhat pedophilic but in a legal way.
If you can accomplish this, I do believe the boards will shower you with the kind of golden dookies expected of the lush based-god.
And I'm sorry but dekline was fucked from the get go, you can't save something people cannot pronounce.
-
Aight, last question since if you are Sinclair you answered my T-Spliff question, what the hell happened with Layton. That shit was fucked, that part easily could of went in the Vans video at any point and he got dropped a month before the video by everyone. Dudes last part shouldn't end with a gap to shit yourself.

Heckler, yes totally aware the Gipper can have his own opinion. Just come on out from hiding with the hate I would like to see who this guy is and meet him. I'm a skate nerd, it's what I am, it's what I do, it's what I love, it's all I know.. I know it's what most of everyone here is as well...I'm very lucky to be here and I don't claim to be better than you or anyone. If you or Gipper think you can do better for the brands I work for go get it. This is the last message I will ever respond to so here it goes and if any of you want to know more.. I will talk to anyone in person about anything team or skate related, I'm easy to approach in the streets or wherever we cross paths so just tap me on the shoulder. All the best SLAP PALS!
Tyshawn, if you read his latest interview I think he explains it well enough but here is my side. Tyshawn was a awesome kid when I first met him (still is) After Tyshawn and Frankie put out a rad part together and I had it posted on the Thrasher site and tons of people hit him up and wanted him for almost every board brand and shoe brand, clothing brand out there. He was just 13 at the time. This is way before the Cherry video. Every week (or so it seemed) Tyshawn would hit me up and say Flip just called me, Circa just called me, Jamie Thomas just called me, Volcom called me etc... It was funny at the time because Tyshawn really loved Toy Machine. Toy Machine did not have a budget where I could fly him out and we didn't do a tour that year where Tyshawn could join in. Tyshawn lied to his parents and told them he was going to Woodward at one point but instead he came to Long Beach and stayed with Matt Bennett. Tyshawn didn't meet everyone on the team then but I backed him super hard. I thought it was awesome how much he was into Toy Machine. More and more offers came in for Tyshawn, I was just waiting for him to quit at this point. He stuck it out because he loved Toy and I was and still am super hyped on that. Finally it came down to Dill. Dill started FA and wanted Tyshawn to be on. I told Tyshawn he should ride for FA. That's his crew, all of his friends were going to ride for FA so that was the coolest thing and I thought he should do it. I would want to be on a team with all of my friends too. I wanted him to stay and possibly make it onto Toy Machine but that might be sometime and I couldn't make any promises without the entire team and Ed behind it so the best move would be for FA so Tyshawn left for FA. I'm so hyped for him and what all he is doing. Tyshawn is the shit!
Jordan Taylor: Jordan is rad! Jordan didn't produce much in those years. Brainwash was in 2010 and his next video part was this year or late last year. Jordan and Daniel were introduced at the same time and if you look back during those years to see who did what the answer is obvious on who the next pro was going to be. Then came Blake and Leabres same thing happened again. Jordan wasn't ignored he just sort of skated with a different crew and did his own thing. We took him on tours and took care of him and we still talk to Jordan. Jordan recently quit to ride for WKND with his friends and I hope he gets a Pro Board on WKND this year!
Johny Layton: Johnny has so much natural talent, I just saw him try to switch tre that giant triple set it Las Vegas yesterday. Johnny was not producing for a lot of years for Toy Machine. We decided to let him go and Vans did the same. Vans offered Johnny a great job and he is doing great working at Vans, still skating and killing it when he feels like it.
Josh Harmony: Times are tight everywhere so Josh got offered a full time job back in the state that his wife is from non skate related. Josh picked up and moved over a weekend and started working in the real world. He is doing fine, I talk to him pretty often. We are trying to line up a Toy Machine summer tour where we can be in his hometown and he can shred a demo with us and we can skate his new city. Josh Harmony is the nicest most down to earth dude I know.

Been MIA for a week due to finals, but stumbled upon Sinclair's IG post in the library today, and had to check back on this. You need to shred some light on Marquis before you depart back to greener pastures.

Sinclair, seen ya at the Zappos contest yesterday. I wanted to say what's up but they were keeping people from going past the barriers where you were situated at, you know how it goes. Anyways, I agree with whoever said hook forest up. Dude looked like he was skating a jankity beat up hand me down board and it looked like it was messing with his skating that day. He wasn't even forming the switch flip down the set for half the contest. A dude of his caliber at least deserves to be getting flown some decks.

Sinclair - all those Tum Yeto brands need to do is release more of the vintage graphics. Foundation did some rad ones and Toy only did the cat one as far as I saw (and bought). Would love more classic Toy decks!
-
I agree on the Omar vulc. It looked great but was just too late to the party. Tongue seemed fixed and looked less of a Half Cab and more like a Blazer. I even think this was when Blazers were doing well.

I think that's the Omar Lunarlon that was basically a Blazer but I loved it. The original was just a thick moon boot (ironic considering the space branding)

This thread made me inhale a full slab last night, thanks guys.
Definitely went to a BBQ joint for lunch today because of this thread!

Damn, fellas it's scary I really do look like fucking Tom Ford right now. I gotta do something about that this year if I can. SLAP PALS, I don't mind normal good ole hate, I find it amusing and funny 99% of the time but Gipper... be a man and come out from behind your computer you have been hating on my work, my character and throwing slander from behind a wall for years. Toy Machine has a demo coming up May 7th for Cardboard Skateshop in Burbank area at Sheldon Park. Look for the flyer to be posted this week on all social channels. I would love for you to show face and tell us how bad we suck in person or how bad I personally suck, Ed will listen to you too, he's just that nice. I will even allow you to skate the demo with the Toy Machine guys so we can watch you rip and we can film you. You should also bring a proposal on how you could bring back the old Foundation / Toy Machine teams and what you would do to have them kick more ass than they already do. You can also sit down with the Foundation team at our next demo and suggest new riders to them as well. I can set that team dinner meeting after the demo with the F squad and they would love to hear your ideas.. I'm not kidding. I would love to have you sit down with the guys and listen in to how much you can help or do better. This might be a great time to explain how you would of saved Dekline too. If the guys are feeling you and Swank & Ed really love your proposal I will resign and let you take over my position, you have my word. I hope you show and I hope the guys like you, it's been a good ride. Best of luck Ronald.
a school yard callout??? haha, wtf man. you might want to research some old i suck threads and see how this is done properly.

But Jordan Taylor was producing a ton in New Balance tour clips and always had a few cool tricks in the Toy Machine edits, and J-Lay was producing enough to film his "lost" Vans part. Does their production have to be Toy Machine specific for the company to acknowledge it?

I kind of understand. I have a full time job and I do the same work on the side freelancing. The full-time place usually isn't excited if I ask them to pay me for time off while I do the same job for someone else. Not that that's comparable to skateboarding where the rider is as much of a product as the product, just that I can understand what he means. And the comparisons to Dan Lu, Jeremy Leabres, and Blake Carpenter are fair and accurate.

I mean I get it, I'm not shocked at what happened. But A. Jordan's job is (aspiring) professional skateboarder, so it seems to me that any sort of skateboarding he does should hold value to all his sponsors as it provides exposure and brand recognition, and B. guys like Jordan Taylor hold a special value because their fan base doesn't overlap with the typical Toy Machine fan base, thus providing a different demographic a connection to the brand that they may not have as the team becomes more homogenized. Without the prospect of a Jordan Taylor board, my prospects of picking a Toy Machine off the wall dwindle.
Also, why do Toy Machine socks suck now? Jordan Taylor is one thing, but my last pair of TM socks got a hole in barely three months, and THAT is the last straw.

Wait... I don't get it.
He works for Tum Yeto and Nike?

Toy Machine to Dwindle. Confirmed.

I can understand hating on Foundation as its been a mess for awhile, and has 100% faced the backlash of Duffel being their most famous pro, but how can anyone hate on Toy Machine? Team has sick graphics, is owned by a legend, and has a sick team. Leabres and Blake Carpenter have to be two of the sickest guys to recently be turned pro, Jeremy has another Made part on the way and Blake had amazing stuff in true blue, and in his small part in Chronicles 3.
-
I don't think anyone's hating on Toy Machine really, but it seems like they're sliding to more and more irrelevance. There just doesn't seem to be much up with them really. Toy Machine boards aren't very widely available anymore either. It all just kinda seems like they're letting it slip away slowly. I dunno whose fault it is, Mike or Ed or whoever, but I'm bummed out about it as Toy Machine is my fav company and has been for as long as I've been skating. They need to step things up. :'(
-
Take a look at Welcome to Hell or Jump off a Building, where the team screamed 'skate rats' as opposed to 'Let's do the same thing as Zero is doing'.
-
Idk if Mike is actually bad at his job, but I really hope he is. Anything thats bad for Nike is good for skating

Ed's graphics haven't been great... i think that's why. case in point: look at the 1 off "going pro" graphics for the last few guys that went pro for them. Dan Lu, Blake Carpenter and Jeremy Leabreas (the worst one of all of them)... none of the boards have anything to really do with that particular pro. they're just... generic.
-
Toy Machine's graphics seem like they were outsourced to like a Korean animation factory or something. Here's Turtle Boy in all of his poses for reference, now get out there and put him in situations. It used to be weird bizarre stuff that built what Toy Machine is, now it's just mascot graphics with a pros name on them. I don't think Ed does as much graphic work as he used to and it looks like they just base everything off his drawings from 20 years ago. I'll always love Toy Machine, but it doesn't have the same spark I guess. Maybe it's me, but it's probably everybody else.
-

lol at comparing a skateboard riders' and brand's image in 2016 to what it was 18–20 years ago.
-
For A lot of older, larger brands it's never really so much about team or brand awareness. Just the consumer is bored.
So many options, stuff on sale, brands with A more relevant or trendy image.
The same formula of ads, graphics and team only works for so long.
People have a hard time letting go of their brand they worked damn hard to build, they won't accept that maybe it isn't a viable business anymore, and that starting with fresh faces and ideas is worth a shot.
Sure they still sell some boards, but how many? Paying that many pros, to have that many decks produced only to have them on sale or sit on a graphic series that tanked for way too long.
-
So Gipper, you're just gonna wuss out with the excuse that he hasn't PM'ed you yet?

I've had a lot of bad and some decent BBQ in CA but never anything amazing.
The closest that I've had is Aptos St. BBQ just outside Santa Cruz http://aptosstbbq.com/index.html (http://aptosstbbq.com/index.html)
Please note: i have not read a single non-BBQ related post in this thread
-
BBQ isn't some cult, it can be done anywhere. There's this Brazilian asado place I go to sometimes and it's bomb. They don't do whole hogs or anything deep South but South Americans own BBQ and I would put them ahead of any Kansas/ MEmphis joint.

Been MIA for a week due to finals, but stumbled upon Sinclair's IG post in the library today, and had to check back on this. You need to shred some light on Marquis before you depart back to greener pastures.

hes touched this topic plenty of times in this forum and i believe in interviews but long story short dude started wildin out and giving bad vibes along side some questionable behavior...
about sinclair... Ive seen sinclair and i know a lot of the toy/foundation dudes just from living in LB skating cherry park and sinclair definitely does a good job in my opinion with the resources he has. Foundation right now is pretty sick and the guys all skate together/hang together live etc. and this is me witnessing from my own eyes. The guys are taking the brand into their own hands from my perspective and are really showing pride more so than what I've seen with some of the past teams. On top of that you can't tell me that those guys aint getting coverage. The last few ads covers etc from this year has been yeto dudes and this is in thrasher, tws etc. so i don't get the hate on foundation other than every one just wants to gang up.

Two things:
1. North Carolina is the only true BBQ. BBQ is vinegar based, period. All that other shit is pork (beef is you're in Texas) cooked in different ways. And it can be tasty. I'll eat some tomato based sauces from KC. And smoked beef from Texas is really good. Just don't call it BBQ. Sorry, South Carolina, but that mustard based shit is gross. But hey, you do you. Just don't call it BBQ.
2. Sleazy, sushi in Austin blows?? You got UCHI right there!! That's like, the #2 spot in the country! If you haven't been, treat yo' self!

anything cooked on a barbeque is barbeque you fucking reet

Sinclair's latest post exposes the Gipper's identity.
I think this is taking a bit too far. Sinclair is a public figure of sorts within the skate industry, and unfortunately a negative aspect of that is the fact that you can and often will be ridiculed online. It certainly comes with the territory. I don't think he is handling it the best way.
That said the Larry Perkins stuff is hilarious. More skits need to be released.

Eh, I was just hoping to stir up an argument about regionalism. Anywhere that's known for BBQ claims theirs is the only true BBQ. I guess we can go back to asking Sinclair grommy questions.

Sinclair, you big fucking baby, I was actually starting to think you weren't such a bad dude but putting people's personal info out there is definitely crossing a line.
Hopefully I can get the 7th off and come throw cheeseburgers at you at the demo.

This is getting to be some high school girl shit. Jesus Christ, it's like the movie Mean Girls but starring a middle aged man in a Neff hat.
-
Whoever snitched Gipper out is a punk, but I can see where Sinclair is coming from being pissed about Gip constantly talking shit about him. At the end of the day we aren't guaranteed anonymity, though I would say posting a direct link to his facebook is over the top and he will have to deal with a bunch of unnecessary friend requests and comments.
But I do hope all my shit talking about Nick Holt gets me a free Ruth Cris steak at some point, or maybe my continual bashing of Pops for slacking hard and not trying since Mosiac might atleast get me a free bench and a slice of pizza.

Posting his facebook was probably the step too far, he has 18k followers or so, and a bunch will be bothering Gipper cuz they can. But I'd say Sinclair does have reasons to be pissed, Gips been here over a decade and has basically called Sinclair incompetent at his job and how he makes money. I'd blame whoever knew Gipper's identity and chose to out him, and I hope Sinclair posts your Slap username. While I understand why Sinclair did this, I'd also say its dumb as shit to do, that stuff fly's if you work for Tum Yeto, I don't think it flys at Nike unless you have a pro shoe.

1. Gipper is a pillar of the Slap community and has been here for a long time.
2. Everyone here deserves some anonymity or some expectation of it, unless they decide to be 100% transparent, a la Will Easley, or Mike Sinclair.

Wow, the moment Sinclair started to redeem yourself, he takes ten steps back and reveals to be more immature than the team he "manages". There is nothing cool about outing someone in such a public fashion, especially after publicly begging for reconciliation for days, and the only reason Sinclair thinks it's acceptable is because his lame persona is already a running joke in skateboarding. He blocked me the moment I called out his immaturity, which is even more pathetic.
Sinclair, I know your soft ass is reading this. My name is Andrew, I live in the south, and we have mutual friends. You have terrible taste in skateboarding, and I'm looking forward to watching you run every single company you touch into the ground. Fuck you.

Of course it's mostly about smoke, but that's only one factor. Nobody is considering smoked salmon barbecue. Whenever this discussion comes up, it's implied to mean a certain thing, and in regional warfare, yes, it is 100% about the sauce. Also, do you not consider pulled pork cooked in a pressure cooker, or slow roasted in the oven barbecue because there isn't any smoke?

100% needs a combination of smoke and heat, sauce is important but not everything. Also, gotta remember rubs. I'd say authentic BBQ is cooked slowly at a low temp for a long time with smoke, and you gotta make that sauce, no pre-bought stuff. Sit on the deck for a couple hours with some beer and relax in the sun while making sure you cook that to perfection. Pulled pork is another story, smoke that for like 4 hours then put it in the oven. And I hope some of you bbq experts here have tried the Bacon explosion, that is amazing.

I'm with you. All those things are true, but the sauces are mostly what sets the regions apart. That's where the bragging rights come in. Different rubs too, but those usually change individual to individual, and then only slightly. Rubs are generally a mix of the same handful of things, with the barbecuers own added personal touch. Not a lot of difference region to region in them. But low and slow is for sure the name of the game.

Oh, for sure. 100% Sauce defines regions. Personally I'm a KC guy (not where I'm based but what I like, have always wanted to go to see Gates and Arthur Bryants), especially in regards to pork ribs. Carolina style for pulled pork, and Texas for smoked BBQ Brisket (MTL or NYC for whats known as smoked meat, which I would never classify as BBQ). I think the whatever section needs (if it doesn't have already) a BBQ section.

why Toy didnt bring back Barley before Element ?! The Barley hype is real.
(http://skateparkoftampa.com/spot/productimages/colors/1_67405.jpg)
Bring back The Muska to Toy; why not. And why BA isnt on flow these days ?!
Those guys are "free agents" and a summer tour with a 20year Welcome to hell theme would kick asses. If we love Toy cause we have nostalgia put the team back together. A Maldonado Toy board would be tight. Just re-issue all those graphics again. Bring Heath also on that van and flow forever him F boards.
If Lakai and Emerica did a tour together with all those old guys why not Tum-Yeto ?! Stay Flared was super rad.

I also said I didn't agree with a number of his decisions, but I didn't make it clear that I understand the annoyance of people thinking they know all there is to know, and wouldn't have made the same decision, had it been theirs to make.
I EVEN understand the desire to get even with a troll. It's over-the-top, but so is the fact that people you don't know or work with just outright talk shit about you and your job.
But everything about this last bit is whack. I liked it when it was free Chili's to squash beef but this is nasty. And whoever snitched is a twat.
BTW, I'm confident that the "Mike Sinclair" account isn't him.

fuck whoever snitched on The Gipper, seriously.
Seriously.

Two things:
1. North Carolina is the only true BBQ. BBQ is vinegar based, period. All that other shit is pork (beef is you're in Texas) cooked in different ways. And it can be tasty. I'll eat some tomato based sauces from KC. And smoked beef from Texas is really good. Just don't call it BBQ. Sorry, South Carolina, but that mustard based shit is gross. But hey, you do you. Just don't call it BBQ.
2. Sleazy, sushi in Austin blows?? You got UCHI right there!! That's like, the #2 spot in the country! If you haven't been, treat yo' self!
You are so so wrong. BBQ is smoked meat. Any kind. This Yankee idea that sauce has anything to do with BBQ is just straight ignorance.
Of course it's mostly about smoke, but that's only one factor. Nobody is considering smoked salmon barbecue. Whenever this discussion comes up, it's implied to mean a certain thing, and in regional warfare, yes, it is 100% about the sauce. Also, do you not consider pulled pork cooked in a pressure cooker, or slow roasted in the oven barbecue because there isn't any smoke?
I'm with you. All those things are true, but the sauces are mostly what sets the regions apart. Different rubs too, but those usually change individual to individual, and then only slightly. Rubs are generally a mix of the same handful of things, with the barbecuers own added personal touch. But low and slow is for sure the name of the game.
Though I'm NC and vinegar through and through... I gotto admit, I fuck with Texas brisket. Heavy.

It went something like this, i responded to the dude who said gipper was hiding from talking to sinclair. I said "Gipper wasn't hiding, he told sinclair to send him a message on slap. Sinclair just got his feelings hurt over the internet and needed his 18k followers to give him a pat on the back." also said he was right up there with koston

I'd like to think the Gipper will still get the last laugh being that he is a teacher which is pretty admirable and who knows how popular he is at the school with the students, staff, and parents. He might not care at all because he is in the right, he might not give a shit because he could also be rad in real life. I'm hoping some of you had that one awesome high school teacher, the Gipper could be that for some students or maybe a shit ton of them. I wouldn't be surprised because look at him on here! Regardless if you scroll down on this page to the bottom under User Help has all the links to the rules and legal shit.

Not sure if I mentioned this in my last post but I DM'd Ed Templeton to let him know how much this is tarnishing Toy's reputation. Gipper could lose his job for this, it's only fair that Sinclair is put in the same boat.

If you're from NC then I understand. Coincidentally, BBQ for our regions has been the topic of many feuds just as this one with Gipper and Sinclair. And like those it's getting heated. People argue that SC is the birthplace of BBQ while others say NC. idk but from what I've tried I still love that sweet tangy mustard based. I think maybe Gipper and Sinclair just need southern BBQ. Then they can fight over something that matters.

Sinclair's latest post exposes the Gipper's identity.
I think this is taking a bit too far. Sinclair is a public figure of sorts within the skate industry, and unfortunately a negative aspect of that is the fact that you can and often will be ridiculed online. It certainly comes with the territory. I don't think he is handling it the best way.
That said the Larry Perkins stuff is hilarious. More skits need to be released.
Damn, whoever snitched that stuff to Sinclair is a fucking lame.�
Sinclair, you big fucking baby, I was actually starting to think you weren't such a bad dude but putting people's personal info out there is definitely crossing a line.�
Hopefully I can get the 7th off and come throw cheeseburgers at you at the demo.� �

Wonder if he realized he went too far, they all got reported multiple times so they got taken down or one of the company's he works for told him to take it down. Would be somewhat ironic, if Sinclair was told to take it down by Nike not revealing Gipper's identity to even more people, after Gip has been one of the most anti-nike people here for years.

And this.

Take the 'high road' and get creamed mercilessly by some random dude? i dont know - it would take a lot for me personally to hold back
He's a public figure. It comes with the territory. I expect him not to do what he did. I am sure there is a good Ghandi quote to throw in here about injustice being treated with injustice.
He made his IG private as well.

Completely unethical to throw someone's personal information out like that. Also criticizing someone for being an educator falls a bit flat. Performing an under appreciated job like teaching is a hell of a lot more admirable than flowing kids for Nike. Sinclair kooked himself hard here

I wouldn't describe a skateboard brand team manager as a public figure, its not like we are talking about the coach of an NFL team. What he did was an asshole move, but Gip basically called him incompetent and terrible at his job. This place is fairly visible within skateboarding, he has a right to be annoyed. I think saying his name would of been bad, but not terrible, outing his social media accounts and his profession is very low. Especially posting the part from the rat, that said he's worried about the kids Gip teaches. That is just fucked up, at least when Gip was bashing Sinclair he had some idea of how he did at his profession (knowing who he hired, who he kicked off, etc).
Granted, if anyone from Slap should be outed its Tracer.

but in all seriousness though, you outed a school teacher? What the fuck is wrong with you? This is a message board about skateboarding. You work for a corporate company and put yourself out there publicly, on thrasher and whatever else. You're not one of these TM's who chills in the background and let's the talent do the talking. You talk, a whole shit-fuck-ton lot and look to enjoy the limelight. People on the boards talk shit about skateboarding and the people who are a part of it. We talk shit on each other too. We also post pictures of fucking, dead bodies, jizm and every other fucking disgusting ass thing this planet has to offer. Why? Cause we're fucking skateboarders and we give no fucks about it. Everything is funny, remember? We're not selling a product on the boards, we're talking shit. Anonymity is a choice and this is one of the few places where we have the freedom to remain anonymous.

Jesus Christ, I had no problem with Sinclair before, but the guy is seriously a fucking joke.
This. I mean the Ben Gore story, the Foundation moves, and working for Nike SB are events you can't judge if you don't know the whole context. I'm sure it's been hard for Sinclair to do the Nike SB move, but I'm sure Nike SB working conditions are the best you can find on the industry right now for "behind the scene guys" like Sinclair. I don't know the guy personaly, and he doesn't owe me anything so he can do anything he wants.
He's doing something he fighted against in the past because he judges it's good for him, oh well, I'm sure nobody on Slap criticized Nike at the start then finally bought their shoes ::) You can call it hypocrisy, but we are all hypocrites at some moment of our life.
Nike SB is evil, yeah but so has been 70% of the skateboarding industry before Nike. There are countless stories of shitty moves by almost every brands down here (Dwindle, Tum Yeto, DLX, Crailtap, Soletec, Podium, Blackbox etc... no one is free from shitty behaviours and products down the line).
Furthermore a lot of Slap favorites have done shitty things too, but sure, a lot of those stories were before all those social medias.
That being said, outing somebody on social media is something stupid and childish to do. It's not something to be proud of, but nobody has been injuried or killed, so let's stop this fake drama and move on.

Sorry man, but everything you said in that first paragraph lets me know you're out of your league in this discussion. No, I haven't watched any BBQ shows on tv. I've grown up making it. The handful of varying techniques (smoking, braising, grilling, etc) are generally the same and accepted everywhere. Of course if you can't cook the meat right, it doesn't matter what sauce you put on it. We're talking about past that. And what separates "slow cooked meat" and good BBQ is 100% the sauce. It's nothing like putting shit in your coffee.
And yeah UCHI is pricey but goddamn if it's not worth it.

Two things:
1. North Carolina is the only true BBQ. BBQ is vinegar based, period. All that other shit is pork (beef is you're in Texas) cooked in different ways. And it can be tasty. I'll eat some tomato based sauces from KC. And smoked beef from Texas is really good. Just don't call it BBQ. Sorry, South Carolina, but that mustard based shit is gross. But hey, you do you. Just don't call it BBQ.
2. Sleazy, sushi in Austin blows?? You got UCHI right there!! That's like, the #2 spot in the country! If you haven't been, treat yo' self!
i feel kind of bad for all you sauce is kind guys. have you ever watch BBQ contests on TV? sauce isn't even a part of the equation. i get it, sauce can make something taste good but so can putting a bunch of shit in your coffee. for me with bbq i want the meat to taste good solo and then with coffee same thing. my neighbor did some KC style pulled pork for me and it was alright but i don't get why you'd want sweet over heat. the chopped beef at rudy's is way better IMHO for that kind of stuff.
uchi's cool but it's like the one place that's really interesting and it can get expensive. we dropped close to 500 for 2 people when we went. everything else is kind of half ass. there are a few places that aren't too bad. but in houston for example there were so many bad ass sushi places at every price point and in every style. you want the dive place with only japanese people touching your fish with menus also in japanese or the trendy disco sushi place or the indy, alternative dive place, etc.. they have all that shit and they all have great sushi. austin is more like there's a handful of places that are decent and there all kind of pricey.
Sorry man, but everything you said in that first paragraph lets me know you're out of your league in this discussion. No, I haven't watched any BBQ shows on tv. I've grown up making it. The handful of varying techniques (smoking, braising, grilling, etc) are generally the same and accepted everywhere. Of course if you can't cook the meat right, it doesn't matter what sauce you put on it. We're talking about past that. And what separates "slow cooked meat" and good BBQ is 100% the sauce. It's nothing like putting shit in your coffee.
And yeah UCHI is pricey but goddamn if it's not worth it.
Uchi is the fucking shit!!!!

jeeze, this shit blew up since yesterday.
sinclair calls out gip on insta and asks him to come out of hiding, but once a few people start calling him out on being a fucking baby, he blocks them and deletes their comments. you are the definitely of a pussy, mike sinclair.

Wow, he deleted my instagram comment within like 2 minutes. what a fucking baby.
Anybody screen shot my comment? HE DELETED IT.
It went something like this, i responded to the dude who said gipper was hiding from talking to sinclair. I said "Gipper wasn't hiding, he told sinclair to send him a message on slap. Sinclair just got his feelings hurt over the internet and needed his 18k followers to give him a pat on the back." also said he was right up there with koston

it's hard to argue that franklin's isn't the most famous bbq spot and no one is waiting in their 4 hour long line for sauce.

i've heard several interviews and he always talks about how important the quality of meat and technique are but never talks about sauce. dude got the longest line in the us out of any restaraunt and it's for bbq. pretty sure he knows what real bbq is. not to mention he was featured in an american express commercial and visited by obama.

And I see the confusion here, I'm not talking about sauce on the plate, I'm talking about the sauce you cook with. What you baste the meat with while its cooking. I thought that was implied, but apparently not. No, you don't need to dump sauce all over it after its done cooking. But every single thing sleazy just posted has been cooked and basted with sauce. You think hose guys just stick meat in and let it dry out for 12 hours? I'm talkin about the mop, and the differences in those, not the squirt bottle on the table.

actually most of the famous texas bbq spots use rub and no bbq sauce when cooking. they might hit it with a little basting with some vinger or cider or some shit (who knows) to keep it moist but they aren't putting bbq sauce on it. i know in louisiana the coon asses i knew would just baste with beer. but that's a whole different thing than the KC sauce approach. that said i do some chicken sometimes using the sauce approach but no usually.

Obama def knows what up with BBQ. The spot he frequents in my city is for sure the "right one" to go to, even though it looks like a hole in the wall.
And I knew as soon as I said those guys weren't cooking dry, someone would have an example of someone who does it that way. And I'm sure it's delicious and I would eat the fuck out of it, it's not really what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the classics, and why they're classics. And I'm also just being a pretty big homer for my state. Truth be told, I'm down for all of them (except sc, sorry), but to me nothing beats vinegar based.
But I'm always down for a spirited food discussion. It's my career, and mostly what I've down with my life, so I'll always talk shop. Plus I've been borderline dying from the flu for he last few days, so I'm all looped out on medicine, and I guess feeling extra talkative. Food is probably the most subjective thing on the planet, so it's fun to talk about, especially in this setting where it's people from all over the country chiming in.

Sorry man--didn't mean to overlook you!
EDIT: I don't know if it's regional and if so, from where, but my dad has always cooked the sauce onto ribs. Grills them up without any sauce on, just some basic seasonings, maybe a little rub if he's feeling crazy and then slathers on some Sweet Baby Ray's sauce and let's that get all cooked and caramelized, adding more as needed so it's not just charred on the outside. I'm sure that's probably way off base for a lot of BBQ chefs, but I'm sure everyone can relate to having that dish your parents or grandparents make that no one else can come close to. That's that dish for me.

Nope, not off base at all. That's just making ribs!
Usually you'll rub them with whatever, wrap them tight in plastic wrap, and let them sit overnight. Next day get some good grill marks on them, then roast or smoke for as long as you can, and baste often with your sauce of choice to keep them from drying out. Your dad was BBQ'n.

the queso is really good and what i like about it is that it dressed up tacos that you don't have to mess with. just eat them as is and they are great. my favorites are democrat and baja is super good. mr orange and mr pink are pretty good too. also note that they are really filling, i can only do 2. i've got some other places i go if i want more legit, mexican style street tacos.

Probably not today. I have to be in Westport so I'll probably go to a newer spot called Char Bar and get this sandwich they have called Burnt Heaven. Ha, I just realized that there is a Gates about 2 minutes from Char Bar. The choices! There are so many places to choose from. Gates, Arthur Bryants, Joes of Kansas City (formerly called Oklahoma Joes), Char Bar, Q39, Jack Stack and then there are a ton of smaller mom and pop type places. I tend to go with whatever I am closest too.
I tend to side with via on most of what he is saying. I can find something to love about all places. I've lived in KC, Texas, NC and just outside Memphis for a bit. I have to agree that I am not to into the SC stuff but I am still down to try out whatever someone says their spot is known for.
In regard to sauce, have any of y'all tried the white barbecue sauce? It's region is northern Alabama. It's got all things I love in it, but I am not sure if the sum is equal to the parts.
I'm a reluctant fan of white barbecue sauce, but only with chicken. It tends to get overpowered by pork/beef.

I'd be so bummed if Sinclair was my team manager and I had to eat at shitty chain restaurants the whole time on trips. Imagine being in somewhere like SF and having to go to Chillis
oh shut the fuck UP you twinkle toe ass motherfucker. What do you expect? Five star gourmet shit on a skate trip? Go fuck yourself.

I definitely get down with white bbq sauce on chicken. I make it from scratch and marinate it for a few hours at the very least. It's cheating, but often I'll parbake it in the oven then finish it on the grill over charcoal.

Sleazy, you've gotta hit up both La Barbecue and Micklethwait. Both have brisket on the level of Franklin, without the crazy wait. There's still a wait sometimes and they do sell out early though. La Barbecue has free beer on weekend mornings, or at least they used to. Probably still do.
I don't know why people like Stiles at all. It's a step below Rudys.
Also, if we're talking Torchys, I can really only do their queso now. The jerk chicken taco is good too. But their queso... They throw some avocado in there too... Good stuff.

are you serious? while there may be no regional specialty, they bay area has plenty of great food.
***correction, cioppino is very specific to the Bay Area.

Central Valley burritos are no joke. Burritos and the Sierra Nevada Mountains are the only things I miss. I lived on 16th and Julien in SJ for a minute and there was a burrito place around the corner that put cauliflower in my burrito and it totally bummed me out.

I definitely get down with white bbq sauce on chicken. I make it from scratch and marinate it for a few hours at the very least. It's cheating, but often I'll parbake it in the oven then finish it on the grill over charcoal.
So what's the deal with the amount of horseradish in it.� I love horseradish but I can't see it pairing up to chicken as well as it does to beef.
Honestly I don't use it for similar reasons. I've seen it call for cayenne too, but personally I think that's a copout spice, it isn't very dynamic. It might be really good that way, who knows? My recipe isn't spicy, it's more tangy. It's oil, eggs, salt and pepper, apple cider vinegar, and poultry seasoning (If you're interested in exact amounts PM me). It's amazing how well it turns out with such basic ingredients.

Some of the best bbq I've ever had came out of a gas station. Also in respect to Missouri, pan fried chicken is better than deep fried chicken.

So now I HAVE to have burnt ends for lunch. �It's good living in KC.
ps sleazy i miss torchys so much
Is torchys any good? They just opened one kinda close to me in denver and there's always a line out the fucking door, but my texas friends all say its just ok. I hate overpaying for tacos too.
i live in denver by torchy's and don't rly have interest, el taco de mexico on santa fe is my fav!

Sleazy, you've gotta hit up both La Barbecue and Micklethwait. Both have brisket on the level of Franklin, without the crazy wait. There's still a wait sometimes and they do sell out early though. La Barbecue has free beer on weekend mornings, or at least they used to. Probably still do.
thanks for the tips. damn, i'm so craving brisket now.
I don't know why people like Stiles at all. It's a step below Rudys.
i fucks with rudys... that moist is so good and ribs aren't too bad.

also, when you were in austin did you get some good moist brisket or some ribs? how's that stack up for you?
This is something I can get behind.
Not to defer from the BBQ talk too much, but I'm really surprised no one has shopped Sinclairs face over Birdmans.
Here I'll get you guys started

It's always better to DIY. Any excuse to fire up the smoker is a good one. I can't afford restaurant beef these days steaks are fuckin 17$ a piece at costco

I live in NC as well and our bbq is unfuckwithable. I've tried all the other styles too and they're all bomb as fuck too. One of my favorite bbq places is in SC just over the border so I guess they don't fuck with mustard shit. That must be some low country business. Just don't eat any of that shit if you're planning on skating after.

Harsh, but deserved - I haven't sifted through all 15 pages, but I suppose that's an indication of my commitment. In the few times I've checked in on the drama I've seen Gates, Arthur Bryant's and Jack Stack. I've heard Mr. Anthony Bourdain rave about Joe's. This seems like a good start, but is there really a limit to BBQ recommendations?

SC has a few regional styles. I love the mustard based. I grew up with it though. As for the Alabama white sauce, I was curious to try the other oddball regional sauce and tried it about a month ago. I wasn't the biggest fan but I didn't hate it.

The map is a little misleading. Supposedly western nc is tomato based, but they're really not. You might find more tomato based in the west, but really the whole state is vinegar. And as far as I know, anywhere in SC is going to be mustard, but I haven't traveled the whole state to really know. That said, literally every person I know from NC is vinegar, and SC is mustard.

I've been to a couple places where they think mustard based is the devil and others that offer a variety. I think mustard based is more widespread than that area but maybe thats where it was originally more predominant. My point being mustard based is the probably the most well known but not everyone even likes it here. It's a little varied.

The first half of this thread was getting me heated, reading people talk like Chili's ribs are just as good as authentic BBQ. Thank you, Sleazy, and others for calming me down.

I hate all of you because I haven't had BBQ in a while and now I really want it. There's this guy a few blocks from my apartment who has a trailer that he cooks up and sells his BBQ out of and the pulled pork sandwich is amazing.
Also, I haven't had white BBQ sauce either, but I feel like I couldn't think of it as BBQ sauce as I'm eating it without feeling fucked up. I'd have to just think of it as "sauce."

I was raised in Western NC and our bbq was vinegar based and the absolute best. I agree with via that most NC is vinegar based. I lived in upstate SC for years and rarely saw the mustard base but they got some good shit down there. Lived in Colorado to and got to try some western styles and they're alright too. Execution is everything but NC style is superior

I love the logic of how they think it will go down. No one at the school would give a shit. How would you tie Gipper to his real identity anyway? From hearsay instagram DMs and Slap posts?? People have more important things to do. I hope you didn't waste too much time putting that shit together.
Skateboarding is rad and all but the people in the skateboard industry need to get over themselves. You're not better than anyone. Stop trying to fool yourselves.
It's a shame. I looked up Sinclair's recent interviews when this thread first started up. He seemed like a pretty well grounded person and appeared to be professional. But in a fury of instagram posts he just came off as some needy teen desperately looking for validation.
....and if anyone has any recommendations for BBQ in the DC metro area, I'd appreciate it :-*

It has come to my attention that not only did Mike Sinclair whore himself out, he actually sold one of our own out. Great work, all done in less than a month. You must be proud, Mike.
I guees it is time to fight back against Nice Inc. and their army of assholes that think they can get away with this shit. As many of you know, I talk about bursting cunts mouths all the time, so here we go.
I challenge you to get your ass to Sweden and meet me outside Arlanda Airport. We'll resolve the issue like men.
I'm 100% serious. PM me for details.

Id suggest moving the meeting to somewhere half between you guys , maybe France . Portugal , Spain or UK ? so its more fair . And make the fight at a MMA gym so its not illegal and it can be supervised . A fight at the airport will only lead to security breaking it up and a police report or 2
If the fight goes down in Barcelona , London or Paris I know great places to eat and drink

Not that the fight will go down, but just in case.
Mike has access to Nike super coaches vs My washed up friends that did some boxing 15 years ago. Advantage Mike.
Mike has Nike money and travel budget vs My broke student ass. Advantage Mike.
Mike did not spend his last ten years killing himself with drugs vs My ex-addict career. Advantage Mike.
Mike's 300 pounds ass vs My 149 pounds. Advantage Mike.
Still, should be an even fight.

Green Street's a really good spot, I actually work half a mile away. All of the (relatively) good BBQ seems more north, but I'm willing to ignore the ridiculous name and check out Honky Tonk.
