Title: Skaters in shorts
Post by: cheesecoffee on June 08, 2016, 05:37:26 PM
The thread about boardshorts got me thinking about pro skaters who skate in shorts and look good doing it. I feel like not to many skaters join the light and decide to free their legs from the heat .
 
1. Ishod Wair rocking all types of shorts throughout the years

The past couple of years I somehow feel that street skating in shorts doesn't look as good if you're filming for a video. Though vert and bowl skaters look good in that gear.

Mike Carroll skates in shorts quite a lot. Sheffey and Natas basically skated just in shorts back in the day.

I can't stand skating in shorts. Don't like the way it looks, don't like the way it feels. Not to mention that your legs get so much more beat up. If I have shorts on and plan on skating I just change into pants instead.

Wenning does a pretty sick line in some flowery board shorts, I'm pretty sure it's in the DC video. The ledge spot where Appleyard does the line with that ends with the weird pole hippy jump, I can't remember the spot's name. Speaking of Appleyard he's done a lot of great skating in hacked off shorts.

Not saying he looks good doing it, but it's just not "right" to see Nyjah wearing pants. When he's wearing shorts and long socks, it's almost as if life makes sense, even if it can be harsh and cruel.

You can do it. There's a local here we call "Johnny Longsocks" and he wears shorts year-round. Shorts, Vans Old Skools and of course, long socks. He's been rocking the exact same kit for years. I even joked with him about getting married in shorts. His then-fiance had already suggested it.

Haha right on he sounds just like me. Black/white tees, navy dickies shorts, and mid calf white socks is all I've worn since I was a kid. Dickies pants would work for me if they made ones with a button and not a hook above the zipper, they always come undone so I donated them to Goodwill.

i was going to mention ryan halloway, super nice and doesn't give a shit. skating in austin in pants in the summer is pretty miserable.

i think lucas is the only skater who actually looks like a grown ass man with a white collar job on a skateboard and i kind of like that. i love the blue collar vibe in skating, always have and always will but it's nice to see a guy who looks like he's going to jump in his porsche after switch flip back tailing a waist high ledge in the riviera.

Your shorts should be longer than your underwear and that is the only rule. The only stipulation is that if you wear chubbies you look like a fucking frat bro.

I skate in shorts all the time and I really don't get shinners. But then again, I don't really do many flip tricks when casually skating.

I like that, but I can't keep anything in my pocket when doing so. I'm not talking about phone+wallet+pack of cigarretes+the library of congress, my set of keys fell off more than once. So it's not that practical, but the feeling is great, especially on a hot day.

Depending on where I'm going that day, I usually bring my pullstring pack with me to keep my stuff as long as it's within eyeshot. I'm in the south so you have no choice but to wear shorts when you skate in the summer.

I like shorts for skating and walking the dogs.  I'm from the North East US, so I can wear them down to pretty cold temps.  Mostly basic chino type shorts (J. Crew, etc.), but on super hot days, I'll throw some b-ball or lacrosse shorts into the mix.

Dustin henry always has the shorts on lock (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AqM9Z51yjc&frags=pl%2Cwn) 2:33 for one of my favorite shorts looks. Looks like he's about to dive in the ocean or go sailing right after switch boarding that rail

How Skateboarders Learned to Stop Worrying and Get Comfortable in Shorts

A cardinal sin among skateboarders of a certain age, wearing shorts while skating is being accepted by a new generation.

Tim Gavin.  I wear shorts a lot b/c I live in the south, but grew up in the North East.  It only gets cold here for like six weeks.   For dog walking and errands, shorts and a sweatshirt are perfect.  Yard work is more of a t-shirt and shorts thing.

Since covid started basically worn shorts every day. Even in winter started doing shorts plus blanket.
Aus summer is getting fucking stupid now tho. I don't burn easy but now any exposed skin I can literally feel getting cooked. If only it was acceptable for a white guy to wear the white sheik robes.
Also at least 70% of shorts looking good or not comes down to the choice of socks

Agreed about socks.
Similar in NZ, it gets tropical and humid af here and there's a good five months of the year that you really don't want to wear pants or you got swamp ass just walking two blocks. Long baggy Jorts are great, take a beating and good for landing and sliding on your ass, baggier allows more airflow, longer can protect your knees if you fall onto them.

Are you in NZ? I lived there for 5 years, wife is from there. My fashion changed while I was there - I had like 3 pairs of cut off Dickies shorts that I wore almost exclusively. And depending on season, either plain tank tops (singlets) or Slayer hoodie lol.

Yeah I'm in NZ, in Auckland, right in the city. I've seen you mention your time in NZ a few times, where were you?
Singlets are key. Gonna be a lot of guys in TJ cosplay this summer.

I was in South Auckland (Manurewa)... did not notice that the spot was kinda rough until I'd been other places. I saw a lot of fights while being at stoplights right on Great South Road, right there. I only really had probably 3 issues the whole time I was there, but all 3 were in the same week, lol. I worked at Independent Liquor in Papakura (believe its Asahi liquor now?) the whole time I was there. Wife is half Maori - Paparoa Marae. She's from the Tauranga area, which is an awesome spot. I spent a lot of time / money at Boardertown in Auckland and Hyper ride and at Real Groovy (when it was further down Queen street!). I skated Victoria park, the old version not the updated one (I think that happened right before I moved back? So 2012 or 2013), while my wife would hang out at the Victoria Park Market (old version - before all the cafes). I skated that Manukau skate park a lot at first. I had some pals in Ramarama, Drury & Pukekohe. Oh and Clevedon (cool township). Then I had some other friends up in Ellerslie, Penrose and Mt. Eden. And one that lived in North Shore spot. I had one skater friend but we worked opposite shifts so that never really got anywhere.

Right before Covid we were over there - her cousins have a farm near Hobbiton, so did some farming/4 wheeling and then peeped that. Did a whole road trip to/through the South Island. Queenstown is sick! I could be wrong but I felt like south island "vibes" were different than North? Great/ massive scenery. Didn't skate on the trip which is dumb in hindsight. Oh yeah the last "gnarly" thing I ever did on a skateboard was 2009 in Onehunga... I bombed some hills in the dark on streets I'd never skated on before. I was a bit drunk I think, but that was the last tough thing I ever did on a board (I was 33 and all the injuries started getting me that year).

I live at the corner of south americas east coast (atlantic). Sunny all year, humid but it has a lot of wind, our "winter" is a 3 month rainy period. Around 30 celsius when hot. Perfect weather. The most cold it gets is when you sleep with open window and no vent. Shorts is a major. But I always skate with jeans, somehow I feel more protected haha

Shorts are ok as long as person don't wear with black socks. You already wearing short pants. Those black socks don’t make it look classier or more grown up. Looks like you go to private school and are changed for gym class with them black socks.

Black socks with black shoes. Shoes like vans with the white lining can go either way. White socks with dark shoes make you look like Beavis and butthead.
