But after watching that raw footage for the first time just now, maybe some of it is also the music editing of his footage. Much better for me without music

I feel bad for that Zack Allen kid. He looks young, and I bet if he read this message board he would be bummed the fuck out. First off the kid doesn’t seem like a kook in anyway whatsoever and seems really nice, hence why Reynolds fucks with him. Obviously he’s not the greatest skater ever, but he’s not bad by any means. If u have ability to skate the ender to that new kids in emerica vid above u are not a bad skater. He’s got a punk rock style but he’s black so I think it doesn’t translate well to slap, I just have this vibe that if he was white slap would like him better because he fits there stereotypical skater genres.

same age as most of the ams blowing up right now, and he has been a kook around me on multiple occasions.  snaking locals and thinking he's the shit for doing one foots and sweepers on a 4 ft quarter. gimme a break, this kid is less "punk rock" than sean pablo.

You should still have to be more than just good and kinda nice to be fully on something like Emerica or RVCA. I get the baker thing. thats their gimmick, but not Emerica. He should be getting shop flow from val surf at the absolute most. If he wasnt on anything and we all saw his footage, he would never get the pass, but since he has reynolds backing him, he gets by.

But he bombed a hill in sf and (presumably) an sf local said “yeah he’s a real one” so you should just shut up okay

Exactly he had bad tranny tricks on the 4 ft hip at pedlow in an emerica video. He snakes people and keeps his mouth open like a special needs kid. Honestly just kick him off he’s ruining two great brands. I’ve “lost” my board to fuck his runs up for cutting me off before. T funks a cunt too but at least he’s talented.

He said oblivion because they're everywhere but they all have like one or two boards and thats it. Take Dennis Durrant(had like three boards since he turned pro) or Lucas Xaparral from brazil( 2 boards and he's been on element brazil for a long time) as an exemple.

I agree with you on that.

I have to agree with both of you. Thanks Bruce for stepping in too.

What I mean is that they have a sick team who is creating interesting content (and probably getting paid good money) but never seem to be part of the team and is cornered to EUPRO with a board available mainly in their own country.

I really see the potential of a Jacky board brand or something similar but for me these guys are just using good money for element for doing something rad but the company isn't really recognising it.

And EuPro as fuck is not the answer.

If Phil and Jarne quit to make Jacky skateboards i'd buy it. Element probably pays well but i really don'tdon't think they fit element.

I mean you can do a kick flip on a hip frontside or backside right? I’d called it a frontside kickflip before I’d call it a FS Flip but this is where it gets real semantical.

Jacopo on baker would be sick, but somehow I don't see the connections forming to make that happen.

Zach allen is still so young. everyone kooks it a bit when they're young. give him 3 or 4 years and a growth spurt and let's see how wack his skating is then. He still seems miles behind Kader, but Kader is probly a once in a lifetime type skater.

Why does this Zach Allen kid get so much grief?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkqFUKqzplI

Look at that ender roll away. Kid is awesome.

i literally cant think of anyone in skating that has so much and so little talent and horse ass style. He is just not good. at all.

c'mon, he's obviously really good. if you're gonna hate, at least hate on something true.

I like zach allen, he got a loose style and skates pretty fast. Maybe he's a kook personally but his skating is good. Not a top pro level, but enjoyable to watch

If Phil and Jarne quit to make Jacky skateboards i'd buy it. Element probably pays well but i really don'tdon't think they fit element.

For sure! and yeah they aren't the only ones not fitting the team, actually not too many element riders fit the team.

But they pay well.

I'd call that a frontside flip but let's not get into that right now. Point was that dude is awesome and had a great fucking cover just recently.

I mean you can do a kick flip on a hip frontside or backside right? I’d called it a frontside kickflip before I’d call it a FS Flip but this is where it gets real semantical.

This logic is flawed, you're setting up a false argument, nobody has ever said that shit you just spouted off as a trick name. Yes its a kickflip, yes its basically straight, but when you tell the homies you want to kickflip the hip, and they ask you "frontside or backside?", so its not "just" a kickflip, there's an element of direction there regardless if its a true "frontside flip" or a "backside flip" like it would be on flat. Kinda like how if you go over the back on a 50-50 on a ledge, just because you didn't actually pop frontside or backside doesn't make it not a frontside or backside 50-50, its about the direction your frontside and backside are in relation to the ledge, the hip, or in this case, the massive curved wall down this set of stairs.

theres a clear difference between a frontside flip and a kickflip on a hip.

your logic is flawed, since you make it seem like im saying someone said that, calling it a false argument is in this case unvalid since i did not; I just (jokingly) reffered to the word semantical.
people were argueing trick name,
 since everyone saw the footage and can see he did not do a 180,
yet everyone understands where the general idea of calling it a fs flip comes from (hes approuching fs),
I wrote that because, no, when I "tell the homies i want to kickflip the hip" they dont ask "fs or bs", they ask: "coming from that or this way"

I wrote what I wrote because the discussion was about trick name and (spot)context was diluting it.

I feel bad for that Zack Allen kid. He looks young, and I bet if he read this message board he would be bummed the fuck out. First off the kid doesn’t seem like a kook in anyway whatsoever and seems really nice, hence why Reynolds fucks with him. Obviously he’s not the greatest skater ever, but he’s not bad by any means. If u have ability to skate the ender to that new kids in emerica vid above u are not a bad skater. He’s got a punk rock style but he’s black so I think it doesn’t translate well to slap, I just have this vibe that if he was white slap would like him better because he fits there stereotypical skater genres.

LOL boring skating is boring skating.

Also a huge fan of Jacopo. Bakers gotta be better than element euro
