Happened to me after a hilarious comment. Thankfully he unblocked me or I'd be holding an insanely petty grudge to this very day.

I feel like this should just be the standard as most of the posts we gossip about get deleted anyways.

Like all of Ted’s posts, it’s a video of him talking. This one is 60 seconds of him criticizing Pontus for fueling some of Polar’s art direction and music selection with his nostalgia and love for skateboarding from his youth.
It’s true but I guess it’s up to the viewer to decide if they even see a problem with that.

ted aint the first dude to call him out.

How can that be a problem at all? I want to understand, but not bad enough to watch another of Ted's IG story drible.

Pontus of Mad Circle fame? He's still around huh? Wat a magical career...
A friend of mine owed me a deck back in the day tried to be slick and bought me a Pontus board right when MC was done it was on sale cheap.
Traded it for a used Zoo York and Shortys board because I didn't like his name and still don't...

I don't think his point is that a company is milking nostalgia. Plenty of them do that. The issue is when you don't acknowledge that it's from the past and try to pass it off as an original idea.
-
Well why don’t you cry about it, fatty.
-
Pontus is/was a very divisive personality in the 90s and pissed a lot of people off. I can guarantee Ted is one of those people - SO many skaters from that time despise his success with Polar because they didn't like him around the Mad Circle era. You can guarantee this is personal shit because what he says makes no sense/could be applied to every brand ever

What idea is there to oppose? You didn't provide any ideas. You just said a series of dumb things.

He is not criticizing Pontus' use of nostalgia in general but citing actual characters that are rip offs of Gonz and Blender characters from the 80s/90s.

Social media only brings out the worst in people. It's a totally unnatural way for human beings to communicate. Hopefully one day we'll look back on the facebook/instagram era with great shame and remorse for what we let it do to society.

O ya I get that but I also don't think Pontus constantly believes or projects the notion that everything he does is an original idea. He may come off as a salty sometimes but so does Ted (despite his constant reassurance to his audience) so idk man. We can also be cyclically discussing how the Gonz and Blender were emulating the early modernist painters in their respective artistic practices.

poor pontus. how will he ever sustain such a vicious attack by one of the titans of the industry?

we need more of this. people need to start talking even though some things might be wrong but skateboarding needs this.
I wish there is 10 young duane peters like guys who are relevant. but there is none, just bunch of pussies.

ah when i first saw the thread title i thought someone was finally calling pontus for harassing any girl who tags polar on instagram

I mean... He's not wrong.

Ted is only relevant cuz he likes to see others do bad as him
And he clearly has no girl or life outside skating
So I can see why you guys fuck with him

I really don't understand this opinion. Ted seems like a true skateboarder with inciteful commentary at times and a creative, entertaining show, but its hard to compare this to Pontus' revival of interest in diy through early collabs with carhart, bringing back bigger board shapes with Polar, and numerous video projects.
Didn't see Teds original post, but if it is actually criticizing Pontus for hommage -type stuff, that's crazy, first because Pontus' esthetic is built on nostalgia, not just of the skate kind (his pre-polar movies refernced his own history, death of his dad, what happened to Pontus etc.). Secondly because of all the people who reference or use bits and pieces of skate history, he is the most forthright in acknowledging it. Lastly, most of his refernces are really skillful, such as the reeits in I like it here inside my mind, i'd be surprised if feedback ts even caught them all, no diss to him, but they are layered pretty thick.

This from a guy that has a history of wearing waxed barn jackets and those disgusting TNT high-tops, and doing the same three tricks over and over on every spot in the city.

i love both of them.
i'm a huge fan of polar, i skate a lot of their boards, buy a lot of their pants and i've always gotten a lot of stoke from their team and videos.
ted's a shock-artist or whatever you'd call someone who likes to get a rise out of people, and i'd imagine that if you're weren't hyper sensitive or completely lacked a sense of humor, you'd probably get a pretty big kick out of his stuff too.
-
I love Ted, but he's obviously got some kind of personal problem with Pontus. his criticisms here are a big reach. Polar is one of the most unique brands out, and created their own sub-genre of skate videos.

I don't see anything wrong in any of this, be it Ted's analysis or Pontus' approach.
Pontus is definitely being incoherent with those dick pics though - those are definitely early 00's.
Jokes aside I'd be interested in seeing people who've received them speak out on that. So far we've only been hearing stories, but several of them which hints at something that's definitely going on and if confirmed that's kind of a legit bummer.

I was like 16 or 17 when that came out and wasn't prepared. The intro I could look past but that later skit with the trailer scene? It had shots that were literally just Pontus' hot dog hanging low in the middle of the window frame or something. I've wanted to show that video to kids and chicks so many times and eventually never did because of that very scene.
At least it got me prepared for real skate art.

To bad maga doesn't spell pals backwards.
Seriously though, what bothered me in Ted's rant was him saying Pontus used his parents money to stay up. What the hell would we all do if we had parental trustfundage to use however we wanted? Ted just sounds bitter because he's working towards a PHD that he'll probably pay for until after he's in the grave. Just marry Pontus, no prenup, then you can take his trust fund and do you Theodore.
-
^ oh yeah I forgot about that, that part is actually fucked up especially seeing how Pontus' videos are full of loving references to his family, if he saw that video that probably resonated a lot with him, I know he's always worked super hard and put a lot of himself into getting Polar off the ground, never without difficulties, so I don't give a shit what Pontus did with his own family's money and choosing to focus on such a trivial technicality is quite the free hit from Ted (perhaps as an attempt to reach the holy grail of 'going viral')
then again I did find it weird at the time when he used his late grandparents' artwork on his boards for the first few Polar runs, but it's his family, his company and his cultural baggage so he can wear it how he wants it. When you have your own brand you really want to do your own shit, more power to him for going all the way into doing so

nope, at least not in germany and it is very hard to imagine in other european countries could it be different, considering the exponent economic status of germany compared to italy, spain, portugal, etc. (scandinavian countries may be an exception). it depends on your scientific area. there are little to none paid phd positions for art historians, linguists of any sort, literature students, etc. The situation is quite different for physics, chemistry, engineering, etc.
most phd students doing their phd in arts dont get any paid phd position and need to rely on scholarships or relatives. a lot of phd students are even on the dole.

I thought from the comments you might be bagging on Pontus imitating Matisse or Surrealism in general, but "the american" skate scene? For an art historian, that's a pretty piss poor argument, and as a skateboarder it denotes a lack of appreciation of the individuals who make up our shared history and traditions, since you're basically suggesting skate esthetics as the product of industry "graphic designers" and marketing schemes. You didn't even have the balls to name Blender, probably because it'd be too easy to disprove your argument, since Pontus has put Neil's name in lights many times already, which is more than you can say.
alright, "disapointed" is a strong word, but I have to agree with people saying this reeks of sour grapes, personal shit.

Like all of Ted’s posts, it’s a video of him talking. This one is 60 seconds of him criticizing Pontus for fueling some of Polar’s art direction and music selection with his nostalgia and love for skateboarding from his youth.
It’s true but I guess it’s up to the viewer to decide if they even see a problem with that.
Or maybe he's criticizing Pontus for turning his back on the distributor that introduced Polar in the US market, helped put Polar on the map and helped him film a video in New York. Its less about art and more about not fucking over your friends

which would be what everybody is saying, that Ted seems bitter about some other totally unrelated shit that he's unwilling to talk about directly.
I am curious what it is you're actually saying though. Hasn't Polar been on Theories from the get go, and aren't they still with them?

Polar is still with Theories of Atlantis. Still on the site. Polar has a distributor now for California to keep up but Pontus is still working with Josh and co.

you can be a fucking idiot and still get a phd so long as you're totally dedicated to being a certain type of fucking idiot
yeah, well, it is still very much work though and depending on the "idiotism" (scientific area) hard to finance
nope, at least not in germany and it is very hard to imagine in other european countries could it be different, considering the exponent economic status of germany compared to italy, spain, portugal, etc. (scandinavian countries may be an exception). it depends on your scientific area. there are little to none paid phd positions for art historians, linguists of any sort, literature students, etc. The situation is quite different for physics, chemistry, engineering, etc.
most phd students doing their phd in arts dont get any paid phd position and need to rely on scholarships or relatives. a lot of phd students are even on the dole.
A PhD in art isn't worth the paper it's printed on, same with undergrads.
I should have been clearer. Sorry
He is an art historian.

Hold on we have to stop this thread acknowledge that there's someone among us whose brain is so incredibly filled with farts that they think global warming can't exist because it's cold somewhere. Fucking moron.

When he does the art comparison thing he sounds like the dude at the bar In good will hunting who’s trying way too hard.

The only thing coming from a art PhD is a bunch of whining about student debt in thier 40s
