Skateboarding => USELESS WOODEN TOY BANTER => Topic started by: cucktard on August 03, 2019, 01:57:32 AM

Like pretty much anyone else, l was blown away by the gnarliness of the crew in their full length vid, almost enough to overlook the shady shit like running into people in the landings of ‘their’ tricks.
But after seeing people share clips of their insta over and over, this ‘fucking people over for clips’ is not isolated incidents, it’s a straight up part of their image that they are apparently happy to promote.
Security guard head trauma because they didn’t want to leave the spot aside, P-Spliff dead because he wanted to skitch and ended up putting an innocent person through the trauma of killing him aside, all the drivers that have to stop or swerve around them aside,
They are now forcing drivers onto the shoulder of the road as they hillbomb.

For zero reason. They could, like any other skater who just wants to bomb, stay in their lane and go just as fast. But no, they want to bring innocent people into their fucking games without their consent, for the sake of clips and fame.
This seems like the height of selfishness to me, there are so many other ways of skating, including bombing, without putting other innocent people in danger.
Fuck this shit.

Same. The internet self righteousness era has made it so if you aren’t perfect to some arbitrary standard of the net mob, you must be condemned. Real life is better, with the good and the bad.

This. You can't pretend you're not vandalizing all these ledges or disturbing people with all that noise. You can only pretend to be a good person, but you're just as big of an asshole in the end.

They don’t even bother to capture the actual bomb.
All they are doing is showcasing a dude pushing on the wrong side of the road (when there is absolutely zero reason for him to be there) and forcing oncoming traffic into the shoulder of the road.
Don’t pretend that clip was about hill bombing, it was a scooter kid getting into everyone’s way at the skate park ON PURPOSE

I hear ya brother, I ain't gonna let the snowflake libtards tell me what-fer. That's why I vote libertarian, to let man live free in god's country. I'm just as tired as you is of hearin' these fancy pants college folks tryin' to tell me what is and what ain't ok to joke about or that I have to put a shirt on in the library. This is America, and I ain't lettin' no-one take my guns from me. Which Harley you takin' to Sturgiss this year?

“Have you ever scooted around the skatepark and cut everyone off? If not you haven’t lived and you need to get your shit straight “
All the downhilling I’ve done was on controlled roads or staying in lane. That was more than enough of a rush for me.
I understand that for some people it isn’t.
But for fucks sakes, all I’m saying if you are going to do something risky, make sure you don’t involve innocent people. It’s not that hard of a concept.
Go fucking put on a squirrel suit or something. Leave other people out of your death wish.

Yeah, they're dipshits.

everyone who gets their panties in a twist about someone expression their disapproval of GX's bro-y-ness is the true snowflake. accept that people have different opinions than you and stop being a little beotch.
basically agree with OP that GX is a bunch of bros. Still dig the skating and the hill bombs etc but definitely think they're a bunch of privileged out of towners (gentrifiers?) who do cool shit but also shitty shit. Everyone probably forgot about how they stole an artist from the Mission's 14 bus logo for one of their hats and then got punked on IG about it and paid up so that they wouldn't get called out. good for them, but also a reminder that they're a bunch of cucks too.

OP must be from the this current era of skatepark skating and never skated the streets. Besides the head trauma shit, they’re not the only dudes out there doing that shit, they just figured out a way to make some cash while skateboarding is hot hot hot.

Pffff, bro's? Some 135 lbs bitch? They only to that shit if they outnumber a person. PvP? Burst mouth.

I’ve been skating since 84, with a 3-year break in Jr High. I’ve skated with pro downhillers (and they keep strict rules about crossing the center line, as they’ve been doing this shit WAY longer than GX).
Not that any of that should make a difference, the argument should stand or fall on its own merit, no matter who says it.

Yeah, it's just not possible to dislike their behaviour regardless of your age or preferred way of skating! Just as black and white as everything else in skateboarding.
Acting obnoxious abroad and this being brought up around the time the GX Japan clip came out was the first time their approach rubbed me the wrong way. Figured the black rock incident would've sparked the crew to self-reflect a bit. Guess not.

being a twat is fucked regardless, not with standing the consequences of obnoxious behavior or tagging along on the back of cars being a goon, you see what happens when getting clipped or run over by cars?! too many examples and in no way am I saying those that got hurt or lives taken by carelessness was their fault.

Got to agree ... most if not all of us also drive cars.... if some one gets killed while skitching on your car... while not your fault... you the driver still have to live with that for life... the fact that you played some part in a kid dying... of course there is some law breaking involved in skateboarding... we all know and accept that ... destroying propert is one thing but potentially ruining lives is another
-
Fuck skateboarders. Stick to the local vert pipe

The people in the cars are probably assholes too.
-
Yea GX is pretty wack.
Sucks because I liked their last video but they take their tough guy shtick too far.
When I was growing up we probably wouldn’t skate someone’s house as a spot let alone give the homeowner shit.
The back lip into the security guard on the steps in the video rubbed me the wrong way too. She coulda hit her head just as easily as the black rock guy. GX has been asking for the situation they’re in and now they’re in it.

I get what your saying. City “street” skating is almost it’s own genre of skateboarding. Million times more dangerous than skateboarding in the suburbs. Skate at your own risk, but try not risk the lives of others.
-
Can someone explain?
-
If the original post was unclear, I’ll try to re-explain.
While pretty much every skater ever has had had a board slip out and inconvenience someone or skated into the street without looking and got honked at, GX is purposely using drivers and pedestrians as added danger/edginess to their clips.
I love the rawness of some of their stunts, and the skating itself is impressive. But it’s gotten to the point where their attitude ruins the skating.
They’ve started shit with security guards (with tragic ends) skitched and lost life, and now they are pushing full blast down mountain roads forcing oncoming drivers off the road into the shoulder.
Nobody consented to any of this, GX is basically using innocent people and putting them in danger (or danger of trauma) for fame.

Like i said beforehand if you want to skate the city I recommend it as that's how you find spots, but in recent years since 2005 and up to now there's been a frequent reoccurrence of recklessness on both parts. As skaters sharing the road with vehicles and yes some skaters can be dicks like bikers we've all got our part to share space and accept responsibility.
I have been clipped on a hill while on a board and have also gotten clipped on a bike, both incidents weren't my fault because the driver was intoxicated. I knew the risks involved and yeah sometimes I rock a helmet, nothing worse then involuntary lobotomizing yourself becoming like Lenny Kirk.

On one hand, some of y’all in here might as well never skate street ever again because you might put an non-consenting party (e.g. pedestrian) at danger when you slip out trying a trick, or have to run out of a trick right into them.
On the other hand, we ourselves have definitely emboldened the GX crew to push the limits beyond what is normally tolerated/accepted in skateboarding. They are backed by Thrasher and have been for quite awhile, and they are (were?) the most respected, raw group in skating because of how balls to the wall and cutthroat every clip is, including the ones involving security and pedestrians.
So there’s probably some middle ground here...

Thrasher promotes asshole behavior other than gx, kotr for example. All you can do is shake your fist at them as they rip away to annoy someone else.

I agree implicitly just like drugs and alcohol there's got to be some accountability when it comes to downhill/bombing the streets with recklessness. I enjoy that feeling of danger but just like Cucktard said downhillers have a code an ethos that should be advised, I mean we all know helmets aren't cool but if say Andy Anderson were to roll with GX1000 and everyone had helmets, I would consider that a fair compromise.

The GX Crew has certainly paid a price and reaped the rewards for their behavior: Amazing videos, Thasher covers, positive coverage in the NY Times (https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000005514287/skateboard-hill-bombing-in-san-francisco.html (https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000005514287/skateboard-hill-bombing-in-san-francisco.html)), a GQ article, Pablo getting run over while skitching to lunch, Jesse being jailed while on trial for assault (with a retrial coming perhaps), a negative NY Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/07/25/sports/a-security-worker-confronted-the-skateboarders-he-ended-up-with-brain-damage.html (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/07/25/sports/a-security-worker-confronted-the-skateboarders-he-ended-up-with-brain-damage.html)), and didn't one of them break his neck?
So, yeah, consequences. Good and bad.
Personally, I wouldn't be bombing a hill into incoming traffic just a few months after my friend got crushed by a car. And I certainly wouldn't post a social media video celebrating it, but that is just me. I'm old and risk averse and generally feel bad when I bum people out with my skating.
At this point I think the GX crew has chosen their lane (no pun intended) and are sticking to it and no amount of jail time, broken vertebrae, and dead friends is gonna stop this ride. Yeehaw!

skating a ledge in the street and being conscious and somewhat respectful to the people around you is not the same shit that GX does, yall can stop trying to equate them

Op I actually agree with you. They are a bit reckless and they shouldn’t skate peoples houses and when they call the cops they act like their in the right. I have no problem with the GX crew. I don’t think you should use Pablo’s death as an example because skitching is illegal in California. People do it all the time there.

Talking shit to security and trying to get more tries in will always be part of skateboarding I don’t have a problem with it, and fuck the police. Even TJ dragging the barriers outta the way at the end of Blessed idc. He’s fighting for his trick and not really hurting anyone. I guess I draw the line knocking people over, starting fights, making drivers swerve outta your way.
-
You know it’s possible to street skate, grind ledges, bomb hills and make noises without knocking people over or force people to drive off the road. I don’t really give a shit about business property but I’m not out to hurt anyone.
Edit: VHS ERA beat me to it.

right....not sure what is going on here in this thread. but skaters will be skating in the streets in traffic for many years to come.

There was an interview in the last few years where a well known pro said skating was going to get so crazy people would just start dying. They were talking about the size of rails, gaps, etc. Maybe they were half right. This stuff will only become more common, even with the Olympics coming around. Always two sides to the thing.

The funny thing is gx10000 engages in what the self righteousness people in this thread condemn very rarely based on their vid footage. Usually they are very conscious of people and cars. Just dipshits trying to get the moral high ground in this thread

I just came on here to say that’s Pablo. But it’s already been said. No disrespect to Pablo. It was sad that he died. But when I saw this clip. The good and bad. I just was like damn that’s how he lived balls to the wall and charging and being reckless. Sad what happened. Like it is what it is and it is and maybe who posted this clip came across it and miss their friend. This clip just made me sad not get on some moral high ground about street skating which some of you may wanna go take part in more often than hitting your local park.
-
Jesus Christ people are missing the point.
It’s not about ragging on street skating, this clip wouldn’t be an issue if he kept to his own lane.

literally a video of two people bombing a hill. shut up you fucking dweeb.
They don’t even bother to capture the actual bomb.
All they are doing is showcasing a dude pushing on the wrong side of the road (when there is absolutely zero reason for him to be there) and forcing oncoming traffic into the shoulder of the road.
Don’t pretend that clip was about hill bombing, it was a scooter kid getting into everyone’s way at the skate park ON PURPOSE
have you ever bombed a hill in incoming traffic? if not you haven’t lived and you need to get your shit strait.
“Have you ever scooted around the skatepark and cut everyone off? If not you haven’t lived and you need to get your shit straight “
All the downhilling I’ve done was on controlled roads or staying in lane. That was more than enough of a rush for me.
I understand that for some people it isn’t.
But for fucks sakes, all I’m saying if you are going to do something risky, make sure you don’t involve innocent people. It’s not that hard of a concept.
Go fucking put on a squirrel suit or something. Leave other people out of your death wish.
Certainly he has not.

Acting obnoxious abroad and this being brought up around the time the GX Japan clip came out was the first time their approach rubbed me the wrong way.
yeah, that clip sealed the deal for me honestly, dudes fucked up peoples spots with no regard or consideration. people in here spouting 90s bullshit, but if you went and blew up LOVE park like that and ruined it for everyone, dudes would have hunted you down and strung you up

2- GX are happy to put this kind of shit out there, again and again, for their own fame.

Small 2 lane road with 4 skaters. Pablo protecting his crew by forcing cars way outside. Can't trust drivers. When I lived in SF almost got ran over on my bike while staying in my lane far right & one time while skating to school .

I’ve been skating for over 3 decades, but I don’t attach my identity to it so closely that I end up feeling obliged to defend any asshat behavior that is deemed ‘cool’ in skateboarding (especially when the main market is preteen boys).
I also don’t particularly feel anything when people like you try to use that as some kind of corer-than-thou insult. Just like unthinking SWJs or hypocritical conservatives, I think it’s funny that you feel like you need to defend something obviously wrong just because you have an emotional attachment to it.

Like pretty much anyone else, l was blown away by the gnarliness of the crew in their full length vid, almost enough to overlook the shady shit like running into people in the landings of ‘their’ tricks.
But after seeing people share clips of their insta over and over, this ‘fucking people over for clips’ is not isolated incidents, it’s a straight up part of their image that they are apparently happy to promote.
Security guard head trauma because they didn’t want to leave the spot aside, P-Spliff dead because he wanted to skitch and ended up putting an innocent person through the trauma of killing him aside, all the drivers that have to stop or swerve around them aside,
They are now forcing drivers onto the shoulder of the road as they hillbomb.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0sDY2-Apby/?igshid=f9ajfqylmldd
For zero reason. They could, like any other skater who just wants to bomb, stay in their lane and go just as fast. But no, they want to bring innocent people into their fucking games without their consent, for the sake of clips and fame.
This seems like the height of selfishness to me, there are so many other ways of skating, including bombing, without putting other innocent people in danger.
Fuck this shit.
Dude you’re fucking trash. “Because he wanted to skitch”?? Like his death was a selfish act, and he wasn’t innocent? Like his friends, family, and more weren’t affected by his death as well? So insensitive and stupid. Yeah, it’s dumb for me to spend my time commenting as well, but you actually don’t seem to be anything more than a dumbass, so uncontrollably fed up by some shit that doesn’t affect you, that you’ll say some fucked up insensitive shit about someone who passed.

You sound like someone that was personally affected by P-Spliff’s death, and if that’s the case, I’m sorry you lost him. Lots of people say he was a great guy.
And yes, of course he left his family and friends hurting. That’s so obvious that I didn’t bother to say it. They are also victims of all of this.
What I don’t get about your statement is that you imply he was ‘innocent’, like this just happened to him and he was a passive bystander.
I’ll try to make myself clear with a similar situation. People die all the time in thrill-seeking sports. Mountain climbers, for example. Like P-Spliff, they know the danger of what they are doing and accept the potential consequences. When they die, it’s tragic (they might have families, partners, children, etc), but they are not really ‘victims’ because they willingly put themselves in those dangerous situations. Not ‘innocent’ at all.
The difference is, with climbing (and most other extreme sports) everyone in the group knows and accepts the consequences. They have all consented to whatever outcome.
In this case, GX is involving innocent people without their consent in their thrill ride. And when P-Spliff skitched that car without the drivers permission and maybe knowledge, P-Spliff burdened him with that trauma of killing him. That is grossly unfair, and time and time again I see GX (and to be fair, a lot of other people) posting vids they are involving truly innocent people in their quest for adrenaline.
So let’s not lessen his abilities by saying he was an innocent victim. He was a phenomenal skater that knew what he was doing when skitched. And like with any dangerous sport, he gambled.
And his family and friends lost. Plus that driver.
That’s what I’m getting at.
Street skating does not need to involve innocent bystanders. Leave them out of our games to the largest extent possible and use practices that minimize encounters with them.
What I’m saying is, learn from this and don’t go out of your way, like in this vid, to purposely put yourself in their way for ‘fun’.

You know one time a guy comes up to me while I’m skating this ledge and goes. “Hey man, nice job ruing that planter there, it really looks like shit now.” And I said “ hey guy...it’s not a fucking Picasso alright, it holds dirt, it keeps dirt from spilling on the sidewalk.” I can relate to these guys or that kind of reckless vibe.

Yea GX is pretty wack.
Sucks because I liked their last video but they take their tough guy shtick too far.
When I was growing up we probably wouldn’t skate someone’s house as a spot let alone give the homeowner shit.
The back lip into the security guard on the steps in the video rubbed me the wrong way too. She coulda hit her head just as easily as the black rock guy. GX has been asking for the situation they’re in and now they’re in it.
The skating peoples house and being an asshole to them bullshit is something I just fail to understand. How are you going to go to somebodies home, destroy part of it, and then start copping an attitude when they’re mad about it?
Some guys years ago from my hometown skated this gap in some guys front yard. On one bail the guy ended ripping out a huge piece of his lawn and spreading the gravel in his planter all over the place, and seriously challenged the homeowner to a fight when he came out and was obviously livid. The whole thing used to be on YouTube.
There’s just no way I can defend skaters doing absolutely idiotic shit like this.

Who cares man. They are providing entertainment for kids and making money. People have done way worse things for money. I think this is lighter than the stuff I watched while growing up like Baker. Can you tell me that you didn't think Baker was cool growing up?

I am not a fan of the grinding on peoples houses but for a lot of older folks this is what skating is about - doing what you fucking want. I get that a lot of you grew up in the skate park era and always had a safe spot for mommy to drop you off at but for others it meant hopping a fence, risking arrest/ticket or getting chased by gangsters or bros. Raw street skating is what allowed geeks like hawk and bam to exploit to make millions thus exposing a generation to skating that otherwise would be playing with fucking pogs or pokemon.

Some of the people driving in these world choking metal cages are driving to jobs that build and repair the roads and sidewalks that you skate on, fix you up when you get injured, or manufacture the clothes and products that allow you to feel like you are more alive, engaged, and free than them.

I don’t think it’s about being “soft”, it’s more about being somewhat respectful to people and the things they work hard for and value. What if some random ran over and focused your vx? You’d be cool with that? Not a chance. These guys are a shame to skateboarding, but somehow every cool guy shop buys their shit and supports their “tough” asshole facade.
-
I have mixed feeling on the subject. If security (someone who is doing their job) is kicking you out, just leave, it is easier on everyone, doesn't blow up the spot, and it will be easier to just come back later. Don't destroy anything at someone's house (those hill bomb gap bump things in SF or similar spots are an exception, no property is being damaged). On the other hand, if you are in a public setting and some random person is getting in your face about skating they deserve whatever happens within reason, getting knocked over, bumped ect.

they bomb hills the wrong way to see cars coming, fuck the whole property view and omg i paid and worked so hard for this i cant believe you're in my space doing something that you enjoy. its your grass, your driveway your planter. omg that will be the end of your life. if someone broke my camera so be it its a fucking camera use a different form that you have or buy a new one. and if you want to fucking fight then lets fight but dont fucking cry if you get hurt like da fuck. you made the choice to react to me with anger. you're just upset someone could be living in this fashion because you wish you had the balls to.

I’m not reading this whole fucking thread but there is a time and a place to act like a child and that when you are a child.
There’s a ton of dudes that act likes jocks/bros in skateboarding, and when you grow up you realize how fucking lame it is. I saw a clip on Instagram yesterday of this guy flying through the air, on some dumb bail where he probably wasn’t even trying a trick, and he kicks this scooter kid in the head into the ground. Like a straight up stomp. The kid’s head hits the ground and his arms are just sticking up because he is obviously knocked out. He looks like no older than 12. I don’t even fucking like kids but it made me really bummed to see everyone laughing about it and talking shit just because the kid was on a scooter. Yeah it’s so funny to see someone have a serious head injury because they are a little kid riding a scooter. Honestly I think that kind of shit is the worst part of skateboarding. That macho bullshit while also trying to say skateboarding is so cool and a great community. Let’s not forget we are jumping around on a piece of wood with some wheels on it like a bunch of fucking circus apes. We are all so cool.

There are a lot of confused people on here that can’t (or won’t) understand the difference between a criticism of pushing cars out of their own lane, and street skating in general.
Street skating is by nature transgressive, you are using space not designed for skateboarding to do it. But there are different shades of this, and some idiots can’t see criticism of one shade being different than the others.
For example, the most obvious first shade, public space. It’s public, for everyone. So as long as you are not denying others the right to public space, it’s free game. Everyone knows this. And that’s why we stand up to people who try to tell us we can’t skate in a public space.
Private property (businesses) and personal property (homes) are two more shades. Not many people know the word ‘usufruct’, but it’s a legal principle where people can have free use to something, as long as they don’t destroy it for other people. But I think we all as skaters intuitively understand this.
So if there is a bank outside a house or business, and we are not waxing it or fucking it up, it’s free game.
GX is taking this a step beyond, and purposely fucking with people without their consent, and glorifying it to a huge audience.
I spelled out already what I’m not cool with, so I’m not going to repeat it.
But if you think because I’m shitting on GX I’m shitting on street skating as a whole you are missing the point or just basically full of shit

The thing about Tampa Am in the 00’s, is that anyone could, and often would, win. A proving ground if you will, for America’s best, to show the moves they spent all year perfecting. It was the one event each year where hungry skaters from all over, would make the journey, in hopes of getting discovered and achieving skateboarding stardom. Cole, Caswell, Colt. The list of stars is endless. Spanly. It was a time of time of innocence in skating, before big corporations, social media, and trap music made their mark. It was truly a special era, when local heroes from all walks of life, got an equal shot to taste the dream. Street League will never capture its energy or feel, for times have changed. Fear not though, in the magical world of skateboarding, the future always looks bright.

You have terrible logic there brah, cuck tried to have an actual discussion with you multiple times and all you can come back with is ad-hominem "blah blah blah, you're not a real skater (despite him having been a skater for possibly longer than you've been alive?), join the softball league". How are you more of a "real skater" than him, and how are you going to prove that online? Now if you don't agree with him then fine, but either have an argument to back you up or STFU!

Also, I don’t see anything wrong in the clip. Making yourself seen is important when you’re trying to not get run over by a car. This doesn’t matter though because I doubt most of the dudes vehemently defending their masculinity by calling others soft actually bomb hills or engage in reckless skate behavior outside of SLAP.

Eh they'll grow out of it. Turn 30 and look back to realize it was obnoxious but just shit you do when you're young and living in the moment. If they're normal healthy people, they'll probably feel bad for acting that way.
They're all almost 30 already and thats part of the issue. Acting like kids. GX skating is fire but their wannabe goonery is lame
Who cares man. They are providing entertainment for kids and making money. People have done way worse things for money. I think this is lighter than the stuff I watched while growing up like Baker. Can you tell me that you didn't think Baker was cool growing up?
Actually Baker bummed me the fuck out and since Baker/PD has been mentioned in this thread I wrote a response at the time but didn't post it but now I will since Baker is in question:
PD/Baker was such a disappointment for me. The Boss, Greco, Ellington, all these dudes on top the skate world all the sudden wanted to be the next Big Brother. It came off as desperate to me, like "We're rockstars!" I mean Reynolds was THE BOSS... Do we really need to see Dollin smackin him around or Greco dancing to GNR?
As someone else mentioned everyone copied PD and ended up junkies. And when these dudes years later relate their "hard times" we find out Reynolds version of piling was 2 beers a night. Greco used a needle maybe once. Like you guys were fucking lightweight anyway when you could of just been killing shit skating.
-
It’s the fact that he’s pushing people off the road for no good reason except to fill his ego. [..]
The clip is only about this, not about the actual hill bomb that they don’t actually show much of.
Sorry I don't want to lack of respect, but, it sounds like you just discovered internet, easy filming and social media.

it's certainly not the worst thread that has popped up in UWT in the last few months and it looks like opinions are pretty divided on the subject really.
Sure, you can't debunk an opinion, but again if you think cuck is being overly ridiculous surely you could tear apart his responses to you or simply not give enough of a fuck to reply at all.

it seems like they are being painted with a pretty broad brush...of course the BR bullshit was ridiculous but was every member of the crew present and actively involved? Does everyone in the crew have to sign off on every IG post? The bottom line is these dudes skate & live a wild way and it is hard for some of us to comprehend. There are plenty of skaters out there that have the ability to ollie high enough to get on a 20+ rail, jump down a set or bomb a hill but not all have the mental ability to overcome the mind fuck of knowing the consequences if you fuck up. Of all the fucked up shit going down in this world right now I think skaters riding in the street is pretty low on the list. Dudes like these are the reason I'm still hyped on skating - not some 16 y/o that can rip at the berries.

I knew a girl once who told me her father became an abusive alcoholic after a reckless cyclist fell under the wheels of his car. He wasn’t charged, it was ruled an accident, dude has been drinking himself to death ever since.
I couldn’t give a shit about public property, or fucking up some rich white SF dude’s planter. I don’t think your right to thrill seek is more important than people just tryina get home safe, but whatever. maybe I’m just biased against immature man-boys with lack of regard for others.
Also, I don’t see anything wrong in the clip. Making yourself seen is important when you’re trying to not get run over by a car. This doesn’t matter though because I doubt most of the dudes vehemently defending their masculinity by calling others soft actually bomb hills or engage in reckless skate behavior outside of SLAP.
Just curious, but would you care about fucking up some rich non-white dude's planter?
I'd find it hard to believe there's no techies with ethnic backrounds other than caucasian that got rich. Isn't at least one of the Google founders non-caucasian?

That's kind of beside the point. Whatever his position, he's a millionaire and he's non-caucasian. I don't think I'd care if his planter got fucked up since his salary is $200 million a year, but if it's a guy who owns a million dollar home (which is nothing in SF's market) I wouldn't consider him rich, and I'd think it's uncool to fuck up his planter at the least, it's certainly bullshit to get physical with him or do anything other than leave if he asks you to. But, I dunno, maybe if he had a MAGA sign in his yard then fuck 'em.

all sides of skateboarding are great. They aren't doing anything different than the guys before them. They're just better at documenting it.

GX1000 bombing hills in Gucci jackets is kinda lame yeh
But the notion of their insta clips creating some new osmosis, where skaters are now known as being "dangerous" is pretty funny
Watching the boys go into bomb hill mode after leaving some dude for dead was all I needed to see to know these guys were whack though
I don't know in which way bombing a hill in really expensive clothes would be lame. If it says anything is that they really don't care about it cause any slam will tear that shit to pieces.

I'm just as happy to wreck someones steps in North Philly as I would be to destroy someones planter in SF. I'm thinking about skateboarding not the financial position of the family's house I'm skating. If they came outside and told me to stop I might try one more time but I wouldn't add violence against a person to any part of that. But tr I would get way more enjoyment out of skating someones house if I knew they were a big wig for Google.
