Two things simultaneously:
On one end Pharrell's appropriation of skate culture made it more acceptable for hood kids to get into skateboarding without being fucked with as much. Skating does get noticeably blacker this side of 2005. Also some of the sketch American spots we start seeing in the late 00s is definitely a result of people recognizing skateboarding a bit more and not vibing them out.
On the flip side the skate community felt some kinda way with all the violations Pharrell was doing and doubled down on the many unwritten rules. While it may come off as less inclusive I think the kids that came in because of an interest in Bape or Ice Cream were taught to have way more reverence of skating than the boon of kids who came and went because of THPS.

Tupac and Biggie were both totally overrated. Both were corny and fake and neither deserved the reverence and praise in the hiphop community that they have garnered. Biggie was a fat disgusting slob who pretended to be a crack dealer and rapped about raping little girls. Tupac's 'I'm a wild ass thug but I'm also sensitive and caring and conscious, keep ya head up bitch' schtick made me sick. Dude should have never made it past doing the Humpty Dance in the background for Digital Underground. Biggie Smalls' raps had to be edited to cut out him gasping for air between every bar, he was too fat to have proper breath control. Both of their music catalogs sound totally dated compared to the music that's come since then, and honestly were never that interesting or exciting when they were fresh. I remember when I first heard the beats for 'Mo Money Mo Problems' and 'Changes' I thought they were gay club anthems like 'YMCA' or 'It's Raining Men.' Who's coming out? Tupac also strained to make his voice sound deeper on wax and it gives his voice an annoying breathy quality.

If you can do difficult tricks switch, you should be able to push switch. It is literally the most basic function of a skateboard.

Pretty Sweet is not as awful as people make it out to be. MJ's, CK's, and the AO/BA/Carrol section are very enjoyable to me and the video itself is actually filmed really well. It just suffered greatly from Ty's spastic jump-cut editing style and a LOT of unnecessary filler. Overproduction is another thing, but if the head of your production company is Spike fucking Jonze then it's going to get a more distinguishable production treatment than your average full-length video.
I'll also admit there are some extremely questionable music choices throughout and some people's parts were not good (ex. MikeMo). Other than that, watching Pretty Sweet in 2020 and comparing it to our current long-lens, zoom-in Strobeck era makes the current filming style of today look trite & tacky in comparison. The problem with Pretty Sweet is that it's awful aspects completely overshadow the good, but there are more redeemable qualities in it than people give it credit for. Overall, the video is more average/good than the worst skate video that has ever come out like some people overly exaggerate it to be.

Correct me if I’m wrong. I thought what happened was MJ said he was going to quit Lakai, Carrol was like “cool, but wait for these shoes to come out first”. Adidas put him in a weird damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation with announcing him early. MJ was salty he wasn’t getting paid by Lakai at this point (or massive paycut, I forget) and was like fuck it. Some Lakai dudes (not Carrol) were at the premier and felt blindsided so he lashed out on Jenkem about it.
Personally I always feel like the employer or CEO should take the more adult route. I’d understand if this was 1995 and no one has money; but if you're a millionaire and your dudes aren’t getting paid what they used to, them leaving under most situations should be accepted. Carrol could’ve kept the shit moving but used that announcement as a way to just vent about all the shit that pissed him off about MJ over the years.

I’m a fan, but objectively they are not great musicians and the only flow they managed to make work was ‘Ch-Check it Out’, where they finally found an off-kilter cadence that tied up their amateurish rhyming with Jr High school humor, and faux-old school beats and made it work perfectly, and sound like something of their own.
Everything else has parts of good songs. Some have great beats ahead of their time (Paul’s Boutique and Check your head), some have good rhyming (but usually mitigated by nasally high voices) but mostly they sound second-rate at everything they did.
That amateurish approach was endearing, but not anything near the skill and quality that came from all other areas of rap.

Grunge itself was a product of its time, but Nevermind really blew the door open for punk-adjacent bands to get exposure beyond their niche audiences. Even bands that have nothing to do with grunge cited a day and night change in their own audiences after Nevermind came out. It bums me out to know bands like Puddle Of Mud consider Nirvana such an influence cuz their singer seems like a misogynistic bonehead and Kurt was very much against that.Didn't mark arm say he was sorry for creating modern butt rock?
Though, a funny note about linking bands is that Nirvana’s biggest influence were the Melvins, but anytime any calls them the “godfathers of grunge” they always respond with “hey, don’t blame us for that”.

I agree with you to some extent. If you draw a long enough line, then we can attribute any band under a “rock” umbrella to Chuck Berry, and that doesn’t do much to explain a lot of what is going on in music. That’s why my Nirvana to Nickelback argument requires a much short line.
In the case of Nirvana, and to be fair we could really be talking about grunge music in general, they made a lot money for record labels in the early 90s. If I’m an A&R guy in the mid 90s, I’m just desperate to catch lightning in the bottle the same way labels did a few years earlier with grunge. So what does that lead me to do? Sign another heavier sounding rock band led by a singer with a groaning vocal, like Nickelback. It doesn’t have to be as good or as influential as Nirvana if it can pay the bills like Nirvana.
As for the Foo Fighters/Minor Threat thing, I agree. You don’t blame Minor Threat for The Foo Fighters just because Dave Grohl came up in the same scene. To me, those bands don’t really have as much in common stylistically. Lemmy was a huge Beatles fan but that’s not something you’d expect from listening to Motörhead.

From 18-20 I worked at this Leather/Fetish shop on capitol hill. Dave Grohl came in one day and bought some crazy shit. He was super nice and we talked about UFOs and stuff. I think this was around 2012-13 and he wrote his youtube channel down on a receipt for me. I dunno if hes still putting stuff on it but it was called O W L E G G S.

That Adidas shoe the test#2 is going to slay. I'm definitely interested in that.
The first shoe will likely do better I think. That robotech lookin shit is popping
Any of mine seem to piss of the guy kooking me for posting anything. I'd love to know what opinion of mine has got them on a kook bender. So I thought I'd give 'em a little bump of kookable comment and make their life feel more complete.
I like Dill.
I close my eyes and it's almost like listening to Olson on helium. Slightly more woke though. Like wake and bake woke.
Any way I watched that interview. The entire thing. We think about a lot of the same shit.
He said he hates slap and will never read this but
You should not talk about skid row from a place of privilege. That was not fucking going well at all then he swooped back to 9/11... I think it was unintentional to switch subjects and then try and tie those two together
I should make a nein club compilation of them just bashing the homeless.
They mostly crob seem to hate the homeless.
Also Your the fucking weirdo Jason. Slap rules. It's the only online thing I like honestly. The good the bad the ugly.

Second unpopular opinion like like Leo Baker. I really wish I had that orange F4 with the rose graphics in my collection. I'm not fucking with zoomers tho and I can't even afford a coffee.
Third I miss being able to pick up cigarettes and roaches off the ground and eating donuts and stuff from the trash or whatever. If you see someone outside with a coffee cup on a long stick all masked and gloves and shit plz give them some change.
Your trash has become inedible

I always thought greatly about heath and he was on par my favourite skater with reynolds.BamaHardy's story about Heath ascribed him to Marc Johnson status where I disavow all the cool shit I've seen him do in light of the real person he is hiding.
But the other day i rewatched Emerica Wild Ride. And my opinion changed.
There he feels super obnoxious and douchy and full of him self while being a pain in the ass to alot of people.
His "interrogation" thing after avoiding his team mates is super childish and cringey.
I don't like "shaped" decks including the newly resurfaced egg shapes.switching things up is never a bad idea.
I'm completely off them. I've had too many lately that were too weird and unskateable.
And I grew up skating in the 80s so this is a big revelation for me.

PALS who you use their special Kooking/Gnarring privileges to assert some kind of authority over non PALS are douchebags. You think anyone actually gives a shit about their “rep“ on a skateboarding forum?
Expand QuoteExpand QuoteI thought the Beastie Boys doc sucked. And they were the soundtrack to my skatelife 85-95.[close]
I’m a fan, but objectively they are not great musicians and the only flow they managed to make work was ‘Ch-Check it Out’, where they finally found an off-kilter cadence that tied up their amateurish rhyming with Jr High school humor, and faux-old school beats and made it work perfectly, and sound like something of their own.
Everything else has parts of good songs. Some have great beats ahead of their time (Paul’s Boutique and Check your head), some have good rhyming (but usually mitigated by nasally high voices) but mostly they sound second-rate at everything they did.
That amateurish approach was endearing, but not anything near the skill and quality that came from all other areas of rap.[close]
There's good rhymes on basically every album from Paul's Boutique to Hello Nasty, mainly in the Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication era. Specifically MCA had solid flow a lot of times. I would definitely not call it amateurish, just their own thing. Honestly for the late 80's and early 90's they were kinda on point - unless we're talking Tribe, De La Soul, or Public Enemy or something the rapping was probably kinda trash. We still had like LL Cool J type shit and Run DMC. This was a few years before Nas, Biggie, and Wu revolutionized shit. Fucking A the Beastie Boys had more solid flow than most of the guys in NWA.

This, Nas style of rhymes already was made by Rakim and Kool G Rap in late 80s.
Beastie boys is overrated and white privilege. How many black groups was better and hadnt the same recognition. Tribe, de la soul and the roots are better but underrated bands.
Breaking Bad was a dumb show too. My bad, I know the last episode was almost seven years ago.
I just finished Breaking Bad last week and thought it was amazing, although my standard for good TV is pretty low and I've seen fuck all seriesBreaking Bad is great, I watch the series ever couple of months. I would recommend Vampire Diaries for you next!

I liked Breaking Bad but it’s does tend to get too slow paced. Is Better Call Saul different?BCS is realllly slow paced it starts off good but quickly just gets very slow in the first two seasons.
better call saul sucks, breaking bad was way, way better
the brother's foil hat character is uninteresting and gets way too much screen time
it doesn't have the pacing that breaking did. within the first 2 minutes of the first episode of breaking bad you were drawn in and wanting to know how walter got into the situation he was in and many episodes had that structure
better call saul has none of this. it didn't have the intensity. it did have the charm or charism when it came to the charaters.
i've read the reviews, i know this isn't a common opinion but this is the right thread for that.
I like jarnes skateboarding but i find his little skits to be kinda cringe. Anyone else ?

A Tribe made 3 perfect albums in a row. You can listen all the songs without skip tracks. But beastie boys, man. They scream, dude. If you arent Busta, ODB, DMX or KRS One, dont scream, please!!

- I don't care for Mark Suciu, i think he has an average style, skates slow and doesn't hold his grinds.
- I actually like Dill as well, he may have fried his brain from drugs, but he's entertaining to listen to.
- Neen Williams is ok with me, i like his skating and doing pretty well for himself staying healthy.
- Beagle is awful filmer with terrible angles.
- Non skate related, i think the Beatles are the most overrated band, and i can't stand them. I think rock music still would have existed without them, i get tired of people saying they defined music.

Everything else has parts of good songs. Some have great beats ahead of their time (Paul’s Boutique and Check your head), some have good rhyming (but usually mitigated by nasally high voices) but mostly they sound second-rate at everything they did.

There's good rhymes on basically every album from Paul's Boutique to Hello Nasty, mainly in the Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication era. Specifically MCA had solid flow a lot of times. I would definitely not call it amateurish, just their own thing. Honestly for the late 80's and early 90's they were kinda on point - unless we're talking Tribe, De La Soul, or Public Enemy or something the rapping was probably kinda trash. We still had like LL Cool J type shit and Run DMC. This was a few years before Nas, Biggie, and Wu revolutionized shit. Fucking A the Beastie Boys had more solid flow than most of the guys in NWA.[close]
Have you ever considered different ways to listen to music other than the radio?? you know about cd's and mixtapes-demos I assume? The late 80's to early 90's is the highest point in history for this genre of music, from NYC to the south all the way to the west.

What a weird comparasion. the fact that band is older does not mean thats better. Wu is better than Run DMC, but Metallica is not better than Sabbath.
A Tribe made 3 perfect albums in a row. You can listen all the songs without skip tracks. But beastie boys, man. They scream, dude. If you arent Busta, ODB, DMX or KRS One, dont scream, please!!

- I don't care for Mark Suciu, i think he has an average style, skates slow and doesn't hold his grinds.
- I actually like Dill as well, he may have fried his brain from drugs, but he's entertaining to listen to.
- Neen Williams is ok with me, i like his skating and doing pretty well for himself staying healthy.
- Beagle is awful filmer with terrible angles.
- Non skate related, i think the Beatles are the most overrated band, and i can't stand them. I think rock music still would have existed without them, i get tired of people saying they defined music.

I always get an icky record industry pre-fab vibe from Led Zeppelin. However, Anytime I have listened to the records I realize my preconceived notion is just that of a snooty contrarian.
You just won’t hear me singing their praises aloud.
The Who however is straight garbage. The Stones wanted so much to be anything other than British, and I found their fascination in emulating American Blues tiresome. I do like them, but they exist as a stylistic doppelgänger of their black influences.
The Beatles covered so much ground sonically that it’s almost foolish to write them off entirely.
To me the Kinks were #1, with the Beatles a close second. The Kinks were so entirely authentic in the way in which they exude “Britishness”. It never felt like they wanted to be anything other than what they are, and the body of work in my opinion deserves its place amongst the conventional conversation.

This country has done nothing positive uplift those in desperate situations, maybe thrown them a bone or two with singing and artistry.
I mean look at how those that did finally pull themselves up and made something out of themselves Huey P Newton if they weren't willing to jump and do a jig for the white man to earn their paycheck they're ousted as a rapist or pedophile which I am in no way dismissing the victims albeit R Kelly and Cosby but there is an insidious way they've kept those persons of ethnicity in line.

Why cant people be proud to be white without being labeled racist but if I'm all about black power it's fine. I'm asking for you crackkkkkkkas

yes. your concept of proudness seems distorted. so is therefore your perception of reality.
The inner struggle to suppress this cognitive dissonance inevitably leads to delusion about your environment.
Symptoms: racism, resp. being proud to be white.
You can even quote definition of psychosis from wikipedia here:
Psychosis is an abnormal condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not. Symptoms may include false beliefs (delusions) and seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear (hallucinations). Other symptoms may include incoherent speech and behavior that is inappropriate for the situation.
Ask any black person how one of this facts does not fit on you when you tell him you are proud to be white. and that you have all the right to be proud to be white because you are white. and that's something you actually are. so you are legitimated to feel proud about being white.

just rewatched photosynthesis and just don't get it other than the cohesive, solid habitat section. the editing is choppy, uneven, and doesn't commit to any style. there's way too many crooks and handrails and more than half of the tricks feel early 2000s in a bland way (one-ups, not innovation). the 'fashion' is awful - bright t-shirts and baggy pants. a lot of the music is alright, i guess. i grew up in this era so it's not a generational thing. i love mind field and memory screen (haven't seen timecode yet), and i feel they're superior in every single way.Time code is the best alien video.

Just curious, what do you think of as being the last new trick the way you define it? Because you could make an argument that any new trick is a combination of something done previously if you tried hard enough and could push this back like 20 years.

I get there are NBDs, and new combinations of tricks, and there's really only 3 axes you can spin a board, so we're inherently limited there.
Outside of the bennett grind, i haven't really seen a whole lot new grinds being done or flips that are new to the past 10-15 years.
But I'm just making a comment that just about skating now has shifted from where things were 10-20 years ago where there was an arms race for people to learn and stay relevant by learning all the new tricks that were being invented. Now, an invented trick is seen more as a side show and the skaters who are being taken seriously are the ones who do the same tricks that have been around for decades, but on bigger stuff / and in combination of other stuff.

Etnies videos are sick if you just want pure skating no bullshit. I think doogie is the only guy who’s part has any sort of vocals and even then there’s not much and it’s a way more instrumental heavy song. Aidan Campbell also shows up Sheckler in this video on that massive hubba he destroyed both of his ankles on for ETN a few years ago.

The skating was great, and anyone who's opinion matters would agree. However, a lot of people aren't really into Beirut and I personally didn't think the mirror section at the end really added much to the presentation. I get that it was a unique experience for him to plan out and coordinate, but as a viewer, it's just kind of felt anti-climactic.

Pontus' shoes just look like Simples, and if they are getting more ethically manufactured, that's rad but, otherwise I don't get the hype.Simple never made anything but cupsoles, strong wrong but I don’t get the hype either.

Although there has to be more to this story than I just drove by and he threw his skateboard into my car.Considering all the over 18 year olds I see riding scooters now a days (cringe), those would just be the new weapon if they discriminated against skateboards.

because shit is expensive, especially for a lot of kids. so they have to take what is there and affordable. even if that means its a brand/ design they don't support or want to be associated with or is just plain ugly. mostly the only way to get a certain brand/ color/ whatever is taking the leftover overly branded or printed or colored shit left in the sale box. I see no problem in their effort to look for a solution to anyway adapt it to their aesthetics or to even just get comfortable with it. when I think about it, I even appreciate the extra mile.
But if you got a bunch of Blind reaper decks for free, you would definitely be tempted to razor blade that graphic off immediately every time you set one up.

Do you really think this or are you just not into his skating or the way he dresses? The dude sells a ton of boards and generates a ton of interest without having a social media presence (aside from the fan pages people make for him).

I just legitimately don't think he is near good enough. If you strip away the slappy/ride on shit from his parts he has very little content of that caliber board sales or not.
I think if someone wanted to make a 10-part docu-series like "The Last Dance" for a skateboarder and their career, the most compelling person to do it on would be Jamie Thomas. I'm not even a Jamie Thomas fan, but I think you would need at least half a dozen hours of interviews to fully unpack the unorthodox approach he took to becoming successful in the skate industry.

He did one slappy (after a ledge trick trick) and no ride on stuff in his Dancing On Thin Ice part. He did, however, do a lot of high caliber stuff I haven't seen anyone else do, including 360 flip and backside nollie over a street gap landing on a corner, and nosegrind a tree root.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteKevin Rodriguez has no business being pro.[close]

People should stop putting so much emphasis on their truck set-ups and skate more.
Your trucks suck because you don’t skate enough to break them in and get used to them.

100% agree. i've been catching myself slowly getting caught up in this lately. i'm pretty new to skating and i really like hearing about all the technical aspects of set-ups but i've noticed myself looking for reasons i'm not riding like i want rather than just practicing more or forcing myself to get used to it. in my experience thus far decks are a more important nit-picky thing but not to the extent that trucks are.Same with wheelbase etc. IMOExpand QuoteHere’s my unpopular opinion:

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. It’s been almost 10 years since the sort of Polar/Cherry/Bronze/Palace explosion shifted the industry to be a little less California-centric and now we are definitely seeing a little bit of a glut in the other direction. Gritty/VX/no-comply type skating has become its own set of cliches.
HOWEVER I am more convinced than ever that SoCal footage is just less interesting from a visual perspective. Compare footage from a SoCal schoolyard/rail/gap against anything from NYC/Paris/London etc and there’s quite literally less going on in the frame with the California footy. Fewer pedestrians, fewer businesses, fewer awnings, less cracks in the sidewalk, fewer cobblestones, etc. Not to say one is definitively “better” than the other, but I personally get a lot more hyped when I see onlookers gawking, cars going by, etc.
I think there’s an argument to be made that the clean framing of a SoCal spot showcases the skating more fully since there are no distractions, and that’s fine. But for me I relate much more to the experience of getting out in the streets than I do to sailing across a sterile concrete desert.

I think there’s an argument to be made that the clean framing of a SoCal spot showcases the skating more fully since there are no distractions, and that’s fine. But for me I relate much more to the experience of getting out in the streets than I do to sailing across a sterile concrete desert.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. It’s been almost 10 years since the sort of Polar/Cherry/Bronze/Palace explosion shifted the industry to be a little less California-centric and now we are definitely seeing a little bit of a glut in the other direction. Gritty/VX/no-comply type skating has become its own set of cliches.

Damn, this is exactly how I feel. 100% relate more to the experience of stepping out your front door and pushing down a city street than driving to big isolated spot to do a single trick. Definitely more interested in a vibrant, busy backdrop to skating, too... I also think it's more visually appealing and doesn't necessarily distract from the skating. Has more life and texture. If anything, I think the skating can really stand out or be highlighted in a city setting, especially if it's a line done through a busy plaza or something bc the skater is moving through the frame in a unique way compared to everyone else. Jazz usually fits pretty well to this kind of scene for many reasons...
I'm thinking Horses is just sick of the more cliched examples in the vx/underground direction or maybe how popular that style has become in skate videos. There will always be two ends of the spectrum.

This is true. I made a comment in a thread probably 6 months ago, in a thread about a Japanese VX clip, and how it looks like every other Japanese clip, all filmed at night, all doing 'non' tricks, filmed like complete shit. Sure it was kind cool at the time of the emergence of small brands at the turn of the decade, but it hasn't really evolved at all, and looks as stale as someone locking into a 50-50 on at a long kinked rail outside a stadium in San Diego, in my opinion.
As for the style of skating I like, not sure, but my favourite skaters right now are - Chris Jones, Rory Milanes, Cyrus Bennett, Nick Michael, Kyle Wilson, Josh Pall, Ben Lawrie.

i i never really got metallica. to me they always sounded soft, overproduced, and more cringe than hard. no idea why they should be one of the best metal bands of all time. to me that's stadium rock at best. the border to foofighters is fluid.kill em all is good, especially for it's time.

really? when i first heard Battery it was the heaviest thing ever
i guess if you know heavy music before you know metallica then it makes sense you dont consider them heavy BUT even today the first few albums have some big ass songs! Kill Em ALL is a beast
while im here, Black metal is just noise - it literally sounds shit on purpose, so it makes perfect sense the trendy style over substance brands have jumped on its band wagin.

Two tricks I will never, ever like no matter how big or gnarly they are: backside boardslides and frontside shuvs
I really hate when magazines will post a clip on Instagram, and than direct all traffic to their site to watch it, even though they have nothing to do with the video. Free Skateboard Magazine is the worst at it. Shit, even Thrasher made a post to click in Johnny Wilson's bio for a link as opposed to going to Thrasher, Free Skateboard Magazine will always tell you to go to their site. It's just lazy.

mid 90’s mike v was actually a good street skater and then for unknown reasons he decided to “stand strong” and make a living rolling around on the ground holding a skateboard

^Skateboard brands are more about aesthetics and who you have riding for you. Just look at Girl. Who would think that a brand named Girl with a logo of a women's bathroom sign would work for a product that is primarily marketed towards adolescent males. Yet, it became one of the defining brands in skateboarding. Because they had Spike creating the aesthetic in the videos, plus a ton of the top riders in the world it worked.
fa was just dills attempt at a cash grab to capitalize on bape style fashion, all over print and stuff. i remember that everyone, especially on here, thought it was ridiculous. it got shitted on to no end. that was when, 2006 or 07. then it went under and after he quit alien he resurrected it as his board brand. i don't know if i read the same interview as you, jgonzales, but i read one in some german graffiti/street culture mag, so no skate publication. dill basically shat all over his own brand in that interview, i remember i found it super weird. it was basically like "yeah, i started to make these dumb ass clothes that i sell for ridiculous prices at supreme, haha. the aesthetic sucks, but people are stupid and love it anyway, haha."
name of the mag is stylefile, couldn't find the interview on the internet unfortunately or i would have provided a link. but this is how i remember him coming off like.

Deafheaven and the whole metalgaze thing is extremely lame. However if someone is into it when they’re young I feel they deserve a pass because it’s musically extremely similar to all the embarrassing screamo and post-rock I listened to when I was a teenager in the early 00s (just with more blast beats). Now if they don’t grow out of it by age 30 or so, that’s extremely cringe.I went to school with two of those dorks from Deafheaven, me and my friends made fun of them so bad they got mad and got their asses kicked by the weakest dude in our group that band fucking sucks.Expand QuoteHey now Sunbather has a few good ones despite being kinda mainstreamExpand QuoteDeafheaven sucks, like Urban Outfitters if they had a metal label.[close][close]

But it's not unpopular to say someone's clothing and style affects how people perceive them. You could say the same about Chad Muska, Andrew Reynolds and Tom Penny. There might have been other skaters who came and went that could do all the tricks they could, but certain skaters have a unique silhouette that makes them special.
