I just want to say that this kid is THE shit, like I do in every thread about him.
It's sad that careerist boomers try and put him in that "instagram skater" box. I think he's one of the most exciting dudes out, period, regardless of the medium he chooses.

Explain what he does that’s exciting. I find him very underwhelming considering the hype.

Have you scrolled his instagram lately? the dude is skating 4 blocks like it's a curb. skates that berlin double set like it's his local skatepark 5 stair. doing the craziest shit on a tuesday or whatever, shit that would be in the last minute of most legacy pros thrasher parts, and dropping it straight on instagram. Plus, his flip tricks are done so lazily and he's legitimately doing some tricks nobody is doing.
In summary, going huge while still being creative and having the most laid back style.
If he was just doing no comply variations or skating Venice park i would agree there's not much here. but this dude is in the streets and risking life and limb but looking like he's not even trying. idk how people can write him off

+1. he flips his board too much and uses too much rap music in his edits. I don't like it when young people skate way better than me. it makes me feel angry and jealous. he must come from a rich family who paid for a coach to make him good at skateboarding. these people are ruining skating for fat old guys like me who don't really skate but like to collect iron cross stuff.

No way in hell is he risking life and limb and his “laid back style” is the most forced ever. He’s super talented for sure but there are plenty of better skaters.

Damn homie you ridin this same shtick in this thread too? Lmao

This kind of skating is still cool? His 15 minutes aren’t up yet? Boomers are 100% right. I’m glad this skating only exists on Instagram. Even the cringiest of skateboarding (Fallen Footwear, skinny pants, energy drink skaters) doesn’t come close to being as daft or as tasteless as trendy postmodern insta skating that has somehow endured this long since it started taking off in 2017. Versace Plug is the most talented trendy kid. That’s not setting the bar very high. His edits are incredibly redundant and his trick selection is laughably predictable.
-

He's jumping down big shit man. That Kulturforum is a 4 flat 3 and he's skating that constantly.
“laid back style” is the most forced ever
I think you just don't like it, so you call it forced. That's fair. But I think he actually skates like that.
Besides, even if he is forcing it, i think it looks fucking great that he basically does not engage his arms above his shoulders. He's a good faker if he can keep up the "act" going backside down a 4-flat-3.
He’s super talented for sure but there are plenty of better skaters.
Yeah I agree, nyjah is "better" than him. My point was never that he was the "best" (whatever the fuck that means), but rather that he gets put in an "novelty instagram skater" box by old people when he shouldn't be.

100%, mofuckers on here saying miles silvas is faking style down wallenberg. if one can fake his style going this big, than it is 1) not faked or 2) he's even better than that.

in my opinion hes pretty damn good and everbody should try to relax their body while doing tricks. ive realized when i was younger that i learn to do lots of tricks when i just act like a pro doing it if that makes sense. just trying to not overthink it, but my feet and my body like a pro would and leave my body relaxed.
i dont think its faking your style, what style is even natural? like a natural heat kichard andrew reynolds esque style?
its really easier to do tricks that way thats why you see people doing yo flips.
i also think learning yo flips will give you a better board feel skating street and you can build doing your tricks the right way around that (not doing them anymore, just when i was a kid and i had a pretty good flat ground and wouldnt care what older people would think of it)
otherwise i dont think we would see people doing fs 360 shovits or treflips down massive gaps. the front foot catch.
-
I don’t get the hype. Why is he special?
-

He’s Penny-esque in his style, and I don’t say that lightly.
He's not even close to Penny.
The only people for me that came close to that relaxed nonchalant style have been William Phan, and early 2000's Appleyard.
-
but i understand the hate. hes the perfect opposite of the 30 year old almost retired skateboarder that fetishizes the perfectly normal fitting pant leg doing only ollies and kickflips. maybe bs 180 manuals. skating like a man you know.
-
Dude only loves jumping down stairs/gaps and thats sick if you’re 15yrs old, but for me theres little to no style and grace in his skating.
-
He’s cool and skates really well, so stop kidding yourself.
Every single one of you bitching would probably feel embarrassed if you met him irl.

Talked about for like a week and then moved on. Which isn’t a long time at all. It got like 3/4 pages worth of discussion (thanks updated Slap for showing the threads at the bottom of the page, which made this a lot easier to check).

Sorry gods but this dude is fucking nuts at skateboarding and that Flytecc video was insane. He may not be everyones cup of tea but if you like good skateboarding and are not just stuck on thinking there will be nothing better than Mouse (that vid is all time but stop refusing evolution) you can at least acknowledge the dudes skill and style.
-
He's good at the tricks he does except he basically is doing 75% of the same ones just at different spots in every part. He's not in same stratosphere as Miles Silvas at skating.
-
Versace Plug’s brother should be more famous than him. Dude has better style, trick selection, editing, etc.

if youre referring to me, then thats not what i said. i just wanted to recite someone on here saying miles silvas was faking his style while doing a fucking switch back heel at wallenberg. same logic with hyun kummer. i

Two great skaters but neither are remotely reminiscent of Penny. Weird take honestly.
Appleyard is such a solid and clean skater, not loose at all.
William Phan skated slow and tic tac’ed.
Also neither of them even have the same bag of tricks.
Penny was asleep at the wheel, much like our boy V. Plug.

Current Hyun Kummer is like a thousand times more talented and able than current Tom Penny, who is somehow still sponsored. The only person in skateboarding who was able to stretch a 5-year phenomenal career into a lifetime of milking it.
That being said, I don’t see how different they are. Even in his prime all Penny did was basically 10-15 same tricks down gaps and on transition. It seems like both of them are equally consistent at them and look good doing them. So once again, don’t see that much difference here.
Embarrassed why? Because you wouldn’t be able to hang? Because you’re not even close to being as good as anybody in the flytecc edit? You can say that’s not why you’d be embarrassed, but you know that what I said is still true.

i know i will get shit for saying this, but
bet penny couldnt do some of those tricks he does vice versa
if penny did the switch flip at the berlin double set yall would be on his dick so bad
but because he came up on instagram, a platform some of you feel to old for, like tiktok for me personally, you want to talk down on his skill set? doesnt make sense to me.
if this was filmed on vx and came 10-20 years earlier im sure it would be a total different story.
and for those saying he does the same tricks over and over: he didnt do a single trick twice in his flytecc section.
he switch hardflipped the berlin 8 that i was too scared to ollie after 16 years of skating.
also fakie flipped it. nollie flip. nollie heel. nollie bs heel. nollie bs flip.
and all of those are properly popped and not some american skatepark prodigy nick holt bullshit.

Penny definitely switch flipped some big stuff back in the day and he definitely had a big bag of tricks. I’m from SoCal and I’ve seen lots of pros around and honestly no one has ever been that far ahead of the game as he was when I saw him skate in 1995. But that being said this kid is good. No need to overstate it. Also Instagram is fine. Who cares

Back in the day me and my boys would buy all the flavors of airheads, put them on a paper plate and microwave them for 45 seconds. It would turn into this tie dye gooey mush that we would all pass around like a blunt/joint, it was pretty good we called it AirHead Casserole.

If you can "force style" on giant doubles and gaps then more power to him. He's not an instagram park skater so get that out here.
Think of this way, when I was younger wearing skinny jeans and striped shirts was kooky. That's how i look at this whole 90s revival look with skaters, they are just kooky skaters and that's why skating is great. It allows you to be kooky, so lighten up there would you.

its not even kooky. its celebrating life and youth culture. its like dancing and having fun.

im skating since 2002. ive been on my highest skill level 5 years ago and since then i havent learned that many new tricks and skate like once a month. im trying to find joy in other things than skating, it makes me enjoy watching skateboarding again from a different point of view.
i dont freak out when i dont land a trick. i dont get mad at people trying to look like skateboarders.
i dont hate good skateboarders with bad styles.
but what i do hate are dogged skateboarders that never had their time, boring as shit to look at because they are so normal and full of hate because nobody ever gave them recognition and a hug.
i know you are making fun of my comment but english isnt my first language and i meant it how i said it.
whenever i see people skate its like dancing to me plus raw youth culture. the clothing. the trends. its what makes it stick in my brain after all those years. without it it would be like some white people sport like bouldering or biking.
taking it back to topic.
hyun to me is the definition of youth right now.
his crew doesnt seem like the BRO CALIFORNIA BLOND WHITE GRILS SPEED AND BREW posse like
so many other crews in skateboarding. he knows whats cool, has interesst in different thing besides skating which you can see in his style. he's like a skating anime character and it appeals to other kids in europe and around the world.
-
I do get the Instagram skaters hate, is normal for some of our generation, but this guys doesn´t bother me at all, not my fav, not looking forward his next part or something but he skate very well. Also I rather see him skating than other instagram/berrics/youtube sensation like the stanceless guy from venice or those youtubers that cries because thrasher wont let the advertise their brand or post their videos full or skatepark tricks in it.
IDK

Think of this way, when I was younger wearing skinny jeans and striped shirts was kooky. That's how i look at this whole 90s revival look with skaters, they are just kooky skaters and that's why skating is great. It allows you to be kooky, so lighten up there would you.
You’re going to tell me this shit isn’t fake?

I just want to say that this kid is THE shit, like I do in every thread about him.
It's sad that careerist boomers try and put him in that "instagram skater" box. I think he's one of the most exciting dudes out, period, regardless of the medium he chooses.
Explain what he does that’s exciting. I find him very underwhelming considering the hype.
Have you scrolled his instagram lately? the dude is skating 4 blocks like it's a curb. skates that berlin double set like it's his local skatepark 5 stair. doing the craziest shit on a tuesday or whatever, shit that would be in the last minute of most legacy pros thrasher parts, and dropping it straight on instagram. Plus, his flip tricks are done so lazily and he's legitimately doing some tricks nobody is doing.
In summary, going huge while still being creative and having the most laid back style.
If he was just doing no comply variations or skating Venice park i would agree there's not much here. but this dude is in the streets and risking life and limb but looking like he's not even trying. idk how people can write him off

lol at that "evidence", you can say he fakes it, fair enough, i think it is unlikely given the "forcing" arguemnt on big stuff, but this as an example? of course that is faked... have you never fucked around flat ground? even dime has a whole challenge about faking stuff, its fun. as fun it is not to be taken seriously

I'm not a fan of this dude. He is talented, but so is Jagger Eaton who is beyond lame.
Simply being good at the physical act of skateboarding doesn't make someone a good skater.
I think my biggest issue is simply his image, which doesn't really appeal to me. His terrible (un-ironic?) nickname and his image seem to be based in superficial conspicuous consumption.

Just gotta say you're trying way to hard to sound smart and sophisticated on here latley. We need to run a counter on the word 'simply' on all your posts, I bet the word simply is in the 100's.
But whatever all that lol, you cannot confuse swag for talent I deff draw a line in the sand between those two. Like Jagger's talent is actually being a 'good' skateboarder and Versacegang or whatever is having swag, drip, handssdown steez, ankletwerkz, Versace squad style landings, making a mob nollie flip look lit. Ya know shit like that

“laid back style” is the most forced ever
I think you just don't like it, so you call it forced. That's fair. But I think he actually skates like that.
Besides, even if he is forcing it, i think it looks fucking great that he basically does not engage his arms above his shoulders. He's a good faker if he can keep up the "act" going backside down a 4-flat-3.

Yeah I agree, nyjah is "better" than him. My point was never that he was the "best" (whatever the fuck that means), but rather that he gets put in an "novelty instagram skater" box by old people when he shouldn't be.
Totally agree with you, man. I'm an older skater and i dig seeing his clips. I think his laid back style is exciting.

He has been skate primitive boards like a year now. What this dude do for living? Or did he get paid for skating?
Korean old money. Rich parents.
+1. he flips his board too much and uses too much rap music in his edits. I don't like it when young people skate way better than me. it makes me feel angry and jealous. he must come from a rich family who paid for a coach to make him good at skateboarding. these people are ruining skating for fat old guys like me who don't really skate but like to collect iron cross stuff.
"too much rap music" LMFAOO YOUR COVERT RACISM IS SHOWING BRO WHAT ARE YOU, 40? you're probably one of those dudes who wishes everyone skated to morrissey or some weak shit like that lol

i promise you that i was not making fun your comment. i honestly loved it. reading it was like walking through a small park in a busy city. i really do think that comment is amazing. i don't bully nice people and i dont want you feel like i'm bullying you. if you want me to remove it from my signature just say the word (you can dm me) and i will. but i swear that any joy i took from your comment was out of love for it.
I love you too
This was a very nice moment and it made me feel good. This is some of that positivity we need in here

I like the way this kid skates. Not my favorite but he’s plenty good enough to legitimize ig skating. I just think he looks like a tool even pretending to like not only Versace - overrated af but actually got some decent designs as well - but fucking LV is the fucking line man. LV hav never made one good looking *anything* ever. So I’ll watch this guy but I’ll never in a million years rep him. Wear something that’s actually cool, clever or nice, not some bullshit wannabe upwardly mobile pleather trash. Every time LV puts that logo on some plastic wallet they are laughing so hard at anyone who would buy it. And then, if you have the $$Ks to spend they ruin perfectly good leather with that same tramp stamp logo. Piffle.

Ginwoo is like 8 years old and flipped out of a front blunt on a handrail yesterday….
Please don’t ever compare this point toe fast flipper to Tom penny
Tom penny is the float god.
Hyun eye fucks the camera when he lands his trick a lot
-
Tom penny is at the level of art in which few painters or musicians reach
It’s not about the notes they are playing but the ones they’re not.
No one will ever have the patience Tom has. best street skater of all time
Hyun is spazzy which isn’t bad but it’s like comparing glen fox to Tom penny. Just cuz you can big flip a 10 stair doesn’t make u Tom

its obvious that (in this instance at least) he is hanging his leg back and yo-ing it out because it looks wild. obviously that not how he does em from "factory". if you cant understand this dude i feel bad for ya.

What if he spelled his last name with a c instead of a k? Man that would be hilarious.

This guy is the same as andy shrock but wears trendy shoes and puts trap music in his clips.

No, and if you aren’t trolling I feel bad for you

Both not good enough to be a paid professional but still want to make an income off skateboarding so they start their own company.
Both gained a huge following clueless teens by posting trending videos on the internet.
Both have extremely bad taste and started a company with terrible art direction.
Same person

why did u need two posts for that?

Kid is insanely talented, no doubt. Not for me though, agree that his style feels forced or maybe that's he trying to hard. And the 'music' he uses is fucking painful.
Would still rather watch him over other Instagram skaters like that skategoat dude though.

dude... the slams this guy takes are unreal. what is there not to like. no one else going switch 30km/h like this guy is. its like AVE speeds on switch. WHO ELSE IS DOING THAT?!?

Wait, so you believe that starting a board company will help someone 'make an income off skateboarding'?
Also, Hyun's skating is not just for 'clueless teens'. He is on the same level as a lot of paid professionals if you really understand skateboarding, buddy.

Well when you're right, you're right.
But it's it possible to hate both? Because that's what I'm gonna do.

Yeah not sure the Versace critics are hyping over Aiden Mackey

I have nothing against the kid, but I'm too old to watch trap instagram shit, the kid is clearly very good, hope the best for him always, but not my taste, will always jump his part doesnt matter the vid, watch 1x only to see what he did and never watch again lol

aidan mackey is scott malkinson is he still pro somewhere
