That boy funny
His vocal timbre is unfortunate, but he has good takes. His skating is about at the level of pro-for-Frog, which I did not expect.
He's the content cop (idubbz) of skateboarding minus the very edgy jokes. It's straight forward criticism against the "wholesome only no criticism allowed!!" skate subcommunity.
I guess you could say he's a necessary "evil" even though nothing he uploads is actually evil or toxic. I am a huge fan since I'm so sick of the previously mentioned subcommunity. I also find it hilarious that he's actually an insanely good flow skater which can back up all the criticism he says.

That's my main complaint too. His more recent videos seem to be a lot more focused on memes, for example his slide tier list which is about 30% just him talking about water slides. The memes can add a lot to his videos when used in moderation, so I hope he doesn't push it further as I really like his content the way it is.
He's stated multiple times that he is doing this for entertainment. If you're taking any of it seriously in any capacity you should probably dial it back a bit.

Yet to disclose my bias, I am anti vlogging. I find it to degrade the culture (and other cultures I engage with) as a whole because it panders to the goldfish brain and recycles content (akin to why I don’t support reposting on social media). Ultimately if people want to watch it, they’re going to watch it. If they like it they like it. Some people read tabloids willingly.
Do you, I’ll be out skating after watching a part before talking about it.
I like you gifted hater but you love Tyler Bledsoe a little too much

Exposed skate pussy and her sister for the frauds they are. "Pro skater" with the name "skate pussy". Fuck you your goat humping sister. GH deserves a pulitizer for that shit.
all of his content comes from the right angle. his view on things are great. he isn't afraid to talk shit about anyone who's promoting bad stuff wether its core brands or nike. hes lived through the years of skate trends and nbds with us like an old lost friend.He is only 24. He hasn't lived thru shit.
him being good at skating gives him the self-consciousness to talk about stuff the way he does.
i tent to disagree with him on trick and style choices and stuff outside of skateboarding.
he tents to be so overly ironic sometimes that you could say hes hiding behind it to not ever be "not cool" when you look back at it (listening to dubstep f.e.)

I back him but he did recently say he hasn't seen Video Days which seems kind of crazy for the amount he talks about skateboarding.
I really like the podcast he has with his homies
I guess I just don't think he has that much skate knowledge. Or if he has watched tons of videos hasn't really put them in any historical context (knows what was generally happening at the time of the video). Also It's not skating but he calls nyjahs disco fever 70s suit Austin Powers which is not even close to the right fashion. Not even the right decade. That sort of thing just bugs me.

watched him play 2 games of SKATE on dumb data's channel. i'mma keep it nifty on 50, hater's got flatground guns. more interesting to me is dumb data. dude crunches numbers and has a sort of knowledge about skating but then he doesn't know a noseblunt from a noseslide. or he thought weck's nose manual didn't count because he popped a trick out nollie as opposed to pressure nollie off the end. and he called a fs 180 nosegrind a 'fs 180 to bs nosegrind'. sounds like he really knows as much about skating as you can from videos, video games and maybe friends who skate.Yeah I notice he gets tricks wrong constantly. Even taking account for the different ways people name tricks he still comes out with some bogus names. I'd have to give him a pass just based on the volume of stuff he has to say.
is there a dumb data thread?

Kid has one of the better British accents i've heard from an American in a while.
I started watching this kid at some point during the pandemic while I was home and immobile from surgery... I'm automatically a fan of any skate rat that's willing to stir the pot, and along with him causing me to genuinely laugh, I was also really impressed on his grasp on skate history for being such a young cat.
YT is basically my television, and I'm just too old to enjoy those crispy clean skater vlogger kids... his content is really refreshing to have when scrolling past thumbnails of uninspired skate-related drivel to help feed the YT algorithm.

Being basically the only transition-based Youtuber (apart from Chad Caruso), I used to really like Zack Dowdy. His trick tips were good, he seemed cool and I liked his general outlook (Al Brunelle also fucking rips). This would probably be 2020-ish. As soon as he moved to daily/much more frequent uploads though, I think he dropped off significantly. His videos became much more low effort and way more 'Youtubey'. A shame, really.
Also I find it infuriating when he says "You guys'es opinion", lol.
My favourite skate Youtuber bar none is Jon Bishop. He is a 47 year-old English geezer who started skating at 44. He is a bit corny (not in the usual click-bait Youtube way, though), but I am here for it. His progression, dedication and obvious love of skateboarding is, for me, highly inspirational. The guy is a legend. He skates transition (like me) and is currently learning to skate vert.

The video on FA is the best content he’s put out. His thesis is solid and he breaks it down in a thoughtful way. He should do more videos like that.

Yea, he took a hit on his image with that one tbh. He already seemed like a whiny little hipster cali kid, but I generally respected his takes so I still watched his shit. This kinda just seems like a don't dish it if you can't take it scenario though, pretty lame. He literally came at the entirety of dumb data's youtube format, which may be boring but whatever. Dumb data pointed out one aspect of haters channel and GH got all bent out of shape over it. Ugh, just take it on the chin and admit swag tier lists and most of youtube skateboarding content is kinda cringe and you're just doing it to try and make some money and move on. Don't brand yourself as a hater and fold as soon as you get a tiny amount of legitimate criticism.

From a video perspective, I always felt that when the FA and Quasi dudes left Alien, they helped themselves to the aesthetic on the way out the door. Even if Mike Hill wasn't solely responsible for the feel of Photosynthesis, Mind Field, Cinematographers etc., those were all children of Memory Screen.
What got me was I always thought Jake, Tyler, and Gilbert owned it with Chad and they just let him run the brand so they can skate. When I learned it’s just Chad that owns it I didn’t see why I had to support. I loved the end of AWS and yes he was the team manager but to me it was Benny Maglinao and Ave/Dill that made that brand what it was at the end.Expand QuoteFrom a video perspective, I always felt that when the FA and Quasi dudes left Alien, they helped themselves to the aesthetic on the way out the door.

Sometimes I find some of his takes amusing, but at the end of the day I just don't think the internet needs another person taking up bits and pixels to point out the bad in things.

Feedback was sorta amusing in a parody sense a lot of the times, but sometimes was in this vein as well. I think it is amusing that a skater that talks about inclusiveness and stuff spends most of his time tacitly ripping on other skaters.

Why do they dress badly on purpose?
I've kinda commented this before but the problem is he's not a kid. He's in his mid 20s. And yes people in general are less mature than they were a decade ago but still. Also he often talks shit on how he used to dress and once again it's a timing thing but he dresses so much worse now.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteThe youthful irony of looking like a dip shit toExpand QuoteWhy do they dress badly on purpose?[close]

It’s like that Seinfeld quote that your adult style is how you dressed on the best year of your life. So for him it looks like about 6th grade.I didn't know that was a Seinfeld quote I've heard a similar thing but instead of best year of your life it's you always dress like the time you had the most sex. (I guess there's probably a pretty big overlap) I think there's just this weird thing how people now in their 30s clothes choices tended to get more regular as they got older but it means younger people wore that sort of fashion when they were younger. So the two age groups associate those clothes with their goofy years.
But honestly seems like a fine person, just that the concept has kinda lost its surprise/allure and is sorta losing its steam and becoming a bit trite.
Dress however you feel comfortable. Whatever makes you smile and treat others with respect. Be 40 and dress like a 2022 teenager. Be 22 and dress like a 50 year old accountant I don't give a shit.Goddamn that really is the vibe nowadays ;D ;D

I don't understand this 'criticism' at all... talking about someone and harassing them are two different things and trying to avoid your fandom weaponizing themselves is the mature thing to do.

Do you think they're going to spill their secrets to Gifted Hater for all of YouTube to see? What do you think everyone on Slap is doing everyday? We're all just inferring shit and speculating, he's just not hiding behind an avatar.

i know FA riders aren't gonna say shit about the details. my point is that with (specifically his drama videos) he's stirring the pot. If you stir the pot you cant expect no negative repercussions from your viewers. you can't stir the fuckin pot and expect nobody to react to it, regardless of a disclaimer. those disclaimers are just for him to defend against culpability which i find to be ingenuine
also theres a difference between slap anons talking shit and a large youtuber with a 50,000+ skaterboi NPC's regurgitating the gifted haters opinions. its stupid how many people refuse to think for themselves
EDIT: i guess to further clarify my opinions, i fucking hate all drama related content and think that it's the cancer of this earth. like theres no reason to butt your opinions into another persons business even if they make it public. the "mature" thing to do is to ignore petty drama all together if you wanna bring maturity into the equation

next time he makes a drama video, look at the instagram comments of the latest post of the people he talks about. im willing to bet those people don't have slap accounts
anyways, i dont really care enough about him to continue posting on this thread. in summary i dont really fw him anymore for the reasons above. if he made videos reviewing skate parts/videos again, i would probably subscribe. too bad he put a paywall for that on patreon

I don't understand this 'criticism' at all... talking about someone and harassing them are two different things and trying to avoid your fandom weaponizing themselves is the mature thing to do.
Also, do you think the FA riders are all going to actively, openly talk about what goes on behind the scenes? Do you think they're going to spill their secrets to Gifted Hater for all of YouTube to see? What do you think everyone on Slap is doing everyday? We're all just inferring shit and speculating, he's just not hiding behind an avatar. I don't love the dude and I don't agree with a lot of things he says but can respect the fact that he's being open, honest, and trying to avoid his fans becoming toxic in his name.[close]
he's stirring the pot. If you stir the pot you cant expect no negative repercussions from your viewers. you can't stir the fuckin pot and expect nobody to react to it, regardless of a disclaimer.[close]
100%. This dudes gotta tread lightly since a lot of people's livelihoods depend on the skate industry.
Skate shops have shut down for less...
Ex. You could make a video and say something is lame, then your 50000 subs eat that shit up and give them the braille treatment. But then a specific riders board sales might go down based off of that initial sentiment and then...

True you should only talk about things that happened in your life time. History is canceled
Also I’m not trying to take anything away from nguyen at all. It’s just those combo tricks aren’t my thing and I think dark slides are meh.Man that’s funny I actually think deftones are one of the rare bands that has managed to keep putting out halfway decent records even 20 years into their career. Not saying the new shit is anywhere near as good as the first 3 records, but I find it worth at least one or two listened whenever a new one comes out, which is more than I can say for a lot of bands this deep into their careers
There’s way better deftones songs too. Deftones kinda suck now. I got into them when adrenaline came out. To me it was like a form of post hardcore kinda. I thought how did this get on Madonna’s label.
The funny thing is we always compared them to Quicksand from early on.
We said it was like if Janes Addition FNM and Quicksand has a baby.
White Pony’s opening track reminds me of like Fugazi on mind altering drugs.
Around the fir was almost a perfect sleeper pop record and white pony also I enjoy though it brings up ugly memories. Some of those tracks are total shit. This one is way better than the other version.
The deftones now are total garbage. I seen them several times. Once I got to see them at axis because I won tickets. That show was killer.
In Boston the deftones was excepted buy lots of different scene kooks. The last time I saw them was with Dillinger Escape Plan.
I fucking hate gang violence. I was asked to let security handle it by the person I was with. They was in a wheelchair so I stayed up in the vip or whatever you call that spot stage right

I totally agree on the slight post-hardcore vibe. They had much more grounding in “real” underground music than most other nu metal. Rage Against the Machine is maybe the only other one that comes to mind where they had some credibility with HXC crowds.
Deftones ended up grabbing the bassist from Quicksand to fill in when their original bassist died a few years ago I believe. I think there are some interviews where they talk about being really bummed to get lumped in with the shittier nu metal, and that’s why White Pony got spaced out and druggy. They were into shoegaze and the smiths and shit. But sadly most of the interviews I’ve seen from em are more mainstream and done with a nu-metal perspective so they don’t really go deep on the more interesting stuff
Still haven’t seen em ever actually even tho I too was a fan since adrenaline. Should really try to see em, even if their peak years are far behind em.

I’d be into 20 something year olds dressing like this at the spot. Coffee always available and someone has those small packs of milk that don’t need to be refrigerated
Let me make the case for this aesthetic. Thrift stores are always full of suits ties and dress pants. Everyone is going for the 90s band tee dad jean ironic hat look. Chicks constantly comb the dude section for crap to resell but everyone ignores the suit section. Depop has exploded that look. Do something different and dress like an office worker.

She gained notoriety because Berra was mass posting her on the Berrics and I don't think she'd be getting so much hate and attention if it wasn't for him constantly posting her and then calling critics misogynist when he was called out for it.
One time she posted something on her IG story and you could clearly see a ton of cut scars on her wrists, no doubt caused from all the misdirected hate she gets online.

I think I remember him saying somewhere that he hadn’t seen Video Days (and had watched shockingly few older videos in general) and feeling a little momentarily outraged, haha. It’s just weird that for someone who thinks so much about skateboarding, he hasn’t invested much time into checking out any of its classic, foundational videos.
I say all that as a fan of his.

Noting that Pizza, Skate Mental, 3Block, and RipNDip use a wood shop is only going to make their argument that it's sub-par even stronger.I'd guess right(emphasis on guess). I feel like within skating people keep their conservative views a bit more quiet.
Also Ben keeps dropping passive aggressive comments about his politics lately. Is he fairly far right or far left? Hard to tell, seems the latter given his stance on protectionist arguments.

This is what happens when Capitalism is collapsing before your eyes, but you're willing to believe literally anything besides "hey maybe Capitalism is the issue" due to how that's been hammered into our heads as beyond the pale.
You see there are major major issues, but aren't given the tools or information to analyze what is happening. It makes people very understandably vulnerable to distrusting and scapegoating rather than viewing these issues through a lens of class consciousness.
I'm sure we all know people who have been lost to some level of conspiracy theories and it's very upsetting.
Loved the woodshop video with Ben.. my only gripe is they didnt mention how each shop measures their boards. There is a clear difference between a lot of boards and I thought they'd acknowledge that and make sense of it all
Some shops measures flat across the boards length and some shops measures through the concave

I'm sure we all know people who have been lost to some level of conspiracy theories and it's very upsetting.

That building took 20 years to build and cost 13 million ($308,066,967.21 today, mostly through graft and corruption that ultimately ended the corrupt career of Boss Tweed). Pls be careful
I went on to read about this Boss Tweed character on wikipedia after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_M._Tweed
the amount of racketeering and bullshit these guys pulled is insane... but then i think about nowadays how they have us by the balls for simple shit like data / internet / telecom. it costs them fucking pennies for the amount of service i actually use per month. it is insane the amonut of greed / corruption that is still present today. back then they just kept people at bay by not educating them so they cant read. so nowadays they cut you off at the internet - you cant read if you dont have access the material. shit hasnt changed 1 bit the more and more i read about this. reminds me of eppstein going to jail. he had enough power to be OUT of jail most of the time, and then finally when he knew the jig was up, he had enough power to suicide or whatever. i think its only gotten worse in todays world and the rest of the world paying a price for these peoples greed.

I'm not "bringing up old stuff" to be negative. I'm pointing people towards what is being danced around since everyone in this thread keeps asking and speculating.
Nice Mike Watt profile pic btw... One of the best socialist punk bands of all time, the Minutemen.
Also I forgot about Huell Howser until I saw your name. RIP.
he was wearing it because it says Unity Skateboards on the side
GH found the hat online during a stream, he customised it with Unity skateboards on the back/side whatever and bought it for the lolz.
Deffo done for the jokes/irony factor.

Especially when his takes are just shit the core community has been saying for years, like holy shit he doesn't like Nyjah, Steve Berra, Rip n dip or various other known kook shit that everyone already bashes.

If you have a copy of "The Marxist Playbook" can you send me a copy? Because clearly whatever I'm doing hasn't been effective.
I never once was given even a lick of leftist education in high school or college. I had to go out of my way and read leftist books on my own time. I got into arguments with shit for brains Liberal/Capitalist professors, and my grades even suffered for doing things like critiquing the New York Times while my professor referred to it as their "bible."
College staffs are mainly filled with liberals, conservatives, and "libertarians". As long as you deepthroat Capitalism, you are welcome to teach in any university. Neoclassical economics only. If you're a "renegade" professor, maybe some limp-dicked Keynesianism.
Marx's name wasn't uttered a single time in any of my classes or by any of my classmates. I'm sure that will change soon in terms of students, as Capitalism continues to collapse and people realize how the media and the highly educated have been bullshitting them about Capitalism their whole life.
I've found if you ask people to define Capitalism or Socialism, they can't give an accurate definition of either. Hiding It from people and demonizing it has been pretty effective it seems.

but hey, they can see how fucked up things around them are, and they can tell that the 'mainstream' political options (neoliberalism and neoconservatism, basically) aren't helping.
of course a few of them are also into like jordan peterson and farther right wing stuff as well. i guess what i'm saying is "the kids are desperate and being young is pretty harsh right now". so maybe thats why lil zoomer joa the youtuber hasnt managed to watch video days yet. who cares.

You're going beyond appreciation. You're saying someone's opinions on skateboarding are invalid because they didn't watch a specific old skateboarding video that you like. Complete kook behavior.
It's one thing to like old skate videos and appreciate the history and progression, but instead you're projecting some insecurities. I love watching skate videos from before my time, but I'm not going to force others to watch some shakey cam footage of mobbed front side flip down an EMB 3 stair.
You are getting all pretentious and snooty about the history of skate videos and skate writing blah blah blah... while simultaneously making some weird dismissive comments about college and Marxism. Seems like you have a giant chip on your shoulder about education, and are using skate history to compensate. You're as bad as the pretentious liberal professors I had to deal with.

It's one thing to like old skate videos and appreciate the history and progression, but instead you're projecting some insecurities. I love watching skate videos from before my time, but I'm not going to force others to watch some shakey cam footage of mobbed front side flip down an EMB 3 stair.
You are getting all pretentious and snooty about the history of skate videos and skate writing blah blah blah... while simultaneously making some weird dismissive comments about college and Marxism. Seems like you have a giant chip on your shoulder about education, and are using skate history to compensate. You're as bad as the pretentious liberal professors I had to deal with.[close]
I'm not the one talking about marxism dipshit... I'm not even registered to vote or give any type of fuck about politics. It's not pretentious to not think someone's opinion isn't credible because they aren't as educated as they try to come off as.

You right. My bad.
What's your favorite Dino Jr. song?[close]
Given the new direction of this thread if it's anything other that "Said The People" or "Left/Right" I'll be severely disappointed.[close]
Reminds me of how J Mascis and Lou Barlow endorsed Bernie. Its funny, I would have figured J was completely apolitical, so that was cool to see.
EDIT: I didn't realize that Dino Jr. had a skate connection through Phelps being from Boston. Completely forgot about that fact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9ciR5cks6s[close]
You should watch Memory Screen (and Mindfield). Dino has been a part of skating for a very long time.

Ah yes another favorite of mine, the old "I don't agree with what you're saying so I'm going to try and act like you're irrational for voicing your opinion". Fat guy, I did go outside today, and I did the best switch pop shuv i've ever done in my life.
Not trying to come across as heated, honestly. Just in my experience most people i have met and talked to who like skating a lot tend to really dive into it. That usually includes checking out old skate videos and looking at old graphics. Obviously, being aware of what's going on in it today as well. I really am confused as to why everyone thinks this is such an out of place take.

What you're worried about I think here is cultural transmission from generation to generation and very understandably so because on a level that completely transcends skateboarding that literally dictates the direction the world is going, it very much is a responsibility but also I believe a non-issue at the end of the day, there are plenty of Instagram accounts like elpatosk8, nbd_archive, scienceversuslife or thepastparticiple (for popular examples) that archive classic skateboarding maybe in a way that doesn't exactly do justice to the original videos as full-length pieces but keep everything visible, from historical clips to very local stories. What's important is accessibility to those platforms (on the same level as any other) but I think it's timeless that any 'real' skater will be at least to an extent interested in the history of the practice and look it up. It's a complex phenomenon, different generations are conditioned to different formats and different pacings, knowing how to juggle with that as a professional or personal media outlet and in a way 'modernize' the presentation of information is a science or maybe art of its own. I believe as long as it's visible then all skating will speak to whoever it should be speaking to, sometimes that requires a certain level of maturity from the person as well.
Either way personal stylistic or technical achievements are one thing but what I think matters first and foremost is that the original, literal do-it-yourself message of skateboarding does not get diluted, because skateboarding is way too great of a potential social and educational tool for the youth at a crucial time in their development where I believe the individual is particularly vulnerable to their environment encouraging them to either confirm or infirm certain healthy natural impulses of theirs for good (in addition to influencing tourism and business from more interested, lucrative municipal points of view, making it a social win-win). This world needs a general boost in self-confidence in people and skateboarding has the power to achieve that, but that's by design and why I wouldn't worry. Look at the object, it's so simple and rudimentary, barely one technical notch above a singular wheel. Intrinsically so much room for interpretation is left, you probably shouldn't sweat it fighting windmills regardless of how loud. This message board even has literal teenager Ricky Oyola hardcore fans who genuinely read, understand and get his skating, just relatively quiet because they're cool.
It's only a natural tradition that this should keep reflecting in videos then. Just the other day I was watching Limosine videos for the first time and enjoyed them because I sensed spirit in the skating even if the form had nothing to do with 1281 nor all the VX I grew up watching and still tend to prefer. You also seem well aware of the independent scenes and so the quality stuff that does exist; can't expect everything else to look the same and especially not the farce that is skating's whole commercial facade. If you're doing your part in relaying the values that matter to you on a personal level, then everything is probably OK (I know I send videos older than them to local kids a lot, all the while aware that they will first read them as curiosities since from an unrelatable time frame, and yet they always see the same things I too see in them regardless of the gap and get stoked; just remember communication is 50/50 and present things accordingly regardless of your true passion).

i kind of agree with the sentiment and also find his videos funny. the car analogy is ironic i think because most people have no idea how modern cars work (they’re all just computers!) which i also agree with and is exactly why i sometimes watch gifted hater. i have no fucking clue who these tiktok skaters are, this whole social media realm of skating is foreign to me so its interesting to watch someone younger than me clown on it, and i can keep my distance.I think after two years he's gonna have to evolve his schtick a bit. just the Koston Berries ad thing for example it's good overall how he wraps it up but going in on every little detail "she went higher than him" etc is how an 8th grader goes in on things. It's gonna burn out his audience.
i thought his new video kind of showed some teeth, which i liked. he went in on koston, who will cash anybody’s check, before punching down on some of these influencer types like he always does
it’s hilarious to me that someone (multiple someones actually) who aren’t steve berra, are typing out this much bullshit about a youtube personality who has literally nothing to do with them/doesn’t affect them at all. like dude… it is really not that serious. the amount of text within one page of this thread would make you think it was filled with a bunch of english majors arguing over the meaning of the ending of hamlet or something. chill.
wait, he doesn't know about evisen?He doesn't really care about skateboarding outside of the US, which to me, is even worse than not having seen Video Days since his lane is covering the current skating landscape.

Blading will always be for people who think skateboarding is too hard. You know it's bad when you have to skate 80 stair kink rails to try and make it remotely interesting to watch. Its easier than skateboarding hands down because it's literally attached to your feet. If you grew up in the late 90s/ early 2000s im sure you've messed around on a set as well so it's not like im talking out my ass here. Plus the wax, come on man i like to grind shit too and am also a avid wax user but those fuckers literally will cake anything with a 90 degree edge. They wax the ground sometimes to do slides around here too.I can attest to this. I dropped in and was doing airs and grinds first day on blades on a 6 foot ramp. Took me 2 years to drop in and do axle stalls on a board. My blades got stolen 2 days after first using it. I felt it as the universe telling me to not to take the easy route.
ONE issue I have seen with Bladers is them playing fucking "tag" in a crowded skatepark.
Shit, I've sort of felt like the annoying dude in the "Yew" category and have toned it down but then I feel like I'm unintentionally coolguying when I don't give props or acknowledge when someone does the same for me sometimes.You could just give board taps like the average person. Or golf claps or a lil whistle. Not saying I hate yew'ers or anything, but there are other options.
Rollerbladers suck they are just as annoying as scooters doesn't matter how old they are. All blading is fake steez plus the wax. Sorry, but my time is limited just like everyone else and I don't want to spend it around those jackasses grabbing their feet and be slipping out of grinds as well. Shocked by the amount of people willing to defend blading on here, they are still just as bad as they were in the 90s/2000s. Also, IT IS EASIER than skateboarding I still can proboally do a ton of grind variations and I haven't messed around with it in a long time. Garuntee you all could hit a 15 stair handrail on blades within the first month of messing with it. How many of you can skate handrails that big on skateboards? Plus pizza flip thats a bad take. If skateboarding died out are you just gonna quit? No, probably not unless you just weren't that into it in the first place.

that's my point, you fucking idiot. 99% of them did quit around here, so I'm giving kudos to the ones that didn't. Just like the several waves of skateboarders who quit that clearly weren't that into it in the first place.

Giving kudos to kooks for continuing to be corny and overwax the park?? Also, the name calling wasn't necesarry. There's better ways to get your point across and being a dickbag who throws personal insults isn't one of them. Of course you like rollerbladers because you're just as much of a kook as they are with you inability to have discussions with people.
Even though I'm totally ok with bladers, I just have to ask myself this everytime and hope someone here knows the answer: Why do they need that much wax?
How does their plastic stuff need more wax than my metal trucks even though plastic deck rails require zero wax to slide anything you want.

Yeah I always thought it's because almost every grind they do is a lot of powerslide. Maybe they'd rather slip out onto their butt on-top of the ledge or platform than stick and fall forwards potentially face first off the end of a ledge or back into the transition.Expand QuoteEven though I'm totally ok with bladers, I just have to ask myself this everytime and hope someone here knows the answer: Why do they need that much wax?

I always think the exact same thing! I wonder if having structurally sound plastic means that its less slick.
I know their wheels are generally softer too I think? Maybe Powell can make some rollerblade 93a dragons and liberate the parks from overwaxing. I'm just not sure how much of their waxing is due to wheels.

Ha exactly this problem. There's a few parks I used to skate that were technically one big bowl (bigger than a basketball court) but were plenty big enough for a couple skaters to be in different sections at the same time add in just one or two bmxers and it's a cyclone. There'd be days where there's mostly bikes doing death laps and even if you finally saw a gap rolled in as fast as you could you would 100% have a collision and likely then get run over by the next bike as well.Expand QuoteHmmmm what's worse over waxing or chunking up the ledge?

For me they like to ride into the bowl/ramps while someone's using it without any sort of warning. Did a backside air and right as I rotated to reenter there was a BMXer right at the bottom of the bowl just standing there with his bike just watching me. Keep in mind it's not a big bowl.
Sometimes they'll also just ride up right behind you as you ride up the ramp, full speed with zero warning. I hate them with a passion.

When I was in high school, the skaters and bmx’ers were all friends with each other and we skated/biked(what’s the proper verb here?) a lot of the same spots and there was a lot of mutual respect. This was before I realized their pegs were fucking up all the ledges, haha.

Where I was from there was also mutual respect between bmx and skateboarders and actually a lot of social group cross over but it's just an unfortunate fact we all can't ride the same space at the same time. Also very much agree with the bikes going fakie looks terrible thing. There was one guy who's name I can't remember so can't link but he had video parts and stuff but he was like a jib jab (I think that's what they called it) guy who would do everything like a million trick combos and looked so stupid but if you saw him just cruise he could bunny hop to manual like a foot higher than Reese Forbes could even Ollie. I told him once like fuck all the different tricks just film a part where you ride around street spots doing big bunny hops and basic tricks and showed him a huf part and he thought it was the stupidest idea ever lolExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteHmmmm what's worse over waxing or chunking up the ledge?

I live in san jose, back in the day (90s) only place I knew that had a ramp or anything transition was San Jose ramp club, which basically was just a straight up half pipe. BMXers used to run that place because of Ryan Nyquist, who was super famous for being in the X-games, dude was good I've seen him there...anyways I graduate HS and get a job in downtown sj parking cars and started working with ryan nyquist's younger brother Shae, who was all street bmx and was crazy good, dude did a wall ride off a bumb to a side of building and was a good 10ft up when his bike started wall riding...craziest shit ive ever seen, cool dude too

Guys... Bladers? They are called fruitbooters...
I think the thing that really out the last nail in the rollerblade coffin was the razor scooter. I claim it all the time with 100% confidence but western Sydney is the scooter capital of the world. No matter how many scooters you think you have where you are we got ten times that easy, from little kids to 30+ year old pros. Anyway in 99 it was pretty much half skateboarders half rollerbladers then the blades disappeared and were immediately replaced with the scooter and it's been that way for nearly 23 years.Expand QuoteGuys...

My best guess as to why skateboarding survived and rollerblading died in the 2000s was that rollerblading failed to make a lasting impact on the culture. In the 2000s we had the 900 and THPS games which expanded the core market vastly. We're seeing a similar thing in the market expansion over the last 3-7 years with the Olympics, more female participation and formalizing of the activity (coaching, skate camps).

I can admit, I was into the rollerblading scene back then. Arlo Eisenberg was like the Jamie Thomas of it all. I even think he had a Big Brother article which was odd. I used to watch this video called Hoax 2 and there was a guy named Brian Smith. He ended up like being friends with the band Incubus and even being in an episode of Friends. By the end of it, he became a photographer and a decent one at that.Being in friends is pretty sick lol. In Aus in the 90s we had this show that had two different pro rollerbladers as main cast for a while. That guy Calum Mulvey might be rollerbladings Jason Lee or something he has been in a ton of movies now https://youtu.be/BgwsI2Atm5k
there was male stripper that roller bladed at the Niagara falls Ontario skate park around 05-07. He was pretty cool. He had a friend who would blade with him and wore a clock around his nick like Flava Flav @busey might remember this.

Dude.....I went to X-Games in SF at 1999 to see the rollerblading on vert. Little did I know that would be the weekend that Tony Hawk does his 900 as well. And Travis Pastrana jumped into the ocean.
The luge stuff in retrospect was pretty comical. Remember Biker Sherlock?! I just Googled him and apparently he died of suicide in 2016. Apparently from his CTE.

Those dudes were insane. They were so much better than everyone else on the pipe. They went higher than everyone else. They spun more than everyone else. Flipping and spinning on every axis. It was crazy how next level they were compared to the rest. It was them, and then everyone else was a tier or two below. I was sad when they got rid of inline at the XGames because I loved watching those two even though I didn't know much about inline.
I'm watching this now (EDIT: I changed it to the timestamp where the brothers do their first runs back-to-back):
https://youtu.be/9PS0FfVTMno?t=596
Jesus, these guys are so insane that the one brother bailed a trick in the middle of his run, and still climbed into second place with a 91.50. Insane how next level they are.
X-Games was honestly so sick back then...rollerblading, street luge, rock climbing.
I remember my mom buying me like a Tech Deck style finger street luge...
Anyone remember playing that Aggressive Inline video game for, I think, PS2?
Yeah rollerbladers, BMX, and scooters definitely suck as well as 90% of the people who post on here. Gifted hater sucks too. My dog knows more about skateboarding than him.
Early X Games were crazy, beyond street luge they also had events like "barefoot water ski jumping" and "sky surfing". Who the fuck does those sports? Nobody!
Look at how goofy the barefoot water skiing was. It looks like they just roll around in the water half the time. It also looks like a high speed enema.

i wonder if you could lay down in the canoe and brace yourself under those crossbeam bits and do a barrel roll and come back around with the suit still dry.
I’m from Scotland and until recently a lot of our indoor parks still looked like a 90s x games course so there’s still quite a lot of bladers going around, I remember about ten years ago when I was in primary there was a big thing about getting blades and it being the cool thing to do loads of people in my school did itI feel like this is the only way rollerblades really make sense. Especially for younger people who don't have cars. Thinking about the teen days with no parks it was like skate a km to the bus stop, get a bus, skate half a km to the train, get the train, then whatever place we're at is like skate to a spot, skate the spot for a bit, skate to another spot, repeat etc doing that on rollerblades seems like such a pain in the ass especially with constantly having to take them off and put shoes on then swap back and have to carry your shoes around everywhere
It also looks like a high speed enema.

i wonder if you could lay down in the canoe and brace yourself under those crossbeam bits and do a barrel roll and come back around with the suit still dry.[close]
Interesting idea but not a chance, you'd need a shit ton of force to smoothly roll something that open fast enough to not take on water. Way more than you could generate, especially ducking down between the seats. Actually I'd imagine it would snap your paddle or break the canoe. You can roll kayaks because the actual opening is way smaller (and often skirted) as well as the shape being more unstable and conducive to it. Canoes can be nimble but they're fundamentally more stable and slow to respond. It's like the difference between trying to kickflip a 7.75" deck and double flip a 12" wide longboard barefoot.
I was very outdoorsy growing up and my best friend and I had a Walmart canoe so we would take the safety certification course at our local hunting and fishing club every year. Part of it was partially submerging your canoe and then flipping it and having to recover and get back in. It was always a bitch and took us a couple attempts... granted our canoe was big and unwieldy as fuck. The dudes like this who had $10k handmade wood ones wouldn't even risk doing it in there's, they'd just qualify in the club shitbox or borrow someone else's.
Never thought I'd make a canoe know-it-all post, but this is what my life has lead me to.

I've got a friend who mocks his kids for wanting to ride scooters and wont let them touch his quarter pipe. Skateboards only. I think he's fucked in the head and mean to his kids. Let em live and try and show them why skatings cool, not screaming at them about it.It's a good way to make sure your kids never like skateboarding.
He was kinda shitting on Fred Gall and watched his pet in his latest twitch stream. Gave him a pass for being 400 years old though and was saying it’s his super long bon voyage part.

I agree with your first paragraph. To add on, he is a great comedic editor, and he has great ideas for content. A comedic "skatepark review" is definitely a niche I'm so glad he filled. We've got (or used to have) some bad parks around here, and its a bit of catharsis to watch him poke fun at all the worst (and best) parts of these skateparks. And then also for him to be skilled enough to do something either cool or funny on these impossible obstacles? Love it.
Comedic editing can be challenging and that is what makes his videos. He also does a great job of using editing to fill the audience in on weird obscure things he is referencing like some randoms on IG or TikTok I would never know about.
On top of all of that, he is definitely openly self-aware which is refreshing. He sort of meta-commentates on what he is doing, his "role", and how he is perceived. Hopefully he doesn't let that stuff get to him, but he realizes that people might "burn out" on this content eventually, but for now he is here doing this while skateboarding needs it. Gotta respect him for that.
Hopefully his newfound industry ties don't make him feel the need to be too "political" in regards to skateboard politics (not offending brands, skaters, TMs, company owners, etc). I also hope he doesn't fall into any "enlightened centrism" or "contrarian just to be a contrarian" sort of habits.
Felix of Chapo Trap House and Mike of RedLetterMedia both do bits where they are contrarians for comedic value, and its really funny... but if you actually become that person, its insufferable.

I actually don't mind when he does the skatepark reviews. They're pretty entertaining for whatever reason and he can be pretty funny when he's clowning on some obstacles or what his friends have chosen to bring for snacks. He's a pretty good skateboarder too, I gotta give that to him.

I'm the combo of overly cynical person and someone who often doesn't pay attention to new things so they guy just sitting in a room playing a video game or watching a video really rubbed me the wrong way when I first saw it. Eric Griffin (Montez from workaholics) had a show Riffin' with Griffin where he'd talk to other comedians, actors etc so it was just like a budget talk show which was fine but then he pivoted to guy who sits in a chair playing video games while interacting with the viewers and it's almost like this format was specifically designed to trick people's brains into thinking he is in their loungeroom talking with them while they play a game together.

Yes, that format in general is so unbearable to watch. Even when I search for some info on something and it's some highly regarded professor doing the talking, I just cannot watch it. When they're straight on into the camera it's somewhat less offensive, but that 3/4 view just makes me sick, it's an uncontrollable reaction. It's like looking in on someone have a private conversation and we can't see the other side, seems gross.

Millions of subscribers and viewers of all lenguages around the globe say the total opposite. We are just too old and that's our problem.
I have a 12 years old son who sees shit like this all the time (twitch/youtube gamers), and I mean ALL THE TIME; and its not only him, its ALL his friends, nephews, every single kid nowadays basically.
They grew up with this kind of content and they feel related cause its something "they could do".
That being said, I reckon GH skateboarding skills but can't stand watching his content for more than a few minutes. I have him on youtube to know some skateboarding gossip/new videos.

I haven't seen him do one, and I'm sure that if he had a good one he would be doing them on footage considering that no complies fit the style of the rest of the tricks he does. If he doesn't have a good no comply, it would be best for him to not tell his viewers how to do them, and I'm sure he's self aware enough to know whether or not his no complies are any good.

If you watch his videos it's not hard to pick up that he doesn't know much about skateboarding prior to when he started and isn't interested in doing the research.

while you're right that his analysis isn't always that unique or original, i think what really makes him stand out and his input valuable is that he's undeniably really good at articulating those ideas that we've all maybe thought to ourselves or may even be pretty commonly understood in the skateboarding community but rarely verbalized coherently. yeah, we all think having an energy drink sponsor is kinda lame, but GH is great at succinctly explaining exactly WHY it's kinda lame in language that's both articulate and also accessible to the average viewer. that's a role that i don't really see a whole lot of other people filling and clearly his analysis resonates with a pretty big audience so i think there's value in what he does. sure, you can come here to Slap and probably find someone else gesturing at the ideas he uses in his videos long before he makes them, but most people don't want to come to Slap and scroll through 20 page threads of absolute drivel to consume those ideas, they want someone like GH to explain it to them clearly with a little bit of shitposty flair.

while you're right that his analysis isn't always that unique or original, i think what really makes him stand out and his input valuable is that he's undeniably really good at articulating those ideas that we've all maybe thought to ourselves or may even be pretty commonly understood in the skateboarding community but rarely verbalized coherently. yeah, we all think having an energy drink sponsor is kinda lame, but GH is great at succinctly explaining exactly WHY it's kinda lame in language that's both articulate and also accessible to the average viewer. that's a role that i don't really see a whole lot of other people filling and clearly his analysis resonates with a pretty big audience so i think there's value in what he does. sure, you can come here to Slap and probably find someone else gesturing at the ideas he uses in his videos long before he makes them, but most people don't want to come to Slap and scroll through 20 page threads of absolute drivel to consume those ideas, they want someone like GH to explain it to them clearly with a little bit of shitposty flair.[close]
I never thought similar things to myself in a many of his videos the way he thinks out loud... and skateboard community, please tell me more about this community as a monolith[close]
you don't think that there are ideas like the example that Mean Salto provided of "energy drink sponsorships are a little whack" that are pretty commonly held by a big portion of skateboarders? stuff like "benihana flyouts are illegal" etc.
i'm not saying that those ideas are correct or that every single skateboarder on the planet would agree with them but i feel like it's obtuse to act like there isn't at least some degree of collective agreement about some things in skateboarding, or at least that some ideas are prevalent enough to be considered significant. all i was really saying was that GH might not be presenting completely original ideas that no one has ever presented before, but that he's just good at articulating them well.
I don't have problems with energy drink sponsors... I actually think skateboarding is far from collective agreements, but as Grosso used to say there are some unwritten laws good skateboarders observe, which I doubt includes hating on people who still do varial kick flips. Dont really see GH articulation that admirable, his skating is decent which is cool, I though his critic of berra was good, but we all like a good Berra dis

-Just saw the woodward video. Damn, I wonder how often injury reports are filed there. I find it cringey that these kids families pay for them to be there, only for them to adopt a rebellious attitude as if they're stuck in prison.beatrice video is on his patreon. he doesn’t think she is worthy of being pro(says she hasn’t paid her dues to skateboarding, very little footage etc), but is all for more professional women skateboarders
-I'm surprised gifted didn't touch the whole Beatrice thing (I'm not aware if he did at least). Seems like he's usually up to speaking on the topics of the day.
The wall of positive noise is real. Nobody wants to bite the hand that feeds them, not even the supposed haters and critics.

If you’re talking about the problems of a camp for kids, possibly talking about men trying to fuck the kids there is a topic that should be on the table. But I get he was just looking at it from a ‘ridiculousness’ kinda angle.

Is joa still going? Haven't seen anything suggested by YouTube. I figured he got a sponsor or whatever and went off to be a real man with a jobie job
Just did the math and assuming that the tiers are split 50/50 (unlikely but there’s no other sensible way to sort this), he’s still making $10,860 per month. He’s probably losing ~40% of that to taxes since he’s presumably an independent contractor, but still that’s a nice living for making YouTube videos, even if it’s not “buy a home in LA” money.until he completely falls off because his videos are shit

I should do a YouTube. I'd do one where I like go outside and show people shit.

Am I the only one that can't stand his voice?yeah that’s one thing that annoys me along with when he reviews stuff he actually likes. for instance, he recently reviewed the polar video and the whole time it was just him making weird noises while fanning out way too hard using a cringey vocabulary. other than that stuff i like him.
I like everything except his laugh. I don't even know if that's his natural laughing style or he does it as a joke but it's so annoying. He didn't do it when he first started if I remember correctly. Don't know how to describe it, somebody else might be able to

Nonono. I mean the extended thing he does. Like he genuinely laughs completely normal, but sometimes also actively makes some super weird noises while breathing in and keeps doing that for some extra 10 seconds.
I like his regular laugh and hate his fake laugh? That's wholesome right?
His vibe is definitely more performative now. There was something authentic about “angry guy living at parents house” that allowed his passion to come through a bit more, which helped overshadow some of his nasally delivery. It’s more for entertainment’s sake than actual investigations / analysis / takedowns like he did initially.
When there is actually ”news” worth covering, I’m glad we have GH to chime in.

Yeah same. Also annoyed by enlightened centrist takes here and there. But especially the weird cynical justifications of the cringiest parts of capitalism affecting skateboarding. Like bro, you're taking the same approach to viewing "the industry" that Cariuma and Heart Supply take. Stop that. Turn that part of your brain off and redirect it. You're better than that.
There's a skate podcast I love that does that too, with the addition of marketing jargon. If I hear "brand narrative" one more time I'm taking a break from listening to the pod.
I hate when people willingly justify capitalism and the weird cynicism inherent to it. They think they come off as mature or "a realist"... But it just ends up coming off as being a bootlicker that lost their imagination years ago.
If you want to talk about "the industry" then start talking about how Worker COOPs should be the standard moving forward. That's how you combat real issues like: skateboarders being exploited, skateboarding being coopted by outsiders, and to assure that the community supports these skaters after their careers have ruined their bodies.

Highlighting the symbiotic relationships propping up the industry — and calling out what happens when an outsider tries to prey on it — is what, after 40 fucking years, you'd think Thrasher would be taking on and guarding. It's not hyperbole to say GH could take on the mantle as a new Phelps-figure for the modern era. He's articulate, insightful and he fucking rips.
He's beginning to fill an editorial void that the skate industry/media has blissfully avoided. I have no qualms with him keeping folks in check.

His problem is he’s not really that well versed on skate history or even skate knowledge so if you’re older eventually you realize he doesn’t know shit but his demographic are 12-13 year old kids.
I thought the total over the top character assassination of Mikey Alfred was hyperbolic and hateful and somewhat unwarranted in his latest video. Gifted Hater is just a more feminine Tucker Carlson of skateboarding at this point.
Mikey Alfred should exit skateboarding at this point.
and Braille, and John Hill, and George Poulous, etc etc basically any skate-related YouTube channel
Yet some of y'all are still nonplussed how he has so much influence. What's pathetic is he has a fraction of the subs of these other channels and consistently crushes them in views and it's not even close, meaning a lot of people are fans but too proud to subscribe. And he's passing them in days. He makes stuff people want to watch and I can't say the same for the others.
I never even heard of this guy blah blah blah I never even seen his videos blah blah blah
And it's not just his TMZ gossip videos either so don't try to pull that. A skatepark review with over 100k views meanwhile the Nine Club has interviews with legit legends that have been up for months that will never crack that.

Being a skate nerd is rare. Most skaters don’t know what size trucks they fucking ride.
At best they know what they remember what they read in magazines when they were in high schools and what they learned from lords of dog town.
For most people nine club is their first time people hear stories from skate history. The skateboard nerdery on slap is not the norm

thrasher only posts skate content. skate clips, skate parts, skate vids, that’s it. their only commentary piece is hateline. in addition, people who sub to thrasher are more inclined to click on something pending brand/skater - for example see how tyshawn’s video part faired over the other vids that were posted that week.
now look at what gifted hater posts, commentary vids current and trending topics in skateboarding, because of this more people in skating will watch his videos because they know they are getting. he also does a live stream where he connects with his viewers and has a patreon. he’s making a killing on the IC videos because it’s the most popular topic right now, so more people will click that vs. the latest part by ulph anderson.
although they are both skate related - they both present different types of content. gifted will get more views because he is really the “go-to” skate commentary guy, funny and relatable and connects to his viewers. thrasher posts daily skate content that is consumed based on skater/brand and the magazine is made up of different people.

One thing nobody has mentioned is channel age, which plays a big role in viewership. Thrasher has been around for like 16 years while GH started his channel in 2021. Most of Thrasher's subs could be from abandoned accounts or folks that stopped skating but never unsubbed.

I get that Joa is a charismatic guy and people enjoy that, but it’s just odd (and in my opinion not a great look for Thrasher) when the commentary is more popular than the source material. It’s my Stephen A Smith vs an actual NFL game comparison. Or At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert vs an actual movie. Or a Jon Caramanica article vs an actual album. In all cases more people are by de facto going to have watched the game, seen the movie, or listened to the album than have engaged with the commentary. And Thrasher, as the main source of skateboarding content, just isn’t delivering what the people want, which is why we see more people hovering towards GH for their skate content.
nah seriously bro took it out and put it back inhey buddy, save some dick for the rest of us to rideExpand QuoteThat last vid is GH entering the big leagues.
Highlighting the symbiotic relationships propping up the industry — and calling out what happens when an outsider tries to prey on it — is what, after 40 fucking years, you'd think Thrasher would be taking on and guarding. It's not hyperbole to say GH could take on the mantle as a new Phelps-figure for the modern era. He's articulate, insightful and he fucking rips.
He's beginning to fill an editorial void that the skate industry/media has blissfully avoided. I have no qualms with him keeping folks in check.[close]
I really hope it's not the last we see of the kid who did the bogus hard flip for a buck. I really want to see more footage of him.What the fuck
Kid has a good look. Has pretty good style. Hard flips are very hard for me.
I like the kit though.
Everything but the big chain.
Some of my homies like it but nah not for me.
I like grills. I've always wanted one. It'll never happen now obviously. I have a chain in mind I wanted to design but again I'd never be able to afford or justify a custom chain purchase.
But yeah if I was that kid in this environment I'd double down on true punk frickin rock style. Unless I was interested in like mumble rapping or whatever. Then I'd try to get the ponk look right and take it with me.
I can't watch those "artist" do it wrong anymore. I'll never make them anything for under 2500.
Lil Wayne I'd definitely give a free jacket. I don't consider him mumble rapper tho I believe that cash money kinda came up with the styles roots.
Wayne would look so sick in one of my pieces. Maybe he'd be down to trade a guitar. I seen he plays the Joan Jett Gibson. One in my favorite guitars.

Idk. I feel like Mikey is someone I would not work with on any level.That last sentence is a problem because he is a decade older than that.
I could be wrong. Maybe he's an honest caring individual.
It doesn't seem that way. Seems like a narcissist to me.
Maybe that's actually the health way to be? Idk. It's not in me. I'm almost always dead wrong.

You say that but then GH posts a video about some internecine skateboarding bullshit and gets 100k views in a day.
Skateboarding is pretty big now, but more importantly the demographic of skateboard media consumer is more mature, and there is obviously an appetite for a type of commentary which is more or less impossible to get out of traditional skateboard media. Remember that Thrasher was started specifically to sell Independent Trucks - how much objective opinion do you think is possible from such a source?

Yeah and Thrasher has 45x the subs that GH has[close]
but that brings me back to what both channels post.
thrasher only posts skate content. skate clips, skate parts, skate vids, that’s it. their only commentary piece is hateline. in addition, people who sub to thrasher are more inclined to click on something pending brand/skater - for example see how tyshawn’s video part faired over the other vids that were posted that week.
now look at what gifted hater posts, commentary vids current and trending topics in skateboarding, because of this more people in skating will watch his videos because they know they are getting. he also does a live stream where he connects with his viewers and has a patreon. he’s making a killing on the IC videos because it’s the most popular topic right now, so more people will click that vs. the latest part by ulph anderson.
although they are both skate related - they both present different types of content. gifted will get more views because he is really the “go-to” skate commentary guy, funny and relatable and connects to his viewers. thrasher posts daily skate content that is consumed based on skater/brand and the magazine is made up of different people.
People enjoy non sycophantic contentThat's not how I'd describe Slap.
Yeah it’s a real head scratcher how GH’s Illegal Civ video got more views than Thrasher’s and Nine Club’s featuring.. *checks notes*.. Nathan Kostechko and Mike Santarossa?

It's also comparing things that are pretty different. I'm not going to put on a bunch of skate parts/videos in the background while I'm cooking, washing up, doing laundry or whatever. Also a gh vid is usually only 15-30 mins vs a 2+ hour 9club.
I also think there's something about streaming videos that people are drawn to. Like a poker machine making all the right noises at the right time having someone's face in your lounge room making jokes and seeming to be interacting probably does something for lonely people's brains.

Like I said though it’s not just the TMZ gossip videos. A GH skatepark review that’s been up for one month has tens of thousands of more views than months-old Nine Club interviews with Henry Sanchez, Bucky Lasek, Kris Markovich. You have to go back four months to Ryan Sheckler before you get any Nine Club video surpassing GH numbers.
I haven't made it through more than a minute of any of GH videos. I'm old, and just don't give a fuck about anything he's yaking about.You're posting this in the gossip section of an online skate forum
Social media gossip culture, oofda. Reading it is one thing, watching it is another. Both, is just sad. Go outside kids!

I don’t see then why in these instances you wouldn’t just have any old Nine Club interview running in the background. They have a clips channel if you really need shorter videos. They have non-interview shows where they just comment on skate videos and industry happenings.
The reason is the Nine Club sucks and GH doesn’t. But people are afraid to admit that because he’s not some established pro, doesn’t know skate history, is all about drama, has a nasally voice, blah blah blah. People really bend over backwards to not admit they like GH when the numbers indicate otherwise.

Gifted Hater is Slap manifested in audio form. Friends of mine who stay away from skate media (Thrasher/Jenkem/QS/Slap) listen to his takes. Clearly, there is space for his style of content and medium.

Being a skate nerd is rare. Most skaters don’t know what size trucks they fucking ride.
At best they know what they remember what they read in magazines when they were in high schools and what they learned from lords of dog town.
For most people nine club is their first time people hear stories from skate history. The skateboard nerdery on slap is not the norm[close]
You say that but then GH posts a video about some internecine skateboarding bullshit and gets 100k views in a day.
Skateboarding is pretty big now, but more importantly the demographic of skateboard media consumer is more mature, and there is obviously an appetite for a type of commentary which is more or less impossible to get out of traditional skateboard media. Remember that Thrasher was started specifically to sell Independent Trucks - how much objective opinion do you think is possible from such a source?[close]
Doubt this claim is completely true and the primary reason for the mag to start. Yes I'm aware of Fausto Vitello, etc. being part of the big truck companies that are often pushed in the mag, but that's incidental.
Doesn't independent didn't need the help of the mag to sell trucks.

Joa seems like a good dude and I think it's cool that he can make a living off of talking about skating. That being said, he caters to a very specific subset of extremely online skaters. In this particular echo chamber, GH videos can hold more sway than [insert more traditional skate media outlet here.] That's just how fandom of any kind works these days. There are content creators in every niche interest group that do exactly what Joa does. Upload a YT vid every 7-10 days, live stream on Twitch, offer paid content on Patreon. These people amass a considerable amount of hardcore fans who take everything the content creator says as gospel, but outside of their bubble, no one cares. That's neither special nor sustainable, and to Joa's credit, he's got no illusions that this will last. Skating is not that different from other subcultures or interest groups as we make it out to be. We put people on a pedestal for a time and then move on. It will inevitably happen to GH too, and Joa knows it. He's capitalizing on the attention he's getting at the moment, as he should. Don't count on him doing the same stuff in 5 or even 2 years though.

Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand Quotebut his 8 videos are over a month span and thrasher’s are only 8 daysExpand QuoteExpand Quoteyeah they get way more views overall, not even closeExpand Quotethe thing with thrasher is they are uploading daily so of course there’s gonna be videos that don’t do as hot as others, for them it comes down to what brand/skater it is. they don’t do much commentary videos which is what GH does.[close][close]
Take the first eight GH videos from above and the first eight Thrasher videos from above and GH has like 200k more views[close][close]
Yeah and Thrasher has 45x the subs that GH has[close]
but that brings me back to what both channels post.
thrasher only posts skate content. skate clips, skate parts, skate vids, that’s it. their only commentary piece is hateline. in addition, people who sub to thrasher are more inclined to click on something pending brand/skater - for example see how tyshawn’s video part faired over the other vids that were posted that week.
now look at what gifted hater posts, commentary vids current and trending topics in skateboarding, because of this more people in skating will watch his videos because they know they are getting. he also does a live stream where he connects with his viewers and has a patreon. he’s making a killing on the IC videos because it’s the most popular topic right now, so more people will click that vs. the latest part by ulph anderson.
although they are both skate related - they both present different types of content. gifted will get more views because he is really the “go-to” skate commentary guy, funny and relatable and connects to his viewers. thrasher posts daily skate content that is consumed based on skater/brand and the magazine is made up of different people.[close]
You touched on a lot of great points here!
Commentary videos in general have a higher "click" factor due to a "gossip/spill the beans/question and answer format," which is far more accessible/click bait-y than actual skateboarding content. That's true for any scene out there, not just skateboarding.
With Thrasher and Nine Club, you know what you're getting.
GH capitalizes on what's trending and creates content around it. Sometimes people want to watch something semi "mindless" over actual skating where you typically need to devote all your attention to follow along.
And his videos came out of nowhere so there's the "new" factor that makes people click on his videos

If you were to take these numbers at complete face value, GH is performing better than Jenkem but is still much behind Thrasher and Nine Club.

It's weird because it should be obvious that, in a relatively mature media market such as that which encompasses skateboarding, there can be multiple successful and influential players. Framing it as an either/or sort of thing based solely around very recent YouTube view counts is baffling. It's true that GH is important and offering something which consumers want, and it's also true that Thrasher remains *the* major player in skateboard media. When you sub to GH on YouTube, you don't automatically unsub from Thrasher. The two are not mutually exclusive.

It will inevitably happen to GH too, and Joa knows it. He's capitalizing on the attention he's getting at the moment, as he should. Don't count on him doing the same stuff in 5 or even 2 years though.[close]
But what people are failing to grasp is that in this instance the fandom (GH) is more popular/has more influence than the source itself. Avengers fandom or whatever will never be as popular as the movies. The Office Ladies podcast will never be as popular as the show. NFL and your favorite football commentary show. Yet when GH reviews a skate vid or an SLS event, his vid gets more views and has more influence than the actual thing.[close]

i thought dashawn and felipe mota should have been maybe 1 tier higher but i understand why he put those guys where he did. i thought carlos riberos was place a little too high as well.

reminds me of how the rumors spread in the late 80s of how Natas had ollied a cow. With no video or photo evidence everybody (atleast in my crew) believed it to be a real live cow. When the photo surfaced years later, this kinda made it seem not so insane lmao.Much funnier version of what every non Californian thinks skating picnic tables is. "How the fuck did Keenan switch flip one of these?" Then years later realise the pros are playing with Barbie furniture

I think two things can be true at once. Tyshawn is an amazing skateboarder with a ton of pop and that he didn't clear the top of the table completely on his switch ollie. Regardless, he's still in the running for SOTY. I can tell you one thing, you can't cheat the Subway station kickflip (unless the cover isn't an actual make but I think he made it).

This was the theory in the other thread, and I think he will, but this clip from the general kind of spoils the impact of a no BS make, doesn't it?
Sure it's nitpicking and dissecting the details, but that comes with the territory of slo-mo'ing a faker makerTM NBD
If we're giving people a pass on what they *could* do vs what they actual got on the clip, then Sheckler's BS Flip El-Toro was a make
The weirdest part to me is how he had a photographer and presumably a crew there when he did it and no one was like 'hey i don't think that was legit' and then when it came to the editing process for the clip the same thing happened and they even slo-mo'd the clip. How did no one pick up on it, or if they did why did they not say anything?No one around tyshawn questioned his king logo, you think theyd step to him to do it again if he was over it?

He wouldnt have gone back and done all this if he thought it was legit. TJ going back and doing this immediately after GH called him out literally on the same day makes it look like he knew his shit was sus from jump and he got caught up.
The first one was clearly not it and we all knew it and so did Tyshawn.

also to anyone saying that this makes Gifted Hater look dumb, it actually proves him right imo. he says in his video that the reason why everyone was bummed is because they know that Tyshawn could do a clean one, and clearly now we see that's the case. it was never about whether he could or couldn't do it, it was whether he DID or DIDN'T do it in the clip that ended up in the video, and clearly Tyshawn felt like he needed to prove that he was able to do a clean one so much that he went back to re-do it

i enjoy gifted hater for the most part but, he does blow it sometimes. this response video is a prime example. just say “wow i really blew that one, good job tyshawn for exploiting my stupidness. i’m gonna go hide now” or something of that nature that admits you’re wrong with some humor behind it. don’t go making a video explaining how he redeemed himself because of you & try to take credit? either way, this at least confirms that we might see a switch flip over a table longways which is fucking unreal.
I mean he did do it not even 24 hours after his video came out. People on slap and pretentious skate twitter have been whining about it for a month. Tyshawn also pinned GH's shitpost comment "Nyjah is better"Expand Quotehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi3DLxdvXck[close]
Pretty lame imo that he said that tyshawn wouldn’t have posted that clip today if it wasn’t for his video, completely ignoring all the people that were questioning the switch ollie since the moment that part came out
rewatch the new one. he still shifts to the same side naturally as i said before from the curve in but, he clears it. the original one is the same thing it just looks like he didn’t clear it because of the angle. play them side by side, they are one in the same. a shadow would be there regardless, in the new one there’s already a shadow casting over the end so you can’t tell, it would’ve been the same exact shadow. look at any skate photo/clip, is their shadow directly underneath them or a little bit over to the side especially depending on the angle? the latter. tyshawn was on ig live & probably getting non stop heckled about the gh video so he said “fuck it” and proved that it was legit the first time. it wasn’t him redeeming himself because of a speculator putting him on blast, it was him proving that he never cheated it to begin with.why would he say he blew it/how was he wrong? tyshawn going back and redoing the ollie doesn't change anything about his original statement/video. it's a W for both joa and tyshawnExpand Quoteimagine gh goes out to skate with his homies while tyshawn is still in town & they end up at the same spot, only for him to get dekyzered ;D

imo, this only proves how much influence gh has on skateboarding now.
the fact that tyshawn saw this vid and did it again showed that gh’s opinion has some weight. he didnt post another angle of the first sw ollie, he did it a second time.
in the end this is a win for everyone involved including us. that was a fucking sick sw ollie

See the association reference to Sam Hyde (ex. 1), and pattern of focus (ex. 2). The alignment and exposure of bias puts that into the bucket of “sus” for me. But take your pick.
Also, I’m not calling the tater alt-right. I’m pointing out he likes problematic internet characters who support the daily stormer, and that he has put a lot of focus on a topic for a black skater in comparison to other moments of contention in skateboarding. I would expect him now to balance that out to tippy toe around this issue. He seems smart enough to stay on his platform.

^ Here's what Gifted Hater said about Sam Hyde. I said this in another thread: I don't think Gifted Hater is alt-right and I don't think his criticism towards TJ was racially motivated. But in any case, saying that you respect Sam Hyde is just yikes.
In case anyone needs some background on the guy, he's an alt-right comedian and he typed his true feelings in a now deleted Reddit Ask Me Anything thread, where he repeated Great Replacement talking points (https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/5gskcl/comment/dav7qta/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). This type of rhetoric has appeared in the manifestos of multiple mass shooters including the Buffalo and El Paso shooters. He also donated to the legal defense fund of the neo Nazi that founded the Daily Stormer (https://forward.com/news/475817/spotify-criticized-for-promoting-podcast-by-far-right-comedian/).
I just think Gifted Hater is either very naive, or has blind spots being a white dude. If you are a minority, you are not in a position to look past those things enough to appreciate his edgy comedy or "perspective" because his perspective goes against your existence.

Not familiar with the Sam Hyde reference, but yeah that dude sucks. Would like to know what video it's in so I can take a closer look.Also, the TJ videos all seem like they're coming from a place of respect and ironic pot stirring rather than a genuine critique of any kind, I never got the impression that he was seriously talking shit or questioning TJ's ability to do the trick.It just seemed like he saw something controversial relating to a huge figure in skating and made a dumb video about it, which is what he does. It was already a big discussion here, as many have pointed out.
To me his unconscious bias seems more evident when you consider the # of videos targeting Mikey Alfred and Nyjah, but those two are easy targets. That being said, they're not the only two easy targets in skateboarding... Has he been more critical of TJ in the past?
Edit: rewatched the first like 30 seconds of the video and yeah, he was serious in his critique of this trick. But I still feel like he approached it with respect and even mentioned he thinks TJ could easily do it unquestionably and was more curious about why they filmed it at an ambiguous angle? Idk, to me it just didn't feel like the hit piece that some people are making it out to be.

Has gifted hater actually covered the Mikey Taylor city council situation?
Last month I went into a deep dive into the Sam Hyde rabbit hole because I didn't knew him before. I read and saw things about him, which are so fucked up, but makes total sense about his whole character and his whole career. At the beginning I kinda understood his appears, especially if youre an edgelord and permanently online, but now I can't take anyone serious who's defending him.
Gifted hater defending Sam Hyde but making fun of Mikey Alfred is really telling. If course he's not alt right or racist just stuck in his adhd internet bubble. And he's not a teenager butbin his mid 20s, so there's no age excuse.
Unfortunately he's the only good one doing skate gossip content in yt.

This forum is largely centered around banter, critiquing, and discourse; so for your initial comment to be so anti criticism is pretty funny

Isn’t the main driver of YouTubers’ frequent uploads the fear that they get would shuffled down by the algorithm? Obv revenue stream is also a motivating factor, but GH doesn’t seem to be facing much competition for the lane that he’s in, so maybe he doesn’t feel threatened into over producing content. I don’t know a ton about this shit, but just thinking outloud based on the little that I do know.
So according this site he makes between 223 and 489 $ per month from twitch subscribers.Or basically minimum wage in California.
His patreon has 1669 subscribers, with a 5.50$ and a 11$ option.

Part of it might be that he's no longer an obscure outsider sniping people in the industry, he's arguably part of the industry he was critiquing now. He's getting boards from Sc-fi, he's getting shoes from LRAB, he probably skates with a lot of these people now and so he has to be more mindful about who he criticizes if he wants to still get the perks...

I really don't like the argument he makes at the end for more "quantifiable" means for selecting SOTY. Yeah, obviously there's been a formula to win to years now, and even though I doubt that's going away I wish people would stop overthinking the award. The operative word for SOTY is Thrasher's Skater of the Year. It doesn't have to be fair, it doesn't have to make the most sense, and it certainly doesn't have to be democratic. It's fun to think about SOTY and to compare top tier skateboarding, but the decision has never been about us and that's fine. Some of the talking points in this video are toeing awfully close to the Berrics' stupid populist voting thing, which absolutely nobody should give a shit about.
Can't speak to how much anyone gave a shit about them at the time because I don't know anyone who gave a shit about soty either but I feel like a best video part award could of been good for certain pros.

Of course this nerd would want a more quantifiable method. Like you said, he's missing the point by miles. On a tangent, weren't TWS awards more "scientific?" And no one gave a shit about them when they were around.

Probably the part where he said Thrasher never even had Nigel in the running because of the SA allegations. He later pinned a comment from himself saying that he was only guessing that’s why Nigel wasn’t in the running. Because he had insider info that the race was only between TJ and T-Funk, and given the footage Nigel released there was no other explanation as to why he wouldn’t be in the top two. He might have taken it down to edit that part out.

He got into pretty dicey territory at that part saying "where there's smoke there's fire" and insinuating he knew more about the allegations/other allegations. Saying things that could probably warrant legal action in certain places. It was off the cuff, and careless.
The real conspiracy is that SOTY is just a vehicle to drive up numbers at SLAP discussion forums to increase ad revenue so then the forum runs at a profit for the rest of the year and they don't have to mothball it once the views drop off and the regulars are sitting round talking about how 8.67" with 54.7mm wheels is the ultimate setup for switch varial dolphin flips.

He deleted the video because it was hot garbage. I don’t remember it all but
-claims TJ is too friendly with Thrasher… as if Louie isn’t?
-I love seeing people one up themselves at spots they’ve skated before but, to each his own I guess. Not really a valid criticism though.
-GH: “I don’t like the sports-like vibe of the SOTY race”
Also GH: “I’ve run the stats on what percent of of TJs tricks are jumping over stuff 🤓…” “the established rules say you don’t have to clear the subway ‘rumble strips’ but you do have to clear the picnic table this certain way” lol
-The backside flip?? In the days that SOTY is being decided Tyshawn is out every night pushing himself to get insane clips at like 4 am and he gets another hammer, sends it to thrasher… what exactly is the problem?
Joining in trying to discredit Tyshawn over dumb shit just makes him look butt hurt because Tyshawn embarrassed him last time with the “case closed” post.

He is some kind of blessing for skateboarding community.I would pay to have him on Nine Club and see what would come out of it.Feel like it just wouldn't work. He'd be kind of boring because he has no life experiences, nothing organic to talk shit on would come up and the nine club guys wouldn't really "yes and" him. The Bunt maybe but they'd have to keep the beginning section kind of brief then go off at the worst style, company etc at the end

Jesus...Submissive and breedable was a meme that was popping right around the time that GH started streaming. Joa said it more than a couple times in the early streams. Shoutout to the early adopters
I would hereby like to ask for an apology of the Slap community at large. I was just trying to point out the absolute fuckery of driving a car like a Pony Express jockey, as well as the risk it entails.
I could have not in any way, shape or form forseen my comment leading to conclusions on GH's *reads notes* submisivness and breedability???!!

Funny video idea, but not the best execution. He should’ve had his viewers come up with trade ideas. Ben Kadow to Frog? I don’t know if Frog is hugely popular in the States, but I don’t see it in Australia outside of maybe 1 or 2 tshirts. It would be a huge pay cut for BK.

GH said Ben K is too valuable and offered Andrew Allen instead, did we watch the same vid?
also, 7:50 "I think a lot of these are not gonna be good trades, you know[...]" it's just for fun
the Louie to Limo trade seems like a stretch especially given the GH Limo bias. but also agree that a "big dawg" on Limo is what they need for growth in the industry. not sure who would be a better fit tho?
thought the Foy for Franky was pretty solid and makes sense. Franky on Primitive is so yucky. and Foy on DW isnt necessarily a match made in heaven.
overall a fun concept and something I think GH can come back to in the future.

I would’ve gone for one of those three team trades - Foy to Primitive, Crazy Franky plus cash to Deathwish and Villany to Frog. Works for all parties
*edit I’ve gone through phases of listening to Bill Simmons podcast network and could go all day on this topic
Polar get's Nick GarciaThis is a bad trade. Hjalte is pretty goated and Nick Garcia is basically just starting to get appreciated. Also Element sucks so bad and has botched the sunset years of so many pros but those people aren't even running the thing anymore so it doesn't matter and so they get fucking nothing

I understood this as GH and BS having a similar kinda whiny voice telling everyone they’re wrong and giving their own examples why. I’m pretty sure they have different view points and audiences but their voices and commentary styles draw similarities.

he's basically just a skateboarding talking head that tends to have interesting perspectives and funny takes. check out his YouTube, some solid content here and there.
As all artists discover, there is a drought of passionC and our favorite hater is going through one.i obviously dont know him personally but it seems like he's probably focused on actually skating right now, there was a minute long video that came out on another channel a while back that looked like a teaser for a part or something, i wouldn't be surprised if he pops up for more than one clip in something soon

I made this tripping face in one day. From drums to vocals.

I assume the “Hyphenate” name refers to the trend of the “multi-hyphenate”, meaning someone who is an actor/producer/musician. This guy is just the ultimate striver; Berra is savage (and correct) to point out that he’s 36 and still trying to “make it”.
I mean this hyphi guy has talked for two hours in accumulative YouTube videos about Berra. I'm almost more interested in seeing the helix of this dudes ears. hyphi and Berra are the same dude different origin, both wanting to be another main character in a sea of online/offline media personalities, trying to find a way to prolong relevancy when skateboarding in itself will cast you out as soon as anything resembling a fedora touches your receding hairline.

So I go to school at UCI, and although it has some pretty famous spots there, I can only skate on campus during the weekend.
I've never hit up any skateparks around here so I do some research and it turns out pretty much every single park within a 20 minute drive enforces the shit out of helmets and pads.
There's a park in costa mesa that's named the "volcom park" (has a giant logo plastered above the gate) that actually looks pretty nice but it's notorious for dickish cops:

That park looks depressing.Sometimes I get all sentimental thinking about Rodney, back in the day, working out his issues via his 12 x 12 square in Gainesville, but seeing parks like these straight up make me want to hang myself. I have a park like this near me, when i'm there, I really have to question whether I am "alive."
This guy needs his own threadon it
that trend with the nosemanual 180 to nosemanual had to be the absolute worst trend in skating of all time. who the fuck thought that looked good with 4 wheels on the floor. pretty sure chris roberts and kenny anderson were offenders. the Gold Wheels vid had a lot of them too
what is this cursed shit @ 0:45 hahahaEspecially funny that he’s somehow missing two bolts and can’t be bothered with picking up a new set. I’m impressed with how tight he wrapped those laces around the kingpin/baseplate.

Isn't varial heel one of the most hated tricks? Lots of people think they look like doo doo.
He has four bolts on the front and two in the back, when of course three on each truck would negate the need for a shoelace and arguably the need for new bolts all together.
the fact that we're talking about shoe laces and bolts in the same breath makes me fucking hate this dude without ever seeing a single piece of content from him
Watched it skipping bits, he seems to have a good amount of tricks and terrible style, which is very relatable.

Yeah I kinda wanted some noise, like the MBV “Sometimes” track he used in one of the Vlogman4000 edits. I appreciate that irony is his thing, and being more earnest would open him up to criticism, but yeah, not my favorite song choice, free electronic whatever it is, I just think he is capable of more but that will hopefully come with time.

Jerome, with the worst take of, it would be different if he had an opinion and didn't rip. god. And they all do this where, they go back and forward between what I would call, an industry skater closed door mentality to the positive youtuber "anyone can do anything they want" mentality. It's just inconstant.

I think he is a really good skater, but most of all he is very creative. but also I dont think he would get sponsored by this part, hope that doesnt sound too out of line.

yeah i agree but i want to point out not liking a song of that genre in a skatepart doesn't necessarily mean someone hates that whole genre or the subculture or generation it is linked to. i don't hate hyperpop per se, i also like some, but i didn't like this song in this part. but it's also no big deal to me. the analogy is a bit wonky because pop and punk share different philosophies from the ground up, so saying hyper-pop is the modern analogue to hardcore punk seems pretty off to me, even if both genres might share some ideological viewpoints.

With the analogy, I was more so trying to point a mirror at the people saying critical things about a new thing with the same dismissive pretentiousness that every older generation seems to have about younger generations and the things younger people like because they didn't immediately like those things too, even though the same thing probably happened to them with the generation before them.
Punk was probably dismissed by boomers as a tasteless, fleeting, attention-grab by rotten kids the same exact way older millennials are now dismissing Gen Z and hyperpop. It's a boring take.

Gifted Hater: I have to say, I'm quite impressed with myself. The way I delivered that insult, with just the right amount of venom and sarcasm. And the timing, oh, the timing was perfect. I knew exactly when to strike.
[Cut to a close-up of the hater's face]
Gifted Hater: But you know what's even more impressive? The fact that I didn't even have to try. This kind of talent, this kind of skill, it's just natural for me. I was born to be a hater.
[Cut to a clip of the hater's victim, looking hurt and embarrassed]
Gifted Hater (voiceover): Look at him. Pathetic. I bet he wishes he never crossed paths with me. But that's the price you pay when you mess with the best.

Gifted Hater: What's up, haters? It's your boy, the gifted hater, and today I'm going to review my own part. Yeah, you heard that right. I'm going to hate on myself. Why? Because I can. And because I'm so damn gifted, I can find flaws in my own shit that you mere mortals wouldn't even notice.
[Cut to footage of the gifted hater's part in a skate video, with the hater's commentary overlaid]
Gifted Hater: Alright, let's take a look at this first trick. Yeah, it's a backside 180 over a gap, and yeah, I landed it clean. But look at how low I crouch before I pop. That's some weak-ass style, man. I should be popping that shit with my legs straight, like a boss. And what's with the little hop after I land? That's some rookie shit.
[Cut to another trick, with the hater's commentary overlaid]
Gifted Hater: Oh man, this one's even worse. I mean, yeah, it's a frontside feeble grind down a handrail, and yeah, I locked in pretty solid. But look at my arms, flailing around like a goddamn chicken. And what's with the head nod at the end? Am I trying to be cool or something? Pathetic.
[Cut to a final trick, with the hater's commentary overlaid]
Gifted Hater: Okay, okay, this one's not bad. It's a switch flip over a gap, and I mean, I did it switch. But look at how I catch it, all sloppy and shit. And what's with the little wobble when I land? That's some amateur hour nonsense. If I'm going to be a true hater, I've got to call myself out on that.
[Cut back to the gifted hater in front of the camera]
Gifted Hater: So there you have it, haters. Even the gifted hater can find flaws in his own part. But don't get it twisted, I'm still better than all of you. And if you think you can do better, then show me. But until then, keep on hating, because that's what we do best. Peace.

[Closing shot of the hater, smirking at the camera]
Gifted Hater: This has been the Gifted Hater, signing off. Until next time, losers.[close]Quote from: ChatGPTExpand Quote2 / 2
Here's a possible script for a video of a gifted hater reviewing his own part:
[Opening shot of the gifted hater sitting in front of a camera, looking annoyed]
Gifted Hater: What's up, haters? It's your boy, the gifted hater, and today I'm going to review my own part. Yeah, you heard that right. I'm going to hate on myself. Why? Because I can. And because I'm so damn gifted, I can find flaws in my own shit that you mere mortals wouldn't even notice.
[Cut to footage of the gifted hater's part in a skate video, with the hater's commentary overlaid]
Gifted Hater: Alright, let's take a look at this first trick. Yeah, it's a backside 180 over a gap, and yeah, I landed it clean. But look at how low I crouch before I pop. That's some weak-ass style, man. I should be popping that shit with my legs straight, like a boss. And what's with the little hop after I land? That's some rookie shit.
[Cut to another trick, with the hater's commentary overlaid]
Gifted Hater: Oh man, this one's even worse. I mean, yeah, it's a frontside feeble grind down a handrail, and yeah, I locked in pretty solid. But look at my arms, flailing around like a goddamn chicken. And what's with the head nod at the end? Am I trying to be cool or something? Pathetic.
[Cut to a final trick, with the hater's commentary overlaid]
Gifted Hater: Okay, okay, this one's not bad. It's a switch flip over a gap, and I mean, I did it switch. But look at how I catch it, all sloppy and shit. And what's with the little wobble when I land? That's some amateur hour nonsense. If I'm going to be a true hater, I've got to call myself out on that.
[Cut back to the gifted hater in front of the camera]
Gifted Hater: So there you have it, haters. Even the gifted hater can find flaws in his own part. But don't get it twisted, I'm still better than all of you. And if you think you can do better, then show me. But until then, keep on hating, because that's what we do best. Peace.
[Closing shot of the gifted hater throwing up a peace sign and walking off camera][close]
He's stated multiple times that he is doing this for entertainment. If you're taking any of it seriously in any capacity you should probably dial it back a bit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OirFqjUpx1wMore compliments than what I expected considering... everything. Funny that GH is being used to draw attention in the title of the show he parodied.
I remember when Gary Rogers started his Youtube thing, before he got picked up by Thrasher. I guess Gifted Hated will become part of the industry at some point.

I think he’s already part of the industry. Skates with pros, has a connection to sci-fi and last resort. His pocket mag followed is one of the most viewed and his YouTube numbers per video are usually around 100k. Not to mention he earns more from patreon than most mid-tier pros I’d bet.

lol I just looked and he’s at nearly 2000 patrons paying a minimum of $4.99 per month, which means at least $10,000/m income. And of course, a lot of those probably pay $10 for the higher tier, so $10k is the absolutely floor.

His tax liability has gotta be brutal, though.Nah pros names are worth way more than that. Just ask Keelan dadd
Of course, he only earns a fifth of what Michael Burnett makes, and that’s the real issue.

This video is really embarrassing and catty. I try not to be negative on SLAP, but this video was toxic, passive-aggressive, and even dishonest at times.
Unrelated (not dishonest, just bad data visualization): 3 mins in got hit with this graph (red MS paint doodles are mine):
(https://i.imgur.com/IE3bbZ9.png)
The graph starts at 128,120 rather than 0. Then takes 2/5ths of the graph to get from 128,120 to 500,000. Then takes less than half of that amount to get from 500,000 to 1,000,000. Its like some sort of bizarre logarithmic graph for no reason. I'm so confused.
This guy seems to care more about presentation, production quality, and -appearing- smart/professional/mature than anything else. He seems like he smugly looks down on others who don't carry his own demeanor, even though he too resorts to bully-tactics, but just behind an intellectual facade.
I don't have any context for this channel but it seems he is holding a major grudge with GH over something, and this video is using the presentation of "facts and logic" to defeat Gifted Hater "in the marketplace of ideas". The "Gifted Haters fans are children buying Patreon subscriptions with their parents credit cards" bit just felt so bitter. So did making fun of GH's voice and appearance behind the guise of "I'm just showing a video of someone else critiquing him!".
There is plenty to critique GH about, but this felt like it was entirely in bad faith. As well as schoolyard bully comments about GH rather than substantive critique.
On a more positive note, I just watched Dumb Data's Chad Caruso 50 States analysis video, and that was excellent. I watched that challenge live as it was uploaded (and his previous 30 tricks 30 days challenge live as he uploaded) so it was cool to see this type of breakdown. Dumb Data should stick to more positive content, this GH video was a really bad look for him, but I think Dumb Data has a niche in skateboarding that's worthwhile. He just needs to drops the ego and keeps things more positive.
Also, reminder to everyone that there is no such thing objectivity when it comes to data, news reporting, history, etc. All humans are biased. Data is biased. Beware of "objectivity" STEM-lords.
I can't stand that dumb data guy, everytime he tries to diss or make joke it gets pretty embarrassing.Yeah. He's obviously trying to attract views by using Gifted Hater in the title; the same thing he mentioned other channels doing.
He is milking probably this topic for views now that the battle at berrics is gone.
My theory with dumb data is it started as a fun idea/joke like how stupid would it be if someone actually went into such specific detail but then after a few videos it's like what's the point anymore but also can't quit now cos they've got some followingI wanna give you the benefit of the doubt, but dude seems to really like the Rodney vs. Daewon videos and Ryan Decenzo's skating, so I'm hesitant to give him any credit for being that ironic or not actually invested in his number crunching schtick. He has terrible taste/takes.

☮︎ https://youtu.be/fSYJ924uor8 (https://youtu.be/fSYJ924uor8)I do think he has a point that Strobeck approaches black culture quite strangely. Always thought Strobeck's instance on white skaters skating to rock and pop and black skaters skating to hiphop and r&b (occasionally jazz and reggae) quite weird. While this is already common in skate videos, it is blatantly obvious in Strobecks videos especially considering how often he makes separate montages for the black skaters and the white skaters.

Expand QuoteHater and Ted did a really good video about their experiences with Jenkem. I hope they make them public.[close]
huh?
Damn so Ted getting into hot water at work from his exchange with an IG account who's name escapes me was pretty much all on Jenkem. The way he explains it, it sounds like a pretty botched editorial decision.
Here's the details:
Ted writes an essay called Skateboarding is Not Art for the Jenkem book. He clarifies that he knows this is a hot take and will probably get him a lot of heat if published online and so they agree not to publish it anywhere but the book. The book gets published and no one reads the piece. Jenkem later hits him up to do a hot take article. He comes up with Tom Penny is the father of the swagged out skatepark denizen and they don't love it. He hears nothing back about if they are gonna publish it or not but, one day, out of nowhere, his mentions go crazy. Turns out instead of publishing the Tom Penny article, they reprint Skateboarding is Not Art as his hot take. Skatemunch or whatever says that Ted was very many mean times to them over the DMs to Ted's employer. Ted gets called to the principal's office and gets fired.

he reuploaded to his patreon with a preface saying he removed it because there was a section he felt a little naïve posting the video publicly which had a section about cultural appropriation, etc that at that time wasn't well thought out and realized sometimes the general youtube audience needs to have their hand held through what he's saying without it being looked at the wrong way or out of context. the version on patreon is a little more annotated than what was uploaded to youtube. he also felt as a white person, he doesn't have the say who gets to use black culture. bringing it back to where he strives to keep the channel not political.
imo, i think he should have uploaded the Ted/Jenkem video onto his YouTube and then the Kader/Violet video on Patreon.
he also seems a little burnt out. not uploading to youtube as frequently as he used to, on top of all the videos made on him following his street part, he said he does not like the current climate of youtube and finds it toxic and weird. he seems to be finding some solace when he twitch streams and has these patreon vids.

maybe but not the worst decision taking the video down given how much information in it seemed lackadaisical.
-the critique of Strobeck owning a company that has used primarily black imagery/culture is somewhat valid, but considering he's stated how open he is to allowing the team to shape the aesthetic and vision for the brand, I wouldn't say it's as much Strobeck capitalizing on black culture as it is a brand aesthetic representative of a team that's majority black. standalone drops from Kyle Teh are a good example of this. definitely better than Bill imposing a white brand identity upon the team's black riders.
-he implied that the wood from the latest Peace board drops are sub-par, which is reflected in their pricepoint. Violet has used PS and BBS for their most recent drops, arguably the woodshops with the highest reputation for quality. with such a simple graphic, it seems logical that the pricepoint is reflected in the simplified screen process for the decks, and not the wood quality. he goes on to say that he doesn't know how selling boards for $48 could be profitable. I think someone of Joa's status & connection to the industry should well know what is profitable/margins look like between brands and woodshops. selling decks for $48 is definitely well within profitable margins without compromising quality, albeit not as profitable as $70/board.
-finally, I don't remember exactly how he said it but he seemed to imply that Strobeck started the brand as a way to capitalize on another group of kids, but it seems clear that the brand was started to give a home to a crew of kids that likely weren't going to find a place on FA/Hockey, and it made more sense to build a brand that would support the whole crew, instead of only a few of them making it.
normally I wouldn't care but given the size of his audience and how many kids take his word as scripture, I think it's important to clarify potential misinformation, especially in regards to brand identities, product, and accusations of cultural appropriation.
additionally, given that its surmised he now makes +$120k/yr just off this type of content, I think it would be responsible to ensure the information is correct before broadcasting it to his audience considering he's essentially turning a profit on other's misfortunes.
I like watching his videos but agree that his content and the bubble it exists in seems destined to inevitably burst.

he reuploaded to his patreon with a preface saying he removed it because there was a section he felt a little naïve posting the video publicly which had a section about cultural appropriation, etc that at that time wasn't well thought out and realized sometimes the general youtube audience needs to have their hand held through what he's saying without it being looked at the wrong way or out of context. the version on patreon is a little more annotated than what was uploaded to youtube. he also felt as a white person, he doesn't have the say who gets to use black culture. bringing it back to where he strives to keep the channel not political.
imo, i think he should have uploaded the Ted/Jenkem video onto his YouTube and then the Kader/Violet video on Patreon.
he also seems a little burnt out. not uploading to youtube as frequently as he used to, on top of all the videos made on him following his street part, he said he does not like the current climate of youtube and finds it toxic and weird. he seems to be finding some solace when he twitch streams and has these patreon vids.[close]
YouTube is way to toxic for my crowdsourced bulling videos. Might be his wildest take yet.
Could someone dm me the jenkem video please
maybe but not the worst decision taking the video down given how much information in it seemed lackadaisical.
-the critique of Strobeck owning a company that has used primarily black imagery/culture is somewhat valid, but considering he's stated how open he is to allowing the team to shape the aesthetic and vision for the brand, I wouldn't say it's as much Strobeck capitalizing on black culture as it is a brand aesthetic representative of a team that's majority black. standalone drops from Kyle Teh are a good example of this. definitely better than Bill imposing a white brand identity upon the team's black riders.
-he implied that the wood from the latest Peace board drops are sub-par, which is reflected in their pricepoint. Violet has used PS and BBS for their most recent drops, arguably the woodshops with the highest reputation for quality. with such a simple graphic, it seems logical that the pricepoint is reflected in the simplified screen process for the decks, and not the wood quality. he goes on to say that he doesn't know how selling boards for $48 could be profitable. I think someone of Joa's status & connection to the industry should well know what is profitable/margins look like between brands and woodshops. selling decks for $48 is definitely well within profitable margins without compromising quality, albeit not as profitable as $70/board.
-finally, I don't remember exactly how he said it but he seemed to imply that Strobeck started the brand as a way to capitalize on another group of kids, but it seems clear that the brand was started to give a home to a crew of kids that likely weren't going to find a place on FA/Hockey, and it made more sense to build a brand that would support the whole crew, instead of only a few of them making it.
normally I wouldn't care but given the size of his audience and how many kids take his word as scripture, I think it's important to clarify potential misinformation, especially in regards to brand identities, product, and accusations of cultural appropriation.
additionally, given that its surmised he now makes +$120k/yr just off this type of content, I think it would be responsible to ensure the information is correct before broadcasting it to his audience considering he's essentially turning a profit on other's misfortunes.

i agree, he has to be a little bit better when he's presenting in his vids. especially when people are at the point where they withhold reading about any drama/industry news and wait until he makes a video about it.

Pretty sure it's over my head or maybe eye level and there's a loveseat that I think you're meant to pull yourself onto and then climb out of. That's fine for adult sized people but not great for the kids that will mostly use the place. So the helmet rule gets enforced and there's an city employee there when the park is open. I guess the story goes some vert pros who may or may not be with us anymore lived nearby and had input on what got built only to wind up mostly going to Vans. I've seen a couple of older dawn patrol skaters skate it for a half an hour or so and then it looks like a place older skate youtubers will drive to but mostly I don't think it gets the use that a proper skatepark layout would have gotten.

My impression is that the city and CCPD are the problem rather than the park itself. From my (negative) interactions with the local cops, they still have that good ol' boy mentality despite that the city has been gentrified. During the first few years the park opened I remember they would shut it down for days or weeks at a time, for punishment, when they found kids without pads.
The park itself was built in the mid 2000s when there weren't a lot of true vert bowls. At that time it filled a void. The street course was an afterthought, so newer parks are clearly much better in that respect. 15+ years later, it didn't age well. People should be complaining about it.

Well it seemed like the whole point of that segment was just to force that joke three times. Was there even any commentary that was remotely interesting? He said what we all know, that Krooked is kinda boring, but fine, and a safe choice for someone at that point in their career. Riveting stuff. I guess you have to pay a monthly fee to hear him say anything slightly interesting nowadays.

I just subscribed to his patreon and in one of the more recent videos he basically states this, he could get away with being edgy when he started out with a much smaller amount of people watching him but now that he's relatively well known and a large chunk of the skate community watches his shit he feels like he has to tightrope walk with what he says on his free videos (leading to the aforementioned bland takes on Tom Knox being on Krooked), and it makes youtube less fun in general for him.

I was a blogger in a different industry in the 2010s - super smartass, pretty unedited takes etc. Then I started getting actual work in the industry, and meeting the people I was smart about, and my audience got bigger... and then it became weird and awkward and not fun. Even throw away comments on social media that I didn't think twice about would result in text messages/beef.

Been thinking about joining his patreon...I unsubbed a few weeks ago. He just wasn't putting out enough content for me to justify it and the stuff he was putting on it wasn't that interesting but sounds like people are saying he's putting all the good(?) stuff there now instead.

I contributed for a month back when he was at his highest temp popularity-wise, and even then it wasn't worth $10 imo. Totally understandable that you'd take financial advantage of making your juicy content exclusive. Idk something about how he started off on YT then made you pay to watch the same content as he grew in popularity rubs me the wrong way.
Voluntarily or not, he created a borderline cult by putting the same type of content that was previously free on YT behind a paywall. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth that he doesn't post as frequently on Patreon as he did when he was starting on YT (at least once a week, sometimes twice a week), all the while charging you $5 - $10 to watch a steez tier list ffs.

I hear what you’re saying, but going from YouTube to Patreon is kind of the model of independent content creators these days and is much more reliable income wise than YouTube.
That being said it sounds like he’s not putting in the effort sometimes so I can understand how that’s annoying to pay for a sub par product.
I can’t really see GH doing the video content long term but I do enjoy his content for the most part. I don’t follow a lot of skate media so some of this hateline videos keep me up to date somewhat on the juicy gossip side of skating.

$10/month is pretty steep considering the volume and quality of the content. I unsubbed like 6-to-8 months ago and haven't regretted it at all.
That being said, there really isn't a comparable alternative for skate-related YouTube content. He could really kill it if he was consistently productive. How hard is it to review more video parts or work with Ted more frequently?? Hell, he could even do something super lazy like brand overviews and skate history a la other goofy-ass channels, add his uniquely belligerent analysis and comic takes, and he'd be miles ahead. Not exactly the most original content, but I think it'd beat the bi-annual tier lists, park reviews, and hot takes he's been doing.

Laziness is a huge hurdle for him. The FA analysis video he dropped might've been the edit where he did the most background research, but even that video is dominated by subjective takes about Dill and the company. Dude's a street skater and I'm sure it's tough to balance getting clips for a part while making videos, but still kind of seems like a fuck you to his fans that he doesn't produce an amount of content that aligns with how much money he makes ($10k+/mo minimum).

Why be more productive when it’s all going well for him ? most people always want to grow bigger and go to the next step but some are happy with what they get. If 2000 people are supporting him right now why would he stress out about posting more.
If He did put put more stuff maybe the quality would not be there and the audience would burn out (and he might too)). As of now I am always hyped when he drops or when the bunts come back for instance.
Also Putting your self out there for 10 of 1000 of people to watch is a weird ass thing to do. Must be in a good place mentally

You'd think that having 2,000+ patrons would light a fire under your ass to keep growing, and in general the only way to do that is pump out more content. That's what makes him different from other YT skate creators. He goes out of his way to stifle his own growth on YT like making shitty thumbnails to discourage the algorithm from suggesting his videos, and deleting his VODs for non Patrons. He gets more views on average than anyone in YT skateboarding per upload, but his views do cap out at 100-150K, and none of his videos have surpassed 250k.
The Spencer Bartons and John Hills would be spewing out garbage content with this type of reliable Patreon income in the hopes of becoming the next Jake Paul-sized influencer, but GH's slow down in activity is like he doesn't want to be bigger than he is now. Hell even back when he did the Jenkem interview he said he was already bigger than he'd have anticipated, not plugging any of his own shit.
GH is simultaneously the smartest player financially in the YT skateboarding game (which is arguably the most important performance metric), but also seems to not want his likeness growing beyond what it is now.
I'm a patreon subscriber and I think it's totally worth it. The VOD document is one of things that keeps me there. Also like how lately he's been covering different subject matter on the VOD.

Slaps love for GH is bizarre. He’s like a bad cover band of this place and everyone here is like “how does he do it!? Nailed it!” Nailed what exactly? Saying exactly the same obvious mocking of someone who’s an easy target, but have it come from one specific boy-man? I find that type of stuff more palatable when it is coming from the zeitgeist of an anonymous message board than one voice covering their song note for note with no credit.
It’s fun to make fun of steezus, I mean come on right? Low hanging fruit for sure. But for all the weird self promotion, doofy looks, and lame nicknames here’s a guy who came pretty far to make it in skateboarding in California. Why the fuck would I praise obvious criticisms about the guy from some spoiled little unaccompanied minor on his Mac book pro in business class on his way to jolly ol England? If you find his reheated takes amusing, that’s fine, but let’s not get carried away in the adoration.
He’s gotta be so worried that he’s gonna get beat up, but since his fame is inextricably linked to an act that all but assure it is an inevitability, he’s probably in a tough spot. Never knew he wanted to be popular til he got a little taste, now he’s talkin to Jerry and jenkem and he’s high on the fumes. He went hard on this one based on a calculation that steezus’ ven diagram overlaps at “looks serious, actually super nice, non violent”.

I'm pretty much in agreement with @Newphone. Steezus might be corny but at least he's a positive influence on the people who who follow him. The comments GH made that were like 'can Steezus even tre flip?' and 'he only has 50k followers on instagram' were kinda ridiculous and immature.
Who gives a fuck if he can Tre Flip. I wanna know if that fucker can Christ Air.
I don't like to get into this kind of topic but I'm pretty sure GH grew up with a lot more 'privilege' in his upper middle class San Diego family than Steezus ever had, yet here he is kicking him while he's down.

GH's points are all fair. He's not randomly hating on some defenseless industry employee who's just trying to get by, this a response to how SC decided to present himself publicly. I don't have an issue with SC, he's just a cog in the weird grind-set capitalistic delusion that seemingly infects low to mid-tier male influencers, but come on.. that bio is hard to stomach.

For some fluffed up cover letter on whatever his next stop is? Again this was a weird reason to cook somebody for 10 minutes. Did he do something crazy that I'm missing?
I saw Steezus Christ at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Roast deserved in my opinion, that interaction changed my entire opinion of him.
I saw Steezus Christ at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off.

hot takes on our slaps favorite lurker[close]
I'm not watching 10 minutes of a pointless roast session on some dude that's just one of the chill homeys. Anybody that hasn't come to terms with the fact he's just there to vibe is weird. GH going in for no particular reason is weird.[close]
Pretty reasonable and deserved roast in my opinion[close]
For some fluffed up cover letter on whatever his next stop is? Again this was a weird reason to cook somebody for 10 minutes. Did he do something crazy that I'm missing?
I'm pretty much in agreement with @Newphone. Steezus might be corny but at least he's a positive influence on the people who who follow him. The comments GH made that were like 'can Steezus even tre flip?' and 'he only has 50k followers on instagram' were kinda ridiculous and immature.
I don't like to get into this kind of topic but I'm pretty sure GH grew up with a lot more 'privilege' in his upper middle class San Diego family than Steezus ever had, yet here he is kicking him while he's down.
To be fair I wouldn't say slap loves gifted hater. It's probably 30% positive, 30% negative and 40% don't care.
I think just now that the threads in the 70 pages mark it's less about all thoughts on GH and more mostly just for the fans
It's been over a year of this thread, started a poll to see how everyone feels about GH

He could help himself a lot by either dropping the “Christ” or adding middle initial “H”.
at first I thought this was a pretty unfair. Steezus seems nice, but a bit naive. But yeah that bio is fair game and anyone should be able to laugh at that.
He definitely paid someone to write it for him and it's funny as fuck.

Unironically more work then most youtubers/live streamers. GH kinda kooky at times but this a wild criticism.
He shreds.
He "funny".
He can edit.
He can talk.
He got a broader skillset compared to the top earners on streaming platforms. Probably why he's found decent success in such a niche genre of content creation.

Re: him stealing from slap. One of the chatters in his live stream linked this and he roasted it improv, then this vid is edited from that stream.

hot takes on our slaps favorite lurker[close]
Slaps love for GH is bizarre. He’s like a bad cover band of this place and everyone here is like “how does he do it!? Nailed it!” Nailed what exactly? Saying exactly the same obvious mocking of someone who’s an easy target, but have it come from one specific boy-man? I find that type of stuff more palatable when it is coming from the zeitgeist of an anonymous message board than one voice covering their song note for note with no credit.
It’s fun to make fun of steezus, I mean come on right? Low hanging fruit for sure. But for all the weird self promotion, doofy looks, and lame nicknames here’s a guy who came pretty far to make it in skateboarding in California. Why the fuck would I praise obvious criticisms about the guy from some spoiled little unaccompanied minor on his Mac book pro in business class on his way to jolly ol England? If you find his reheated takes amusing, that’s fine, but let’s not get carried away in the adoration.
He’s gotta be so worried that he’s gonna get beat up, but since his fame is inextricably linked to an act that all but assure it is an inevitability, he’s probably in a tough spot. Never knew he wanted to be popular til he got a little taste, now he’s talkin to Jerry and jenkem and he’s high on the fumes. He went hard on this one based on a calculation that steezus’ ven diagram overlaps at “looks serious, actually super nice, non violent”.
To be fair I wouldn't say slap loves gifted hater. It's probably 30% positive, 30% negative and 40% don't care.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Most of the comebacks were so lame and boring and stuff you'd hear any trolls say in the 90s. Unoriginal drivel. I get why you worship GH, since he can actually formulate some funny or clever stuff sometimes, not amateur level trollery. I meant irony of how many people here accuse others of being braindead, while never offering an actual decent argument is astounding. Or my favorite irony, saying that the Nine Club is an echo chamber as if this isn't.
It's just so mind numbingly boring. I haven't paid much attention to SLAP until this topic, so please point me to any actually funny threads, there's gotta be at least someone decent on here, right?

Enjoy it while it lasts. Most of the comebacks were so lame and boring and stuff you'd hear any trolls say in the 90s. Unoriginal drivel. I get why you worship GH, since he can actually formulate some funny or clever stuff sometimes, not amateur level trollery. I meant irony of how many people here accuse others of being braindead, while never offering an actual decent argument is astounding. Or my favorite irony, saying that the Nine Club is an echo chamber as if this isn't.
It's just so mind numbingly boring. I haven't paid much attention to SLAP until this topic, so please point me to any actually funny threads, there's gotta be at least someone decent on here, right?[close]
you kind of remind me of the terminator if he had the personality of Donald trump but instead of trying to kill John Connor he just spends his time enjoying unfettered internet access

The part where he says that 15 years ago there weren't contest skaters threw me off. I do agree that this current era of Street League skaters is pretty unique but there have been skaters that make their living winning contests since skating was invented

getting a signature color way of a shoe before turning pro actually isn't that uncommon (Beatrice's shoe was technically just a colorway). Off the top of my head, there was Zach Allen's emerica color way, Kader's first vans color way, Davis Torgerson's first dc colorway and Adam Arunski' fallen color way.
Y’all know who the blocked out name on the FA list was? I stoopid
haha yeah I love Adam but I doubt that sold very well. I actually saw that Jordan Powell has one for emerica right now. Again, I think Jordan's great but that shoe doesn't exactly seem like it will be flying off the shelvesExpand Quote19:58

Could also be him not expecting to blow up as much as he has. I see it as similar to the bands Gulch, or Sunami. Released some music and played a couple shows with plans of calling it quits after the first few shows, then they blew up so hard during Covid that they were headlining festivals within a year. Is Joa going to go the Gulch route and call it quits while he’s hot? Or go the Sunami route and keep it going until it’s not as funny anymore.
I don't think Vans will be working with Sci-Fi fantasy again, and yeah clearly it was Jerry who gave him that 'inside knowledge'. Also find it strange Jerry supporting somebody who openly get's into peoples heads when Jerry himself has been on the record of saying that a negative comment on a message board crippled him with anxiety for a long period.

if you believe that Lay is an incredible skater then why would him getting a board take away from the brand? I agree that Jerry is still working out his vision and trying to find the company's direction but I can only think that Ryan adds to SFF. and yeah maybe getting skateboarding's internet hater on the squad is "clout chasing" but Joa is also homies w them all and apparently had gotten product prior to Hsu knowing he was GH.Expand QuoteI don't think Vans will be working with Sci-Fi fantasy again, and yeah clearly it was Jerry who gave him that 'inside knowledge'.

SFF was cooler before Ryan Lay went pro for them. Lay is an incredible skater, but after he got a board from Jerry the idea of his company wasn't as exciting. Adding Joa to the team is a pretty clout chase move too.

If Gifted Hater is interested in skateboarding, there are a variety of topics they could cover in their next video. Here are a few suggestions:
Skateboard maintenance and repair: Gifted Hater could create a video that provides tips and techniques for maintaining and repairing skateboards. This could include topics such as replacing bearings, tightening trucks, and fixing chips or cracks in the deck.
Skatepark etiquette: Skateparks can be busy and chaotic places, and it's important for skaters to understand the rules and etiquette that are expected of them. Gifted Hater could create a video that covers the do's and don'ts of skatepark etiquette, such as how to take turns, how to respect other skaters' space, and how to communicate effectively with other skaters.
Skateboarding for beginners: Gifted Hater could create a video that provides an introduction to skateboarding for beginners. This could include topics such as choosing a skateboard, learning the basics of balance and pushing, and progressing to more advanced tricks.
Skateboarding culture and history: Skateboarding has a rich history and culture, and Gifted Hater could create a video that explores some of the key figures, moments, and trends in skateboarding history. This could include topics such as the evolution of skateboard design, the rise of skateboarding in popular culture, and the impact of skateboarding on fashion and art.
Skateboarding safety: Skateboarding can be a risky sport, and it's important for skaters to understand how to stay safe while they're riding. Gifted Hater could create a video that covers topics such as wearing protective gear, learning how to fall safely, and avoiding common skateboarding injuries.

This is where you should have stopped. People commenting on shit they haven't even watched or read is what's wrong with internet culture. Why do people feel like they can comment specifically on something they literally know nothing about? Like hey I haven't watched or read anything about this topic but here's my super harsh opinion that's definitely correct. And then other people just take what is said and run with it instead of thinking "wait a second, why should I take what this guy is saying to heart when they literally didn't even watch the video"
No he's not platforming for her not to have a place in the industry, but you wouldn't know that because you didn't watch the video.
If I was a girl that was absolutely shredding and I saw beatrice's level of skating being turned "pro" it would be punch in the gut for me. It delegitimizes womens skating and is not a good look for them. There are so many girls that absolutely rip out there that surely want better than this for their sport but no way are they able to speak out.

She fits their narrative. But do your best to share footage and get people on to skaters like Nika so we can move past Beatrice being the biggest face of POC women skaters cause it's hard to watch.

Zoom meeting. Letting a YouTube video run in the background is a little flagrant, I just looked at guitars on Craigslist.
Ultimately I think Beatrice is a completely mediocre skateboarder but I agree with all the haters who say that it absolutely doesn't matter and that the only reason why anyone has ever got a skateboard with their name on it is because someone else thought that they could sell them.
Expand QuoteExpand QuoteI haven't watched his latest video yet, and based on what I've been hearing I probably wont.
At least with Skateline, Gary's commentary is more playful, and you don't have a rabid fanbase preying and acting on his every word.
It's definitely gotten to the point where producing and monetizing this type of content for that large of an audience has devolved into jock-like/kook behavior.
Again, I haven't watched his last couple videos and don't really see myself at this point, but just off the discourse alone, shit is getting embarrassing. Is he really platforming for a black woman to not have a board/place in the industry? What kind of shit is that?
Sooner or later, people will have to come to terms that being a "deeply online" skateboarder really isn't that cool and actually kind of just loser behavior.
I don't even have that much of a problem with the guy, but give it a rest dude.
He should make a tier list of all of his bricked deleted videos that have flopped.[close]
This is where you should have stopped. People commenting on shit they haven't even watched or read is what's wrong with internet culture. Why do people feel like they can comment specifically on something they literally know nothing about? Like hey I haven't watched or read anything about this topic but here's my super harsh opinion that's definitely correct. And then other people just take what is said and run with it instead of thinking "wait a second, why should I take what this guy is saying to heart when they literally didn't even watch the video"
No he's not platforming for her not to have a place in the industry, but you wouldn't know that because you didn't watch the video.
If I was a girl that was absolutely shredding and I saw beatrice's level of skating being turned "pro" it would be punch in the gut for me. It delegitimizes womens skating and is not a good look for them. There are so many girls that absolutely rip out there that surely want better than this for their sport but no way are they able to speak out.[close]
I don't think I ever directly implied what he was saying outside of that the implication that he was questioning her professional status as a skateboarder, but from the 20+ responses I've seen on other social platforms since yesterday, there are plenty of his followers that are, which was what I was referencing in regards to his rabid fanbase.
I've seen enough Gifted Hater videos to know what they include. It's not like dude penned a fucking op-ed for the NYT. Bro is playing YouTube clips at his desk wearing a fucking headset.
"It delegitimizes women's skating"
Uhhhh, yeah no. Implying watching her skate delegitimizes women's skateboarding entirely is an absolutely insane take.
When will people realize there is no objective responsibilities to being a pro skateboarder.
It's an entirely made up thing. Productivity, skill level, etc. It's purely subjective.
Most people who make it in the industry make it off of personal relationships, which seems to make sense given her connection to a handful of the industry's most powerful brands. Not to mention every time I've run into her she's been more than gracious.
So again, to go back to what someone said at the top of this page, she has now made her Instagram private because who would want to deal with all of that negativity? Just let her skate.

I get the argument that a board company can give a board to anyone they please and they could be an "ambassador" to the brand regardless of their skill, but the reason why it delegitimizes women's skateboarding is that if someone is the most famous at the thing regardless of their subpar skill, it sends the message that skills don't matter. Whereas in men's skateboarding, say what you will, proven skills are very much an important factor. And if skills are not important, that really muddies the waters in terms of what the expectations are for women in the sport or people following the sport. (and I use "sport" here loosely, sub in "activity" if you find it distasteful)
Anna Kournikova was once the most famous female tennis player. She never won a title but men thought she was attractive. That delegitimized women's tennis, because even if her success brought some more attention to the sport, they weren't interested in the other competitors or the sport, only her looks. It's like a zero-sum game where all the attention is funneled into one direction and effectively might even provide less visibility to the other competitors.
Does this comparison seem unfair or irrelevant in your opinion? I could also see the argument that getting overly hung up on her being a POC woman is unhelpful and she might have a pro board due to something other than sex or race, but I don't know, I'm out of my depth here.

Especially one with such a limited world view. He is constantly saying that video parts and street skating are the core of skateboarding, and that it has always been this way. It’s true that it has been this way for as long as he has been alive, but it certainly has not always been that way and I think anyone who understands even a little bit of skate history knows this. Skateboarding existed for decades without videos, without street skating, and with a pro only getting a deck because of their popularity (usually due to contest wins).
Whether he realizes it or not, he is upset that there is a new form of pro skateboarding taking shape. There is definitely an irony in dying on this hill, when you yourself have achieved amateur skateboard status based on your YouTube channel.

Preach man. Used to be contests were the path, then Rocco started turning kids like Billy Waldman pro at age 12 or whatever. I dont really like Dill but he has as much right as anyone to turn someone pro. Separating YouTube videos and Instagram videos like they’re this wholly different animal is disengenous on some level, as much as I can appreciate how proper video parts distinguish certain skaters as being great.
I was more weirded out by the "Hey Guys, give it a chance" take on SLS going to Rumble. I get that it may potentially be easier to stream the (single) event than it was on YT but of course it may not be! Chances are it's cruddy streaming tech thrown together by opportunistic right wing money just like the other new "conservative media" sources that popped up in the wake of all the deplatforming. Sorry but it's another weird take from a dude who seems to stan Sam Hyde and is by default an OC bro.

You should really watch the video before deciding to be weird and make this about race and gender.
I don't think Gifted Hater is a closet conservative. He's just an edgy white guy who wears Trump hats "ironically" and likes dickheads like Destiny and Sam Hyde.
The criticisms should mostly fall on Dill for giving her a board. You think someone would deny that opportunity for more money and success? I do think she is kind of wasting the opportunity to by not filming street parts. She's definitely a good skater and has it in her. Maybe she doesn't think it would be worth it because of injuries etc.? I don't hate her for milking this at all though. Go get it.
Mate I just don't care. You take this shit way too seriously. Pro skating and the entire industry is absurd enough as it is.

Twitter is a deeply politicized medium, be it left or right. Every user who stays in a bubble experiences a narrowing of thinking: anyone who is not for us is against us. Sure its not a political party but the echo chamber hes talking about is sharing a left-leaning, mainly liberal ideology.
Language shapes and edits, changes and creates reality, but also serves to describe it. Sure he uses some buzzwords mainly used by trolls, but that happens when someones terminally online.

Nothing in skate history, not even /r/skateboarding or Slap, has been more annoying and fart-sniffing than "#skatetwitter". In a meeting now but I can't wait to see what he has to say.[close]
Co-Worker: manysnakes? What do think about that?
manysnakes: Pardon?
Co-Worker: About the proposal?
manysnakes: Oh the proposal, I like it…
Co-Worker: You want to fire Matthew?
manysnakes: No, sorry, I wanna keep him. Of course.
Co-Worker: Were you not listening before?
manysnakes: No, sorry, I was texting about my kid.
Co-Worker: I saw… well I saw you on a website. Looked old, like early 2000’s. Sorry, I’ve noticed you on there before, what is that?
manysnakes: :)[close]
Zoom meeting. Letting a YouTube video run in the background is a little flagrant, I just looked at guitars on Craigslist.
Ultimately I think Beatrice is a completely mediocre skateboarder but I agree with all the haters who say that it absolutely doesn't matter and that the only reason why anyone has ever got a skateboard with their name on it is because someone else thought that they could sell them.[close]
Well played.
I totally agree with you by the way. I enjoy Gifted Hater, but dont agree with everything he says by any means. I feel like the rules for skating are totally arbitrary and listening to a 25 year old and then taking his words as gospel is plain silly.[close]
Especially one with such a limited world view. He is constantly saying that video parts and street skating are the core of skateboarding, and that it has always been this way. It’s true that it has been this way for as long as he has been alive, but it certainly has not always been that way and I think anyone who understands even a little bit of skate history knows this. Skateboarding existed for decades without videos, without street skating, and with a pro only getting a deck because of their popularity (usually due to contest wins).
Whether he realizes it or not, he is upset that there is a new form of pro skateboarding taking shape. There is definitely an irony in dying on this hill, when you yourself have achieved amateur skateboard status based on your YouTube channel.[close]
Preach man. Used to be contests were the path, then Rocco started turning kids like Billy Waldman pro at age 12 or whatever. I dont really like Dill but he has as much right as anyone to turn someone pro. Separating YouTube videos and Instagram videos like they’re this wholly different animal is disengenous on some level, as much as I can appreciate how proper video parts distinguish certain skaters as being great.[close]
But if you want to say that instagramming cool clothes and low level tricks at the skatepark is the same as putting out on a street part, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s a short cut.
How old is Beatrice? Everyone saying she's been hooked up by FA for like 10 years got me tripping. I can't imagine her being older than like 21 tops. I guess that's not too farfetched, but people make it seem like she's been an industry staple for over a decade, which lol no.She's 28

I read a quote today that said something like "If we used a different language, we would have a different experience of the world". As soon as you make a topic political, you introduce a lot of baggage and biases with it.

Ya kinda did there. But I was addressing, more directly, the people that are acting like her achievements are equivalent to those that have put out traditional parts. Separate from his usual type of videos, Joa put out an actual part. Also, he's not pro. I don't get that equivalence either.

I think the important thing is that we don't label someone racist or misogynistic just because they criticized a black woman. It seems like some people in this thread want to live in a world where it's simply not allowed to criticize a person that is underrepresented in some group/activity, no matter what the criticism is. And if that type of criticism happens, it automatically means the person making the criticism is bigoted. That's insane to me, and I don't want to live in that world.

Remember when he said with the Skate Mama/Skate Pussy videos how he makes a point not to attack female skaters?
Well dude, how about you don’t go on a 90 minute rant about a black female skater you don’t like? Where’s the fraud in what Beatrice is doing? It’s no more fraudulent than GH’s little kiddie Twitch daycare he runs with his Patreon.
I’m even a fan of this guy usually, but he’s not moving correct in my opinion. He’s not using his power and influence wisely. He’s going after extremely low hanging fruit, which is doing the exact opposite of elevating the conversation (as I felt he was before). Definitely some right wing Fox News hatebait bullshit.
Also the irony of Joa calling out Skate Twitter soy boys with his nasally whiny delivery… I think we’re all a little too used to him at this point but the dude’s a total mama’s boy.
Expand QuoteIs he really platforming for a black woman to not have a board/place in the industry? What kind of shit is that?[close]
beatrice isn't the only black woman that skateboards, she's not even the only black woman to have a pro board
Yeah Beatrice isn't out there dropping street part after street part, but yeesh... what a target.
You can come out and say she isn't doing the same things as other pros and feel like you're dropping some truth bomb that nobody wants to admit... but really all you're doing is pointing out what everyone already sees/knows/understands on some level, yet we accept and support her because she's still doing something groundbreaking. Are nerdy white skaters really going to try to set the bar for how much/what type of footage a black female pro should put out? I sure hope not. Her career isn't for the Gifted Haters of the world. In 5-10 years there will be a black girl putting out legitimate parts because Beatrice's Instagram got them stoked. Try to explain how that's a bad thing...
Beatrice, if you're reading this (fat fucking chance), it really wouldn't hurt your case to put out a proper street part lol. But I honestly don't give a fuck, I really see no worthy reason to hate. Wack shit. It's so goddamn easy to pay attention to anything else in skateboarding if someone or something isn't for you, and even easier to find funnier topics or people to talk shit on than Beatrice Domond. She's been low hanging fruit here for a few years.
Last but not least, @Kook Me Amadeus you have got to be that skate Twitter dude that GH put on blast on his IG story... or that dude's friend or something lmao
I'm gonna gnar you a bunch just because you want to be kooked so I'll do the opposite, that will be funny

This is a good and correct take. Dude is targeting someone in an already marginalized group in skating (and life) and that seems bad. He's really taking a track that is veering into some weird Tucker Carlson territory.

what would you guys say if he completely omitted her when going through each and every FA rider? Wouldn't it be weird if he went through an entire company's roster to examine a mostly stagnant team, and then just skips the newest pro who has the least output of any of them?

Again.. it’s not about her lack of skill, it’s the lack of trying. People disagree with her pro status because she used to be much better at skating and it no longer seems like she’s trying. She’s regressed, won’t do anything about it, yet still talks in interviews and ig captions like she deserves everything she has.
Part of the reason GH went in on Beatrice specifically when he could have gone after so many other kooks in the industry is because she's given media attention as a representative of skateboarding. Him arguing that she shouldn't be pro serves to reinforce the greater point that the features about her in NYT, Vogue, etc. are unearned and a bad thing to encourage due to the standard they set in the subculture. That you can be rewarded for putting in subpar effort granted you can talk yourself up enough in interviews and market yourself as a respectable figure. His criticisms of Dill and those who prop her up as an "industry plant" attest to this point.
If she is put on a pedestal for attributes other than her skating, she is not paving the way for other female skaters. She is paving the way for other influencers to steal the spotlight from people who actually put the work in.Expand QuotePart of the reason GH went in on Beatrice specifically when he could have gone after so many other kooks in the industry is because she's given media attention as a representative of skateboarding.

I hear you for sure. But doesn’t that sound a little fear based? There’ll be others if we allow this! I’m all for some healthy gate keeping, but how is a Black girl who went viral on instagram, who inspired tons of female skaters over the past decade, getting pro status on a dying brand so much of an issue. It sounds like some right wing scapegoating. So many other influencer skaters get coverage like that too. She’s paving the way for other female skaters to follow her path. The next generation is already set up so much better. Just don’t buy her board if you don’t like her.

Just being a black female pro. It's hard for le to come up with a list off top, so to me, that makes it pretty groundbreaking since it isn't really normalized as much as some folks are making it seem.
@pizzafliptofakie If I remember correctly, he went in a bit harder and for a longer amount of time to discredit her... second only to the biggest Kook, Elijah Berle. I could be mistaken though, I only watched that vid once through
Edit: side note, I don't think Beatrice being pro despite prioritizing IG will result in some net negative for skateboarding, which seems to be Joa's argument. Skating is large enough and has enough variety for cool shit to continue happening unaffected, having its proper place as the stuff really doing the legwork to influence and progress skating. I see more people entering skating as making it larger, putting more money into the industry, and something that doesn't necessarily water down the cool shit.
This still happened despite Beatrice being pro, and it'll continue to happen. It'll continue to be easy to ignore IG skateboarding if that's not your shit. Who cares? To make a big deal out of it and spend as much time as we all are discussing it is misplaced imo. Is Dick Rizzo pissed that Beatrice has her name on a board? Probably not, so wr probably shouldn't be either.

If y'all are cool with a precedent being set where skaters come up through Instagram, barely skate, and get all this attention as an "influencer" propped up by the industry than that's on you. You can continue to parasocially support by commenting "stoked for them" and "get that bag" under every corny lifestyle article and brand endorsement post while getting nothing of value in return.
It doesn't just go for Beatrice, though she's one of the most high profile examples, but for any person of any race or gender being propped up as a representative for skateboarding while doing none of those things to earn that place. Skating as an industry is subject to certain kinds of capital constraints, and as a subculture it's subject to certain kinds of cultural constraints; in other words, it's a zero sum game. The more this influencer type BS is given money and encouragement, the more it takes away from people who actually care about skating and are trying to contribute to it and progress it in a productive way.
The question is not, 'Is skateboarding big enough for everyone?' But how do we highlight who/what is worth highlighting with the available resources of the industry. Because while skateboarding can grow and small board brands that no one pays attention to can emerge with their own opportunities, what's considered cool and who the respected figures of the industry are will always be a limited circle. I think if we encourage people to take this kind of approach then we allow Vogue and the NYT to dictate what's cool in skating, regardless of their actual merit as skateboarders, and those people are ultimately rewarded with pro status over others. Call it fear based, but I think if you care about the integrity of skateboarding then its reasonable to call this kind of stuff out for the problems it raises.

This has become the Kook Me Amadeus rebuttal thread and everyone but me hates it.
If you're asking about an example of someone being propped up as a representative of skateboarding who earned that spot I'd cite Alexis Sablone, who was getting a lot of media attention from outside skateboarding as a figurehead around the time the Olympics were happening. She came on the scene with a part in "PJ Ladd's WHL" in 2002 when the market for female skating was a fragment of what it currently is. She's consistently put out great parts like the one in a Converse video recently which had her in contest for Skater of the Year, doing absolutely buck shit, pushing women's street skating forward (and she ain't young). She's one of the central advocates for women's skating, helps design skateparks, and doesn't gloat over herself in every interview.
My latter point was that there hypothetically is room for everyone in skating, assuming brands keep emerging, but the mainstream and money in skating will always be relegated to a select few. I think people should be rewarded at that echelon for criteria other than solely 'are they popular on Instagram', 'do they fit a particular demographic', 'can he/she/they be made to look cool in puff pieces'.

Especially one with such a limited world view. He is constantly saying that video parts and street skating are the core of skateboarding, and that it has always been this way. It’s true that it has been this way for as long as he has been alive, but it certainly has not always been that way and I think anyone who understands even a little bit of skate history knows this. Skateboarding existed for decades without videos, without street skating, and with a pro only getting a deck because of their popularity (usually due to contest wins).
Whether he realizes it or not, he is upset that there is a new form of pro skateboarding taking shape. There is definitely an irony in dying on this hill, when you yourself have achieved amateur skateboard status based on your YouTube channel.[close]
Preach man. Used to be contests were the path, then Rocco started turning kids like Billy Waldman pro at age 12 or whatever. I dont really like Dill but he has as much right as anyone to turn someone pro. Separating YouTube videos and Instagram videos like they’re this wholly different animal is disengenous on some level, as much as I can appreciate how proper video parts distinguish certain skaters as being great.

Chris Branaugh was the tween kid that Rocco turned pro for World as a show of power towards the industry in general and Mike V. in particular. I was gonna comment on this Beatrice topic by saying it reminded me of Chris Branaugh/World/Rocco, so good looking out. It’s basically Dill trying to flex like Rocco, dating people to shout, “the Empress has no clothes.”
He seems like a postmates every night kind of guy. I can see him pouring milk into some cereal though. Perhaps an instant ramen every now and then, maybe even an instant oatmeal
I agree with Amadeus. My opinion is that if you're aware, as a white person, of the reality of race in America, the wise move is to not come after a woman of color. You can say that quite simply, in fact. "Not really my job to talk shit on this person. Being a black woman comes with challenges I'll never understand, as one of the whitest people on the planet."
You certainly don't have to, it just might be the more tolerant move.
Also, the cool thing about skateboarding is that since it's not a point-based system, Johnathon Athlete Switchflipbacktail is not always the one who gets his name on the board. It comes down to intangibles. Because of that, skateboarding is the perfect place for someone who is generally seen to have less value to make a little (and I mean A LITTLE) money from the industry and get some notoriety.

Beatrice is 28?! I thought she was much younger than that - I was hoping/expecting her skating to gradually improve enough to not be a conversation topic anymore. If you're 28 and you've been consistently working at skating since you were a kid, you're most likely as good as you're going to get (and your skate prime has probably already happened, tbh). Not like she's jumping down El Toro or anything, but 28 is getting to the age where your body starts to let you down.
Not saying she 'doesn't deserve to be pro' - if Dill wants to make you a pro, you're a pro - but it does kind of change my understanding of things.

9 times out of 10… Kraft Mac N Cheese is better than any “fancy” mac and cheese you get from a restaurant. Maybe this belongs in the Hot Little Takes thread.
I hate Mac and cheese
Mac & Cheese is hugely overrated.
Putting Lobster in that shit is a disrespect to lobsters everywhere.
Mac & Cheese is hugely overrated.
Putting Lobster in that shit is a disrespect to lobsters everywhere.
I definitely understand why some of y'all view Mac n cheese as childish and/or unnecessary to eat anything other than Kraft Mac n cheese, especially since the ladder can be often true, but getting Mac n cheese at a really good soul food place can very likely change your mind. This shit can be an art. I very much agree that the boujee Mac n cheese's tend to not be that good and also be quite extra but, Mac n cheese at a nice soul food place where the recipe has been passed down for generations and is made with passion, is quite the treat
To be honest, while mac is great and spätzle even more so - in terms of quick and creamy pasta recipes absolutely nothing tops a great plate of spaghetti carbonara (the egg version - not the Alfredo sauce one)That and a good gnocchi (if you count that as pasta) are my favorite pasta dishes, good soul food mac n cheese is a very close third though (might be worth noting I've never had Käsespätzle, looking forward to trying that). My mom makes a fantastic spaghetti carbonara. She makes it with pancetta, which can be controversial but her's comes out delicious!

I can be a bit of a food snob, especially since my girlfriend works at a farm and is friends with local food producers, but I totally agree. All that fancy lobster and smoked gouda mac n cheese doesn't hit the same as Kraft. My second favorite is the mac from chikfila.
Expand QuoteBreaded Mac n cheese can be so nice. If anyone has leftover Mac n cheese in the fridge I highly recommended dividing it in little squares or spheres (most Mac n cheese sticks together when it's cold), breading it and then frying it. You will get some lovely little Mac n cheese bites! I recommend a marinara, aioli, sriracha, Valentina or chipotle mayo dipping sauce but there is for sure room to get creative. It's a fun little versatile snackExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand Quotethink abt the caliber of skaters that are on/were on FA. then look at beatrice. can you name a single memorable trick, part, contest, clip?
even though most the guys in FA don't skate anymore, at one point they were some of the "coolest" skaters in the scene and established themselves as so.
people are upset because beatrice barely puts out anything other then a 50-50 fs shuv out and a mediocre ig clip once a year and she spends most of her time doing interviews abt how deserved she is of her position in skateboarding. like cmon dude[close]
Shut up and say something about macaroni and cheese we’ve moved on[close]
You gotta bake that shit, get some bread crumbs or panko on top and finish it with the broiler.[close][close]
Pretty much all the recipes I see for mac'n'cheese (I'm from Europe so it's kind of an exotic dish around here) say to bake it with breadcrumbs, but it seems like such an extra step. Like first you boil the mac, making it perfect edible and cooked already, then you mix it in the sauce, which is already a perfectly good meal, and then at that point you should put it in the oven for some more time? If I wanted to spend an hour cooking I wouldn't be making mac n cheese, you know?
Instead I just make it a quattro formaggi and serve it with a chilled Gamay.
*edit deep fried mac'n'cheese bites (with a bit of jalapeno) are fucking great though, but I'm not making that shit at home

Dam didn’t know about Käsespätzle and Älplermagronen
The alpine one incorporates apples? Fuck. Might have to try a recipe was looking some up. Thanks SLAP. Anyone have pics of a Mac they made.
If you think box macaroni and cheese is acceptable that’s very questionable. A nice artisan cheese with quality noodles is enjoyable. The meal already lacks nutrition, especially Kraft boxed, might as well indulge with good quality less processed whole ingredients imo. I understand the appeal of trash but I’m less keen on it personally.
I’ve had pasta on pizza before. Would be a matter of just pouring it on top of a crust but it’s similar to eating macaroni and cheese in a bread bowl so very very indulgent but gotta sin sometimes and enjoy life.
Surprised I forgot to mention good BBQ spot Mac n cheese in my own posts! The stuff I had when I went to Texas was fantastic.

Yep, Nadsat is Burgess's made-up language; it's a bit of phoneticized or real Russian (as you mentioned) mixed with some Cockney rhyming slang. I'm really old; I had the movie on VHS and read the novel during my junior year of high school (1994-1995) and have been a huge fan ever since.

I still hold to this day that Wendy Carlos was maybe the only person to fully grasp the original sound design intent of the synthesizer. That via layering, that one could create an entire symphony through one instrument.

He killed it in Inglorious Basterds.

I've watched an insane amount of movies and have been lucky enough to live close to actual video rental stores for the past 15 years or so. I'm a film buff, cinephile, cineaste, yadda yadda. Pierre Clémenti is a very distinct actor and I'm a fan, so it wasn't hard to spot. My favorite foreign director has been Rainer Werner Fassbinder for a long ass time, but I like all kinds of directors, genres, etc. Also super into genre cinema aka cult/exploitation/horror/sci-fi fantasy/film noir/action adventure/etc. I probably should get on the film threads.

I made a vegetarian carbonara the other night (with rigatoni) and it was probably the most difficult time I have ever had while cooking. I cursed it. But it tasted pretty good.

I was a fan at first, but like Icarus, he’s flying too close to sun. Feels like he is trying to pivot to being a sponsored skater. I’m not interested in a hungry am cloaked as a critic. Brand deal/allegiance discredits him for me.its like that movie The Last Big Thing when it's revealed the zinester who heckles comedians and shits on aspiring actors was in fact aspirational too at one time.
As for the mac, kraft and add shredded cheese or no lie… velveeta shells are a dark horse.

Let me run this by you: I understand what you’re saying about the human tendency towards losing objectivity once they have a conflict of interest, but it could just be the case that he legitimately doesn’t have anything controversial or interesting to say about any of the companies that hook him up. What scandal or intrigue has there been from Sci-Fi or Last Resort for him to criticize?
For what it’s worth, I remember him talking a good amount of shit on Real graphics at the same time that they were sending him boards.

I think the argument is less that he isn't going to be sufficiently critical of his sponsors and more that, now that he has access to the inner workings of the skateboard industry and the pros he used to critique, he will temper his opinions.
Which is probably true, I don't care. He's an entertainer, and if he memes himself into a career as a professional skateboarder than more power to him.

Why waste your time posting on YT for a couple hundred bucks worth of ad revenue on a watered down upload when you have 2,200 patrons?
I've had a whole week off and a lot of time on my hands trying to bounce back from a slight depression (that kicked my ass...) Ponied up the $4.99 yesterday for the patreon and I gotta say it's been worth it.Ted Barrow on his own patreon made a later post where he mentioned something along the lines of regretting airing out Jenkem like that even though he was pissed they pretty much slighted him.
How hard they went in on jenkem mag surprised me a bit, and I had a hard time discerning whether or not gh and Ted came off sounding a little spoiled. Ultimately, they were speaking from their experiences and everything they discussed were valid and warranted.
I completely understand why he's not so invested in YouTube these days.

I think it's more that skate media is pretty uncritical, so having someone with (usually) reasonable critique, who is part of the industry, is pretty refreshing.

Your point would be valid if GH could take criticism the way he dishes it out. His fragile yet inflated ego from the fast fame he stumbled upon is too transparent to justify support let alone financial backing. Obviously it’s not that deep for most of his fans who support him and just want some laughs so it’s whatever.

im so lost at this whole ted barrow situation. from what ive read so far, im guessing there was a video made on the patreon shit talking jenkem & ted barrow somehow got fucked over by them or something?
please feed me the haters opinion so i dont have to think
Damn so Ted getting into hot water at work from his exchange with an IG account who's name escapes me was pretty much all on Jenkem. The way he explains it, it sounds like a pretty botched editorial decision.I'm still drawing a blank on the IG account that Ted got into it with after the article was published but my brain is coming up with stokemuch?
Here's the details:
Ted writes an essay called Skateboarding is Not Art for the Jenkem book. He clarifies that he knows this is a hot take and will probably get him a lot of heat if published online and so they agree not to publish it anywhere but the book. The book gets published and no one reads the piece. Jenkem later hits him up to do a hot take article. He comes up with Tom Penny is the father of the swagged out skatepark denizen and they don't love it. He hears nothing back about if they are gonna publish it or not but, one day, out of nowhere, his mentions go crazy. Turns out instead of publishing the Tom Penny article, they reprint Skateboarding is Not Art as his hot take. Skatemunch or whatever says that Ted was very many mean times to them over the DMs to Ted's employer. Ted gets called to the principal's office and gets fired.

His entire personality is centered around sharing subjective opinions that paint skateboarding figures in a bad light. Shaming Tom Knox for fathering too many kids, making an edit that is 100% damaging Steezus right after he just got fired from the nine club, sending his minions to harass Beatrice because she didn’t make a street part like he did. Not a patron but I wouldn’t be surprised if his hot content is even more uncharitable.

I watched his X-Games commentary video and, man, I think I'm pretty much over this kid.Yeah, haven't really been feeling the commentary much lately. It gets old pretty quick but it's kind of chill to have in the background while doing something else.
I can only listen to someone trash talk everyone's clothes and sponsors for so long before it gets boring.
I never gave much of a fuck how people dress to begin with, and I'm not trying to hate on people trying to get a paycheck.

mostly fairpoints, but i'm not sure what the value is in saying 'it's like he's a flat ground specialist attempting to apply his skills to street!' - that's literally the premise.

The fact that he had to add that voiced over disclaimer at the end (the walking back on ripping on him stuff) says a lot... however some of his takes are pretty valid, there are way too many noseslide variations in that edit, it's about 2 mins too long, and the filming/editing really isn't helping show JG in as positive light as it could.
It's just an opinion piece at the end of the day, albeit a slightly snarkier one than usual at someone who is a bit of an easy target.

GH is basically someone who likely got made fun of or bullied and now that he has "power" or just an audience he's turning into a version of his tormentor.
I like Jerry and his company, but it's sorta embarrassing to think that means also supporting this dude since he's one of their team riders. Just furthers his ego and the lie that he's actually saying anything that people aren't already saying off of YouTube.
It reminds me of The Big Lebowski and the "Am I right" scene. You're still an asshole.
I just let it be when it comes to skaters like Jamie Griffin or Jeffwon Song. Let the weirdos have their slice of the pie. I think there’s a skate genre for everyone at this point and I’m at peace wid it.

Feels like he's Flanderising himself a bit with this video. Pushing his opinions more to the extreme. Seems to be the inevitable outcome of streamers. As they get more popular they get more sure of themselves and lose that air of "in my opinion", the vibe just becomes "what I'm saying is correct"
Also while I do agree with the overall sentiment of JG having a seemingly low skate IQ when it comes to street, I think a lot of the blame for it coming across like that could be put on the editor. It came across like it was put together by someone who doesn't know much about skating. Weird trick order in places, some of it didn't need to be in there. And what was with the mega double slomo switch hard down like a 6 stair? Someone more clued in could've presented him as a much more legit street skater. But what can you expect from the people involved with Hop King

This was more my qualm with the part overall, than the skating its self (we all know by now who Jamie is and what his skating is like). If someone decent edited this down and used the best clips, you'd have some what a concise part. His skating is not really my cuppa, but at least it'd be an easier viewing if it was condensed down.

The quality of his skating overshadows his obvious indifference for the legendary shit that’s been filmed in old guy times imo. Dude is fucking good and has tasteful trick selection. Wish he would make a video of himself watching Mouse/Goldfish/Yeah Right/Sorry/The Storm preferably without using the term “wet” but you can’t control anyone. I fuck with the guy.

I don’t buy the Patreon but if I’m not mistaken it’s a bunch of extra videos, uncut twitch vods, that kind of thing it’s like any other content creator patreon pay more for more content
It is pretty odd that a person talking about skateboarding can make a lot more than the majority of the pros he’s talking about.He prolly feels guilty about it so doesn’t post on YT anymore
Maybe this has already happened in other industries but is this the first time in skateboarding for this to happen?

Yeah no, Hassan Piker is a political commentator and a far left socialist. Nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that he seems to only do commentary and debates with people that bring him views and money, and bases a lot of his political thoughts on what can gain him a following. The pants observation by Joa is very accurate in characterizing Hassan, he claims anti-establishment and anti-capitalism but ONLY does shit that benefits him in views and money, him wearing 1000$ pants that look like a working man’s trousers is no surprise.

i dont know if I understand you guys correctly but the crowdfunding is still controlled and directed by Hasan. if it wasn't for him they wouldn't crowdfund. its not that he just does crowdfunds and becomes rich from it.
collecting money from people that can spear a few dollars to make people that dont have enough get something is socialism. in our times and particularly america where the cliff between poor and rich is big its a good way to give the working class something back.
he also makes content that in my opinion is good for people and teaches them the values of left wing socialism. wether or not he owns a house and 1000 dollar pants is irrelevant if you're giving hundreds of thousands out to the right cause.
a piece of shit like sam hyde think its better to be openly racist and a misogynist than being a hypocrite.

I love it when these random skate YouTubers (the more fried, the better) try to go after Gifted Hater by analyzing his success in the most passive aggressive way possible. This dude's really pondering why skaters like to watch GH? It helps to not be a bearded thumb/potato-looking, self-owning, alt-right kook in a Hurley t-shirt.

crowdfunding in that sense isnt e-begging and anything like patreon or only fans. in a socialistic state money gets distributed by the government and everyone is working for the wealth. since we dont have a socialist system the crowdfunder takes that part to distribute the money where it belongs like people in need. the money he gets is from views and subscribers just like Spotify listens or YouTube clicks. and parts of that money he gives also away.
its scary and completely stupid to think how much money these streamers make and it really shows capitalisms flaws.
but how else can you even out things?
gifted hater makes 10k just from his fundings and doesnt give back anything in donations.
if you're paying a twitch streamer your dumb but id rather see people watch Hasan videos than making NINJA a multimillionaire by playing Fortnite. it makes me believe people still care about stuff even though hes corny at times.
it really is funny. pull the tissues out of you're polar pants dry your tears and try to laugh about yourself sometimes.Some of y'all are really dickriding this guy if you think the only way someone could not enjoy the video or make a joke about Joa is if they are triggered big boy wearers.

Shameless plug but I put the beef into an easily consumable video if anyone wants to see coverage and more deleted comments. Goes public at 4pm
This was gonna happen eventually, and it'll probably happen again.
Neal is handling this very fucking poorly, but the reality is, nothing about the way GH talks shit comes across as light-hearted ribbing, and he does (somehow) have the influence to fuck with people's paychecks now. When he talks shit on a skater, there's a legion of 14 year olds who will never again use the money from their paper route to buy that person's board. (do kids still have paper routes? do newspapers still exist?)
I mean, GH has talked about it himself that he probably shouldn't go to certain parks or spots because he might run into people he's dragged through the mud. I'm not sure when or why skaters beefing became so celebrated but the whole thing is so stupid and pathetic to me. Like the kids in school who would try to instigate fights between people for their own entertainment, I guess skaters love that shit now. Maybe they always did?
I'm trying to work out how many followers I could get on Threads if I poked some fun at this dangerous Robert person on Insta via linked shade on GH's Patreon...feels like this could finally be my "make it" moment if I time everything right.
Robert Neal been wack
Expand QuoteThis was gonna happen eventually, and it'll probably happen again.
Neal is handling this very fucking poorly, but the reality is, nothing about the way GH talks shit comes across as light-hearted ribbing, and he does (somehow) have the influence to fuck with people's paychecks now. When he talks shit on a skater, there's a legion of 14 year olds who will never again use the money from their paper route to buy that person's board. (do kids still have paper routes? do newspapers still exist?)
I mean, GH has talked about it himself that he probably shouldn't go to certain parks or spots because he might run into people he's dragged through the mud.

I can't speak for everyone (nor would I), but I love skate drama/beef. It's super entertaining and funny. It's just criticism and shit talking... it's just not that serious and not something that really fucks with skater's paychecks. Do you think Ville Wester is losing sleep and/or income because GH made fun of his "Hot Topic" look?
If this ends up affecting Robert Neal's income, then he deserved it by reacting on Instagram with threats and making it a bigger deal than it would've been.

Meh. Right, wrong, or something in between, I'm not even condoning it but this kid is right to be concerned about catching hands. "Talk shit, get hit" is a real thing whether you, me, the pope or the uber driver agrees.
If you're gonna base your whole career around talking shit on people you've never even met by name you're gonna catch some backlash eventually. It's kinda like, you can call your friend a dumbass, but if some rando you've never met calls your friend a dumbass it's not funny, and dude better check himself.
GH ain't friends with 90% of the people he's talking mad shit on.
Y'all got some weird reverse parasocial relationship with skaters where you think that since you kinda feel like you know them you should be able to talk endless torrents of shit on them and they need to laugh and take it in stride.
Also, him going out of his way to defending Sam Hyde but then specifically taking a decent chunk out of his video for no real relevant reason to talk shit on Hasan Piker and in no uncertain terms say people shouldn't listen to him is sussy as fuck.
Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteWhen ripping the model’s fashion “left-wing socialist” was tossed into the verbal equation. Pretty much says everything you need to know about this dude. Kind of funny considering his whole platform exists off of crowdfunding, but I wouldn’t expect self awareness from someone critiquing fashion while they themself dress like a gamer nerd.[close]
Yeah no, Hassan Piker is a political commentator and a far left socialist. Nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that he seems to only do commentary and debates with people that bring him views and money, and bases a lot of his political thoughts on what can gain him a following. The pants observation by Joa is very accurate in characterizing Hassan, he claims anti-establishment and anti-capitalism but ONLY does shit that benefits him in views and money, him wearing 1000$ pants that look like a working man’s trousers is no surprise.[close]
i like hasan but laughed about it. the things that bring him the most views are mostly the biggest topics. its pretty simple.
he gives back a lot to all kinds of people in need and I dont expect him to live in a card box just to represent and support the left.
he might not be a true socialist or corny but that doesnt mean we should not support the left and sympathize with the right.
he explains politics to young people and adults and does an okay job.
it feels petty to pocket watch him but its still funny. id rather criticize the right but he might not even have them on his radar.[close]
Oh Joa has the right on his radar. He even defends them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88QU2b62b80
Glossing over an alt-right kook like Sam Hyde while telling someone like Hasan Piker to kill himself is kinda sus.
$1000 pants is a drop in the bucket compared to the money he donates to actually supporting working class people.

And I'm not defending street justice, but if you make a career of talking shit on people, then catching hands (or bullets I guess) can happen whether it's right or wrong. I don't understand why so many have this idea that he should have impunity to talk mad shit on people by name and suffer zero consequences ever.
The shit GH says aren't "jokes". He doesn't qualify anything he says with any goodhearted or well meaning clarification.
It's just "this guy's clothes suck and so do his sponsors and trick selection". Full stop. That's not a "joke", that's just trash talk.
I don't think he deserves to be assaulted or killed, but that doesn't mean I think he's cool in any way, shape or form, and if he catches an ass whooping someday I won't be at all surprised.

I find it hilarious that someone would present themselves to the world like Mr. Neal has here and then act surprised that nearly everyone would mock the way they present themselves to the world.

Big GH fan
Why is it always some milktoast white dude making these videos? This is the worst genre of human that walks the earth.
Even my mom knows who David Gravette is
... Wait a sec
Im sure by now he hates the persona he created.
gifted hater is exactly what his name suggests, a gifted hater.(https://media.tenor.com/sO3crnViM24AAAAd/zyzz-aesthetic.gif)
like you said, he can tap into what's dormant in the minds of those who are quite core, learned, nuanced, obsessed, whatever. lurking through obscure blogs, cultivating good taste, articulating what is antithetical to the true spirit of skateboarding, he serves a purpose as the outward manifestation of slap's/core skateboarding's shadow, for slap represents the dude who knows what's up, has a reserve of knowledge and reverence for it, but (for the most part) doesn't have the talent to translate it through their own skating for whatever reason (old, out of shape, has kids and a job, doesn't skate as much as they indulge in skate media, etc.).
so yeah, his takes are pretty on point, but much like this place, it's really quite negative (hating), although there is a lot of truth and humor in it. it's a shit ton of projection, and if that was acknowledged in the moment along with a live and let live attitude, maybe a lot of the content wouldn't even be put out. but regardless, he's a symbol, he serves his purpose as the skate nerd champion. the necessary evil, the balancing force of bullshit.
but through his takes and actual skateboard ability, he's also able to live out the dream most who share his perspective are not, a sponsored skateboarder on a core team with some of slap's favorites.
I've had the same feeling when skateboard dad popped up, and I believe it's because, as evidenced by his name, he is just the average vocal slap participant, a skate dad.
so on one hand, it's cool that he inspires people who feel him to do it their own way too, he's successful because he's not alone after all, but on the other, what comes from that may be kind of whack, but also maybe it won't. it is what it is, that's the nature of things.
anyway, I mostly like watching the videos where gifted hater just has no choice but to set aside the critiques and to marvel at true skateboarding ability, a la nigel. that's skateboarding at the end of the day, the skateboarding, regardless of whether or not I agree with the subjective takes
Gifted Hater is insufferable

Michael, you quote me in you’re video so I’ll respond.
I don’t think listening to Alex Jones automatically makes him alt right, but it is a gateway to that misinformation for sure.
For example you state that Alex was talking about Epstein in the early 90s. He first mentioned Epstein in 2015, roughly 10 years after Epstein was first tried for prostitution involving minors.
You’ve chosen to believe revisionist timelines from Alex and his friends (Rogan for example) about this subject I guess in your effort to hear “both sides”.Expand QuoteI wanna see the cariuma logo that and to be removed lmao[close]

Can someone summarise because I watched 5 minutes of it and it sounded like Theorist man was being pranked by some random but the title suggests otherwise, is there some sort of Planet of the Apes type plot twist at some pointJanecummag and skate theorist (not me btw) faked an internet beef to bait GH into responding. The video is of GH basically calling them both idiots and saying how they could never pull off a prank like this because they are both "the type of people that sort jolly ranchers at Walmart.

No it's his, it's a channel for posting some of his twitch streams edited by a guy he hired to do that for him. He made it in response to the various channels unassociated with him that were posting his streams without his permission, and he picked the guy to officially edit his streams out of the bunch of 3rd party ones because he liked his editing style and sense of humor the most. I'm not sure if that guy is still doing it though because GH has said that that guy is hard to contact and generally incommunicative.

I copped a sci-fi board on the weekend. Joker looking Halloweenesque graphic. 8.38 with a green top.
Pretty sure it's a BBS. I hope so cause I looked it up on the shoes and gear woodshop directory thread while my friend was chatting up the skate shop worker.
Hard to say though. Some of my other choices were more clearly marked as BBS but the top veneer ply wasn't speaking to me. I'm a stupid picky cunt though.
I said the exact same thing recently and someone corrected me….so it’s possible there are some nuanced differences…. Seems pretty standard to me though….
I almost copped one today. I'm gonna have to wait. Ride what I got for a bit.yeah if that Lay graphic was in 8.25 or 8.38 i would've gotten it. ended up going with that orange bottom one u were talking about. im actually a fan of orange and i think the graphic is sick. excited to try it out once my 8.6 gx has run its course.
I liked the Ryan truck beam board but 8.5 was the biggest in that graphic.
They had an 8.75 and I would have gotten 6.1s too but I don't want an orange bottom. Graphic was good tho. Just can't be having that color.
Truck beam is cooler. I bet it's going to look nice on camera when it flips.
Oh well
I copped a second pair of 808s. Same color. My feet are basically healed. Going into winter I've almost never not had at least a roll.
I got a Couple more sheets of pepper Galaxy. This my new shit for sure. It looks cool when it's dirty too in my opinion.
I still prefer jessup because it gets better as it gets slicker. This looks way way cooler.
Very sticky grip in conjunction with the strong ass shoe. I gotta continue it.

that was some of the best, and most well-thought-out criticism of the flaws in SLS. Like maybe it wasn't mean-spirited but still accurate.
Also, he himself, early on admitted that there was only going to be so much shelf life, in the "hater" schtick in his online personality and how he didn't want to become a lightning rod for all hate & negativity.

More so I mean how he has a very strong view of skating and is very critical of "core" skating, which is good and I appreciate even if I don't agree with his point, but then has talked about watching street league since its inception and clearly knows the ins and outs. Probably a bad comparison but its like Bill Callahan talking about Taylor Swift and knowing way too much. Maybe Im the only one not watching street league.

I knew what you meant. I have not watched gifted hater but only because I don’t care about skateboard critique. He’s making really good money so he is probably scrambling to find things to have a hot take on.
To me SLS, Dew Tour, X Games, Olympics is a traveling circus. The only interesting part about contests is watching a skater adapt to the obstacles that they have never skated before. That can be considered street skating. The courses look horrible. I’d rather watch Tampa or Lower Bobs events.

Yeah I post on this thread regularly, and you don’t?
Tbh I’m fascinated by the chain reaction of criticism towards critics of the critic.
Still trying to understand why the slap material farmer who is probably making more money than 99% of this forum can’t be talked about negatively.

Honestly don't give two shits about street league but it is an interesting point that there is no rhyme or reason to the judges score. Would be more effective if they provided a template on scoring or the reasoning behind it at least

The problem with this take is that if the judges gave a scoring sheet for tricks the competition would become boring because skaters will just pick the tricks that give maxinium score. The last bit of creativity and trick selection would go extinct.

You mean like give your board a lil push with your foot then jump on? Sure that’s fun too. The point is, going the the speed you actually want to be going.
Hard disagree on the roll-in. It’s really hard to get the right speed when you’re rolling down a bank or dropping in on a QP. You often are too fast for what you want to hit. Throw down and push is always the best IMO and Ryan agrees, I feel seen. Their ain’t QPs to drop into in the streets.

He feels great on Friday (after work). Because you can be yourself and life's possibilities open up. He wants everyday to feel like that. Now you can buy a plain shirt with the word "Friday" on it, and help him achieve his goal.

For what it’s worth Joa admitted guilt and claims he feels bad. Even offered to supplement Ryan’s income. Until he gets him a wheel sponsor. How much of that was for the camera, who’s to say.
It’s pretty weak for orbs to drop you because your homie was clowning your brand. Also it’s not like orbs was just in lab working on a dragon alternative. He should be able to tryout the hot new wheel.
I feel live if they wanted a peaceful resolution they could have asked Joa to remove the 5ish seconds he clowns orbs and/or have Ryan post about how he still prefers orbs better yet they could have done nothing then we can go back to not knowing Ryan was on orbs in the first place.

Posting something that's behind a paywall is pretty fucked dude. Subscribe to his Patreon if you want the content.
Slagging Tom Knox off so much was wack. GH used to love Tom, appreciated the unconventional, 'creative' skating at mad spots. Now that half of Slap has thrown Tom under the bus, because SOTY season has fried their brains, he's changed his tune. I know it's an ongoing joke that he molds his opinion from nonsense farmed from this forum, but come on.
I like GH, for the most part, but he chats some shite sometimes. I love his trick battle videos where he's mic'd up, they're fun.

Expand Quotehis whole critique of Tom was blasphemy. tom has been putting out the most consistent, inspiring street skating this year and deserves the SOTY.[close]
Nothing about Toms parts this year are inspiring. He is putting out consistent footage because he isn't actually doing anything in the clips. Based on the bag of tricks we have seen from him in the past he is capable of much more. Which is what GH is saying and I agree. If you look at 99% of the clips he hasn't broken a sweat or looked like he has fallen even once. But I would look the same if I did drop down a 4, drop down a 5, single push backside flip a 4 flat.
There is relatable skating and then there is what Tom has done this year, I'm fairly confident I could recreate all of his footage this year and one up a few tricks in a month in England.
GH was harsh in his critique, "this is putrid" is a little much, but I mostly agree with him. Go back and rewatch Tom's other two Atlantic Drift parts "Episode 11" and "Saint Tom Knox". Those are way better than his most recent parts. Better variety of tricks and spots that better suit his quick-footed style. His first AD still really holds up and has lots of great clips. His Vase part is also good, but it suffers from being filmed during the mid 2010's (very bad time for pants lol).
He could throw in a handful of harder tricks and it would make his skating so much better. Like just do a back noseblunt, a switch flip back tail, a nollie frontside heelflip, or a fakie 5-0 fakie flip, skate a bump to bar or a handrail, just anything different. This could be said for a lot of pros.

Mark Suciu on his own video part:
"To theorize a creative production that is not completely objective, including taking account you as a person and your body as an object, it’s a complex thing. Your body moving in space while carrying out the things your mind tells it to do is much more difficult to understand than writing your idea of art into a long tapestry, however that may be."
He’s annoying as all get out. I have no idea why he’s on my algorithm when I’ve blocked his channel multiple times. Actually, now that I think about it I just answered my own question.guessing you aren't necessarily GH's target demographic if you're saying things like "he's annoying as all get out"

That picture of tom on the front page is unnecessary and mean. If he doesn’t fw tom that’s fine, he made some valid critiques. But this kinda shit just to be edgy and elicit a reaction from people is fuckin wack imo.
Joa canceled my Patreon subscription because I was voicing my opinion about how whack it is to charge people while not putting out any content for a month or something that's very half-assed. Dude loves to dish it but can't take it at all. I never used any insulting words and he still said I was bullying. Later on he somehow found my comment on insta and replied only to then delete all off his comments.

I love that he has to go at international skaters as he's too scared to upset someone he might run into, or mess up his little industry hook ups. Dont get me wrong, I kinda enjoy this Tom ranting but it's kinda obvious its a soft target and just him being contrarianSuciu, Tyshawn, Robert Neal, Elijah Berle...all his targets have been American skaters majority in LA. I think he just genuinely dislike's Tom Knox's skating this year.

For me it’s not so much his targets, it’s just that the world is full of so much pointless negative influence, that someone building an entire platform around that feels regressive and stagnant.
It’s akin to someone who peaked in highschool, and has not the self awareness to evolve or grow as a human being.
In regards to coming after Tom though, it does feel like GH is punching down a bit. Or that it’s a soft undeserving target.[close]
oh come on. I like Tom Knox a lot but that is absolutely ridiculous.[close]
I guess I just feel like Tom Knox seems like a decent dude who’s not really out there doing anything kooky.
It’s soft prey.[close]
Micky Papa seems like a nice guy who had an extremely troubled upbringing, and nobody bats an eye when he gets endlessly shit on. Tom has his name on New Balance and Dickies products. I think he'll be okay.[close]
It sounds like you’re trying to use Micky as an example of why it’s ok to shit on people, but it’s kinda lame in either case.
We’re talking about a grown man who has an entire platform based on tearing people down. I’m not entirely sure how particular sponsor’s are relevant in the matter.[close]
Those particular sponsors are relevant because you think a YouTuber making fun of a guy with multiple corporate sponsors is “punching down”. I don’t know what you think punching down means, but it is not that.

You make it seem as if Tom Knox has those sponsors not by the merit of his own work or accumulated skills. He earned those sponsorships, they weren’t gifted to him.
My feelings on the matter aren’t economic based, nor referring to sponsorships, but more to the character of the individual himself. I didn’t watch, nor do I care to consume GH’s content, so I can’t speak to the severity of anything he said. I just simply think it’s kind of dumb when people build a temple around negative energies. It’s exactly what the world needs less of.
I think it’s punching down because his target is unassuming and inoffensive.

You appear to be equating lucrative sponsorship to some sort of elevated status of being.
That it can’t possibly be punching down as Tom’s sponsors seem to afford him some sort of standing above GH?
It just seems like a strange argument to make, especially given GH is just as much part of the industry as Tom is.

I think people should genuinely care more, and try hating less. It’s a strange world when embracing difference, avoiding judgement of others, and kindness is more difficult than the alternative. I feel this way regardless of whom is being targeted.
Anyways, I’ve made my position clear and enjoy the discourse. Even if it is a little off topic.

That it can’t possibly be punching down as Tom’s sponsors seem to afford him some sort of standing above GH?
It just seems like a strange argument to make, especially given GH is just as much part of the industry as Tom is.[close]

I’m not the one that implied there was any sort of hierarchy. That was the argument you made by mentioning Dickies and NB.

Skill wise they are not even close to equals, but GH has a rather large draw that comes with its own brand of influence.

I don’t believe in perceived hierarchies in this instance. That’s why I think it’s silly that you think it can’t possibly be “punching down”.
My usage of “punching down” was in reference to the character of the individuals, absolutely nothing to do with sponsorship or your ideas of standing.
It sounds like “punching down” in your mind must only strictly apply in reference to status. Which I can understand, but we’re getting way off topic if your argument is centered around my usage of a phrase.[close]

My point is that people here are coming off as disingenuous because the guy they like finally got made fun of.[close]
I think people should genuinely care more, and try hating less. It’s a strange world when embracing difference, avoiding judgement of others, and kindness is more difficult than the alternative. I feel this way regardless of whom is being targeted.

i appreciate some of the points you're trying to make, but the phrase 'punching down' specifically refers to picking on someone of lower status, or with less power (whatever that might mean in context). gh is targeting tom in the context of his standing in the industry - which is very high. so it might be whack as fuck, but it isn't 'punching down'.
also, as much as i disagree with his criticisms of tom, none of it's been particularly hateful. for the most part, he tried to give a detailed, dispassionate critique of why he found his recent stuff underwhelming. personally, i don't think he succeeded - a lot of his arguments were contradictory or half-baked. but they were made in good faith i think.
the meaner stuff like calling him a plonker just scans as silly/playful to me (as a massive tom knox fan). 'plonker' is more or less the mildest insult in all of english, and as far as connotative meaning goes, it has an affectionate undertone.
i think the 'hater' part of his moniker is supposed to be self-depreciating. he doesn't really strike me as waving a flag for negativity. he just prefers chatting shit about skating and making loads of money to getting a real job, which i can understand to be fair.

I found a post of you among others dogpiling on Andy Schrock, so my point stands.
"If I can get better, anybody can." And the first guy who needs to be preached on how to change off of my shining new high horse is Joa... the only dude with the guts to call a widely exploitative and nepotistic industry out on its bullshit with the occasional lapse in tone. Breh you sound like some born again Christian kinda Taylor Silvermann ass shit. If you only recently converted to a positive worldview, ponder the entire past life you lived in ignorance and do that pondering in humility and silence. If you were wrong for so very long, that should give you greater cause to shut that trap than the short time you've apparently spent "on the right side".

Asta is kinda like Mark Suciu a little. The style is way different but they both think about like mirroring tricks and lines and shit.
Personally I prefer Asta. A little more. Not by much. Im honestly not sure why.

I think what drew a lot of people to GH in the first place, was that he wasn't just 'hating' for the sake of it, he was going after kooks and genuinely shitty people, like that Skate Mama and Scientologists. He critiqued shitty things in skating, it feels like going hard on Tom Knox's character is low hanging fruit. Edgelord behavior.

What I was alluding to was that going after a sound, inoffensive guy like Tom Knox, because he doesn't like his fits or whatever, instead of doing a bit of digging to find out who's doing shitty and/or kooky stuff in the industry, is lazy. The 'hater' aspect of his shtick was always about exposing dickheads.
Reading it back, I understand how it could have been taken out of context.

To me, that kind of reinforced the feeling that his fans mostly come for the "hate" part of Gifted Hater: the super opinionated and deeply analyzed banter. It's the polar opposite of Nine Club/Andrew Cannon, which is just "that was so sick" without going any further. For instance, Hater made an excellent point about the long lens HD of Knox's part vs. VX quality of the Drift videos which I had never considered—that is some valuable constructive criticism. Of course, Knox's diehard fans have to choke down the bitter pills of Hater's trolling one-liners about his Dickies fit with that helpful medicine but I'm here for it.

But he went a little hard with the hyperbole (He sucks wanker plonker) and I thought this hyperbolic tantrum shit is funnier when it doesn't go against harmless good guys who have a family to feed. I think GH really coming after Yuto would be hilarious in all its sacrilege.
oh no he talked shit about the harmless good guy with a family to feed :(Expand QuoteExpand QuoteFans in the chat were frothing at the mouth during his SLS stream when he briefly mentioned how Tom Knox fell off this year. He didn't clarify his feelings or speak any more about it, but every other comment was "explain the Tom KNox hate" which went on long after he made the throwaway remark. (He probably was just saving his jabs for the SOTY video.)Expand QuoteReleasing soty predictions after the announcement and they still get 150K in 4 days... Becoming a pretty complicated argument that his career is only piggybacking off others' efforts. Seems like people genuinely want to hear the guy speak. Still think he shouldve chilled on the Tom Knox banter and gone harder after a few other incursions (yutos layz af second part for example)[close]
To me, that kind of reinforced the feeling that his fans mostly come for the "hate" part of Gifted Hater: the super opinionated and deeply analyzed banter. It's the polar opposite of Nine Club/Andrew Cannon, which is just "that was so sick" without going any further. For instance, Hater made an excellent point about the long lens HD of Knox's part vs. VX quality of the Drift videos which I had never considered—that is some valuable constructive criticism. Of course, Knox's diehard fans have to choke down the bitter pills of Hater's trolling one-liners about his Dickies fit with that helpful medicine but I'm here for it.[close]

Crazy in the first one he’s so clear that no one should go pro without a part, like really hangs his hat on that. Then crickets when he’s part of a pro suprise thing for sci-fi, what a weird position to be in and not even joke about.
Not some huge deal or anything, just kind of shows his significant biases, like everyone. Hard to criticize the company you are friends with quite as hard I’d imagine.

That’s some mental gymnastics to keep a double standard. So in this case, with your friends, it’s actually ok? Cool.
I think he should just recuse himself when it comes to weighing in on things to do with SciFi. I guess he did with Arin in regards to SOTY.
Again, not a big deal, just some dumb nitpicking by me I’m sure and not saying arin shouldn’t be pro, either, sure she moves a ton of boards.

So far team doesn't exactly look stoked on Tucson. I was surprised Glick didn't go for that rail to steeped Bank, kind of looked right up his alley, sick but surely challenging spoti bet they clipped up on most of the spots, just don't wanna show the footage or anything to keep it interesting for when the video drops

How do brands making a video actually calculate the return on investment of all the money they put into trips and whatever else over that time period? Does a video finally drop after a year of filming and immediately their sales rise high enough to cover a year's worth of investment and they can say hey that was all worth it? It all just seems like it would be so difficult to walk away after spending all that money with cold hard numbers as you can't put half of skateboarding 'metrics' like cool factor into your spreadsheet.

I know some videos/companies have been shit on for trying too hard for it to seem like they're having a lot of fun together, but these recent videos are giving me the opposite vibe.i disagree. i think they're all just enjoying what seems like a chill and relaxed skate trip. all of them seem to get along and I bet it's a little awkward to have a camera pointed at u during regular life shit. off camera i'm sure the vibes are better.

These videos might generate just as many views as a full length too. Doesn't have the same weight, but you could say does way more for brand connection for fans.Expand QuoteHow do brands making a video actually calculate the return on investment of all the money they put into trips and whatever else over that time period?

I doubt video releases correlate directly to board sales, unless of course you have something like a Limosine model where you drop product and videos simultaneously. Moreso video releases play a major part of the marketing of a brand, making sure its reputation, image, and relevancy is ensured so that income consistently comes in at a sufficient level. For example, brands like Toy machine, Zero, and Alien wouldn't do the numbers they do today without having released their seminal full-lengths. It's kind of a necessary investment for any company in skateboarding; and I bet it's less about how much you spend for a trip than how your spending results in the 'best' video (one that has impact in terms of views and/or legacy).
The issue you bring up is one of running a skate company solely on "cold hard metrics". It's why venture capitalist involvement in skate companies often results in failure. Skateboarding is difficult in this way, as you rightly assume; no MBA can prepare someone adequately for running a skate company.
I think Sci-Fi putting Joa on generates, among other things, a relatively cheap way of marketing the brand. Joa will put out ten videos advertising the brand and its riders inadvertently in the time and resources it takes Jerry to put together one full-length.

Also - a company doesn’t need to be run running like a private household, where you want to avoid debt. Sometimes investing and going into red numbers may be a risk you need to take. Though I’m sure, that a skatetrip to Tucson will not kill Sci-fi‘s entire budget.

Don't think i've ever really thought about the fruitless pursuit of spots and how expensive it'd be until just watching it unfold. Jerry must be some kinda fuckin' Ramdas cunt to just be hanging, skating the spots while being cool about not getting anything, but he knows the deal I guess.

Yep. I'd say that could very well be the first. Although, it seemed to be more focused on the half-baked Easy Rider fantasy than the skating.
RE: Sci-Fi's "fruitless pursuit of spots" and Jerry Hsu "being cool about not getting anything," I'm absolutely positive that they managed to get clips because they definitely aren't going to include the footage in the vlogs. But yeah, I'm sure every trip has those days where everyone comes up empty.

Have you watched his part (last) in Chase Walker's "◯" yet? His ender is pretty bonkers.
I also like his fits, which range from "School Shooter" and "Trench Coat Mafia" to "Motocross Reject" and "Vietnam Vet."
It's also been sampled by Oli Xl and Burial. Probably a lot of other people too. It's a great sample, the first time I heard it I searched the entire thing instead of key phrases.

I think if youre worried about if his take on covid is serious or not, then you are not his intended audience. His entire bit is satire and exaggeration idk how you missed that.I'm probably not his intended audience and that's OK. It just sounded weird when I heard it. I don't know how it is in the US but in France there is a lot of revisionism going on right now questioning the reality of covid/vaccines from all kind of people, not only the usual conspiracionists.

friend of mine just got it again in the classic 'all sense of taste gone' version - which sucks.
i never had it like that, but when my wife got it the first time she lost smell completely and had weirdly altered/paired down taste* for a year before it came back.

I got it for the first time this year and i got really bad headaches and body aches...the fucked up cough came later when I started getting better and I still have it, i also still have the brain fog and fatigue 3 weeks later

People don't realise that mushrooms, if you boil them first, they release all their water and the cells stay open. Then you soak them in a fat and they soak it all into their cells. Then you cook them in your dish and it maxes out the flavour. You can't over cook them either, so just boil them up. It doesn't matter.

I'm not sure on timings at all. I stick them on to boil right at the start of my cook, and then after about 10 minutes drain them. It also works super well for dried mushrooms - especially shitake which sometimes don't soak up all the water if you don't boil them.
Here's the basis for my method:
https://www.broadsheet.com.au/national/food-and-drink/article/according-chef-turned-mushroom-scientist-weve-been-cooking-mushrooms-wrong-all-time
In Australia we got baby king oyster mushrooms, that I'd boil, drain, then drop into a curry in place of meat. They'd soak it up so good. It made the best curries.
Any of yall ever tried that goat beard mushroom or whatever the name is that you can fry whole as a big lump as a meat replacemt and apparently it comes eerily close to steak, especially when marinated before.
Any tips on how to upgrade my pasta game? I've tried pre-prepared sauces from the packet or bottle and aside from a few (with roasted artichokes or pesto) they leave me disappointed. I usually do a Thai (Tom Yum) or Japanese (Miso) cream pasta but I find the flavors 1 note and lack depth. I've tried mushroom, a bit of MSG powder, using actual herbs / spices but nothing elevates the flavor like I'd get in a restaurant.
Should I be using more flavored stock?
Back on track baby. Thanks for bringing the pasta talk back y’all. As far as ways to upgrade your pasta game, definitely try making your own sauce at home if ya can - not only does it taste better but you get the validation of making it yourself. Also, if you have a free afternoon, give making pasta from scratch a shot. Might not turn out the way you want but it’s good to experiment and try.Expand QuoteAny tips on how to upgrade my pasta game?

Damn, we eat pasta very differently. I fw with the tom yum and miso ideas. When i do a mushroom sauce i just sauté them with oil, fresh herbs and s&p then blend up with coconut milk and a little veg both and parm if i have it.
I would really recommend learning how to make good red sauce. It’s easy and cheap af. Use any canned tomatoes if you can’t afford san marzanos, although those are so good. I put onions, shit load of garlic, fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage, etc., a bay leaf if I have it. Don’t skimp on the salt, and try to find another source of salt if you can. Anchovies (trust me), green olives, or even just a bit of pickle juice.

Thanks for the pasta sauce recommendations, I'll give the made from scratch red sauce a shot. Fresh produce, especially good tomatoes, are expensive here in Asia and the ones from the region are watery with zero taste. Same with onions, the yellow ones we get locally add nothing flavor wise.
With fresh basil I'm always worried about the leaves going bad if I can't finish cooking them in time, I suppose I can do 1 pasta dish and maybe 1 Thai dish (Basil Pork) to finish the packet.
I think the alternative salt source like anchovies, bacon and olives are what's been missing. Same with a seafood pasta, don't have access to fresh prawns to boil the heads and shells to make a good stock so I'm stuck with frozen.
re Miso or Tom Yum pasta - some restaurants do a good one so it's definitely possible here, especially with miso paste for the umami.

My buddy taught me my favourite pasta recipe but it's only simple at first glance and more for advanced cooks I'd say. Needs a lot of good timing. It's Pasta al Limoni which he calls Pasta Alimony because it got him laid so much - yeah I take my recipes from him, not the jokes...
Basically cook Pasta and meanwhile slooowly heat a bunch of chopped garlic in oil in a pan, once the garlic aromas are releasing, chuck in chilis as per your degree of masochism, and shortly after add at least one entire lemon's grated zest, better make it 1.5 and just a squeeze of lemon juice. Only let that warm up shortly then ladle in a couple swigs of the Pasta water and take off the heat. Strain the pasta just before al dente and chuck it into the sauce in the pan and stir it, really folding the pasta over on itself. After a minute or two when it's not steaming anymore and the pasta has taken in some of the liquid, put in a solid (half a standard wedge) amount of grated Parmiggiano and keep stirring to mix it all together until the sauce and cheese have mixed and soaked into the pasta so its creamy covered. Serve immediately with some fresh pepper, salt and a touch more parmigiano on top. There are loads of more complicated varieties of this dish but nothing hits the spot quite like this one when all the ingredients are just the right quality and made just right. Heaven

proper emulsification is easier said than done.it takes lots of practice to master such "simple" recipes. that's where some japanese culinary philosophy and italian cooking have some overlap.
Your friend's pasta recipe sounds great, something similar would be cacio e pepe or alio e oglio. at first glance super simple, but so much potential for perfection and depth. love those recipes. A proper carbonara would also fall in such category.

I thought this part was cringe as hell and just patently false, those kids are just following trend cycles and mixing the style of current day rappers with the y2k/indie sleaze aesthetic that has had a revival. Other than that it's ironic dejection at best, the hopelesness of capital/present day america doesnt rly explain the scores of rich kids that dress like this too. He's hanging around Ryan Lay too much and wants to act like he can have takes that are in any way bigger than putting on an english accent to make fun of tom knox.

If that dude manualled between the ledge and the stairs at Southbank instead of doing dumb little flips it would have been sick.

He does exactly that several times in his all Southbank part, including the ender which is pretty fucking sick imo (@2:15) and another one @ 0:47
He also does a bunch of the same style of quickfoot lines in there too (ledge, flatground trick, stairs) that are cooler than the ones he does in the BHADW2 part. noseslide pretzel, sw fs shuv, switch tre @ 0:19 and back tail fakie, half cab flip, big flip @ 1:49 are both better sequences using the same format imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O851jR0lh5c
basically i think it didnt really make much sense for him to include those two Southbank clips in his new part when he's already had a whole part at that spot and specifically doing both that exact format of line with better tricks and better format (ledge, manual, stairs). i like the Southbank part and i don't really care that much about the whole "it's a skatepark" thing but including those clips in the new part was a miss imo if only because he's already done essentially the same thing but better in the past.
still really liked the part tho, Casper is fucking sick

He does exactly that several times in his all Southbank part, including the ender which is pretty fucking sick imo (@2:15) and another one @ 0:47
He also does a bunch of the same style of quickfoot lines in there too (ledge, flatground trick, stairs) that are cooler than the ones he does in the BHADW2 part. noseslide pretzel, sw fs shuv, switch tre @ 0:19 and back tail fakie, half cab flip, big flip @ 1:49 are both better sequences using the same format imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O851jR0lh5c
basically i think it didnt really make much sense for him to include those two Southbank clips in his new part when he's already had a whole part at that spot and specifically doing both that exact format of line with better tricks and better format (ledge, manual, stairs). i like the Southbank part and i don't really care that much about the whole "it's a skatepark" thing but including those clips in the new part was a miss imo if only because he's already done essentially the same thing but better in the past.
still really liked the part tho, Casper is fucking sick
This
The southbank clip is an intro without putting his name on the screen. The way it transitions to southbank, you immediately know it’s Casper. That’s the point of it.

I heard that one. It was really good. He needs to put that on YouTube.
My bad the name of the video is just Fishbowl. I watched an earlier edit so I watched the reup to see if there was anything different and jotted down the high points on notepad. I added some light editorial afterwards so that it would be easier to follow. No major differences in the edits but some of the points have been moved around, mostly in the beginning.
Some black skaters hate him
Skate Twitter sez "Looks like there's a pattern emerging"
Gary on the 9 Club
Gary Rodgers has been reduced to a shill. He blew up from his hot takes but now he's neutered and can't really say anything
"Fuck Nike (but get your bag)" so controversial
Skateboarding is a pile of wires where everythign is connected and nothing is slioed off

GH was offered a Vans contest gig and some SLS commercials - ego level up but he turns them down
6 months later he does a Hateline Vans episode that woulda been a clear conflict
The Robert Neal situation
It's been on sight since the Hot Wheels jacket video
Neal's been in his DMs
His flunkies have been spreading the word
Neal deleted his spicy comments but is claiming G code
Joa sez dude is a public figure and blasting his fashionista image but is super fragile when he gets made fun of for it
Bag Chasin
Neal flexed that he made more money with the fashion shit then GH did with YT (lol ya sure?)
Back to Gary's Fuck Nike but get your bag
Any behavior is justified as long as you're getting paid for it
Toxic positivity has your homies cheering you on
Fashion has a parasitic relationship to skating which is likely why core skating remains skeptical despite fashion always sniffing around
Skating goes through booms and busts and through that maintains its credibility. Whenever skaters are doing LV shoots it's time to liquidate your distro
The fashion skaters aren't really trying to push the style envelope. They're just trying to get paid
Bag chasin isn't a positive development in skateboarding and if somebody wants to beat him up for saying that whatever but it still sucks
It bugs me in his reviews of parts and contests when he unnecessary specifies the fs/bs of tricks where it's just implied. Why say back feeble? You just say feeble. I would expect that from noobs and other YouTubers but not him. Also calling a 5050 and back 5050 front grind and back grind sounds dumb and is technically inaccurate as it could refer to any grind variation

Is the lack of published skate photos with captions creating a free-for-all in trick names? I swear I heard him call a 180 nosegrind on a hubba a 180 switch crook. Not sure how you get that

Expand Quotethe fishbowl rant was easily the hardest he's ever gone in the paint.[close]
Have you (or anyone) got a link to the fishbowl rant? I'm not sure I've seen this.
the fishbowl rant was easily the hardest he's ever gone in the paint. beatrice, neal, and tyshawn pulling the race card was a last ditch effort because they knew he was right and had no legitimate rebuttal. robert neal saying it's on sight with GH just goes to show how insecure he is. a grown man threatening someone with violence because they got their feelings hurt by something that was said (and in this case what was said wasn't even that bad,) is probably the most childish and insecure thing you could actually do. if robert neal, or someone robert neal associated, actually put hands on Joa and word got out about it, his career would be a wrap.
people's careers have ended for way way less and Joa is a beloved figure in skateboarding. robert neal is a cornball and him threatening violence furthers that sentiment.
Listened to the fishbowl video today.
An excellent point that GH makes is according to robert Neal, no one can criticize him because he is paid to do what he does, but in the same regard, Joa is also being paid to do what HE does, so he should be afforded the same leeway.
I do think that the one point that GH doesn’t touch on, and maybe doesn’t need to be said, is the fact that many of these hyper sensitive skaters lack critical thinking skills, which is the root of all of these issues IMO. It’s easy to forget that a lot of these guys are fucking idiots.

I'm half joking here, but I got the feeling that lot of skaters are fascinated by tech tricks/ledge dancing/rodney mullen at the beginning of their journey and as they grow, they find an appreciation for style/tasteful trick and spot selection/outfits...
And what Joa seems to be doing is the opposite, he's finding the joy in those difficult and technical and sometimes ugly tricks far into his skateboarding journey or career. It's really fun to see for a change.

I’m very fond of Gifted Hater but some of his descriptions of tricks are egregiously incorrect. Seems like anything in the 180 nosegrind or fakie 5-0 realm often trips him up with the trick names.

Like I said the cheapest tier is 4.99, you can't subscribe for less than that. I was being conservative and assuming everyone subbed at 4.99 when obviously there will be people subbing for 9.99. And I gave a 20% patreon fee when I'm sure it's much less than that. When income is discussed nobody uses post tax numbers, it is always gross income.

That's also the reason I took this pretty seriously. Yes obviously the video is a joke but I had taken the day off from my job to participate in the contest. Without getting into too much detail, I don't have a lot of leeway to miss a day of work so I tried to do my best and it somehow worked out in the end. Respect to Joa for paying all the skaters as well.The contest needed someone who took it seriously to round out the vibes so I'm glad you did. I think the judges scored your line low the first time to see if they could get even crazier tricks on your second run but when you missed a few, the whole thing kinda went lopsided when the others had better runs than their first. I'm glad it worked out for you in the end.

You're fried. His dry-ass "not arguing just confused" and the score-reaction face were easily the funniest moments in an overall very entertaining video. The combination of personalities in this vid is almost perfect and the story arch of Jeff's underscore to triumph fully is. I wonder if hindsight will mark this as an awesome one-off or the beginning of an entire new era in joa's career. Imagine somebody puts actual money behind this. Could get crazy.

That was excellent. He perfectly stated so many valid points, and yes, it’s important that the younger generation viewing his platform hears these things.
He did say he’s “the last person who’s gonna stand up for Slap”… and I would love it if he elaborated. He’s one of the very few “industry” people who would actually have the balls and communication skills to.
There’s countless parallels between his opinions and ours. I can’t help but feel that his only gripe with us would be the select few who talk shit on him. Which fair enough, I guess.

The board brand with just 1 pro and scheduled drops is fucking disgusting, symptomatic of all facets of consumer marketing. No one makes a product anymore, it's drops, with manufactured scarcity to drive up resale prices. Except Primitive's decks / apparel are so unappealing there is a glut of product that can't move even when heavily discounted.
Their last WWE collab was the worst by far - I can see how the anime ones would hit a demographic (outside the core skate market, disposable income, collector, anime fan), but who is out there clamoring for a DX or Stone Cold graphic??

Now that was some gifted hating. Need more!
Micheal Taylor's body language is so cringe. And his sidekick is the icing on the cake.
Prod's dad migrated from a farm in Sinaloa to Compton, joined the army to get his papers and was a C-tier comedian at best. His biggest role was a minor character on Cheech Marin's "Born in East LA" movie. So it is incorrect to say Prod comes from money. However, Prod is surely acting like a rich prick these days.

His dad owns multiple businesses (partial owner of The Laugh Factory) and has been in a ton of movies and was doing so before P Rod was born. He's a rich kid no question. His fathers hardships were well over in P Rods life.
If that isn't bad enough his dad votes and donates to the Republican party.

I get at the end of the day skateboarding goods are a business.
But it's crazy 2 me people will listen to Mike Taylor say the quit parts out loud with a smile on his face and be like "but gifted has a patreon thats successful" get real. That trim that fat comment gross as fuck. I guess it's kinda fitting for a dude whose money came after skateboarding. Again I get its a fucking business but Jesus christ imagine wondering why anything you touch gets no respect in the skateboard world. Be it your actual skateboarding career or whatever brand or coin or fucking leech as pump dump scam your peddling next. It's crazy 2 me people at the end of the day will rationalize all that just cus the dude pointing out makes a decent bit of money from patreon.
Mikey taylor a fucking loser. Prod also but he's practically a child star turned rich guy. You'd expect him to be stupid but hearing him pretend to he's not in over his head is very funny. He's just fucking ambitiously dumb. I wonder how many of these primitive collabs have just been him getting ripped off never even coming to fruition. Prod just seems like he's awkwardly finding a life after skateboarding it dosent even feel like he believes half the shit he's talking about. The way he talks feels like he also may have squandered alot of his succes$ thru primitive so hes just grasping at straws.
You gotta grow up someday and capitalism is ugly obviously. But mikey taylor deserves all the hate. Prod too honestly. Its funny hearing him talk about sales not doing well like they werent selling boards at 80 dollars years before covid or inflation or wood prices bullshit all to cover whatever money they were paying fucking DBZ to license their characters and fonts and shit fuck.
Mikey Taylor is fucking insufferable to listen to. It’s a shame his part can’t be erased from MindfieldWell at least it has a great Dinosaur Jr. song so you can just close your eyes and listen to it. Or wash dishes or go to a toilet.

So that's moist critical's thing. Wordy owns and references? He's got a way with a turn of a phrase? I'm seriously asking.
I used to work with a pro gamer. I am pretty sure he had some sort of malignant personality thing going on as he had to be fired twice for sexually harassing the same woman.

Maybe your guy should start a youtube channel
And yes
Poor summary and “analysis” of the P Rod/Mikey Taylor vid. Bro says he thinks he probably makes more money off Youtube than either Mikey Taylor or P Rod, at the time I watched this it was at almost 600 views after 14 hours of it being up on Youtube, either this dude is delusional or lays his sarcasm on extremely thick but I’m leaning towards the former. Am I wrong to want to hate on this guy? He’s one hell of a waffler with the shit he says, his trick selection is horrendous and the fake steeze on the rollaway of his bank casper stall that he plays on repeat is repulsive to me. Also is he adding a skin smoothing filter to his selfie footage? It looks really unnatural, it reminds me of those heavily edited Joeyy instagram selfies, but not tongue in cheek at all. I feel bad for not liking this guy so much but I feel like I can’t help it. He calls himself “Michael Relevant” which would be fucking lame even if he wasn’t some random older dude I’ve never heard of from some miscellaneous Middle America town. Nothing wrong with being a random older dude I’ve never heard of from some miscellaneous Middle America town, in fact there are a lot of upstanding, cool, respectable and admirable people out there who fall under that category, but those guys don’t claim Relevant as their fucking internet moniker! Anyways, if you guys see any redeeming attributes about this guy please point them out, because as I said before I feel bad for hating this guy so much and feel like I shouldn’t, but he’s just so wack.

Joa stole your valor. He built his YouTube empire of ur backs. It sadness me to see this but he used you guys and still does.
in that SL stream he mentioned that Mikey Taylor was in his DMs following the video and asked him to come down to do his podcast."Hey kid, you know everything you said shitting on me, well how about you say it to my face which is in turn verifying everything you said about how much of a shit cunt I am because I need your viewers"
he refused to when he found out he won't be getting paid, and called him out since the only reason why he wants GH on was the potential views and revenue it could bring Mikey if he shared on all his platforms, which Mikey Taylor acknowledged one of the reasons why he wanted him on
How much you wanna bet mikey would try to get him to invest in his real estate scam

Pretty wack to shit on Opus.

They’ve actually been working with my local shop to do little giveaways and stuff and from what the owner has told me they’ve been really cool to work with. Also have a homie who’s been getting them flowed and he says they’re really comfy and nice to skate in.

Am I the only one that thinks it’s fucked up for a dude who has this much influence in skateboarding to just shit all over a startup brand? Take shots at vans, fine, but it’s wack to me that he’d just dump on a little brand like that. Especially since he reps last resort so hard. Y’all can kook me into the dirt if you want but telling me that I can’t be critical of his actions without buying a pair of Opus is fucking stupid.

I’m really ready to move on for the sake of my mental health but ffs man how is that going ham on him? Of all people I think GH can take a small amount of criticism about him criticizing something else. I’ve been watching since he was 1800 nipples and had <1k subs. I’ve been a supporter of his, I just didn’t like him punching down that hard for no reason. And whoever equated king skateboards to opus is stretching insanely hard. Tyshawn is pretty far from an underdog but I get it was an easy stone to throw so you can have that, my guy. I’ll fuck off of this thread and hopefully the people who I’ve turned into mean girls can hit the ignore button on me ✌️

Fuck no, I generally don’t hype shit shoes on these forums. I’m an individual of fine taste.
The point is mine and any respectable individual’s opinion is based off of one’s own original conclusions, not what some talking head or YouTube personality suggests. When I like or dislike something, that’s how I genuinely feel.
