Swithflip just likes keeping it controversial every now and then and putting slap in its place.  It makes him feel good.  Not a big deal.

The best part is he’s not trolling. Watch his footage and it’s all illegal nose slide and crook combinations. He has bad taste and cannot see why people value different things than absolute most tech.

Pretty much anyone hailed as a GOAT imo. There's more talent and diversity in skateboarding than there ever has been at any other time and at a certain point, who the "best" is ultimately comes down to personal preference and what you like to see done.

I like Nik Stain, I like his fast approach to skating but I think he can do a bit more. His bag of tricks is samey. Maybe people just tell him “you do these tricks with good style. Do only those tricks.”

Edit: Though that kinky 50-50 in Mind Goblin was a cool surprise.

thats fair. had the same experience with a few guys like Anthony Pappalardo in fully flared or HUF in the DVS video.
sometimes it was the just the song and simple tricks that made it not good for me. now I love simple stuff if I can see skill behind it. or not the ego of thinking you are the style god because you chose simple. do it in a humble way.
i was just 12 year old kid who played Tony hawk so what to expect.

Leo Valls.
I don't hate the guy. I was actually a fan of his for a while, the only wall board I ever had was his pro model (altho it was mostly because it had a Burmese cat on it that looked like a cat I had at the time).
He is a little annoying/whatever but people always seem to bring up him being actually good at skating but choosing to do his own thing but with no evidence. Then they'll link some like a 50cm long noseslide revert on a shin high ledge (that he barely rolls away from) like "see hes got mad ledge skills"

I still skip Papalardo FF part cause to me it seems like he tried so hard to skate like that. Its diferent with Gino being less tech post Trillogy. Papalardo just turned a cool guy that he wasnt in Mosaic     . The end of career was soon after FF.

But Max is a messiah

Andrew Allen is a hunk with cute ass fits and he looks damn good on a board. Wrangler butts drive me nuts. Nick boserio probably has a stinky beard and doesn’t wash his sheets

If AA was sitting at a candle lit dinner table with a bottle of wine and he poured you a glass, wouldn’t you sit in the empty seat? Once he locks eyes with you, and you see that shimmer in his eyes, you’d be done. Boserio would probably be eating chicken strips

The favorite overrated skater here is Pablo. Mami has to get her pipe

That’s easy.

It’s whoever currently has great style, but can only do a narrow set of things really well. Most likely has bodied some recent local VX part but always underwhelms when filmed in HD. This person also is either kinda overweight or has amazing hair.

I first met the dude when was like 15 in Allentown, PA. Nik has been skating stairs and rails since middle/high school. He chose to skate different shit as he got older. Go watch old Homebase skateshop videos. His skating is improving but it's not by skating rails, that's nothing new to him, it's changed to skating the type of shit he likes to skate.

Maybe you're not old enough to remember but Fred was on a tear mid to late 90's. He upped the bigger ledge game, and had a lot to do with the transition from low and tech to big and tech. His switch game was ahead if its time and what he did at Hubba alone should be enough for your questions.

The dude doesn’t need to skate rails or anything in particular, just learn some new tricks. And I don’t just mean better variations of his go to’s. Do a switch tre on flat or a front crook or something. I like his style but his skating is super predictable, kinda like a Cyrus part (I like his skating way more tho).

Some people here really reach for the stars when looking for reasons to talk down on a pro lol.

 My 2 cents to this thread is that Heitor and that dude that just closed the new Chocolate video Carl, sorry do absolutely nothing for me. Their skating seems so god damn pretentious and if they had skinnier pants on Slap would hate them. That being said, they both have gotten a “wow” or a “that was sick” from me a couple times but I can’t even remember what tricks were done to warrant that reaction, nothing sticks out to me.

Yep, and no one is reaching for anything. K-Rod has a lot of clips like that where you’re like “huh… they really let him get away with that one…”. This goes back to the idea that a lot of pros now are more niche lifestyle models than they are pro skaters.

Who had more total footage in their career AO or Gino? I'm guessing Gino, but lots of his later parts were quite short or just clips.

This question peaked my interest, it’s somewhat even in what people would consider video parts.

Gino has more parts, but all of them were around 1:30-1:45 except Yeah Right, which was 2 minutes and 30 seconds. If you include a couple Nike commercials and some Pretty Sweet clips that’s around 15-17 minutes of total footage, and that’s being generous.

Alex has less parts, but most were longer. His shared parts have around the same amount of footy that a Gino full part would have.

Olson has
- Gnar Gnar (about 2 minutes)
- Fully Flared (4 minutes, excluding the 2 minute meltdown montage)
-Bill Strobecks section in Cinemetographer Project (about a minute of his footage)
- Pretty Sweet ( a little over 4 minutes, but other dudes had clips, and TY Evans a damn fool with that slow-mo, so really about 3 minutes)
- about 2 minutes of footy in Cherry
- about 2 minutes of footy in his ‘Boys of the Summer’ part
- Shared 917 part with Vince, about 1 and a half minutes

Where Olson edges out Gino is that he also has bunch of random shit sprinkled in various tour vids, Crailtap segments, YouTube and Instagram shit spanning from 2006 until the pandemic

- The Strobeck vids before Supreme
- Time to shine montage (which I can’t even watch anymore because of how many dead people around my age was in that section)
- Supreme Bowl from 2007
- Beauty and the Beast tours
- All those Quick Silver tours
- various Nike clips
-Swoosh by Bill Strobeck
- That collection of Instagram footy that turned into his magnum opus somehow

That’s stuff is about at least 5 minutes of extra shit right there.

I like Nik Stain, I like his fast approach to skating but I think he can do a bit more. His bag of tricks is samey. Maybe people just tell him “you do these tricks with good style. Do only those tricks.”

Edit: Though that kinky 50-50 in Mind Goblin was a cool surprise.

You gotta see him skate transition, also samey at times but his backside O, and tailslide are amazing.

how to be overrated:

- skate in a time barley anyone remembers who's on a website arguing about skateboarding

- party animal = everyone loves you. dont need skill

- skate crusty spots. you cant look good on a basic spot? ride down a street full of pebbles and act like you are constantly in danger

- wear the right gear. habitat, ipath = white people feeling ethnic

- video tape yourself saving monks. dont just do it. make sure its caught on film.

- do tricks switch. people will think your bag of tricks is insanly large if you do switch tricks. normal idiot thinks everythings harder switch.

- have the right industry friends from touring and being a party animal that will put your name over thousand skater who were better around that time to make it seem like you were the goat

- skate fast even if it leads to nothing

- be a nice guy overall. discussion will always end up to where people take it personal because you've been just a nice guy.

dude we are all hipsters. skateboarding consists of 70 percent of people like rad rat or revive. and I dont mean that in any negative way I dont hate them at all. why do you think nyjah is so popular? why does he get these big deals? because people buy his product and love him. they go to street league and cheer without thinking anything could be whack about it. we are just the taste makers/ out pointers

i suspect that most people who think max palmer is overrated weren't paying attention to the old john wilson videos and missed out on his progression over the past decade. watching him (and cyrus!) go from pseudo-novelties to genuinely amazing, talented skateboarders doing shit like kickflip backside noseblunt in that fountain or backside smith grind madison square garden has been so fun and unexpected. they really took it from 0 - 100

that, or they're just slap hipsters who get a kick out of being contrarian for the sake of contrarianism

To be clear, I don't dislike max, I enjoy some of his stuff, the more creative clips. BUT the pedestal SALP has placed him on is just silly. IDGAF about his progression, MFer needs to tighten his trucks and stop contributing to this wobbly board hipster cool guy BS trend. Also, his long hair phase was disgusting. Also, next to Cyrus, he is incredibly underwhelming.
