Just watched that Es edit and Thiago Lima's style feels very forced and fake. Anyone else think this? Maybe it's natural for him, but seems a little ridiculous to me.

Tangent, but my thought process when I saw the description on that video:
1. Huh they spelled Tiago wrong.
2. Wait Tiago isn't on éS.
3. How the fuck is there a guy with that name who skates kind of similar but obviously not as good.
4. Imagine trying to make it in skateboarding right now and your name is something like Grant Tailer/Ishod Whear.
5. Fuck
But yeah I agree.

Shane Heyl’s exaggerated roll up carves and squatting prior to ledge tricks is so dumb.

“Grand Tailor Eyes Shoddy Wears” sounds like a a poor newspaper headline or half of a joke that only skaters would get.

True but the dude is like 45. Gotta imagine how much effort it requires to pop into stuff at that age. I'm gonna be rolling up into tricks for a straight mile before I have the power to pop in and flip out of stuff at 45.
-
The guys I used to skate with about 5-10 years ago who turned into Slappy bros. Big theatrical pushing from 40m away with facial grimace and surfer arms. Then about 10-15m before the curb start carving around washing off 95% of the "speed" then grind 2m max.
Pros: heitor seems a bit contrived. Maite. That Canadian manual guy.

Not the first time I’ve heard someone say this
And I will admit once I heard it and revisited his footage I could understand what people were talking about
But here’s the thing— Pullman is like 40+ years old, plus tall and lanky. He does what he can to keep his arms in check. People with long ass arms battle this and end up using their arms for balance, and hopefully they can massage the flailing into something somewhat graceful. Hell, even Dylan kinda did it with his “vampire” pose (see Kyle Beachy’s essay on the topic). Of course people accuse Dylan of having fake style as well, but I think when you can start to identify a whole little tendency among lanky skaters it stops being “fake” style and starts being something else. AO does it a little bit (less, but it’s still there), and I’m sure we can find others if we look as well.

I think it's more about his hips and legs than his arms. Is he English or Welsh? If English he probably has to put in extra effort just to his body isnt florpazorpin all over the shop. Don't know what's in the water but no skater from England has ever had a body where the upper and lower work together.

Chris is Welsh. I get that his landing pose could be seen to be a bit contrived but he's pretty much done it since at least the early 90s, plus I think it actually looks good rather than trying too hard. Also, as stated he's a pretty big dude for a pro skater and also skates fast as fuck so gotta get those arms going to keep yourself steady when you're not 5'6 like a lot of pros.

Shane Heyl’s exaggerated roll up carves and squatting prior to ledge tricks is so dumb.
He is naturally goofy as hell so it does not count as "fake style"

Being a tall dude I can attest to the whack lanky style. If I’m skating transition I’m full JT eagle arms while grinding and safety hands while carving.
Certain tricks on street I do a heavy dab. Especially sw front nose/k’s. I’m also usually stunned when I land shit so I end up holding the pose for too long. A lot of flat ground tricks I do an Ace Ventura arm swing. I really hate all of it and really love tall dudes that are in control of their bodies.

Fake style isn’t the same as style you don’t like. I’m not always crazy bout gonz’s style all the time but it’s clearly way more authentic than burberry

It's a bit like when a scooterer rides a skateboard. Their shoulders naturally are twisted 90 degrees from their hips and they don't know what to do with their hands so they just flop down (or worse hold them infront like a t rex)

http://www.instagram.com/p/B_lUTxeFn_V/
I am guilty of holding my pose after a trick too sometimes. In my case it is because most tricks are mad difficult for me and I need a lot of concentration and inner calmness. So when I land a hard trick, my arms freeze and I am a bit positively shocked that I roll away.
Maybe it is the same for Tommy too. I mean, have you seen that trick?! Holy shit.

This guy fucks….
I totally agree with this sentiment being a 6’2” dude I’m definitely off kilter most times on a board but I don’t care.
As nitpicking as I can be about certain style’s I’m also going to mirror or at least try to mirror those that I like Brian Anderson for one and JT the other.
For me if I can say someone’s got a whack style but also rip on tricks that look awful, there’s a huge difference between fake steez and poor trick selection. Just saying and I’ll be the odd man out.

As a 45 year old who also does nose slide crooks on ledges, I can assure you the squat is not necessary.

never join a debate team or become a lawyer. this is the most natural he's ever looked on a skateboard
-
i guess i see this differently but i think it's only fake steeze if they do something that changes the execution of the trick itself.
Like Flynn's weird ride aways never actually change the way he does the trick.. it didn't effect his pop or anything about the trick itself in the slightest until after the tricks in the bag.
Fake steeze from a ride away would be more like refusing to swing your arms as you pop changing the entire execution of your trick because you wanted to land and ride away without moving your arms like Yuto.

from GMOS Jenkem Interview:
I know you have strong opinions about skating styles. What makes someone’s style bad, in your opinion?
How they do their tricks. And what they do when they land. Y’know, it’s like a performance. Some people pause, but they do a pose. Those people are presenting skateboarding for other people.
You mean that post-landing fake steeze, right?
Yes! Uh, Dylan Reider.
You don’t like Dylan Rieder’s style!!!?
No, no, I’m just tellin’ you! If you watch his arms when he does that shit. Dude, it was totally fake steez. It was deliberate. It’s cool if that’s what you’re doing, but if you’re trying to act like that’s real style…He was a model before they discovered him. I looked at him as a mannequin in a sense. He was really good, but he wasn’t himself. It’s not to be disrespectful, but he was raised to be a star. I mean, he’s good. He had to develop the talent. But that’s the reason why some people who passed are remembered every year, but there’s so many people that passed that don’t get an industry bow. But he made some notes for a lot of people.
---
I kind of agree but at the same time Dylan was doing some pretty insane stuff too and pretty creative approach to spots and stuff. The arms thing you can get past. I can defiintely think of some really late arm jank on some clips though. Id say he still had better style than a lot of guys, like Koston.

The guys I used to skate with about 5-10 years ago who turned into Slappy bros. Big theatrical pushing from 40m away with facial grimace and surfer arms. Then about 10-15m before the curb start carving around washing off 95% of the "speed" then grind 2m max.
my kind of session

I might get a ton of hate for being brutally honest for this hot take, but Carl Aikens’ flowy stee kinda starts feeling cotrived. To prove my point:

Tim Okazaki fake af
Plus, he had Gay Style way before it was poppin’. Jen Okazaki, his momager, was damn near a prophet and way ahead of the curve.

You're wrong.

Ditto. Do not see anything fake. Other than loose and lanky stee

I actually like how casually sloppy everything looks here. Perhaps the opposite of fake style.

....style?
-
Definitely style.

I'm a short guy so I give tall/lanky skaters the benefit of the doubt on questionable style unless it's completely egregious
I'd be flailing my shit and holding weird poses to keep my balance if i was 6'2 and not 5'7

so, people who move dramatically while doing tricks have fake steeze

You take that back right now. You're hurting my feelings.

Let me make this clear I dig the dude his style is dope. The after shrug is a ting in my opinion. Like antuan and others shit can be steezed to death. No one is safe from over steez

You get a pass after a certain age. Your brain gets stronger than your body and makes it do silly things

Wade Desarmo does that all the time and he has one of the cleanest styles out.

Skipped to the end but Yuto has to have been said.

As much as I love vincent, the shrug and camera beam after almost every trick is a little much. Had no idea it was a regular thing he just did the whole sesh.

yes he does.
