If you aren’t using the nose to it’s full kung-fu kick potential, then yeah, symmetrical boards make way more sense.

Never have to flip it back around to do a trick that only works on one of the kicks, wear both ends down evenly, etc.

I’m mildly interested (I’m riding his old model right now with the hard edges sanded off, and it looks almost the same), but the new one a bit too skinny for me. I don’t want to have to get a skinnier pair of trucks for it.

What’s more interesting, as someone noted in another thread, I’d that the crane on the nose and tail resemble an ‘&’, which might be the first time a SLAP inside joke made it onto a skate deck. A Powell deck at that.

Thanks for posting OP.

So I saw && at my local doing Butter Flips and Rail Stands the other day. Seeing this filled me with absolute rage. I pushed at him at full speed, mostly letting my anger take complete control of my body. I powerslide into &&, causing him to fall backward and hit his head, knocking him out.

I stuffed && in my Honda Odyssey and brought him back to my house. He smelled like Dude Wipes and homeopathically treated prostate cancer. I tied him to a chair in my basement and made him watch the new Primitive video. && screamed in agony, because I knew his mind couldn't process actually good skating. He broke the rope that was constraining him and started Walking The Dog. This very action caused my basement window to explode, which he used as a distraction to escape.

There is no cure for this freestyle epidemic.

He had to read from his notebook to remember what tricks he could do during that mini ramp S.K.A.T.E. thing a few months back.

The more I see of this dude, the more obnoxious he gets. He's so smug. He's probably filthy rich at this point too I would guess.

We should have been riding twin tails for the past 30 years. What the fuck is wrong with everyone thinking you need this weird oval shape that gets smaller in the back.

Saying that twin tails should be the main board in every shop is not "stating facts", it's stating a wildly unpopular opinion.

yes the symmetrical board makes total sense, it should've been always an option, but nothing in skateboarding till this point has gone along the lines of logical thought.
Dunno if someone tried it 30 years ago, but Mr. J Casanova launched a symmetrical board on plan b around 2008 and never got this much attention. I had forgotten about it till Ishod started talking about his board some years ago.

I think it never got popular cause the vast mayority of skaters suck at it and can't do tricks on every direction as we theorically could.

There were def symmetrical boards out before j rogs. I'm not against symmetrical boards really but there's as much advantage as there is disadvantage. Having different nose and tails can better for certain things. Id like a symmetrical sized board but one kick cut pointy and the other kinda square best of both worlds tail wise. Or they should double drill both ends of a symmetrical board so you can adjust you board as you like.

Not really, I think the tail was bigger.

The Vision “double vision” it was ripped off from was symmetrical though

I think there was a really square Tony Hawk that came out shortly after that may have been totally symmetrical too, but it’s been ages since I’ve seen that one and my memory is pretty fuzzy
Title: Re: && Has Reinvented the Skateboard Again
Post by: augustmoon on September 13, 2022, 10:20:57 AM
Also I want to say that the nose was bigger in the early 90s because noseslides were really popular, and the tail being smaller was probably for 3 flips.  No idea why it stuck so long, it really doesn’t make any functional sense.

Even if you never skate switch it still makes sense.

What the fuck are y’all smoking? Skate a symmetrical board if you like it, but there are plenty of reasons that a slightly wider front makes sense if you’re thinking from a perspective that involves more turning and carcing, less popping and spinning. There’s a reason surfboards aren’t twin tailed, and a lot of snowboards aren’t either.

i love having huge nose for noseslide. when i do switch noseslide, i pop off the tail.
normally for switch i pop off the nose
for fakie and nollie i pop off the nose - some like fakie off the tail which i understand (i dont mind it either and its necessary sometimes)
i dont think i could nollie off the tail. that seems wrong to me. i could do a regular trick off the nose if i had to and have, but prefer not to.
i like how the trucks wear out un-evenly. i think it helps my OCD when i am throwing down the board knowing i have thrown it down the correct way.  everyone always says "I ride the front truck looser than the back" but that just happens over time i think.

Can somebody explain the fake Supreme shirts / hoodies that have probably been Powell's top selling merch these past couple years?

Based on the 1979 advertisement "Energy For An Empty Tank World", art director Craig Stecyk designed a trade show booth in 1991 based on the gas station theme complete with vintage pumps, oil cans and 200 hub caps. The Supreme graphic was created to decorate the pumps. After the trade show the graphic continued to be used in advertising and on T-shirts, sweatshirts and stickers.

Powell knowing how to make money. It's so weird how many people I've actually seen on Powell decks. They all leave the skatepark by 10AM.

He officially ruined chameleon paint for me with that new helmet.

Yeah, Powell realized that they will never have a "cool" team again and focused on what I assume is the largest growth area of skateboarding. There are skate YouTubers I've never heard of who will drop a video this week which will get more views in a week than the new GX1000 has after a month.

[close]
Can somebody explain to me who this Nigel guy is that’s filming him?
I get mega, big-time creep vibes of this dude.
Does dude skate too?
Who he even is?
[close]

Used to skate with/film P-Rod in the early days.  His sister is P-Rod’s ex baby mama.
[close]

well he's a mega creepo
[close]


He strikes me as the kind of guy that constantly gives out unsolicited trick-advice to underage female skaters
He strikes me as the kind of guy who will invite a local from the spot back to his place, drug them & try to take advantage of them. Then, when they come to, naked & in this Nigel dude’s bathroom, and try to fight their way out of there, Nigel seems like the sort of guy to immediately make a vlog post about how he was attacked by a crazy person in his own home.
THAT’s the kind of creepy dude he strikes me as.

Yeah, Powell realized that they will never have a "cool" team again and focused on what I assume is the largest growth area of skateboarding. There are skate YouTubers I've never heard of who will drop a video this week which will get more views in a week than the new GX1000 has after a month.
What are you talking about? Dan Corrigan seems cools as fuck. Doelling, &&,, the little kid, Chris hiett. It's a rad crazy team of misfits making videos just like Powell did back in the day before everyone else did. Should Powell be more like the real team. A whole team of the exact same personality?

I kinda like the Powell team and admittedly have enjoyed some of their vlog stuff but I always fast forward whenever tooth man is pointing the camera at his face or any of the talking shit basically. Really wish he would shut the fuck up sometimes cause the vibe is usually fun but Corrigan is annoying as fuck and his bad breath and rancid bo translate all the way through an iPhone and YouTube's smellgorithm. && seems like a nice enough kid but I think all the attention is starting to go to his head. I liked him a lot more before I saw the mini ramp mano a mano. You shouldn't have to explain gross-ass coping dance tricks before you do them. Also, I'm pretty sure he straight-up snaked a turn in the alternating offense and cheated to an early-round win. Not that it's very important or anything but still..

And I wouldn't let that Nigel dude within 500 meters of my children at a skatepark...

The marketing side seems to be these days. They used to have an amazing brand, but its been a while since they made any real attempt. They don’t put out videos or great ads anymore, they just basically make their riders promote themselves on their own, and have lost any kind of positive image.

advertising and influencing via social media is way more effective than ads in magazines or releasing vids on thrasher.
those braille people did it the same way and just look hwo popular they are. i think nhs/santa cruz/krux/etc are doing it the same way. im always getting their videos/post shown on yt and insta.

Nigel dosent need to fuck kids you lunatics.

He just drives 10 year old kids down to spots El toro and let's em fuck them selves on their own accord.

Seriously tho even if he ain't diddling kids he represents a low place in skateboarding where some grown ass father and grown ass degen pedo vibe filmer split youtube revenue on the latest grom does x video. Majority of that dudes youtube channel the last couple years just him hanging out with some kid and their dad all day sk8n.

Nothing wrong with kids who rip but even nigels dad wasn't forcing him down eltoro at 10 years old.

I recall someone on here, think it might have been that Cheetahsheets? chap, saying if they were to start a team these days it should be based on skating ability (obviously, though FA seem to have other ideas), but equally important would be the personality they project via social media, as no-one is interested in some "cool" guy who maybe amazing at skateboarding but looks the same as all the other "cool" skateboarders and offers nothing you can't already get.

Rocco got rid of the need to do well at competitions to become a pro, now it's getting rid of the skaters whose skill is the abilty to produce some footage for a video every other year.

I get they put Dan Corrigan on to help build their riders youtube channels, but he really isn’t helping them.  His skating paired with Andy/Powell only accentuates their worst qualities.  Really highlights how mismatched the whole group is.  Appreciate his hustle but I’m not a fan of his style at all, the way he wiggles around and tries to skate creatively, it makes me uncomfortable. And his wardrobe is sort of eggregious.  He pushes && content from a guilty pleasure down into a lower tier.

I dunno if the mic picks it up but he basically yells all the time. It's like one of those videos except you're in it and can't escape.

I get the whole "casually dinking around doing random little tricks" vibe is how people sometimes skate when hanging with their friends and he's better than I'll ever be, but I don't get how the persona is successfully marketed. Those followers can't all be real.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a new Powell riders handbook that told the team how to speak.

I’d bet there absolutely is. The stuff being said by &&   and even in that Nine Club review of the dragon wheels seemed scripted and “edgy with swearing”. And it seems to be working well.

A revolutionary symmetrical concept that’s been around for years? An exciting new graphic that as far as I’m concerned is basically his old graphic? A promotional video full of ABDs?  I feel like I’m losing my damn mind

This thread title rubs me the wrong way. This dude did NOT reinvent skateboarding once and even less did he reinvent it again. Rant over.

At least he's not Simon Woodstock.

How dafuq do you not know who Walker Ryan is?

Easy, too many pro skaters. I have no idea who he is even though I live in the same part of the country.

You don't have to know who somebody is in order to behave like a functioning adult when somebody politely introduces themselves to you.

Andy was way more fun to skate with before he did freestyle. His over exposure brought his kook meter to abnormal levels. Definitely because the company he keeps. Filming with NKA and Dan is cancerous
