This is where you maybe had a thought that wasn’t relevant enough for a new topic, but you still wanna ask the question/make the statement.
It’s hot little takes.
My ones is Alex Olson’s cool guy NY legacy was irretrievably tarnished by being disavowed by the NY cool guys when they started Limosine.

I used to joke about having a micropenis/tiny penis with girls I was going to hook up with. I figured it was funny while also making me look kind of cool and secure, and then they would be pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have a micropenis. Underpromise to overdeliver scenario. I stopped the third time I heard “your penis isn’t THAT small” that shit hurt my heart

Both skinny and baggy look dumb as fuck. Also I personally don’t think a profile pic on a forum equals to wearing size 44 jeans out in public.

New unpopular opinion thread I guess
NYC skating gets way too much credit for being “crusty”, it’s the least crusty city in the northeast.
Streets and sidewalks are way better here than philly, never been to Boston but I imagine it’s a nightmare up there.
Most popular ledges are less chunked than popular LA ledges.
Bad run up here means there will be like one bad sidewalk crack that can be bondo’d in a second.
I’m from Maryland and my hometown was equally crusty if not crustier than NYC, it’s really not hard to skate here if you’re from anywhere but the west coast.
The hardest part is dealing with all the pedestrians and lurkers but guess what? Maybe don’t go skating exclusively during the summer from 3-6pm and you’ll be good! You have free reign of the entire city as soon as it hits November because 80% of nyc skaters quit or severely cut back as soon as it hits 40 degrees. Winters here aren’t nearly as bad as people pretend, it’s pretty mild and not even as windy as philly.
TLDR: pretty much anybody from the Midwest, Canada, UK, Scandinavia, S. America etc. has more crust credibility than nyc skaters
-
My my hot little take is that they should have Skateboarding debates on ESPN’s show First Take. Hearing loud ass Stephen A Smith screaming about who should be SOTY at the end of the year is exactly what skateboarding needs. Have a nerd from slap and a pro argue with him about it. This would be fantastic television.

Video idea: show a non-skater Jagger Eaton clips and Gino’s Chocolate Tour part. A 30-something year old skater has to convince them why Gino is better, if they can convince them they get prize money or something. Imagine the meltdowns

I wouldn't be surprised if Max Kellerman skated in the 90s. Hell, he released a pretty sick rap song with his younger brother in 1994. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF0DntqwMKg
Totally unrelated but there's a very tragic story with his younger brother too. He took in a down-and-out boxer (ironically nicknamed the Harlem Hammer) who ended up murdering him with a hammer.

If you were a kid in the 90s your dad probably did wear some massive 90s chinos/slacks when they were dressing "nice". Still a difference between jncos tho I guess. It's all in the ankles.

When I was a kid and stuck at home one summer, there wasn't much to eat in the house, but there was a box of Bisquick. On the box was a recipe for silver dollar pancakes, so I got out the griddle and set to work. The recipe yield was 50. 50 silver dollar pancakes. I piled them up on a plate, covered it in butter and syrup, and ate the whole fucking thing. Then I went skating.

Nah. I'm hella safe.
Women usually love me.
I'm mature and honest in all matters of the heart. Friends or fucking I'm talking to my partner straight to the eye always. I'm telling you exactly how I feel and what I want day one. I don't got time for games and shit. I won't be controlled.
This is making me want a lady friend. Or 5.
Anyway.
Baggy pants cats sometimes seem to have an issue with respecting women. I seen it a ton. It's almost like part of the look.
It usually depends on how removed they are from punk rock.
Yo yo yo this is my bitch. Hey do you like Slipnot? Prodigy? Nigel? Prod?
I respect the feelings and opinions of others.
-
I can't take the "skinny jeans are restrictive" crowd seriously. Skinny jeans usualy have so much stretech that only the baggiest non-stretch jeans can compare to them in range of motion aspect.
On the other hand, extremely baggy jeans weigh a ton and clip your board and stuff around you. If baggy pants crowd really cared about comfort, they'd be skating in sweatpants. It's all fashion, just like pretending an '80s $100 Nike basketball shoe isn't a fucking terrible skate shoe.
Btw i don't wear skinny jeans. Regular fit with some stretch
-
Nah no man wants his slacks hugged up on his calves. Loose fit is essential to proper movement and relaxation. No wonder some of you are so uptight

whoever first referred to what we do on skateboards as "tricks" did skateboarding a huge disservice. it trivializes the whole thing and makes the whole activity look silly and akin to a pogo stick or yo yo. Not sure what term would be better. "Maneuver" maybe? (that sounds stupid too).
This always kinda bothered to me, but it really sticks out like a sore thumb now that skateboarding is in the Olympics.

Techniques perhaps? Maybe combo of all 3.
Something like a kickflip does seem like trick applies but say a tailslide seems like a technique. Maneuver feels more like an overall description like sliding a ledge or airing a gap etc
-
I feel you, it does infantilize what we’re trying to do.
But I also like it because it keeps it simple and uncomplicated. As adults, I think there is an urge to call them something more sophisticated, but I think we will always refer to them as “tricks”, because that’s the first thing you call them as a kid and everyone knows what you mean.
I kind of like that the word itself undersells what we are doing, and I can’t think of a better alternative. If we all started calling them “maneuvers” I’d probably just stop skating to avoid the embarrassment.
-

Skateboarding is nothing if it’s not trivial and goofy, it’s a stupid looking activity, only like 1% of skaters actually look cool skateboarding

Spots with a short landing always kinda bother me in clips/videos. Why would you pick a rail/set for a trick just to be forced to stop after 20 feet because there is a wall coming up? That just seems to be lazy spot selection.
For me, the best feeling of skating is riding away from the trick you just landed and I think that also translates in footage when it is done properly.

The reason it doesn't bother me is, there's more of a danger factor and I give them more credibility because it's harder to ride off afterwards.

I see where you’re coming from but it reminds me of skating in real life, it’s very relatable. It reminds me of when you were a kid and you had a perfect spot with like no run up or rollaway and you tried your best to skate it even though it wasn’t really that fun, just because it was the only 5 stair you had or something. I understand it being underwhelming on film though
Every time I think about these spots I think about Jerry’s concussion he got at that hubba in Paris I think it was Stay Gold, where he fell off and cracked his head against the wall in the rollaway. I really don’t like seeing people skating shit like that for that reason.
My hot take is any trick with unnecessary death factor isn’t worth it. I don’t want to see pros doing shit they can straight up just die on. If you’re skating a rail with a huge drop on the other side why bother. You know that ditch spot where people have to thread the needle between two big concrete bollard things at the bottom? Every time I see people skating that I cringe. It can’t even be that fun. Accidents happen, imagine sliding a bit and flying into a concrete wall at 30-40mph? Was your frontside halfcab flip into the bank worth that?
I think about the solo hill bombs I’ve done in my life and my palms will literally start sweating. Running reds with no spotters is suicidal and you shouldn’t let your friends do shit like that. I don’t want pros to feel pressure to do death defying shit all the time, I don’t know. Maybe I’m just soft now, but please do this shit responsibly and always keep in mind that shit is just not worth dying and abandoning your loved ones over

I was told a good story about pizza boxes the other day.
So a friend of a friend walks into a pizza shop, asks for a slice, and when asked if he wants a box, politely says no. The owner reluctantly gives him a plate, and he’s out on his way. The pizza is actually great.
So the guy frequents this pizza place a few times a week, and every time he is offered a box, politely declines and asks for a plate - what do ya need a whole ass box for one slice yknow?
One of the most recent times he comes in for a slice, the owner behind the counter INSISTS he put the pizza in a box. The friend of a friend and the owner go back and forth - “sure you don’t want a box?” “Yes, I’m sure” “it’s better in a box, here why do you take a box” “with all due respect, I just want a plate, I’m gonna throw the box away”.
The owner begrudgingly slaps the pizza on a plate, slides it passive aggressively to the guy, and says outright “I don’t think you should come in anymore”.
“Why?” Asks the friend of a friend.
The owner gets really heated in this moment and proclaims “You see that FLIMSY plate your pizza is on? I look like a fuckin asshole when you’re walkin outta here with a steaming hot piece of pizza on that tiny flimsy ass plate - other pizza places are gonna see you walking out of here and say ‘what’s this tiny plate? They don’t have boxes to keep the pizza nice and hot?’ And then I look like an asshole, so if you’re not gonna take a box, I don’t think you should come in anymore”.
The friend of a friend replies “okay, I’ll take the box”. Seeing how passionate the owner had just gotten.
Moral of the story OP, sometimes you just gotta take the box, and take your hot little pizza takes home instead of waving them around on your flimsy plate. You just look like an asshole.

It’s not supposed to be creative, he’s just upholding and honoring the raw ledge skater archetype. He’s just supposed to switch back tail and switch front crook tall ledges and so some nice nollie flatground stuff and he’s pretty much good. You really want to see Tiago doing hippie jumps or something? Let the man do his dignified street skating in peace

On the subject of bushings, soft bushings are dumb unless you’re incredibly light or making a strict cruiser setup. Hard bushings on super loose trucks is the ideal setup for actually skating well without looking like your trucks are completely cranked

I don't care about pants, wheel colors and truck brands and I'm a bad skateboarder ;D But at least I feel free for wearing the pants I want. You can be a 35 y/o dad wearing those pants (https://wear.jp/fon15/22194365/ or https://www.nex-llc2.com/?pid=165886651) and nobody will bat an eye. Is the skateboarding community really so restrictive or is it just a SLAP internal joke? I'm new here :'(
Both and neither. People forget what "banter" is. Coloured wheels look way better if it's a colour that you can get as a highlighter pen. I ride on asphalt parking lots so much I've def considered just getting black wheels

grown men in baggy pants…didn’t we all grew up?
It was cool in the 90s and early 2000s..and I get it when kids do it these days…but seeing someone in his 30s or older wearing these…i actually feel sorry for them
Why? Because they never stopped wearing them instead of being a trendy follower? Be who you want to be, dress how you want to dress and fuck the rest. Why are you so invested in how other people choose to dress? Why come?

Im a 33 skater-dad whos being going to the baggy route for something like 3-4 years, and the reason its cause its comfortable as fuck, I basically have an my uniform to skate,its some nike and adidas cargos plus whatever L o XL shirt I get and go. Thats what I skate and I dont care.
On the flip side, Im tired of seeing dudes on their girlfriends jeans, looks terrible and I know it feels worse, so why do they keep doing it?. I'd rather go baggy for sure.

Yeah I agree, baggy is comfortable. It’s that simple, I mean I don’t wear jnco’s and kikwear anymore but still baggy. I mean I’m not OutKast or nothing.

whoever first referred to what we do on skateboards as "tricks" did skateboarding a huge disservice. it trivializes the whole thing and makes the whole activity look silly and akin to a pogo stick or yo yo. Not sure what term would be better. "Maneuver" maybe? (that sounds stupid too).
This always kinda bothered to me, but it really sticks out like a sore thumb now that skateboarding is in the Olympics.
I can't disagree, and come to think of it in every day conversation pertaining to skating I don't think I hear anyone use the word much. Probably because we all know we are talking about tricks but still.
-
Spots with a short landing always kinda bother me in clips/videos. Why would you pick a rail/set for a trick just to be forced to stop after 20 feet because there is a wall coming up? That just seems to be lazy spot selection.
For me, the best feeling of skating is riding away from the trick you just landed and I think that also translates in footage when it is done properly.
I figured it was because no one had really skated it or there were more possibilities for nbd's on less skated rails. That's all I can think🤷♀️

Buying a different model of shoe every time seems crazy to me, how do you guys ever get anything done
I was always trying new models, vulc or cup, even slip ons, but at somepoint around 2013 I moved to one of the biggest cities in my country: spots everywhere, better weather, a huge local scene, a LOT of skating. I had to stop using vulc cause my feet would hurt daily after so much pushing out there with the dudes. VANS got forever erased from my shoe option list quickly.
Since then this is my method: Of any shoe I like the way skates/feels I'd try to get as much colors of it to skate (or the same one i dont care really) I'll even buy them on sale months even before actually skating them. I liked to skate the same shoe/board always, if possible.
Its been mostly corpo shoes and some DC'S since then, some memorable ones: NB#868: 7 pairs, Adidas sheltoe: 6 pairs, Nike Project BA: 4 Pairs, Adidas copa nationale: 4 pairs, Adidas Busenitz: 5 pairs, DC Kalis s 4 Pairs.
In between these periods without an stable model I've fallen in the struggle of skating a lot of shoes I finally dont like, whatever long gone and discontinued "core" brands model I'll find in the thrift store and some other non-skate shoes. Isn't an easy task to find a good model nowadays.
On the funny side, last year became a dad and now have a 3 month newborn, which meant my current skate shoes are the longest in use in my whole adult life, these ishods are still holding since april 2022 ;D and stopped buying the same 8.125 american-brand board cause prices are too damn high and our diapers never get discounts ;D

AH is the epitome of one type of skateboarding. Frog, Primitive and There (among others) epitomize other kinds. They’re all valid as far as I’m concerned.

Well how are they not?
The team skates everything - street, diy spots, old parks, new parks, hills etc, and they've always done this. They're not too good to put skate park footy in their vids or any shit like that, even if it's a street obstacle at a skatepark, which definitely makes them 'true skateboarding'.
They build sick DIY parks in their local communities and don't seem to gatekeep it from anybody (everyone i've talked to who has been to lower bobs has said that it was chill).
They take road trips with the crew which as far as I'm concerned is the sickest shit about skating and they do it on a budget, sleeping at skateparks like hobos.
A lot of the crew has held down full time jobs which is sick as fuck because they're not out there living a pampered 'pro-skater' life, they're working 40 hours a week and still ripping.
They put their homies in their vids and even give them boards, like the albino board.
They basically still have the skate ethics of your homie's company but they're actually one of the biggest skate brands in the USA. I don't care if some of the people in the crew have done some non-PC shit, they're just normal dudes.

I am not a Starbucks fan boy, and drink plenty of 1$ McDonald’s coffee, but they are not remotely the same quality beans. They have buying power and consistency for really good coffee, but I agree, as bad as McDonald’s in every other way.

I think it’s because it’s everywhere. Like you can miles in the OC without seeing any other option besides maybe gas stations or fast food. I think it’s the opposite of elitist- people who want you to know they’re coffee snobs will talk about some place no one has heard of.

yeah, full on lifestyle/streetwear brand at this point, maybe not necessarily "hypebeast" because i don't know how hyped their stuff is, i never see anyone wearing it. but i also don't leave the house. actually i think their merrell collab was pretty hyped though. i'm a sucker for parody tees/logo flips and they usually have some funny ones.

A lot of people who skate mini ramps nowadays have this style that basically looks like they're trying to be Tom Penny, super non-expressive, just clean and 'smooth'. It's fine if that's your natural style and obviously penny looked good doing it but it's pretty played out at this point and I would way rather see people be themselves and put some personal expression into their mini ramp skating. Like just because it's a mini ramp you don't have to pretend you're not interested in it.

'tuan should get a second chance
A la spanky
besides his past, his problem its having a small bag of tricks, yeah the style its still there but only he does its flip tricks down stuff, his ledge skills are limited and dont remember rail tricks of him since his heyday
spanly knew how reinvented himself and mixed all his abilities in the last years, tuan its still doing his stuff like 2009 till 2019 never happened

Thoughts on Nelly? People seem kind of divided on her here but I think she has dope style even if her level of tricks aren't mind blowing... As an aside how are people not sure if she's male or female? Because of her clothes? Always confuses me when I see speculation on that.

tuan had a few chances, didn't he? think he violated parole every time. if he's sober he could be an asset but tuan on crack or booze is kicking pregnant women in the stomach and smashing a guy's car windows w/ children inside. that's almost gator level behavior.

Lizard King is overhated on here, Lizard King rules.
He’s a super nice dude in person, like talking to kids adults, whoever like friends. Also he rips. I think because of his particular trick selection in parts, people don’t realize how proficient he is as an all around skater.

Yea, to me she looks like a cute tomboy so I dunno. My friend who usually has good takes on skating generally doesn't really dig her which surprised me, so I did a search here and found a little but now I'm just more curious what the guys here think about it.

Back lips on ledges should be way more popular, the switch version is one of the coolest tricks out there. Came of age in the Silas soty era when they were more popular so may just be my own biases though.

If the materials were better Dickies 874 would be the perfect skate pants. Baggier than "regular fit" jeans but don't look baggy while skating
Truck weight is relatively unimportant
I still prefer VX videos over widescreen HD, but HD with the VX aspect ratio is probably objectively the best format to film with. Keeps the spontaneity of a smaller video frame while retaining the good quality we're able to film with now.
Probably not a hot take but music can make or break a part no matter how good the skating is

They've always been in my rotation as well so I can see where you're coming from, but I've heard a lot of people say they don't like the way they feel. Not sure if they just tried them on without washing at all but you can't deny that polyester feels weird when you're used to wearing jeans all the time. 874's don't break in until 2-3 washes

Gotcha. In the break-in period the feel quite weird. But after that, they are pretty perfect. Good fit, can take a healthy dose of abuse.
Not much of a jeans wearer, so I can’t say anything about how those two pants compare. Carhartt simple pants feel nicer out of the box, but I don’t like the fit that much

The worst thing about Slap is when fuckers try to reprimand people for making new posts and not including them in the exact tab and location they would choose. For the most part, Slap veterans are the worst part of this thing.

Idk, the Beatles have a handful of good tracks, I liked Eleanor Rigby, Revolution, little help from my friends ( Joe Crockers verison was better) and few others.
But they also have some of the worst rock-pop of that era. Hello, Goodbye sounds like a song for kindergartners and I hate Come Together with a passion
I don't think I've ever put on the Beatles in any sort of group setting.

Completely agree with The Doors, halfway about the Beatles.
Another revered band that I have never understood the hype around or liked is Nirvana.
Same song structure, yelling the same line over and over at the end of almost every song. Bad lyrics, played-out to death and the quintessential go-to band / aesthetic for every rebellious teen that has lived since the 90's.

you can’t underestimate the value of putting a guitar in a kid’s hands. nirvana did that for a generation.

Most of Nirvana is easily dismissible, there isn't much on Nevermind I enjoy. Breed isn't too bad.
They're 100% overhyped, but I do like more of their weird, sludge-thrash-punk kind of songs. Milk It, Sifting, Aneurysm are pretty solid. I'm not sitting through a whole album of that shit tho.
Put on the Melvins, AIC, or Faith No More, and leave Nirvana behind. Each of those bands does Nirvana better than Nirvana.

874s fucking suck. If you don't have an ass flatter than a sheet of paper they get super tight super quick. That also ties into how much they shrink as you wash them.

In the next few years KR3W/skintight jeans are gonna have a huge comeback and I know I'm gonna hate it
yuto is gonna try psychedelics and have a spiritual awakening and mix up his skating a bit
kader is gonna sober up (at least somewhat) within the next few years and drop a part that will rock everybody's shit
dill is gonna sell FA/Hockey to VF Corp within the next decade

What's with California skaters always talking about getting Starbucks? Are people getting paid for this? Do they have a team? It seems like every story or behind-the-scenes clip starts out with getting Starbucks... Can't they just say getting coffee? It sounds so obnoxious or elitist or just fucking stupid to me. I don't know why but it really bothers me.
Which while I’m on the subject if anyone is in SD hit up Zumbar, that place is so good.
That makes sense. I live in a small town with 2 McDonald's, 3 Tim Horton's and 1 Starbucks.
I once waited in a 12-car drive-through line for 30 minutes to get my girlfriend some stupid fancy overpriced thing to surprise her at work with. Never again....
I work manufacturing and get a Trenta (30oz) cold brew black every morning at the same Starbucks and the people there be hooking me up with random extra drinks at least once a week. They have way less (early morning) staff turnover than DD, and I get hooked up.

If FA sticks around I can’t imagine it not being ran through bakerboys and Dill being much more hands off than he is now. He and neckface used to do blow off each others dicks at max fish for zines so I’m sure they’ll all mesh well.

I listened to Wu-Tang every day for years when I was young, wore a wu hoodie every single day my entire freshman year of hs, shit is unlistenable to me nowadays, enter the 36 chambers is one of the most overrated albums of all time, ghostface has some heaters (mighty healthy is still amazing) ob4cl2 was great (surgical gloves was great) but I can’t listen to liquid swords or anything any more it’s so fucking corny
Wu is one of the most overrated rap groups of all time, would much rather hear a chief keef song over a part than some fucking 90s rap I’m over it
I listened to 1000s of hours of boom bap, gangster etc 90s / mid 2000s rap but a few years ago I just stopped all together. Obviously can't relate to pretty much anything a bunch of 20 year olds talking shit are saying about life at my age, the content is pretty shallow at the end of the day, and when you see these guys in their 40s performing lyrics they wrote at like 18 it's just sad (mobb deep).
You can sort of see in their eyes that they know the shit they're saying is stupid and degenerate most of the time (concerning gangster rap). That said I do love groups like tribe and stuff still. They were on some other shit. Also was a big back packer in the day so exploring new emo rap without the shame now that it's mainstream is kinda nice.

Saying contemporary emo rap has deeper lyrical content than golden age hip hop is a wild take.

Christian Hosoi's style is massively underrated in the current era of skating, probably because it's been overshadowed by his personality. His contemporaries like Jeff Phillips and Neil Blender get way more attention from the core skate world.

That's DEFINITELY not what I said. Honestly I'd say emo rap is shallow too, but more relatable than cinematic lyrics generally. I appreciate the lyricism more than anything in 90s rap but I'm over other aspects of it I guess. Golden era was a great blend. I realize it's all more nuanced than my statement makes it out to be. I was sort of referencing mainstream rap mostly. Not underground etc that's different.

hmm, good point. But I think it's just difference of approach (if you're talking about 80's Hosoi). People back then kind of had that 80's surf-skate style that's a bit defunct now; plus not everyone does vert skating as much as something like pool ripping. He definitely looked the coolest, though. You could say that D-Gonz was someone who kept his influence out there when he was on his soty run.
I love love that part in Ed Templeton's epicly later'd where they talk about the euro contests that he swept. The most interesting to me is the generational differences between people who were more along the lines of Hosoi's era (like Oster), and his burgeoning era of street skating: @5:55

If ASICS actually makes an effort they’d overtake con’s or adidas for that 4th spot in corpo skate footwear. I’m not a fan of the logo but both those companies have gone so bare minimum in their shoe lines with the right team it wouldn’t be hard to get skaters on board. Walker Ryan just posted in em. So if you’re scooping up the actual talent that companies are letting go to the wayside like walker and dilo you could do a lot. . I guess con’s would probably be the first to go?

Adidas in fourth? Interesting take. What's your tier list?
All I know is that NB808 is the best skate shoe I've ever skated by just about every metric so I am skating them until they are discontinued.

i dont understand the no headphones rule slap made up
i dont wanna talk to people if im skating alone, i will cool guy everybody if they try to talk to me with headphones on bc its a clear sign i dont want to talk to anybody
ive been skating for so long i can usually tell when people are coming, so collisions are never an issue. also my headphones are on transparency mode so i can actually hear when people are coming. i respect lines for the ledge & 99% of the time if there is a conflict in line order, you usually use hand gestures or a nod to determine who goes first. it may be different for transition skaters, but those dudes dont even skate with headphones on ever

I mean I meant that for myself, if you want wear headphones believe me I'll avoid you for a couple reasons so we both win I guess. I enjoy the social and cultural aspects of skating and have zero issue limiting it if I just want to skate that day on my own. People usually get the hint if that's the case. That said 95% of the time I don't mind if someone starts sessioning with me but has good etiquette and is on a similar page. Guess I'm just not friends with any kooks. Or a magnet for them.

if you've really been skating so long you'd know the no headphones rule has been around forever, it's not some shit slap made up last week. headphones clips used to be a huge faux pas, it's only been in the last ~5 or so years that skating with headphones has even become remotely acceptable
i don't care if you have your headphones on transparency mode or if you think that collisions are never an issue (they're always an issue at a skatepark, regardless if you're wearing headphones or not), when you adding additional stimulus and dull your senses you become a risk to others at their expense. now, everyone else has to pay extra attention to you to compensate for you, because we operate under the assumption you have no awareness of your surroundings (and why shouldn't we?). unless your local park is like, a box in a tennis court that only three people skate at a time, it's selfish
if you don't wanna talk to anyone at the park then just don't talk to anyone at the park, i'm sure strangers aren't clamoring to chat you up when you roll up to the park alone. 90% of the time strangers approach me at the park it's to ask for wax or a tool or something minor anyhow, and it's easy enough to oblige without sparking a conversation
side note: biking with headphones sucks too

I think Cons have always made decent to good looking shoes and straddled the line between playing it safe and trying stuff out/collaborations. In my opinion, what Cons really has going for them is a great team. Erik Herrera and Louie are killing it right now, and for the amount of dudes they have on the quality is really high; Bobby DeKeyzer, Alexis Sablone, Jake Johnson, and Mike Anderson to name a few. I don't really see a single corny dude on there.
https://www.converse.com/c/skate (https://www.converse.com/c/skate)
And I think if you're Asics trying to break into the industry then the team and image, by extension, are gonna be the most important thing to consider; regardless of what the shoes look like, skate, etc. Etnies are super durable and well-made from my experience, but you don't really see the type of consumer you want picking up a pair because the only other dude wearing them is the local Santa Cruz flow 14 year old and their image is boring. If Asics can put together a cohesive team that's not just an amalgamation of industry left-behinds and whoever's not getting hooked up then maybe they have a shot at beating out a Cons or Adidas.

Corned beef for Easter? No ham? Is that for religious reasons? I’m breaking off pieces from my spiral ham right now, eating it cold dipped in horseradish mustard and it’s fucking delicious.

I listened to Wu-Tang every day for years when I was young, wore a wu hoodie every single day my entire freshman year of hs, shit is unlistenable to me nowadays, enter the 36 chambers is one of the most overrated albums of all time, ghostface has some heaters (mighty healthy is still amazing) ob4cl2 was great (surgical gloves was great) but I can’t listen to liquid swords or anything any more it’s so fucking corny
Wu is one of the most overrated rap groups of all time, would much rather hear a chief keef song over a part than some fucking 90s rap I’m over it
I listened to 1000s of hours of boom bap, gangster etc 90s / mid 2000s rap but a few years ago I just stopped all together. Obviously can't relate to pretty much anything a bunch of 20 year olds talking shit are saying about life at my age, the content is pretty shallow at the end of the day, and when you see these guys in their 40s performing lyrics they wrote at like 18 it's just sad (mobb deep).
You can sort of see in their eyes that they know the shit they're saying is stupid and degenerate most of the time (concerning gangster rap). That said I do love groups like tribe and stuff still. They were on some other shit. Also was a big back packer in the day so exploring new emo rap without the shame now that it's mainstream is kinda nice.
what an odd post. what are you doing listening to ANY rap hoping you can relate to it, and how is that criteria for whether something is good or not? also weird to single out mobb deep, prodigy has been dead for like 5 years and it’s not like they stopped making music in the 90s.
what emo rap do you like? i went on a deep dive on that stuff recently and found it way too earnest and uncomfortably relatable to my early 20s to listen to, give me street raps any day.

I am surprised how defensive folks get when they feel questioned about their meat diet. Eating meat is lame. Raising animals under conventional conditions just to kill them is lame. Meat production is a major threat to ecosystem functioning. That is not even a hot take. Yet, I sometimes find myself eating meat because I like the taste. I am lame, so are you. Accept your lameness and move on.

If you don’t like skating by yourself you are weak and deserve to get your setup forcibly donated to those kids in Uganda
Skating by yourself is definitely a major piece of progressing. No distractions, and not worrying about what anyone else is doing. For God's sake no headphones though.
i dont understand the no headphones rule slap made up
i dont wanna talk to people if im skating alone, i will cool guy everybody if they try to talk to me with headphones on bc its a clear sign i dont want to talk to anybody
ive been skating for so long i can usually tell when people are coming, so collisions are never an issue. also my headphones are on transparency mode so i can actually hear when people are coming. i respect lines for the ledge & 99% of the time if there is a conflict in line order, you usually use hand gestures or a nod to determine who goes first. it may be different for transition skaters, but those dudes dont even skate with headphones on ever
i don't care if you have your headphones on transparency mode or if you think that collisions are never an issue (they're always an issue at a skatepark, regardless if you're wearing headphones or not), when you adding additional stimulus and dull your senses you become a risk to others at their expense. now, everyone else has to pay extra attention to you to compensate for you, because we operate under the assumption you have no awareness of your surroundings (and why shouldn't we?). unless your local park is like, a box in a tennis court that only three people skate at a time, it's selfish
if you don't wanna talk to anyone at the park then just don't talk to anyone at the park, i'm sure strangers aren't clamoring to chat you up when you roll up to the park alone. 90% of the time strangers approach me at the park it's to ask for wax or a tool or something minor anyhow, and it's easy enough to oblige without sparking a conversation
side note: biking with headphones sucks too
Skateboarding is a thrilling activity that requires focus, balance, and coordination. While it can be tempting to listen to music or a podcast while skateboarding, doing so can be extremely dangerous and is not recommended.
The primary reason for this is that wearing headphones while skateboarding can significantly impair your situational awareness. Skateboarding involves navigating through a variety of obstacles, including pedestrians, cars, and other skaters. By wearing headphones, you're essentially blocking out a crucial sense that could alert you to potential hazards. This can lead to accidents and injuries, both for yourself and others around you.
Another reason why it's not a good idea to skateboard while wearing headphones is that it can prevent you from hearing important verbal cues from others. Skateboarding is often a social activity, and other skaters or onlookers may need to communicate with you about potential hazards or upcoming obstacles. If you're wearing headphones, you may not be able to hear these important cues and could be at greater risk of accidents.
Finally, wearing headphones while skateboarding can also be a distraction. Skateboarding requires a high level of focus and concentration, and any distraction can increase the risk of falls and injuries. Listening to music or other audio can be enjoyable, but it can also be a significant distraction that could lead to accidents.
In conclusion, while it may be tempting to listen to music or other audio while skateboarding, it's not a good idea. Wearing headphones while skateboarding can impair your situational awareness, prevent you from hearing important verbal cues, and be a distraction. For your safety and the safety of others around you, it's best to avoid wearing headphones while skateboarding and focus on the task at hand.

Everyone knows that modern animal agriculture is a world historical sin. Faced with that, there are a lot of people who have no other reaction other than to double-down and insist that "no, actually it's fucking based, dude." Also there have been fewer times in American popular culture more lame than the "epic bacon" era.

I've been vegetarian for 10+ years now and I'd say within the last few years (as plant based diets have become increasingly popular) I've had this question posed to me many times. Assuming you aren't trolling, I recommend doing it incrementally. Like slowly removing the red meats and replacing them with them with fish/seafood and turkey. As time goes on, you can start replacing the meats with high protein veggies and other plant based meat alternatives. The quality of plant based meat alternatives have improved significantly since I first went vegetarian.
Back then it was mostly Boca and Tofurkey dominating the market, but now there are entire sections devoted to different plant based meat options. Like with anything else, some are better than others in terms of taste and ingredient qualities. I'm partial to jackfruit and tofu because they have a neutral flavor which allows you to get creative in terms of how to flavor it. I tend to fry them up and add a curry sauce that I pick up from Sprouts.

Get some chickens. They're easy to look after and you get eggs. Then just make whatever you'd normally make but instead of meat use an egg. And/Or some mushrooms.

Air fryer sweet potatoes cubed or cut into fries are probably what I eat the most of. We use them in sushi, middle eastern food, tacos, curry, and they never get old. Plus I heard that they are the food that the longest living cultures on earth eat the most of, so that is cool too. They are like the meat of my vegetarian diet

Geographic and temporal isolation no longer exist, nor do the resultant parallel and divergent development that resulted in local or regional scenes with a distinct look or feel. Paradoxically, there’s more diversity in skating, which is cool, but the diversity isn’t as deep or localized.
There’s also a very real possibility that I’m just too old and can’t appreciate the nuance of what the kids are doing.

I wonder if the argument is about how the ubiquity of internet yields homogenized "culture". Sometimes it seems as if the new generations all use the same lingo and slang, are mostly into the same things and have the same senses of humor. While it could be argued that so many new "channels" of information (apps, social media, streaming platforms, etc.) give people much more eclectic tastes, I would argue that it makes it too easy for people to find new interests and hobbies.
For example, if you had ever come across Jean-Michel Basquait's art in the early 2000's and aughts, you had to go to a legit Art Book shop to see his stuff. That was nearly the only way to see his art unless you're lucky enough to live somewhere with a gallery that had some of his work. Back then you had to do real research to find what you were looking for. Nowadays every Tom Dick and Harry in town has a Basquiat shirt, and typically they aren't even aware of who he was.
So it's easier to be into something in a shallow / fake way now more than ever. Kids can see an influencer on Instagram with a Ramones t-shirt sold in Zara or some bullshit, with the link to buy the shirt in their bio, and purchase that shirt with one click. No knowledge or history or research necessary, just an easy click away. Without having to know anything about the Ramones (in this particular example), I would argue that the kid who clicked the link to purchase the shirt is a bit of a poser and only into the shirt for the aesthetics. Which to me, is shallow. Easier to be a poser now more than ever.
Another aspect of this argument I would like to present is how these days, brands are more visible and responsive than ever before. This has many implications but it also means that brands can and do bite each other's style and steal each other's shit all of the time. Even happens in skateboarding, think of all the board brands and there are only a few that stick out. If someone does something innovative and new, other brands follow suit almost immediately. The reason I think this is a new phenomenon is that in the past, brands couldn't really see what each other were doing and if they could, it'd have to be through spying or something covert. Nowadays just look at a new brand's Instagram and say, "Hey, I wanna be like this brand. Let's start making this".

Wienie did a pretty good essay expanding on it. I mean, influencers will do influence and skate media has always been that. I will say that current influencing is far more calculated, curated and sophisticated than previously.
One big point that weinerboy didn’t make that I feel should be pointed out is the constant, immediate, nature of the insta era. BITD, the magazines and videos, demos/contests if you were lucky, were ubiquitous; we all saw the same shit. However, things were very periodical in nature, meaning you took what you saw and ran with it until the next video or mag or whatever came out. In that interval different scenes or crews went different directions with things. Now, that bit of time to choose your own adventure is gone.

I wouldn't give a shit if not for her wacky amount of entitlement and strobeck's behavior in the comments. She's "pro", she's model hot she's... Everythingggggg because strobeck says so.
I disagree. The culture is clearly pushing back on the pro thing.

Not sure, if a couple of comments on a insta-clip constitutes as „the culture pushing back“
I think her skating and persona are whack, but in the last months the move of making her pro, really grew on me, just because so many people take this so seriously and are still pissed off.

To be honest. I’ve seen worse. And that „Beatrice doesn’t deserve to be pro“ horse has been beat to death so many times.
One thing though - they better get through with hooking the guard up with some supreme stuff. Not doing so, would be kook behavior. The rest - I couldn’t care less. At least it wasn’t 50 front shuv :D

guard has more business being pro than Beatrice and I can't believe you called her a dead horse but it is strangely apt.

Depends what the spot is. If you've put in the work, time and/or money into building, maintaining or finding something I can see why you'd be hesitant about sharing.

Gatekeeping can be necessary for spot preservation and needs addressed on a case by case basis. Most people that I’ve heard say this is kook behavior usually dont have spots to share themselves but without fail want a pin to something they saw in a video. Spothunters can be touchy about this with good reason. Maybe if those who dislike gatekeeping so much started spothunting more they’d find some spots themselves to share with the public (or gatekeep).

With all the talent coming up in skateparks, it’s only a matter of time before a skater with serious parkour abilities - and the big impact skillset of Jaws, Joslin or Pine - maximizes off-the-board roaming aspects of freerunning and becomes a social media phenomenon - while presenting an affront to the core skate community by, well… being themselves.

Legacy is important but not every skateboarder has to be a skate historian. It's reasonable to like a team based on who currently skates for them and not necessarily who used to / is out of their prime. Lots of teams / pros have fell off. Dill is a kook and I don't care about his skating either tbh.
AVE I get the admiration for but his skating isn't really my cup of tea personally. Also, forgive me old heads but do you actually skate a board brand just because of who used to be on the team?
I like and appreciate 90s and 2000s skating and even like some of it more than the current stuff, I'm very into Tom Penny like anyone but I wouldn't buy a flip board in 2023 because of what he did in the 90s, no disrespect to the legend.

Liking AVE’s skating is non-negotiable. You either dig it or you turn in your board and skater badge to the nearest shop.

AVE is almost 45 and still skate like a champ
Buying his board in 2023 is half nostalgia-respect for what he did / half respect for what he is currently doing

No one that sucks at skating says AVE is their favorite skater.
to be fair, the only people that remember ave's skating are older dudes & those dudes are pure skate rats that'll never stop skating and are pretty good bc they skate so much
i highly doubt you could find a sub 18 year old who has watched an ave part
? Children love FA, of course they’ve seen AVE parts.
im 26, love FA/Hockey & dudes only a few years younger than me have never seen AVE parts. On the same note, i've never seen a Gino Ianucci or Jason Dill part
I'm in the south right now, so it may vary in different parts of the US - so take my words with a grain of salt
It kinda blows my mind that you like skateboarding enough to post about every single detail of it with strangers on the internet, but not enough to put a name into a youtube search bar and educate yourself on the skaters that literally built the brand you say you love.
Go watch AVEs Vans part, Dills skatemore part, then Gino in Yeah Right.
i dont like FA for ave & dill
i like FA/Hockey only for the skaters my age - k rod, nik stain, sean & sage etc
i watched segments of Dill's/ave's parts as per your request and i could give less fucks. i hate their music and could care less about their legacy that you imply is important
i dont feel the need to "educate myself" further on the skaters who built a brand when theyre not even the reason i like the brand
this is the way

This is some weird Idiocracy - I’ll bet you 100 dollars in younger than you n I grew up watching skating of all eras and styles , you really should too it’s like with music or painting - if you only look at a small time frame and group for inspiration your just setting your self up to look like an idiot on and off board. You say you hate their music but you love current FA - are movie scores your preferred genre to listen too? Obviously not - I think you j a shallow poser - the people you like on FA would look down on you for your world views.

With all the talent coming up in skateparks, it’s only a matter of time before a skater with serious parkour abilities - and the big impact skillset of Jaws, Joslin or Pine - maximizes off-the-board roaming aspects of freerunning and becomes a social media phenomenon - while presenting an affront to the core skate community by, well… being themselves.

With how easy it is to access old skate videos of every kind for free, it’s sort of incumbent upon the viewer to explain why they don’t like something if it’s not for them in conversation - at least provide a solid reason - otherwise one could be seen as unappreciative, or worse, obtuse for looking upon these abundant gifts around you with scorn.

I'm vehemently opposed to what you're saying here but I can't help but respect the fact that you did the due diligence. I can't speak for certainty for those outside my friend group, but from what I noticed I think as skateboarding grows and ages there's proportionally less younger skaters giving credence to its history and legacy figures. Like I get it, not everyone is as massive a nerd, but there's so much good skating having occurred over the past couple decades that a lot of people simply don't bother with. I think also that learning to appreciate the history of how something came to be is crucial to developing a deeper love for it. Like watching Dill's part in Photo and appreciating it not only by itself but in context of the time and place it came out at gives me more nerd enthusiasm than anything I can do at the skatepark.

Looking back is something done less and less with every generation even outside of skateboarding. When we were kids we'd watch star wars all the time even tho it was 25 years old. Then the next gen would just watch it's 00s movies and now kids don't even look back to the more recent films because there's new shows every other week.
Same shit with skating no time to look up the VHS hits when there's new clips on insta every minute

Saw something that said humans have the same attention span as goldfish now, but I’d have to double check to verify. Either way, chances of me finding something like girl’s goldfish video on my own is pretty slim in this age because, like you said, new clips every minute so lots of history gets buried. I was given a mini tv with a vhs player in it and some old videos a few years ago by someone who cared. Really broadened my scope of things and didn’t make me feel less than for not knowing.

I did and still do.
For some of us it's interesting, even entertaining to look back on the roots and history of the thing you love.
Get perspective on how much has changed, see different styles etc
That and I just think they're fun to watch.
Do you think it's wack that people still talk about Mohammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Ayrton Senna, Jackie Robinson etc?
Or is it just skateboarding where we need to discard or even shit on our trailblazers of yesteryear?
Are you not a fan of history in general? Like if someone asked you to watch a documentary about the Attila the Hun would you be like "why should I give a fuck about that dusty old shit, motherfucker riding horses and shit wasn't even no fuckin electricity. Fuck that shit."

Definitely not. I distinctly remember laughing with my little crew at the old men carving down the ditches in Albuquerque while we all stood in a 10 square foot spot practicing our pressure flips. That shit has come back to haunt me a bit, but then I remember we were stupid fucking kids and stop caring about what stupid fucking kids think of me.

That's fine but I think it's equally as naive to assume that no young skaters would be interested in skate history.
Either way, in my opinion, if someone only acknowledges the newest, coolest trends, then they're on some hipster poser shit.

We only have a limited amount of time on this earth and inside that an even further limited amount of time to spend nerding out on skateboarding, assuming you're an adult with a job and maybe a serious gf/wife and kids. I know which classic skaters I enjoy watching and maybe if I get bored one day I'll watch a Jason Dill part or something but until then I'm just going to watch skating that gets me stoked and spend most of the limited free time I do have actually skating.
Past the surface of the classic vids there's also just sooo much history from the 90s/early 2000s that it's like, fuck, where do you even start? And how much of it is going to be worth watching, and how much of it is going to be the forgettable Riley Hawks of that era?
Idk that's just my opinion, I'm all for knowing a bit of skate history but if you don't care then fuck it, it's your life and you're still just as much of a skater as the next guy

Thanks for the opportunity to nerd out. Alexander the Great, the second Punic War, the fall of the Roman Republic, the Peloponnesian War, the French Revolution, both world wars, the Cold War.
As far as skating goes, I feel like you owe it to yourself to at least check out the frequently-cited classics: Welcome to Hell, Trilogy, Photosynthesis, Video Days, Mouse, Tim and Henry’s, Questionable, EE3… I’m sure there are some big ones I’m forgetting.
My personal favorite, maybe not the most revolutionary, is Asian Goddess.

With the exception of WW2, I only have a basic knowledge of the wars/time periods which you listed. Do you have any favorite books on those historical topics which you can recommend? Since you were the one that recommended Blood Meridian I'm pretty open to anything you have to offer. I'm actually reading All The Pretty Horses now too.

Saying the N word helped Morgan Wallen’s career way more than it hurt it. He was popular before, but his not-so-subtle racist dog whistle catapulted him to a previously unimaginable level of fame and success.

Pro skating is 50 percent talent, 50 percent personality. So many anonymous talented dudes out there would pop out if they were slightly more charismatic and outgoing. Fascinating to see how good the real pros are at connecting with people in person. I think that skillset is easily half the battle.

I can see this happening too, although I don't know and can't guess an alternative. I have noticed this, if it has any connection at all... Has anyone else noticed this...
I have always loved thrifting and it's always a fairly successful endeavor. But in the last 3-6 months or so, it seems like any thrift store I go to is always cleaned out. Like hardly any product. I have noticed similar things in stores like CVS or Target... seems like they have much less product available.
Are companies selling less? Or are people all trying to save money and shopping at thrift stores more often? What do we think, Slapsters?
-
Oh boy, now you’re speaking my language. I’ve been an avid thrifter my entire life, the Sally Ann was my happy place, my hometown had a chain of its own used clothing stores, that shit is in my blood. All that has changed since Covid.
In addition to most places axing their fitting rooms and not offering refunds, only exchanges, which is morally fucking despicable imo.. VV and Sally Ann have raised their prices an astronomical amount and their selection is now literal garbage. The cheaper local spots are so picked through it’s not even worth going. Pandemic-related corporate greed, inflation, supply chain issues, and resellers have ruined the entire experience.
I’m extremely fortunate that I’ve since discovered a local “auction” Facebook page, where you can bid on and win clothes/shoes for a fraction of what you’d pay at thrift stores. I’ve gotten so much good shit for so cheap. I’m sure that’ll get blown out eventually too but hopefully not.

Skateboarding (and consumerist youth culture in general) is about to fall off a cliff
Agreed. There are a lot of things which became incredibly common and normal during the last twenty years of effective zero interest rates are not going to survive the money spigit being suddenly turned off.

Not disagreeing, but what do you see those things being replaced by?
I can see this happening too, although I don't know and can't guess an alternative. I have noticed this, if it has any connection at all... Has anyone else noticed this...
I have always loved thrifting and it's always a fairly successful endeavor. But in the last 3-6 months or so, it seems like any thrift store I go to is always cleaned out. Like hardly any product. I have noticed similar things in stores like CVS or Target... seems like they have much less product available.
Are companies selling less? Or are people all trying to save money and shopping at thrift stores more often? What do we think, Slapsters?
Some people who don't want a regular job go to thrift stores then flip it online for way more money.

Or the bigger hussle of getting a job at the thrift store and taking all the best stuff for yourself and selling it privately

What Fos said on Nine Club is super true- there’s a lot of people looking for some unique expression with their boards. Obviously some people gravitate to the standards, but products like the Eggzilla or short wheelbases or what have you, that cater to the extremes, seem to find a bigger audience these days.

Or even the much bigger hustle of being on the dole and "volunteering" at the sorting centre before the clothes even get to the op shop and getting literal tonnes of clothes for almost free - then selling it privately.
