Was that the guy from odd future?

To be able to back three like that... fuckin Dill is the man. The fact that he clipped on that ollie made it 10x sicker.

god damn that back 3 was good

Site is contradictory to your statement. Using site as proof, you therefore are grossly incorrect.
Video was great, and only :50.

I usually am a fan of Dill, but something in the way he looks nowadays makes him look like he is about to shit himself style-wise.

For the most part, I keep my opinions of the brand and my opinions of the people who buy their stuff separate. I think Nike is a pretty cool brand, but as you could guess, I don't think very highly of people who have pictures of themselves licking their sb's hahah

So who's that little kid who skates like a man?

Tyshawn Jones, according to his youtube channel, he's 13 but could be older now

It's his butt-hugger pants
Yes, I was looking at his butt <3

That was a cool little clip, but Supreme is whaaaaack.

I can understand why some people dislike dill's skating, but that back three is hateproof.

I can't see the validity in harshing supreme so bad but going gaga over the next HUF slip-on. it's not like supreme didn't start out as a skateshop, and to claim that they have ownership over who buys their clothes is plain silly. their hardgoods are seriously the best priced in their respective new york area, next to DQM I suppose. you take a chance of getting vibed either way.

I love Dill, but I do dislike Supreme. Charging over $200 for a pair of pants at a "skateshop" is regular.

The scoop in the 6th and 7th frame is rad. Going to go out and try that after work.

Just saw the video 10 minutes ago, wanted to watch it again. Now it's "private" :-X

that video was rad. so i'm guessing that supreme is a go to for any ofwgkta fan down there? i honestly don't think i've ever seen any of their stuff in person.

Why?
Alot of people who were supreme fucking suck, but the brand itself seems sick

The older link went down for some reason,i see that Strobeck reposted it on his youtube page...

If I could charge people $200 for a pair of pants, I would...
-
absolutely zero pivot in that back 3.
And I don't really know anything about Supreme, but I always just saw it as another brand that people jump on and rep for no reason other than other people are doing it.

who's that tyshawn kid? he seems pretty young and already has some good style to him.

I can't badmouth Supreme when they keep putting out clips of Dill skating in NYC......

Well, this has sure never been done before. Jason for days but this "I want my clip to artsy" is going on my nerves!!!!11

He's 13. hasn't been skating for a full three years yet he going somewhere.

If the owners and staff at Supreme are no longer vibing 99% of people that enter the store with coldness and barely masked disdain, they have completely reneged on the brand's ethos.
-
clip was sick. then again anything with dill in it is sick. then again again anything fat bill makes is sick. and to add to the supreme debate, i dig supreme as a company and i like some of their stuff but the majority of the people who buy supreme shit pile drive that companies name into the ground by being complete faggots about it. i own one supreme tee and i barely wear it anymore
oh and, back 3 sig'd
-
The owner isnt even a skater. Hes just some streetwear guy that saw that skateboarding was a thing and made it happen. If he did what he did now instead of 93 people would be like, "fuck that guy." so whatever. all the brand worship seems really silly to me. Especially since this clip is the first legit clip ive seen out of supreme in years. Its funny though because mere association with supreme makes certain riders seem more legit even though the brand is anything but.

False. Supreme has always been skater owned and operated. Geo Moya started that shit with other OG's back in 94.
Supreme NYC has always been in its same location. That area used to be much different. If you know anything about
New York in the 90's you can relate to that. Also, it's not Supreme that changed, it's the people that moved into those
areas that changed. The hipsters, punks, street wear kids, kooks, homosexuals, models, tourists and fuckin whoevever.
It's the new crowd that is coming in because New York has changed completely. The store never changed. Supreme in the 90's WAS the one of the only joint to get the newest Zoo deck or what has you. Now days there one of the only store in NYC that
carries underground brands like Palace, Iron Claw, Torro, Hopps, Traffic, etc...Charles Lamb who has been in the NYC skate scene
still works there almost every day. Their board and everything skate related is regular priced it's just the Supreme clothing line that is expensive which is only made in the area. (Autumn shut down, DQM changed is NOT legit anymore because Dave had court issues and actually started a new shop called Dave's Wear House. KCDC bring in way to many surfers and changed there location to another part of Hipsterburg under a surf shop actually. Homage is legit but is a hike if you are in Manhattan due to it's deep location in Brooklyn. ).. Supreme was also one of the only shops that could hook up dudes like Andre Page, Danny Supa, Ryan Hickey, Harold Hunter, Jeff Pang, Keenan Milton, Jason Dill, Anthony Correa, Kieth Hufnagel, Mike and QuimCardona, Chris and Jones Keefe, Peter Bici, Spencer Fujimoto, Alex Corporan, Loki, Hamilton Harris, Vinnie Ponte, Sean Kelling, ,Rodney Torres, Billy Waldman and many other. Supreme always showed mad love. Nobody would be hating on them if they didn't have so much money. That also goes backto the location. Broadway and Lafayette are some of the busiest streets in NY these days, there is mad foot traffic around there and a diverse variety of it. Do you really think back in 1994 they thought they would blow up like this? forget about it! It's like a blessing to them. Just thought Id put that out there.

Wow. False. James jebbia is the owner not geo moya. He just works there. This is how it actually went down:
"but we did good in that environment . . . It was really a different time. I had the St?ssy store right here on Prince Street, but Sean St?ssy, the designer, didn?t know whether he was going to do it for that long. He?d made a ton of money, and then I think he decided to retire. So I thought, Shit, I?d better be doing something else, too, because I don?t want to count on this. I?d always loved what went on in skateboarding. I?d never skated myself, but I loved the graphics?I really liked the rebelliousness of it. And a lot of kids who worked for me skated, but it seemed to me that there were no skate shops around. So I was like, ?Okay, cool, maybe I?ll do a skate shop.? It cost me, like, $12,000 to open the store. Rent was two grand. It was like, ?Hey, if we do five grand a week, then great!? We didn?t really do any business at first, but we did okay. I really liked all of the hard goods?the decks, the wheels, the trucks."
sounds like lil wayne but without the noteriety.
Its america. Geo can say whatever he wants. But that quote up there is the actual truth.
Heres the whole interview also some insight on why they keep the production so limited:
http://www.interviewmagazine.com/fashion/james-jebbia-is-supreme/#_ (http://www.interviewmagazine.com/fashion/james-jebbia-is-supreme/#_)
Also theres 4 other boroughs with sick skateshops. Mosaic is one of them. Manhattan is an island unto itself and I mean island in every sense of the word. Their influence doesnt produce intresting skateboarding. Maybe in the 90s it really was this great thing. Even in the early 00s. But now it just homogenizes the experience so its easier to sell. Having to follow anything they do just because you live in new york is ridiculous. Its had its good influences. Lessons learned. But it just shouldnt be that important anymore. Skateboarding needs to move on from this company.

so adorable, the kid dresses like tyler the creator!
EDIT: hope that doesn't come off like im dissing a ten year old, im not. When I was young my heroes were no better.

as far as to who actually "owns" Supreme I think the link that was shared settles that BUT, if it has changed owners or something like that i cant speak on it.
what I can speak on is the fact the Homage is not 'deep' into Brooklyn as was stated earlier in this thread. I live in downtown Manhattan and it takes me 15 minutes to get to Homage (A/C to Jay ST to the F 1 stop to Bergen). The shop is literally right off the F/G lines Bergen st. stop. Its 3 stops from E. Broadway F stop from Manhattan so, not so bad.
-
whats up with that shop not too far from supreme, its called wampum? i stopped in when i was visiting, it seemed alright.
-
do the people in NY supreme get told to be rude as fuck and dress like they don't skate? especially the bald white guy, i mean come on.

you are either incredibly stupid, OR i love your sarcastic remark. Anyway if you are stupid, Supreme
is a regular skate shop. A lot of underground brands plus all your regular corporate ones. All that is a price you would
find at any skate shop with boards, wheels, bearings, hardware, shoes, dildos, etc. They do make
they're own clothing like next door or some shit. It's all USA made fabric and crafted. Thus "Supreme"
BRAND clothing being so expensive. They got like 30 other clothing brands in there too, so don't get it twisted.

Ah they actually make quality clothes. I thought it might just be a popular brand with unoriginal overpriced crap.

Cost is usually lower when there's no need for transportation in between production and consumption

Or higher when not made in Asia.
