Life Splicing No. 006: John Fitzgerald (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LofTFYVdRE#ws)
-
Sick.
Fits good on AWS
-
mental! Chicken oriental.
-
this goofy-lookin beast just came through with the heater.
skatin like a demon out there.
Fitz, i see you.
-
Boardslides on kinked rails scare the shit out of me.
-
Forrest was right, he didn't do a single flip trick.
Just kidding, that was rad.
-
WALL CRAWLER SPIDERMAN LEVEL :o
-
that frontboard on the curved rail was gnarly
-
Damn that was gnarly! Filming and editing always on point! Psyched!!!
-
:o
-
so sick.
that noise when the tail snapped at the end was cool sounding.
-
alien workshop is one of the most legit companies out right now
-
So as awesome as John Fitzgerald's part was, who else got stoked on Jake Johnson's wallride?
-
Halfcab 50-50 on the Stanford hubba. That's some raw power.

That thing is pretty intimidating, just a 5050 is gnarly.

I feel like a dick but I was expecting more, liked his pawnshop part better.

i feel the opposite. I never was really impressed with this dude and was kinda bummed he was on AWS. This changed my mind though, super gnarly
-
wow.

this was by far the best thing I could have watched at 6am

He did it the hard way, too. Don't see that often. That whole clip was gnarly.

The editing and the filming are doing most of the heavy lifting. Those last two tricks are incredible but i just dont see what makes him worth putting on workshop. Hes doing too many trendy tricks.

What would you consider a trendy trick?

I would also like to know what tricks you consider trendy in that part?

The little slappy to start his line, the 180 (halfcab) the hard way, the crappy rail combo that doesnt look good, ollieing over the back of the rail into the grind. I mean, he skates some big shit that looks sick but then hes got all those filler lines and then the trendy tricks. And then theres his whole workwear uniform that hes suddenly rocking. Its a bit much. He could be on foundation or something and that would make sense but not really workshop.
The workshop editing and the filming really bring it all together more than fitzgerald does. The filming on that first pool line is sick tho. Hes on the team, good for him, but nothing he does screams "legend in the making"
-
Putting your hand on your knee while pushing really bothers me. Besides that, some sick stuff.
-
What a great way to start off 2013.

The wallride-boardslide was great but I don't understand the hype around this dude. Maybe it's the 90s vibe he puts off. They should have put Nick Boserio on before him.

If you watch one in a million again, he rocks plain tees and dickies the whole time. I don't think any of that can be called "filler" either.

goddamn that was great

Yeah you're right skaters these days be doing too many alley oop half-cab 5050's on gargantuan hubbas these days.
-
favourite video of the year so far..
Seriously though this will be repeated throughout the year
-
Yeah, he sick on a skateboard.
But I think he'll have to end his career soon due to fucked up feet from skating in those jacked vans skate hi's.

Skating truck racks is a trend worth starting.

he has original style and is super gnarly, is why he's on alien workshop
ill agree with you on the board to feeble though
-
good to see someone finally grind the forum ledges in barcelona! that shit is rough!
-
meh, it defiantly meets the status quo of all the current trends of skateboarding. meh
-
workshop edits are the best. and jake johnson is making a career out of the wallride, and im perfectly ok with it
-
I feel like a dick but I was expecting more, liked his pawnshop part better.
I'm with you, it kinda feels like every footage I see of him is the same. A couple of ollie over rails to grinds, boardslide to whatevers, and half cabs the hard way onto some big shit. He's gnarly though, that first grinder was fucked up.
-
That was so rad. Everything about his skating is so powerful. I feel like his style got a little better too.
And Benny Maglinao killed it on the filming/editing. HD done right.
-
this makes me happy, very happy.
-

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Editing on this and the cinematographer project for example gets me so hyped
-
whoa. thought nothing of this dude, but this just made me a fan.

WILD POWER - FORREST EDWARDS - FULL PART (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTJtmuEsNTo#)
Not hating on John, but it is kinda weird to watch these parts back to back and think how Forrest is unsponsored and this was more or less Johns intro to Alien Workshop. I don't like to make things into competitions, but the homie video part was way better than the giant company part. Skating-wise, anyway.
-
That was fucking amazing, raw fucking power. He reminds me of Brian Anderson a lot. I know a lot of you guys are still butt hurt that Forest didn't win, but lets face it had Forest skated everything he would have won, he choose to limit himself and lost the contest, stop being mad at John for being man enough to skate everything!!
-
your telling me a guy that can 360 flip 50-50 big rails cant try something on tranny

I'm only saying this to play devils advocate, I think Johns skating is sick.
But I don't really care who won OIAM. It was a contest, and there had to be a winner, so they chose one. But, they will be compared since they both got noticed through it, and seeing John get so hooked up while forrest is just flow (I think?) is pretty weird. Forrest crushed this year, arguably harder than john did.
And if by "skate everything" you mean handrails and a little transition, I guess he does skate everything. But Johns skateboarding is pretty fucking one sided, you can't argue against that. Forrests skating is kinda one sided, too, but he's got a way deeper bag of tricks, so it seems less repetitive.
-
I see where people are coming from on the trend aspect, but I don't mind this trend. Gnarly grinds and slides speak to me as someone who was largely incapable of flipping their board much on anything but flat. Sort of reminds me of Welcome To Hell and a little Eastern Exposure. Not bad things at all.
-
So amazing... Although BA cannot be replicated I can totally see the similarities. Cant wait for the Vans video!
I think with so many companies we all hope for them to replicate the past. Girl/Mouse, Real/ real to reel, Zoo/ Mixtape. With AWS we really get that old timecode feel for the new ages.
-

I am saying he choose not to, acted like an arrogant prick and lost the contest. He could have easily won had he skated every spot they went to, remember he choose not to!
-
The 90s are in and I'm just fine with that.

You're so blinded by you own hypocrisy that I'm surprised you were even able to type that.

Old Ed/BA syle skateboarding on the Workshop.

I for one am just fucking stoked to see some legitimate dialogue going on these boards.
* With the half cab f/s 50-50, I feel like the alley-oop aspect does make all the difference. Even a half cab b/s 50-50 is still a good-looking combination of two strong tricks and always will be, but the lil legacy of Grant Taylor resurrecting that trick in Mindfield is still pretty out of hand with the chino pant guys even four years later. I don't know if it's cornier to be biting Grant if you ride for Tum Yeto but would kind of obviously rather be on Alien, or to actually be on Alien and be borrowing from your team mate as the new guy (Boserio, Fitzgerald). And then there's being pro on a DNA team like Daryl Angel and Mikey Taylor, and following leads from younger dudes on your own team who most likely don't even like you.
* It's a personal preference thing, but I back the boardslide-feeble, both for the "Safeway curb" legacy thing that the Thrasher caption noted, and for the fact that Fitzgerald actually split the grind times pretty evenly and dug into that feeble grind; usually dudes are just throwing in a little cute feeble touch at the end.
* I agree with the Sheffey nosegrind. Again, like a half cab 50-50, if you can isolate that trick from the times that its being done in it's a sick trick, but now is not the time. At the least, it shouldn't have been included as a banger. Grant's trick from Mindfield, AVE's trick from Mindfield, Dill's f/s curb slappy from Mindfield, a vicious slam trying to do a Lennie Kirk grind � knock it off, John. You're on the team.
* I like and I don't like this dude's heavy BA influence. Reintroducing BA's Modus boardslide psycho hubba with a good f/s 5-0, doing a line with BA's signature ledge f/s fakie nosegrind 180, overall style � the push, physical appearance, and even the way he positions his weight on certain basic tricks like feeble grinds and frontside tails..I don't know, he's probably not fully conscious that he's doing it, and he actually does it pretty well, but even if BA himself is moving on, I don't know if it's right that we get a replacement.
* Skating motor vehicles has always, and will always, rule.
* Ollieing out of that first 50-50 was nice.
* That tall f/s 50-50 drop to 5-0 180 was sick. Just some really radical dumb, caveman shit that you would never expect.
* Skating that last rail, as opposed to going the normal route with a trick over it, and then doing something as simple and subtley weird as a long half cab boardslide was genius.
* I like this dude, but like a lot of ams I think that he just needs to drop his influences more and find his own voice. I feel like Kevin Terpening has actually done a good job of that; maybe he's gone slightly overboard with them, but reinventing both the bean plant and the straight no comply, and that one has always been right in front of everyone's face, is some pro-level insight. The rest of his skating is raw enough to balances it out and avoid getting too gimmicky.
* The workwear thing is true, but I'd at least say that he and his crew do it slightly more naturally than some of those slick motherfuckers on HUF, for instance. Or "corny-ass Eli Reed", even more so. But did any of you guys see that recent photo of the Alien dudes at a bowling alley? Jesus Christ, come on. Workwear does actually make a lot of practical sense for skateboarding, but it's just too inauthentic with most of these dudes. Stop being romantic: you are not your grandfathers and you never will be, and you shouldn't want to be (those guys were assholes). I guess that in a different way it was still slightly inauthentic when Ryan Wilburn or whoever was doing it, but still. At least Peabody actually works construction. Ryan Spencer and Elijah Berle are definitely not bringing it.
* Lastly, I like Forrest, but for the record 360 flip 50-50s, or 5-0s for that matter, are close to as gay as it gets. Maybe he's slightly too young to understand why, but whatever. Young guys: pop shoves to grinds, and by extension 360 flips, are only fabo if brought to your nose. Impossible 50-50s are okay as trick selection because those are two traditionally raw dog tricks, even if Dylan's gonna be doing them.

Putting your hand on your knee while pushing really bothers me. Besides that, some sick stuff.
yeah, doing stuff that increases your pushing power and gives extra speed totally sucks.
fuck you, dummy.

I love work wear, anyone who knows me knows I have been wearing Dickies, Ben Davis, Red Kap, Levi's for years, will still wear them when the flock goes to the next trend.

Agreed -- Mindfield (which I mostly liked) had a "this is how an Alien video is supposed to look, right?" kind of feel. These recent edits are like a inspired continuation of the old videos' tradition instead of just a straight up homage.

You're overthinking it. Can we just call this a really good part and walk away?

quoting this so it won't be deleted, one of the funniest and worst posts in a while.
I didn't explain it properly but I had super high expectations for him, that's the only reason I was let down. it is an amazing part, and the half can 5050, a couple of the lines, and the ollie over to crook looked remarkable, like the more fucked up the trick is, the better his style is.
-
this guy is like the second coming of Brian Anderson
-
Id prefer a dude pushing with his hand on his knee to a trick then seeing him get towed into it by a motorcycle/car. John killed it.
-
He's clearly hauling ass, but am I the only one wondering if this guy can do a single flip trick??? Definitely stepped his game up tho
-
Halfcab 50-50 on the Stanford hubba. That's some raw power.
-
This part will be on repeat for awhile. I can see where people are coming from with no fliptricks but I think it's way more refreshing to watch somebody going fast and charging shit as opposed to technical prowess on ledges/rails.

You've never done a 360 flip 5050, have you? Had you ever done one, you'd know that it feels cools to do and that's all that matters.
-
That was a pretty good watch, but in my opinion a lot of the recent Alien Workshop stuff has been walking a fine line of being just a little too serious/pretentious that it's almost laughable. I mean c'mon we're just skateboarding here.
-
BA, my ass..
BA does flip tricks..
-
tail slide kickflip
-
BA? Are you guys for real? BA's a contender for greatest flow on a skateboard of all time. Just being a big guy who charges shit doesn't make you BA. This guy has bad style and is overrated, and doesn't flip his board.
Also, this is the team of Jake Johnson. The standards are higher. Homeboy don't make the cut.
-
Not sure why this is so controversial. It's a sick clip with some of the best editing in the business and a fun-to-watch skater charging shit.
Had to go back and watch the other Life Splicing vids, fuck they're all great.

I can see what your saying.
funniest way you could have possibly started that ridiculous jumble of shit

Don't like these BA comparisons, i can kind of see it but i feel like e. berle really embodies the BA vibe. still a good part from john tho....
-
This thread is headache inducing. John skates like John and BA skates like BA, they just both have tall dude style. John is fucking sick, gnarly cool looking spots and a different eye for tricks, how could you not enjoy watching that? To say he doesn't show Alien potential is ignorant. Especially while JJ is loved by all for doing wall rides and bank tricks. I know he was injured and has done fucked up stuff, but the hype around him is a bit much.
Already looking towards the next Life Splicing. Looks like by the end of them we'll have a really sick full length.. potentially a dvd?

funny that ppl say he is not good for AWS , when AWS pretty much told him to quit zero and come ride for them
AWS has always been known for having a great team , why would they start inviting bad skaters all the sudden ?
-
Some of you guys are idiots. Seriously, he's biting Jason Dill by doing a frontside slappy? I had no idea Jason Dill was the only person who ever has done or is allowed to do frontside slappies. Here I thought they had been around since at least the 80's, if not the late 70's

That's not true. He quit zero cause zero sucks then somehow got on alien.

The extreme over-analysis of this combined with people talking about forrest edwards in a thread that had nothing to do with him, I think is a glowing example of the kind of pseudo-intellectual idiots that populate this forum.

This dudes style is incredible, i dont give a fuck that he didnt do a fliptrick. I don't like that people are comparing him to forrest, dont get me wrong forrest kills it, but his style sucks and he looks like he's trying way too hard.

The little slappy to start his line, the 180 (halfcab) the hard way, the crappy rail combo that doesnt look good, ollieing over the back of the rail into the grind. I mean, he skates some big shit that looks sick but then hes got all those filler lines and then the trendy tricks. And then theres his whole workwear uniform that hes suddenly rocking. Its a bit much. He could be on foundation or something and that would make sense but not really workshop.
The workshop editing and the filming really bring it all together more than fitzgerald does. The filming on that first pool line is sick tho. Hes on the team, good for him, but nothing he does screams "legend in the making"
ehh he can charge big shit but that line at 3rd and army was pretty weak. its not hard to grind tall ledges.

First of all, you're right; it's not hard to grind tall ledges, but it is hard to grind really tall ledges. That thing is damn near chest high! But more importantly, I've never seen anyone skate it that way and thinking differently is cool.

I like the frontside board down the rail where there are a whole bunch of people sitting in the back Of the star line truck watching.
Funny.
At first I thought it was his bros in the back of a pick up truck.

fucking shit this is an good part for an Am.
Keep in mind he also film for Vans?
i woud be happy if my fav Pro from Girl / Chocolate have an Part like this in pretty sweat... not only a handfull of single tricks.
I agree with all the people who said his skating remind to the young BA, but this is the best compliement you can give to someone.
He dont do flip tricks, but i dont care. I care about good lines and new not so often seen moves and cool basics.
If he choose to do a big frondboard down the set and not an nollie heelflip - the most important is he do it proper.
And he do it proper. I like it.

Why do people say that wearing chinos or work clothes is a new trend?

that was pretty boring to me. except the alley oop 5050 on that hubba

pretty much.
almost all skaters have been wearing a variation on this get up for the last 30 years.

He's a BA that can't skate switch. Sick none the less. The front board on the Sunset rainbow rail is no joke. Pretty much every skater who's spent anytime in LA has seen that rail and he's one of the first to step to it. (think Daniel Haney board slid it back in the day)

Maybe if the pot was vastly smarter than the kettle lol.
You know damn well that even if forrest hadn't commented on that, people would still be talking about him in this thread.
This is how these forums work, one person says something and someone else responds with their opinion. I'm not going to stop crying about it, in fact I'm not even going to try to stop crying about. I'm going to spend all day boo-hooing.

Really? He did. Wow. Forrest is one jealous pile of trash. Clearly he hasn't changed and will deservedly remain in the sponsorship purgatory he is in. Who wants that on their team? I can imagine him at the premiere of a teams video talking shit on the ender part because it wasn't him.
Here I figured it was just a bunch of people who were being sour grapes about John because so many of them said something along the lines of "Let's see where John and Forrest are in a year..." after OIAM believing John was the wrong pick.

He did say "but the skating was OK.", which is probably the closest he can get to paying a compliment, especially to John.
That's not really making much of a case for him, though.

that was pretty sick, but i kinda agree that the videography pulled the weight in a sense. I think im just kinda bitter that they seemingly passed up boserio for this dude. i dont care if kooked it on tour, give him a mini uhaul to get pulled behind the van in or something

Sooooo pretty much it should be ok for him to be a prick? It seems fairly obvious why he hasn't been picked up by anyone to be a part of the team, he's a complete cocksucker to anyone who doesn't share his philosophy when it comes to skateboarding. I wouldn't want to be on a team with someone like that, maybe he could get on a team where this doesn't matter but there aren't many out there like that.

anyone care to elaborate? i cant help but think of the nick merlino/baker situation, but obv is boserio is still with aws, so it couldnt be that bad...

We should compare the Boserio and Fitz life splicings...

you guys are such punk kids, fuck comparing this dude to some other dude or talkin about which clothes he wears. i think i'm just gonna stick with saying that this clip was enjoyable as hell.

What im saying is, dude should not be settling for less when he goes out and skates, just drop all the trendy shit and stop trying to fit in so goddamn hard. Its like hes not even trying. Hes clearly talented enough to be doing pinnacle shit, he doesnt need to be doing crappy combo grinds. The rainbow rail and his opening trick are his best tricks. Brand new spots next to no one skates and pinnacle looking shit. Pretty much all in LA where people say there isnt anything new to skate. Everybody else is going to be all bummed thinking "well i couldve skated that" but they didnt. and i like where hes going with that kinked curved hubba 50-50 he bails before his name appears. He has lots of good tricks in this.
Its just all the trendy/halfassed shit he needs to cut out. If youre just going to look around you and do what everyone else is doing then go to some other buttfuck company and do that. I just want to see him push himself more. Look at the team youre on: grant, jake, dylan, bledsoe, salazar, these dudes skate like themselves. Even terpenings is coming into his own with his whole, "im from the 80s, ive come to beanplant your tables." people wanna skate like those dude, not some guy who wants to button up his shirt all the way and is the 30th dude to ollie over a rail. If youre gonna ollie over a rail and be an am for that team find a kinked rail and ollie over the rail and past the kink and 5050 that shit. Blow peoples minds. Not this , "well its good enough" shit.

I'm not going to post anymore in this thread after this, but those tricks you're talking about, he's not doing them on curbs or six stairs, he's doing those tricks on big, gnaly spots and he's going fast doing it. Why do you expect so much anyway? It's not like they immediately turned him pro or anything.
-
Because. if you ride for a company that matters you should be doing tricks that matter.
as it stands i dont see what separates him from the seas of dudes who ride for B tier companys outside of that rainbow rail trick and a few others.
-
just because a trick is popular does not mean it isn't extremely difficult or lesser in any way.

I was really high when I first watched this on new year's eve.
I was watching it on my iPhone and had a hard time believing this video existed. I watched it like 10 times in a row and was kind of pissed that Alien Workshop has such good music in their videos. Not the same bands used over and over in skate edits.
But man, this clip is amazing. Also considering he's filming for the Vans Video prolly. Quality clips.
Alien edit>zero edit
srry Jamie still love you tho.
Terpening's KF over the Target carts was gnarly. He was dressed like some dude from a New Deal video or something. straight early 90's. So sick.

Thought the exact same thing. Probably my favorite trick in the whole thing, that and Jake's wallride pretty much stole the show for me.

i guess, its kind of the trend though everyone is trying to skate spots backwards or go up them. John had the right idea but 50-50 drop to a 5-0 doesnt look that cool... and he couldnt have done a cleaner fakie 5-0 180 so he didnt have to do that hideous ogre push haha.
John rips if he keeps putting out clips of this quality i cant hate, i just dont like how he looks on a skateboard. he looks built for the NBA
-
i enjoyed everything about this clip.. and that wierd shaped white hubba he 5050s is fucking massive! saw it when i went to barca and its like nipple high.. serious pop in them ogreish limbs of his
-
this dude is getting more and more into his own gnar zone lately. i'm definitely backing this shit. some of those spots have been sitting unskated for years being passed on by some of your favorite big boys. john stepped to it and i think every fucking trick looked good. thats tight. fuck what else yall talm bout.

OH MAN THAT ONE FRONT BOARD! Hes a big dude so the rail started to bend and every reinforcing upright bar in the rail was a little bump and he just rides it out! I loved absolutely everything about this. Alien is finally starting to progress as far as their image goes I think. They seemed kind of stagnant and seemed lost image wise after the Burton buy out.
-
other then the intro that had nothing to do with anything.. super sick. good sounds, good edit, some crazy stops, and things to even step to.
-
This guy has always skated like this, you can see it from his OIAM tape and the random clips he has on youtube. Just because it's trendy to skate that way doesn't mean he's doing it because he's trendy. Besides, that clip was fucking sick, been watching it before I go skate and it hypes me up a whole lot.
-
After watching this part again and again, and not being convinced by it (while it was obvious Boserio fitted well to Alien) I ended up thinking that if Mikey Taylor can be on Alien then this guy too, he is way more legit than Taylor IMO.

part is sick as fuck, thead is gay as fuck

rewatch oiam with him in it. You can tell by watching him there that this actually reflects how he likes to skate, not him following trends. If he cared about what was popular you'd see a lot more fliptricks.
Also, footplant tricks like beanplants are hella trendy right now. The only actual problem I have with Alien workshop is that they seem a little to fond of trends- whether it is being part of the last one or trying to create the next one. Dill'n Dylan are two of the most annoyingly trend obsessed people ever.

With dylan, i dont think theres a conscious effort to start trends, he just does things and people are into it, but you have a point about footplants and jason dill in general. Im not sure you could say the whole team is like that, just certain dudes but then theres this whole meta argument that could be made about certain people on other reputable skate teams that do the exact same thing. Terpenings getting better and better though, he just needs more time, his style is definitely getting there.
As for fitzgerald I guess ill have to rewatch oiam, i just dont remember the full button up deal or the slappies, etc. Dont get me wrong, I have no problem with slappies, its just that i like his next level rail and hubba stuff a lot more than all the basic stuff hes doing. I guess i just expect more from him. Like, the same expectations someone should have if they were about to get on girl/chocolate. i think its the same if ur trying to get on alien.

I didn't read any of the rants above this, but this part made me laugh out loud. I think this might be the single most ill informed thing I've ever read on SLAP. No, he doesn't start trends, he lives by what is trendy, takes it to an Nth degree, to where it is nothing more than laughable, and runs them into the ground.
If wearing pink shoelaces became trendy tomorrow, Dylan would be this first to show up to the spot in a solid pink onsie.

Like with his dress shoe and doing impossibles? Because lots of people were successfully making those trendy before him......

He was far from the one who brought impossibles back, people were already doing them. He just did one over that bench.
but
He took something trendy (boat shoes)

took them to the Nth degree (dress shoes) to the point of where it became laughable
(http://www.radcollector.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/arieder.jpg)
and ran the trend into the ground, resulting in this being the new trend

its what they do at plenty of your favorite companies. You think they put cory kennedy on for his pretty smile?
And honestly via, i think youre making associations where they dont exist. Dudes into dressshoes -> dude made a skateable dress shoe. He wears lots of loafers now, how does that fit into taking trends to nth degree? I mean, look at it this way, thats a shoe an actual shoe designer could be proud of. Theres shoes out there that go for 800 dollars that have the same design inspirations the dylan shoe has but dont look nearly as good.
I remember what all the footage looked like around the time that gravis part came out. I can think of a couple of impossibles but nothing ever made anyone go holy shit. People took notice to the ammount he did, even did em with grabs. People dug it. I mean, people were doing combo grinds before fully flared, there were a bunch in inhabitants and bag of suck but fully flared is the video credited with bringing them back so its not the first time.
-
Hah, I just really don't like Dylans whole persona/image that he's trying really hard to be/look like. Usually I don't care what people I've never met want to make of themselves, but his is just especially irritating for some reason. It doesn't matter at all, though, I don't really care. I'm down to just agree to disagree on what he has done in skateboarding.
For the record though, did you just say you think those Gravis shoes look good?
-
How is everyone not just totally fucking stoked on this part. The editing, the music, the skating, the filming. It's so fucking rad.
-
Because. if you ride for a company that matters you should be doing tricks that matter.
as it stands i dont see what separates him from the seas of dudes who ride for B tier companys outside of that rainbow rail trick and a few others.
I can't believe you like Lennie Kirk. You didn't even spell his name right you fucking kook. "B tier". Once a Plan B fan boy always a Plan B fan boy.

alien workshop is one of the most legit companies out right now
Exept their name and graphics suck. I mean they always have except for the photo slick boards.

He was far from the one who brought impossibles back, people were already doing them. He just did one over that bench.
Yeah, he was doing them before too.

There's two in this part, this was the first I ever saw of him. It came out before Time to Shine which was like '06. I guess the point is he was always doing them, but grew into being able to do them really well (in my opinion probably the best all time) and that made them "trendy."

got this video with a rasa libre board back in the day. it was the first time he kind of broke out of the birdhouse/yosiris little kid rail jockey persona and kind of did his own thing. those black and red dunks were the best.

1) Doing impossibles does not make you original unless you are Ed Templeton. Even if it did, doing one trick before it was popular doesn't mean you are a trend setter. Also, I feel like there was somebody else who was bringing impossibles back before Dylan.
2) Dylan. is the biggest trend jumper there has ever been. When rails were big he skated rails, when parks suddenly started coming back he was suddenly skating transition all the time, New York skating becomes popular and guess who moves to NYC? I'm not saying he isn't talented or stylish or that doing something like impossibling over that bench in New York isn't sick, but I am saying he's not original and seems to have an approach to skating that reflects whatever type of skating is popular at the time. Also, he dresses like a trendy hipster doofus.
3) People were defending Terpening after one of my posts, that's a misinterpretation, I love that dude's skating and wasn't trying to knock him.

When rail skating was big he was a little kid doing what was popular because thats what little kids do. When parks and shit were coming back he was what like 16-17? getting older trying different things, pretty healthy attitude for somebody that age, no? Moves to new york when he is what like 20-22 or something? seems like a pretty understandable thing for somebody of his age and interests to want to do. I'm not saying he is some GREAT ORIGINAL but your argument is just putting such a willfully negative spin on the facts. Do you expect the dude to be like "I'd love to move to new york and I have friends there and It'd probably be great for my career but fuck, I don't wanna be biting the millions of people that live in new york, shots played out" I think you probably coulda just reduced your argument to "I don't like Dylan Rieder cus of clothes he wears"

How dumb are you? Hipsters don't dress trendy because then they wouldn't be hip. What you probably think is hip was hip a few years ago already. Like people that think hipsters wear trucker hats. Furthermore, the most trendy shit right now is work/"heritage" wear. Dylan doesn't dress in either. He's stylish. What do you wear? Orange t-shirts and Old Navy cargoes? Seriously I'd like to know how you dress and are "above" style.
-
some gnarly spots for sure, but the comparisons to BA are a joke. BA oozed flow and style from the beginning, skates switch fluently, flips the board beautifully. this dudes arms are a little too funky chicken. he's kinda gangly and spastic whereas BA had the slo-mo floaty-ness for days. But he is a tall white man so i'll give you that.

I actually didn't even say I don't like Dylan Rieder. Your argument could have been "I love Dylan so much that I am willing to rationalize anything and everything he does." You made up a fake quote attributed to him and then asked me too argue against it. It was a reverse strawman and it was incredible. I'm curious how moving away from the center of the skateboard industry to the latest trendy skate town is good for a skateboarder's career. Also, Its amazing how he manages to be at the exact age where you think it would make sense for him to switch things up 6 months after the way he changes himself to be becomes popular. The kid is a trend hopper, it doesn't mean he isn't talented, it does mean he is completely unoriginal.
Can somebody take care of banning annoying little sheep shagger? He's just kind of aggressively stupid. Kinda like strike a pose, but more intentional.

Ok, to take a play out of your book. I didn't even say I loved dylan rider so much. I think tucking your cold-wave band tshirt into your black jeans and mincing around with a skull ring is lame, I also think impossibling over benches is gnarly. Dude is a great skater but I wouldnt say "one of my favorites".
If he continues to produce footage of the quality he has been doing I don't think moving away from L.A will do him much harm and I more meant if he continues to fuck around with fashion shit and like peddling alligator skulls with some other dudes with slick-back hair-do's (which he is clearly into, more power to him) then maybe its the better place for him. I was more saying how absurd it was you were hating on somebody in their mid-twenties for moving to new york. There are ten thousand reasons for somebody to do that other than being a "trend-hopper"
I was speculating about the ages, I just thought they sounded about right. I didn't fact check because I don't invest nearly as much of myself to this site as you do and probably more importantly don't have such a terrible fear of and reaction to somebody having the gall to correct me. I'm not intending on dragging on this bitching match even after you make your dipshit self satisfied reply as I know you are just so petty you would never concede an inch no matter what I said. Love the idea of the ban though, man. What's the charge? Just disagreeing with you?

Way to avoid the question. When people complain about others being "hipsters" it's always because they themselves feel inferior. As someone with no sense of occasion or personal style or taste, you should refrain from commenting from such matters in the future, catamite.

Every time I see you respond with your "ad hominem" catch phrase I cringe like I do when I'm flipping through a mag and see a Red Dragons or TORK TRUX ad.

You back Lee Yankou real hard ...and indeed he rips like a motherfucker...but is he a hipster? He might not tuck his shirt in, but those cuffs are something else..his impossibles are alright, too.

If I was mad at you I would have nitpicked the civil war comment. Sometimes I realize I've cast myself as the heal and then rile the crowd a bit.
Lee Yankou? Fuck yeah I back him. For some reason he reminds me of Wayne from Wayne's world with huge pop. I was ready for him to get down and say "I'm not worthy" when David 5050'd the SOTA rail. But he's not close enough to be ironic hipster Wayne. The Dylan thing wasn't really about his fashion, it was more about his approach to skating.
