Volvo Throwaway (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2xxzJhuJjo#)

Best part about that video was matt militano.
Everything else was just as high-water/ converse/ black and white/ rolled up sleeves as expected.
-
talk shit on the fits all you want, i think sean pablo looks so good on a skateboard
-
hes a poor mans dylan, just as matt militano is a poor mans evan smith. however, being a poor mans dylan or evan smith is a compliment
-
That's what skateboarding needs. More average.

Ya I think his style is actually sick, a little strange, but in a sick way.

Eh, wasn't that into it.

whoever edited this fucked up adrain adrids line such pissed me off

Somebody should tell those kids they are all the same person.

Rekon that was sick! Anyone know if there's a full vid that gave birth to these "throwaways"?
-
Can someone remind me why we do this?

Am i missing something or was 2:26 just a simple ollie down like a 7 stair. Thats coverage worthy?

How dare you.
That was a particularly trendy ollie down a 7 set.
Did you not see his flair?
Philistine.

He skates with speed and pops his tricks. Right. But not in a way that sets him apart from anyone (like Busenitz's skating does, e.g.). All of his tricks might as well have been from a late 80's video. And even back then they wouldn't have been anything special. I feel like he's the definition of generic in a way that he hops on the "simple tricks, fast skating - slick hair, rolled up pants and sleeves" wagon. Based on skill alone, there is no place for him in the skateboarding industry. There's nothing individual and exciting about his skating from my point of view. He's just a very poor man's Dylan and Austyn. However, aside from their fashion, they're both really gnarly and individual skaters. Sean Pablo, on the other hand, is just generic. That's the first word that came to my mind when watching this.

well and over a fence. given the fact that its a b-footy clip, its not too daring to put it in there

the bumb to back smith was pretty legit!

you should write a thesis on sean pablo

Sean Pablo looks pretty decent on his skateboard. Will undoubtedly get better.
It's a clip on the web and people are crying like he has a pro model board and is getting paid lots of money.
pretty hilarious really.
he just looks like he's having fun on a skateboard.
that's infectious.

I hope I never see that first dude skate ever again. Strictly lousy

Just came in here specifically to post that when I see "FA kids" I instantly think of obnoxious and entitled NYC hipster teenagers, and I want to vomit. I don't have any desire to actually watch these spoiled kids skate. They skate at a mediocre level, but are all about showing how cool they are. Who the fuck would want to relate to douchebags like that? Good job Dill, you picked a team as unlikeable and pretentious as yourself. I can't wait until you find out how few people actually think that is cool.
I'm sure from the "brink perspective" I don't know the inside story about these kids and who they really are- but I don't give a fuck. They advertise themselves as a brand of fashion forward kids who were raised in the city going to private schools and pretending to be raw, while not doing any tricks that are interesting at all.
FA is Fucking Awful. I can't wait until their main offices are Fucking Abandoned. Dill and AVE are Fucking Assholes for Fucking Abandoning Fuckin Alien workshop.
And no, I didn't watch it. That's my point. The team has already left such a bad taste in my mouth, that when I see an opportunity to watch their footage, I'd rather talk about how shitty I find them than waste my time falling asleep watching these arrogant little fucks. Good job Dill. You're company is repellant.

unfortunately, i can see a shit ton of entitled nyc hipster non-skaters thinking this is cool, and spending a ton of mommy and daddy's money on FA bullshit, and FA ultimately thriving. i could be wrong (and i hope i Fucking Am).

I agree. Matt is very sick and deserves a fair shot at an AM level if he isn't already on something. Tyler Golden too
*does slappy on double sided curb with perfectly hemmed dickies/Macklemore haircut, blows cigarette smoke in Gipper's face* you just don't get it man. although you're kinda on point with them being rich kids

Fucking Whatever

no, none of these kids are "good" enough to be on any big companies....BUT this is where the divide begins. You have the alpha jock bros pushing skateboarding's technical progression, (PROD, NINEJA) and then you have guys who are pushing the style game. It's like abstract painting basically. Yeah there are amazing photo realistic paintings of people and places but it gets boring because its such a good painting how can I ever relate to that sort of talent and process, where as jackson pollock throws paint on a canvas and it seems slightly more relatable despite the fact that he just threw shit on there. Its painting any way you slice it but the processes and intent behind it is completely different. It's been said countless times but I think that's truly the only way you can look at these kids and understand what they're doing. Yeah, the outfits and tricks themselves are alittle try-hard, but shit they're like 17 years old and having a blast so why bother to bitch about it?
One thing I do like about these kids is that alot of the lines they do remind me of late 80s/early 90s videos where they are actually STREET skating and not spot hopping.

Fine, you want someone who is pushing the style game? Brad fucking Cromer kills it and has a great style and unique trick/line selection. These kids just kind of suck. You can't legitimize them by saying "alpha jock bro" about skaters who are talented.

I love how people who try and defend these try hards equate not liking them with being some dude who wears flex fit hats and has monster tats.
And there's nothing wrong with people pushing the technical side of skateboarding. Do I love watching someone go ham on a ledge or a huge rail...not really. But what these "jocks" are doing is more original and true to skateboardings supposed cardinal characteristic, creativity. And as doom said there are so many people killing it on all fronts, so having to decide between style (or in this case fancy arm movements) and technical ability is a complete fallacy.

Love me some Militano footage. I always think It'd be rad if he was the first Am on 3D.

Dyrdek bastardized the thing. I don't see how people could hate on them for leaving a company that is essentially Element now to do their own shit. In Kalis' interview he says how Dyrdek envisions a future of skating where there are only ten pros and everyone else does it for fun. There was no room for Dill and AVE, and definitely not these kids in Dyrdek's vision of pro skating.
-
Wearing your pants like that should be a crime. Also id take the way Pudwill flails his arms about over that Sean Pablo turds arm movement any day.
-
very sick, thanks.
love how the hype machine works. these kids are basically skating everyday and posting some instagram photos of their friends. people look at what they wear and their trick selection and get sooo mad! you are basically hating on kids who enjoy dressing cool and love skating; what strange behavior for teenagers! hhaha you are the true kooks.
they aren't talking mad shit or hating on everyone. their ego seems to be quite normal for their age.
love that these kids are getting hooked up. it's all subjective anyhow.

if Macys launched a skate line this would be it. I want to kick these kids in the ghoulies but I don't think it would do much

You are the equivalent of some old bastard yelling at kids to get off his lawn.

Well said.
Further, I don't get the argument that these are 'basic tricks' done by 'mediocre talents'. these kids are skating effortlessly, in a fun, relatable way; I can't stand Dill but I certainly am interested in anything he does on a skateboard- I love skateboarding too much to boycott companies or riders because of my own Ego or limited, inflated perspective.
If you guys try to let go of your hate, you'd probably start enjoying skateboarding again.

that wallride in the first line was so anticlimactic.

grown ass men on the internet furiously hating on a bunch of young teenagers having fun skating and wearing short pants is quite possibly the funniest thing ever.

skating is all about choosing your outfit very deliberately, going out in public. looking super sick. and then riding your board a little bit

No joke, I think this is actually the best, and most honest thing that's ever been written on the Slap Forum.

i've always been envious of people who dress in whatever way they want, despite how trendy/outrageous they might appear. i can hardly wear a hat without feeling like the fashion gestapo are keeping a profile on me.

THANK YOU.
Can we install a Slap filter that every time someone talks shit about clothes, Team Handsome, FA, etc... the post quoted above pops up instead?? Because it's crystal clear to any sensible adult, this is what they really mean.
-
To me, it's more of the mentality of it all rather than the actual outfits that I find annoying. I just think it's so weird that skating is something that at one point in time was raw and street skating was the embodiment of the "don't give a fuck what people think" attitude. But, when you so deliberately spend time rolling up your pant cuffs just the perfect length so people can see just the perfect amount of sock, or follow and recreate what exactly is going on in men's fashion at the time, you're not doing these things for yourself. These are things you do in order for other people to see and create their opinions of you off that image thus negating any 'don't give a fuck what people think" aspect left in the skating . Not to mention that it seems like most people who go for this look might be trying to make up for something they are lacking in their skating (exceptions to this rule include but are not limited to: Dylan, Austyn and AO who all clearly rip). I'm just saying, let your skating do the talking, not your outfit. Westgate, GT, PJ and Leo are some of the most prolific skaters of this time and you won't catch them rockin' any urban outfitters hipster shit, because they let their skating make an impact in the skate world instead of their image. To me these outfits are nothing but what make up is to a girl, something to add flash and distract you.
But this is all just my opinion and I could be taking all of this shit way too seriously which I probably am for no apparent reason. Who knows. Just throwin in my 2 cents.

sean pablo fakes the phonk too. i didnt like shawn when he 1st came out either,but he does keep it "real' in a sense. i agreed with what gipper said until he stated he didnt even watch the footage.

yeah they're all a bunch of wannabe dills, I agree.
but what I don't get is how you can actually get mad at children, specifically the clothing they wear and how they ride a piece of wood, for no reason, especially after not even watching the shit! just the thought is enough. like, that's some serious mental shit. most people don't get that rattled about actual newsworthy events. just call it wack and move on.
this shit ain't that serious

hahaha
Gips is goin' off and didn't even bother to watch the clip. that's taking slap-hate to the next-level.
i wouldn't expect anything less from tha Gipper.
-
Aren't some of these kids hooked up by supreme? If so I would assume that dressing "fashionably" comes with the territory.
Anyway I agree with whoever was pissed at the editing specifically during adrien adrid's part, but on the whole I found this to be an enjoyable clip of skateboarding.

the only way you can tell if their footy is in slow motion or not is when they fall

I knew putting "FA" in the title would spark a round table discussion about fits. It was meant to provoke. Some of you guys are mixing up the past fad (Team Handsome shit) with the new 90's/Welcome/Dickies and thrift store thing though. KNOW your avenue because it's a fit-frenzy world out there.
-
I'm not sold on Sean Pablo yet and his arm/wrist style is pretty hard to watch. Looks like he's afraid
Alexander Schmidt should have more footage.

Yeah FA kids but.. Espy does not "fake the funk" or whatever you're saying "Nigga". That dude is really a nut.

Dill needed to fill the team with mediocracy if he's going to have the opener/ended.
I'd say he's succeeded.

Fucking Whatever
Fucking Emaciated

I think their style of dress is supposed to wow you more than the actual skating footage. Cause all those FA kids (sean pablo, nakel, cash and even throw in lui elliot) they all aren't good but they all either ride on that "cool dress" factor or Odd future. kevin bradley and Tyshaun mildly surprise me.

wait...wait...wait... you agreed with what I said after you watched the footage, but then realized that I knew that before watching their latest clip, and you fault me for that? That rant was about why I didn't even feel the need to watch it, because I'm already over Fucking Awesome (try to rename it FA all you want, the real and stupid name is Fucking Awesome).
And yes, I do remember having fun as a kid, none of my nostalgiac moments ever relate to me reading fashion magazines and obsessing over my outfit, or working super hard to pose in a cool way in front of cameras though. I kinda prefered trying to ollie big stairs, playing with fireworks, and feebly attempting to attract the attention of women. Fuck, that's still how I try to have fun, aside from the stairs being smaller, the fireworks being bigger, and the attempts somehow becoming more feeble.

i just think not watching it is dumb, i dont blame you tho.
I think their style of dress is supposed to wow you more than the actual skating footage. Cause all those FA kids (sean pablo, nakel, cash and even throw in lui elliot) they all aren't good but they all either ride on that "cool dress" factor or Odd future. kevin bradley and Tyshaun mildly surprise me.
PLZ TELL ME HOW NAKEL ISNT GOOD?

This is FA? Don't think I've ever heard of any of those kids, and all of the tricks in there were stuff at least half of the kids at my local skatepark could do. None of them had any exceptional style, creativity or speed either. Not hatin on these kids, but if I wan't to see this kinda skating, I just watch some local video with my friends in it and get way more stoked, so I don't see what's the point of FA.

Yeah I thought the exact same thing, not sure about all of them but the Sean Pablo footage I have seen left me wondering why the fuck his name keeps getting mentioned, then again it all seems to be throw away stuff so who knows.
-
Sean Pablo is sick. How old is the kid? 15?

no matter how good or bad that photo or the skateboarder is, there is a dude with a yellow visor filming.

Yeah nakel fucking rips. He was getting hooked up by real before going with his friends to FA, and last I checked he was getting stuff from lakai. He's the most talented kid on the FA thing

i've always been envious of people who dress in whatever way they want, despite how trendy/outrageous they might appear. i can hardly wear a hat without feeling like the fashion gestapo are keeping a profile on me.
I think we can all agree to that. However, I think the point is more that the only reason these kids are getting hooked up is because they dress in a fashionable way. The skating in that clip was the least creative approach to skating I've ever seen in a video released by a renowned company or mag.
In the beginning of the 2000s, people were hating on "handrail kids" such as Matt Allen. Well, the new "handrail kid" is the hipster kid doing nothing but the most basic tricks and no complies on sidewalks. And not even in a progressive way (e.g. like Huf did). They can go out and do that stuff all day as far as I'm concerned but if the skateboarding industry evolves in a way that gives rise to mediocre, dull skating paired with trendy clothes, then that doesn't sit well with me.
Oh, and Fucking Awesome was off to a fucking horrible start so far. As trendily postmodern as trendily postmodern gets. And that shit is so played out, it's insane. So I'm not generally hating on some young kids skating but on Dill (and AVE) promoting their shit. Hell, Dill might be an idiot, but I can't wrap my head around AVE backing all that.

You guys are fucking ridiculous. This clip isn't linked to FA either, it's just a throwaway montage from Jacob Messex. Wait for the Supreme video
-
It seems pretty contradictory to hate on these kids and FA and then love pappalardo and Alex Olson. They all seem to be coming from the same place mentally. You'll learn to love them. They're only an interview or two away from capturing your hearts and minds. This is what you guys wanted don't get all bent out of shape when you get it.

Tyler, the last person in the montage, is actually pretty good. heres some of his older footage

no, none of these kids are "good" enough to be on any big companies....BUT this is where the divide begins. You have the alpha jock bros pushing skateboarding's technical progression, (PROD, NINEJA) and then you have guys who are pushing the style game. It's like abstract painting basically. Yeah there are amazing photo realistic paintings of people and places but it gets boring because its such a good painting how can I ever relate to that sort of talent and process, where as jackson pollock throws paint on a canvas and it seems slightly more relatable despite the fact that he just threw shit on there. Its painting any way you slice it but the processes and intent behind it is completely different. It's been said countless times but I think that's truly the only way you can look at these kids and understand what they're doing. Yeah, the outfits and tricks themselves are alittle try-hard, but shit they're like 17 years old and having a blast so why bother to bitch about it?
One thing I do like about these kids is that alot of the lines they do remind me of late 80s/early 90s videos where they are actually STREET skating and not spot hopping.
BUT, the thing is that BOTH are forced. forced style, forced outfits, forced opinions. everything. these kids have no identity of their own.

People of a certain age always wince at new trends that pop up. I've done it myself. But what the fuck is so wrong with some kids making their own little scene be it try-hard or not? I already brought this up in the Milic thread but that question still stands. The fact that it's sparked a bunch of keyboard bashing over their intentions says enough. Let kids be kids

I agree, but it's not like any of this banter is going to change how they think/dress anyways. You may as well talk some shit on the forums if that's how you feel.

Just had to come in and say that was fucking AWFUL. Laughable really.
-
This clip was very hard to make it to the end. Has anyone seen the DVD that comes with newer FA decks yet? Anything worth caring about? AVE n Dill stuff? Terps? I'm hoping nothing of this sort especially with that editing.

Alex is close, but I'd say its like hating on these kids and thinking Dill is cool. But Dill isn't cool.

shit....how can AVE be down with this clownery? Damn shame.

because dill is the power bottom ave just follows dills lead on how much pressure to apply, how fast to skate etc. i don't think he needs to give any thought at all, just move off of dill's cues.

dill and ave

I didn't even think these kids dressed THAT outrageous for yall to be this mad
-
i never understood why or how ave got sucked into all this hipster pretty boy shit. ave is actually capable of doing amazing tricks... these little fuckboys are just dressing as trendy as possible while focusing on how to perfect their arm movements doing a bunch of ollies

youre seans and FA's biggest fan boy shut up and stop defending them already. 80% of the post ive seen from you are about sean pabeo in some shape or form.

Fucking awesome is fucking shithouse.
And I like Alien so much more now.

ouch!
Im assuming AVE's the big scary softy and Dills the annoying alpha male behind the scenes.
-
I can't believe AVE and Kevin Terpening quit Alien Workshop for this horse shit.
-
i dont know why these kids get so much talk when there are kids that actually rip,
like that new baker kid or louie lopez
edit: and think about donovan, hes dressing pretty hip too but his skating is so good that he could dress however
he wanted and would still be relevant

"ugh but FA isnt my favorite thing, i hate it because its not perfect for me i hate you dill"
this is you guys

Let's bring it back to the big issue. How annoying was it when that first kid was doing all that pointy twinkle toes bullshit every 3 seconds? Is that this Sean Pablo character?

yea dats sean p, i do agree with someone who said nigga looks scared on a board lol.
but sage, nakel, and kevin bradley, all do tight shit on a board. idk when skating became about being "THE BEST" in order to be hooked up. yall sound like some salty ass niggas, cus i know if ave and dill were showing me love/giving me product id be dumb stoked.

Could've used more slow motion.
