Things Instagram skaters do

[Far from relevant]

I'll start,

they ask if you want to see a new edit
they apologize for not posting anything in awhile
make posts wearing louis vitton or gucci

[Craig Lutzka]

Quick pull ups

Quick pull ups

Don't forget the 2 or 3 piece.

Tell you to go peep their recent on their story

Tell you to go peep their recent on their story

And then the story says "New Post. Show some love"

[SodaJerk]

Dolphin flips

[ShyLow]

If they are chicks they look back and laugh at the camera after every fucking trick

[rapscallion]

Post the exact same clips to story and post making you see it as many times as possible.

Repost a clip and say, "It didn't get enough attention last time."

Tag every single company for every piece of gear and clothing in the video, even though there's nothing impressive about the clip.

Reply to compliments with fist and fire emojis.

And of course the reason they do most of these things is that they are imitating other instagram skaters.

post the occasional heartfelt but vague message about something or other that sounds like when pro athletes try to be philosophical.

People already said what I was thinking:
(Number of tricks ) piece
Asking for them to show love on their new post on their story.
Saying when or what time they are going to drop a new “edit” and to look for it.
Stretching 2 tricks to a full minute of shit.
Tagging all your gear.

“Light work” “throw away” “warm ups”

Awful music (I’m guilty of this I use emo songs)

“It’s so hard to get noticed for skating in my city”

Holy shit, you nailed it with "warm ups"...that one infuriates me for some reason.
Warming up for WHAT?!?!  If someone writes that in the caption you know damn well that the trick filmed was the absolute apex of their ability and they're insecure with how people will judge the trick. This way they can pretend that they're just giving you a lil' taste of their amazing gift.

Sorry for the rant...I should go outside.

shoulder shrug emojis and that stupid purple devil face

And then the story says "New Post. Show some love"

Or “check my recent.  You know what to do.”

[MOUNTAIN]

"send it"

[Pappy Jones]

Instagram skaters are poison. I do my best to ignore them.

Having said that, there are plenty of people who simply use Instagram to share their skating with their friends in a tasteful way and that’s cool. I don’t post my own skating but I like seeing my friends.
