Also just saw that ad on the back cover of Free, yeah (rad photo too), shit was funny once, dumb the second time and now it's just getting stale and lame. What's the main idea, try to overtake the Heroin marketshare aka. actual skateboarders again to instead promote hype beast shit and push Dwindle wood? Palace is rad and has done sick shit for skateboarding this decade but Heroin's got the fucking legacy. Local beef is fucking lame.
I guess Palace did take a lesson from Magenta taunting them every day on the first Battle of Normandy tour with the same joke. Every time the crews would run into one another that week, the Magenta guys would just come up to them and ask 'so, you guys think you are better than us?', none of the Palace guys were bright enough to just play along and they'd all be 'what? really, no, why?'. Rinse and repeat for the week and even the Magenta ad printed that month said 'so, you guys think you are better than us?'. Magenta has been ripping off Palace caption style on their own website for a while now, Palace has given them shit for that, all fun and games. But here it just appears mean and gratuitous and - especially considering who they are attacking - that's not a great look. Now I'm all for not giving shit about great looks in skateboarding but I usually like Palace, have defended them on here on countless topics before and now I'm disappointed.
