Probably on my own here but Quasi feels a lot more too cool for school than FA or Hockey does, and this is coming from someone who is a fan of Quasi. An impossible team to get on for some strangely bizarre reasons (too many Regular footed skaters) and a TM & Filmer who make fun of their fans for being disappointed with their video content.

Hannah Tallman was just added to their team recently. I get the impression that they're going for exclusivity as opposed to the cool guy vibes that FA/Hockey are known for. The whole regular footed thing makes sense with Tyler Bledsoe being the only goofy footed person on their team that I can think of. What's the story with TM & filmer making fun of their fans?

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Dill the "artist"? I thought not. It's not a story the slap boards would tell you. It's an east coast legend. Dill was a Dark Lord of the Workshop, so powerful and so trendy he could use media to influence the hypebeasts to create money... He had such a knowledge of street fashion that he could even keep the ones he cared about from looking like kooks. The dark side of skateboarding is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his clout, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice left FA in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from kookery, but not himself.
Bravo for invoking Plagueis the Wise.
Clearly, the spirit of Hego Damask II is alive in you.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Fucking Awesome. The graphics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Aesthetics the graphics will go over a typical skater's head. There's also Dill's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these graphics, to realize that they're not just cool- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Fucking Awesome truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the beauty in Fucking Awesome’s existential skate film "Randy Farkus" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Aidan Mackey's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Fucking Awesome tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

lol you act like they invented their style of art. 99% of their style, especially Hockey, is just cut-n-paste style work ala punk/hardcore/zine/flyer culture.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about Fucking Awesome, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Supreme LA, and I've been involved in numerous filming missions with Strobeck, and I have over 300 confirmed slappies. I am trained in trendy tricks and I'm the top hill bomber in the entire country. You are nothing to me but just another poser. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit about FA over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of big boy wearers across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can slappy you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my Caliber III's. Not only am I extensively trained in slappy grinds, but I have access to the entire arsenal of No Comply variations and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
The only appropriate reaction.

FA should just poach Troy Gipson from Big Billiam.

They all have boards coming out soon, and even a new Dylan board (the photo of him laying down on the embankment that Dill took)


But yes, who?

Which photo is that? Doesn't ring a bell

not sure if its just the fact that where i am at is semi-close to where Quasi is out of but but Quasi is definitely the 'cool guy' scene around here. whats amusing is everyone around here that jocks their shit and skates their boards talk so much shit on the quality of their boards tho

I saw Jason Dill at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

whats the context for this story? Is it true or did you  hairball it up out of nowhere for shits n gigs? Its hard to tell on here
[close]

Jason Dill is the reason I work out. I have this fantasy where we start talking at the Play Dead after party. We exchange a few pleasantries. He asks what I do. I say I loved him on The Nine Club. He laughs. I get my drink.
"Well, see ya," I say and walk away. I've got his attention now. How many guys voluntarily leave a conversation with Jason Dill? He touches his neck as he watches me leave.
Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, he finds me on the balcony, my bowtie undone, smoking a cigarette.
"Got a spare?" he asks.
"What's in it for me?" I say as I hand him one of my little white ladies. He smiles.
"Conversation with me, duh."
I laugh.
"What's so funny?" he protests.
"Nothing, nothing... It's just... don't you grow tired of the egos?"
"You get used to it," he says, lighting his cigarette and handing me back the lighter.
"What would you do if you weren't an artist?" I ask.
"Teaching, I think."
"And if I was your student, what would I be learning?"
"Discipline," he says quickly, looking up into my eyes, before changing the subject. "Where are you from?"
"Mexico" I say.
"Oh wow. That's lovely."
"It's OK," I admit. "Not everything is to my liking."
"What could possibly be not to your liking in Mexico?" he inquires.
"I don't like sand," I tell her. "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."
Dill & girl go out to drive under moonlight. they stop at on at a side of road. he turn to his girl and say: "baby, i love you very much" "what is it honey?" "our car is broken down. i think the engine is broken, ill walk and get some more fuel." "ok. ill stay here and look after our stereo. there have been news report of steres being stolen." "good idea. keep the doors locked no matter what. i love you sweaty"
So the Dill left to get full for the car. after two hours the girl say "where is my baby, he was supposed to be back by now". then the girl here a scratching sound and a voice say "LET ME IN"
The girl doesn't do it and then after a while she goes to sleep. the next morning she wakes up and finds her boyfriend still not there. she gets out to check and Dill door hand hook car door.

I mean they’ve always used BBS right? How can you complain about the quality of boards because you don’t like the shape? If you don’t like the shape then just don’t buy them?

They've always used ps stix and only just recently started mixing in some bbs boards. Everybody complains about ps stix wood but the shapes are good. So yeah loving quasi but hating their wood is pretty common.

Mb, I have poor reading comprehension and information processing skills from doing too much synthetic acid in highschool, I thought we were talking about FA. I’m happy to make it up to you with a vigorous suckjob if you’re interested.

I’ve ridden a few of the BBS Quasi boards over the last year or two. They skate great. Shape is really similar to an FA with slightly mellower kicks and concave.
