I doubt he got a permit to shoot at the Grove or wherever the fuck he is, so he wears the headphones and just lip synchs along to the track to make sure some dad doesn't complain about him singing about having sex with Mrs. Claus to security. Which is kinda funny.

Am I the only one on Slap that finds AO insufferable. The dude is like constantly too cool for school, that dude that shows up at a party and doesn’t talk to anyone, or the dude that thinks everything is lame and shits on everything.

This is exactly what Alex Olson would post on SLAP.

Yeah I’m right there with you. I dislike everything about him except a couple of his clips in Fully Flared. Don’t get the hype.

not to be the resident suciu hater or the morality police

but this clip n ad really rubbed me the wrong way

firstly seems mad out of character for him to want this sorta photo, almost feels staged

but if its real, lady on the top step appears to be going through something rough and seems kinda wack to wanna use that in an ad

[Atiba Applebum]

My first thought was that everyone co-existed peacefully in that spot.   Photo alone wouldn’t really have given context to the woman rocking back and forth and some dude chilling on his walker.    It does feel gross, but getting them to move would have been grosser

Lots of pros have footage OVER homeless people. Kader had a clip where he ollied over a random onlooker that wasn't homeless.

Not to mention it being a level challenge for how many Tony Hawk Pro Skater games?

It appears to be a behind the scenes look at his gentrifying process. Honestly I am disgusted.

It's ok to laugh and ignore the suffering of other people as long as you film it.

This just popped up on my insta. His caption really set me off.

Fuck this guy, is he just trying to tick all the "real street skater" boxes? This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

beagle seems like a good guy but some of the homelss explotation is his videos is disgusting and regular.

You politely ask them to move. If they don't want to, you come back later. He's not entitled to use the rail. If he had hit either of them with his board, is he going to take care of ongoing medical treatment? Mark's a fucking dickhead for this.

I guess.   I don’t know the convo he had with the guy in the wheel chair about it and as a pro skater he’s probably pretty used to skating with people beneath him on handrails.   Im not saying he handled it well, im saying for a pro skater he handled it better than others have shown in other situations.

Two possibilities I see here -

1. They wanted the homeless people in the picture to add to the aesthetic, as it is a rather crusty photo even without them.

2. Mark asked them to move and they refused, so he grudgingly opted to do a trick that posed very minimal risk to them.

[SharkJohnson]

its called skating in a big city. people in that condition are everywhere and after a while you become desensitized so he prob didnt think much of it

[shouldn't]

seems obviously staged to me. not saying they aren’t homeless or that she’s not having a rough time, it is an adidas ad though so maybe they offered them some money to stay in the photo. it’s a back noseblunt on an 8 rail.. the dude was kickflipping into that 15 years ago. it’s not groundbreaking by any means for him or anyone, it’s obviously for the aesthetic in my eyes. i agree it’s distasteful and lame, i hate when people shoot the homeless or misfortunate. it would be different if one of them were laying in the corner or something without their face being seen or if it were a trick in an alley with a homeless guy in the background that was stoked or something. not center focus of the photo just right in their face, that’s tacky.

in the actual ad they are on the very edge of the frame and just look like bystanders.   If the BTS video wasn’t available I wouldn’t have known anything about those people).   

[backside_frontside]

Lol some of y’all really just wanna tear Mark down for the most benign shit. How are these people being abused?? And lol at the conspiracy that they are somehow plants paid by Adidas. If people ain’t gonna move they ain’t gonna move. So they’re in the photo who the fuck cares? The trick Mark is trying poses zero risk to them. Skating in a big city comes with interacting with the homeless. Beagle/GX/Sabotage dudes have been 100x worse in regards to filming the homeless but people gush over that shit.

Homeless people existing on film during the spontaneous capture of street skateboarding is not exploiting the homeless.

Major cities pricing everyone out and creating a culture of dependence that does not seek to rehabilitate those that could get back on their feet does exploit the homeless.

People complained about it with that Greco Glass Carousel video too, but it’s probably hard to film anything there without any homeless people in your footage, which is a bigger problem than the footage.  itself.

You can choose to not use the word and that's fine but exploiting homeless people like beagle is a very dumb decision, This youtube channel "tweaker hunters" who bullies and exploits homeless people for a living so people can give them high fives and money is perfect example of how regular these people are, it is the kookiest shit ever and evil.
