No, just no.

Like saying Strobeck is mini Pstone.

[jakeumms]

I too am mad about the Pulaski donuts and those Hellraiser Limpies were yucky but I still enjoy watching his footage. His pre and post trick grumpy camera stare down cracks me up.

[beat!]

cause he waxes the floor to do primo slides

[Hoeboi]

hes got a lot of people fooled about his pop with those Oshkosh B' Gosh pants. hi hoebois!

[Dwyck]

I'm not mad about a 6 dollar box of donuts because I'm not into food like that

[superslopp]

do you think he'd be more psyched or bummed on this blossoming thread?

[IcanthelpitImfromMilwaukee]

ben was working as a chef before he made money skating, and even continued working until after hockey ll came out. he’s not a trust fund kid.

The fact that he, as an adult, had a job doesn’t mean he didn’t grow up affluent. Not saying he did or didn’t.

you’re right. i’ve just known ben for a long time. he’s the complete opposite of what these videos and what people who don’t know him portray him to be. granted, i haven’t seen or spoken to him in a while so what the fuck do i know. he was really tight when he’d come out to la though.

OP,

Try asking yourself: “What would it take for me to like Ben Kadow?”. This may be a more efficacious method for obtaining the knowledge you desire.

Shalom

psyched for sure.  Easy to love the hate when you're caked up in Supreme money.  Selling product alone must be literally a joke for these people, one jacket for 400 bucks?  NY living baby

[slappies]

I remember there was a time around the release of \m/ when he had that part where he slappied the top stair at El Toro when people on here were really stoked on him, up through the release of Cherry too.

I still like his footage, his skate footage that is. I could do without any sort of lifestyle, B-Roll, shenanigans though. I think it's pretty clear he's joking around with his "antics"...but the joke just isn't as funny as he seems to think it is.

The current iteration of Ben Kadow dresses how my Aunt's ex-husband who really loves model trains did in 2003 when he was going somewhere he thought was fancy.

He rocked infest and Spazz shirts?

No.  It's the bad hair and poorly fitting dress shirts.

more like Ken BADOW!

Haven't liked him since he scrapped with Chachi, for no reason (other than maybe because Chachi is Mexican).  Kid comes from money. Any of you pretending like he was providing for himself off some "kitchen job" are fucking comedians. I don't give a shit how he dresses. But the fact remains his style is shit and his skating is overrated.

His mum runs a bakery i dont think they're that well off, also thats beside the point i know many rich kids who cant skate for shit

[HisDudest]

Hating a kid that skates well, skates crusty hard to skate spots, worked well into being a sponsored skater and is on some of the most succesful skatebrands?

That is YOUR problem, not his.

Sure he has a 'personality', but I can't hate on a kid that looks a little different.
Isn't that what skating is about anyway? In the 80's this would be a regular skatekid.

Go hate on Jassen Jesse, Danny Way, Nyjah.



Pieces of shit that actually did shit wrong...
(Racism, homophobia, rape, sexism...)

What about the fact that Jassen Jesse, Danny Way and Nyjah are actually really fucking good at skating and Ben sucks?

[HisDudest]

OP, I think you hate Ben Kadow so much because he is the manifestation of a challenge to your id, i.e., your primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories.

Dude you are so fucking gay and not funny, ever

[Fred Savage]

Op you are a hater. That is why you hate. Find some joy in life man.

[The Ghost of Lenny Kirk]

whats bums me out about him isnt his clothes, but that he had this bashy, power skating style that felt like it was developing into something really special. and instead of taking that to the next level, he decides to do freestyle tricks in lines? its like ok, whatever dude. if i wanted to watch a magenta video id just watch a magenta video, not blessed.

I like Ben K now and don’t mind whatever it is he’s doing these days but I also find myself wondering what his skating would be like today had he not had the supreme connection. His old parts are still so good.

the few times i've met/hung with him he has been really nice and polite, and just kind of goofy. some sort of social awkwardness exists there. fuck it, i back him for sure.
