Anybody wearing sweatpants. I know it’s totally acceptable these days, but that shit was way too jock when I was coming up. It bums me out to see rad footage of a dude in sweatpants. It’s like wearing them to work or out with your chick or something.

But I’m old so I don’t know what’s cool.

I feel Haslam would be way less gross to watch if he just sized up his pants and shirts and cut his hair. Watching that outfit get tech just seems wrong.

How do you feel about Greco and Boulala’s fits?

Boulala had the best kits in the game.

Also: Dobstaff was exceptionally good but I don't think those tank tops helped his career any.

Both those dudes dress fine. Do you just hate cargo pants? Maybe toms beanie gets annoying but if you’ve ever had long hair it’s kind of necessary to have something holding it out of your eyes to skate.

Cody Mac in tight jeans and toothpick
[close]

I once helped out at the Sheckler foundation event and I saw Cody Mac roll up in his car wearing aviators and a wife beater with a toothpick in his motuh. I sort of knew of him at the time but didn't know at all what he looked like and seeing his kit, i figured he looked like the type of bro that would come to the event strictly to raid the Grizzly booth and the Diamond booth, so i told him that the parking lot that he was in was athlete-parking only, but that he could park on the main street for general parking like everybody else. About half an hour later I saw him inside of the demo do one switch flip on flat, push, and then switch flip down an 11 stair first try and then realized who he was when the announcer announced his name/trick and felt pretty dumb.

TLDR: I thought Cody Mac was some random bro and blew him off
[close]

I met cody mac at Tampa pro 2011, post fedora pre toothpick. He was actually super nice, we were skating the little park thing together and he came up and was like hey I'm Cody and complimented some bullshit I did. No other dudes, especially older pros were as nice. Feel bad for him, if he dressed like a normal skater and not a jock bro I think his career might ha e gone better.

Chris Haslam. Also really nice but you really gonna trust a dude in skinny jeans with a man bun to start a successful company?

cody mac is the most consistent skater i've ever seen in person. i watched him do nollie flip crook nollie flip out at cherry park for a half hour straight. he probably landed 25 in a row, and every single one was bolts. he then went to the bump to hydrant and did like 35 textbook frontside flips.

it made me feel really bad about the trick i was trying

are there any middling mediocre pros whose entire career is owed to great fits though?

He's far from mediocre but John Shanahan definitely got a solid bit of his recognition from his Kalis esque fits. It doesn't hurt he rips too.

I find it hilarious that Cody Mac is on this list cause every clip i see of him he's never wearing a shirt. No kit = bad kit. I once watched a park edit of him and was shocked he wore shirt the entire session, so shocked i made some shitty comment like "the most impressive trick in that edit was him being able to keep his shirt on the whole time". Cody Mac liked my comment and I was hyped.

Shit, I thought this was a skateboarding forum, not Queer Eye for the Supposedly Straight Guy.

Then skateboard-city is your best bet.
