Being a kook 101

[Ziad]

Being a kook 101:

-Mallgrab

-Shop from sports stores and skateshops at malls

-Buy a GoPro and show everyone your POV moves

-Skate to impress girls

-Longboard

-Full safety gear skating street (if you're older than 10)

-Go to a Street League event with a handwritten sign to support your favorite athlete

-Quit skating (no brainer)

-Skate once every couple of months or less (dude I'm a causal skater, no you're a fucking kook)

-Beat up security guards or someone older/weaker (to show your inner rebellious bad boy)

-Pressure flips (each and every variation possible)

-Do drugs (or at least talk about your experience as a pro drug consumer, giving tips, etc..)

-Push mongo

-Benihanna fly outs at your local all day long

-Wax every obstacle in sight (the more wax the better)

-Ask every new kid you meet to play S.K.A.T.E (best way to show your dominance is by winning every game of S.K.A.T.E)

What are other things?

Basically anyone with a superior attitude... Ziad

that’s funny it’s a doormat.

If you’re over 13 you should be ashamed.

[feedmeseymour]

After a quick google search kook is a k-pop Star so that’s cool i guess.

[somedudefromnj]

sometimes I wonder if the kid asking to play skate just desperately needs friends...

poor guy

If you don't want to hear me talk about the mushrooms I've been growing and microdosing while I do backside 50-50 frontside pressure flip outs than simply don't come to any one of the local skateparks I occasionally attend or the mall shop where I buy my brimmed beanies.

[PatoDuck]

There’s this kid who I know who mongo pushes, shops at zumiez, where’s his beanie hella low. The kid turned out to be a sex offender.

[landedprimo]

Someone's looking for attention. How cute.

[Soft Boiled]

I’ll bite. The biggest kook move in 2019 are these jokers that skate in fake, hype-trash sneakers, that make a spectacle of them destroying their fake shoes (sawing them in half, etc), while doing all the trendy no-comply tricks and yo-flips. These dudes have no place in skateboarding, yet have 100k+ followers.
That, along with the Insta-tarts who wear makeup and half-shirts, while barely landing the grossest fakie shove-its ever, make me want to never go to a public skatepark again. Skate Moss, I’m looking at you. You’re inspiring a whole generation of girl clones that make Letecia look like Elissa they’re so bad.

As someone who has an undergraduate degree in Kookonometrics, a graduate degree in Discrete Kookology, and a PhD in Kookospace Engineering, I can assure you with full confidence that you are on the right path but have a lot of kooking to do before you even think about taking the Kookastic Aptitude Test.

[PatoDuck]

I hereby announce Rick Kane as my new favorite pro kook. KonGrats Kook!

 -Skate once every couple of months or less (dude I'm a causal skater, no you're a fucking kook)

been skating for 21 years. i will always be a skateboarder first and foremost. total skate history nerd and all that. recently i haven't been skating much (maybe once or twice a month if I'm lucky) due to the obvious northeastern weather, working every day, and recently some of that good ol' severe depression. does that make me a kook?. all i do when I'm not at work is sit on here and watch vids. it keeps me sane.

-Do drugs (or at least talk about your experience as a pro drug consumer, giving tips, etc..)
 
what the fuck does this even mean?

-Pressure flips

i literally can't comprehend how that trick is done. always wanted to do one

-Shop from sports stores and skateshops at malls

i used to get powell mini logo boards there for 30 bucks. just beautiful blank stained woodgrain.

-Pushing mongo

switch mongo for life.

sorry to get defensive. its been a day and I'm high so i just writing.

i guess my contribution would be like "cool guying" or whatever. the dudes that may or may not ride for your local shop that just act like idiots. making fun of kids learning shit like they never been there before. progression is one of the best parts of skating! some of my favorite people to skate with are people that aren't "good" but you can tell they just love it and want it and progress. gets me stoked.

You'd think Viceland and Thrasher would pay the dude enough to be in a position of buying a better lawnmower.

You'd think Viceland and Thrasher would pay the dude enough to be in a position of buying a better lawnmower, or at least to just hire a landscaping company instead losing your shit in a Home Depot parking lot and filming it for Instagram.

Skating once or twice a month doesn’t make you a kook, especially when life gets in the way.

I hate IG girls. It’s always some look at me bullshit. I don’t even bother looking anymore. I have a fat friend that skates like skate moss (it’s not a compliment)

How to be a kook on Instagram 101:

Wear track pants with Jordan's
Bass boosted distorted trap music
Only land sketchy and slowmo falls
Unnecessary dancing b roll

[juuhnuuh]

Actually using the word KOOK instantly exposes you as a person from Canada* and secondly, it instantly shows that you are a KOOK yourself.

*Not all Canadians are in fact, kooks.
