Does Suciu have a mathematics degree or what?

Pretty sure he focused on design considering he went to Parsons after temple. Although, a lot of what he talks about is obviously applicable to concepts in design.

Absolutely looking forward to this. Hopefully when his career is over, he'll open The Mark Suciu Center for Skaters Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.

5 pages and no video

there is no video. It's a conceptual work and mark decided that there no point in doing these lines he talks about because he already imagined them; as he wants you to imagine them.

True, I saw he did Parsons Paris, which is an extension of the New School. Parsons is the design school associated with The New School.

Oh no!
More skaters with an education.
That’s really bad and quite pretentious.

That 3 paragraph preface to a fucking video part is embarrassing...I can't believe someone had that printed out at displayed. That said this part should be good and I'm looking forward to it.

If you think writing about skateboarding is embarrassing I hope you thinking filming skateboarding is utterly mortifying.

Pretty funny how shook people are about someone actually thinking about and planning their video part and then writing less than a page describing the process behind it.

Pretentious? Homie is one of the top pros in the game and he premiered it at his local skate shop.

It's the presentation that's pretentious. That design is intended to resemble an art exhibition. Every good skater 'actually thinks about and plans their video part' and won't write anything about it not because they can't, but because the point is letting the skating do the talking. Which Suciu's definitely can.

I'm interested in this though, I'm interested in Suciu's skating. But the whole pseudo-intellectual persona he's trying to pull has been making me cringe lately (and I've been patient for years to see how far he would take it). Only in skateboarding can one think they've reached the greatest echelon of humanity for going to college.

I like the idea of breaking the norm of skate video screenings and exploring different possibilities in presentation, too, why the fuck not. But as an aesthetic, this is easy and cheap in addition to not making much sense (besides aligning with a marketing gimmick). Ah well I guess the shop guys had fun with it.

whose fault is that?
[close]

also, it's just plain awesome to know skaters like Suciu and Alexis (whose MIT brag points outweigh Suciu's) (and others) can do both college and the professional skate path. yea sure, for those who have gone to college or are autodidacts in subjects, Suciu's opinions may seem pretty vanilla when compared to the average student, but that's just it, it's not as common within skateboarding. also, as Kyle Beachy once admitted on the Vent (which took guts to admit), I think a lot of high-educated skateboarders feel a bit threatened when other skateboarders (especially those who are "better" at skateboarding) are well educated

This dude is such a kook. Forcing yourself onto skateboarding through your intellect because your skills were never remarkable enough in their own right.

Studying something because you’re interested in it should be encouraged. Studying shit because it’s lucrative is what is poisoning our world. I’m glad Suciu studied literature over some trade school plumbing bullshit. He’s already made it, who fucking cares?

I wish I had skate homies like Mark. I’ve fallen off as I’ve gotten older because having a beer with a skate rat not interested in anything but skateboarding isn’t all that fucking interesting.

That symetry argument is just another excuse for him to tell us once more about how we went to college tu study French literature.

You don't have to refer to verse patterns to explain mirror lines to skateboarders. Ask Creager or Arto.

This. I've definitely met plenty of great people through skating, but so many skaters are idiots that I can't really stand to be around if we're not skating.

Guys, there's a world, a real world, where you could work a trade, or construction, or in a bar, or for FedEx, or at HomeDepot, or be a doctor or a McDonalds cashier, AND still like reading literature. Hell, you might even try and write something sometimes.

You can be a regular Joe who's capable of smart thinking and good conversation.

But maybe don't expect a 19 year old skate rat with no life experience to be someone you want to chat breeze with.

Getting a degree in America is insane. Learning is to be admired, especially learning more about what interests and matters to you, but paying enough money to buy a small house for that privilege is plain stupid. You do it because you can, or your parents can, but there's no way you should.

I'm all for degrees, I have one and I'd quite like to do a masters one day, but I recognize that being a plumber is probably a smarter move. For me and for the rest of humanity.

Now going to business school with the aim to be a pharmaceutical CEO on the other hand...
