the Bunt is back

[Dark Knight]

Am I the only one who didn’t particularly like this episode. Everything is “the most fucked ever” or “soo fucking insane” etc. and his stories either weren’t interesting or just told really poorly. For a guy who gets paid to write, seems like he doesn’t really have great vocabulary

If you use the term “wet/wettest ” to describe something good you lost me, pal.

I’m sure I am just an idiot and can google this shit, but what is the historical relevance of said island?

[close]

It was historically the biggest point of entry for immigrants… uhhh… immigrating into the US through New York until the 1950’s. Now it’s a federally owned island meaning you aren’t dealing with city cops but quite literally the feds.

Because although the only way to get to it is through NYC, meaning a lot of people initially assume that it is, it’s not owned by NYC. I grew up skating a little park on something mildly similar, a small county owned island that was a metro park that wasn’t part of the city it connected to.

I’ve only known of it being called Ellis Island, not Roosevelt Island thanks for the clarification.

Two different islands. Dunno how Ellis wound up in the mix, but here’s an overview of each:

Ellis


Roosevelt

Seemed kind of out of character for them to move on so quickly after Manchild was brought up again.



Manchild season finale confirmed?

[close]

I know in the Vincent Alvarez episode, he  tried calling them out on talking about Manchild so I thought they were maybe trying to avoid more of his homies trying to defend him again or something related

[close]

Didn’t they drag the shit out of manchild after he was being a drunken douche at some contest they judged a few years back. Like he caused a whole ass scene and was interrupting peoples runs. I think that was them.

[close]

They handled it really well in the moment. From what I recall Cephas owned up to calling Manchild a kook, but saying his skating got improved. And Vincent kept saying “he’s still growing up, we all are,” and nervous laughing. Also, I don’t think Vincent was properly informed on what went down initially, and if you can’t own that your friend is a drunken asshole no one wants around then that’s on you.. worth a listen, it’s the tail end of the interview.

can’t imagine sticking my neck out for someone named manchild. It’s in the name.
Also most of the Alvarez’z I know are either locked up or on some type of opiate.

I compared the two cause the only way to get onto Ellis through that bridge is with special permission where Roosevelt is open to the public. I think people even live there?

 Seeing the photo Vs the story I feel like
Lui might have embellished the hell out of their escape, again seems like something you should’ve just taken the ticket for. Story’s funnier with Tyshawn just going back and doing it for the gram and jenkem having posted not one but separate videos of them hitting that spot.

Don't know about you but it always occurred to me that Benny Fairfax would be the type of guy that doesn't cheat and likes to use outdated technology

Jake Hayes interview is up

[the canadian suit]

Yo @doublesteveburger I got so much joy listening to the post office this week. A perfect little kiss of slap, loved hearing their answers!!

[childhood]

Oh damn, listened to the interview, but not the P.O. yet

Speaking of SLAP stuff, is this the first time Cassette Skateshop got mentioned on there, or just the first time I noticed it?

[Paul Cicero]

Maybe Burman for the season finale?! - barns will be burned!

Think it was mentioned first time last episode or the one before.  Definitely nice to hear that one. Also Burman could be a banger as last episode

Burman would be a great one for sure.

Dane Rapid Fire would be heavy. Within the Aus scene he’s a known asshole.

First mention I heard was during the Lee Smith episode. I definitely freaked the fuck out for a minute. I never thought in a million years. THANKS BUNT BOYZ!

[jgonzalez]

If you don’t mind me asking, how does it work getting your shop mentioned? Did you do anything? I figured the advertiser provides the list of shops to mention. With that said, skaters seem to have mental maps of skateshops on a local and global scale and the Bunt is very knowledgeable on the culture. I mean, the fact that cassette is a local shop I’m already a fan. Ingrained in our culture to support each other.

Minor gripe, whenever they mention 510 skateshop they say “five ten skateshop” when everyone says “five one oh skateshop” lol. Minor detail but I have to think twice about what shop they’re talking about.

Reynolds episode needs to be 2-3 hours long if it happens.

I have no idea how that works.I had no idea or influence.  Probably just a list and they pick a few?

[j....soy.....]

I think the sponsors or the distros send the list…..in Canada at least my guess is the distros send the names….the shops don’t pay for it…

Just finished the Jake Hayes episode. Strange the boys hadn’t heard of Luke Croker before. Coming up in Melbourne him and Lewis Marnell were the dudes.

[GauchoAmigo]

I went back and listened to Jerry Hsu's episode the other night and Dono talked about having a date with his ex three weeks from that episode to try to win her back....did he? Living happily ever after?

thanks for sharing! I remember being so hyped seeing him in Gravis kicks and it seemed like he disappeared after that part

[Sidewalk Funk.]

Watched that Luke Croker part so many times back when it got uploaded to YouTube. I found his skating to be really refreshing in that 2010s period of skating. Song and filming were great too.

Luke was so sick.  The last thing I saw from him was this instagram clip a few years ago

[jdholmes]

Damn, was hoping for a banger Canadian skater or something to end the season off. Theres always next season.
