the Bunt is back

[Dark Knight]

I feel that switching to the YouTube side of things will cause a lot of people to hold their tongues. It’d be cool to go back with old episodes with the clips they refer to…

[somedudefromnj]

Manual to frontside flip seems absolutely impossible. Always liked his Skate More part too, pretty sure when I was on the All My Skate Videos pod we all agreed Jeron’s part was one of the better aging parts.

Skate More was one of the first videos I saw that, and seeing dude at a Matix demo solidified his legend status for me

KB best ep

[pugmaster]

Chico is getting better with age. He is ripping harder than ever.

[CarcassToss]

This made me think about when parts started being placed more strategically in videos. We often think first part means something now, but when did it become that way? Last part of course makes sense as a finale and I have nothing to prove this but I remember ffwding through a lot of first parts (including Goldfish).

Man I am so fucking tired of non-answers in the rapid fire. I understand having an ongoing career and not trying to ruffle feathers in the industry but Jesus fucking christ at least throw out a softball answer like Monsanto for worst company or name one that doesn't exist anymore? You're telling me you can't say "posers" for worst style or some shit??? I hate it when people are like "bad vibes" or "cops" for last person on the sesh but at least it's a fucking answer goddamn. I'm never one to complain about things being too soft bc that's venturing into old man yells at cloud territory but it honestly has felt soft as baby shit lately.

Sorry for the rant, Ish interview was good otherwise aside from feeling too short, he seems like a really funny guy and I wish they got more out of him.

Gonna listen to the rest of the episode now.

EDIT: Cephas going "I can hear you from the other room bitch nigga" is one of the funniest things he's ever said on the pod oh my fucking GOD

"Old man yells at a cloud" territory hahaha. Never heard that before and lol'ing right now.

I’d guess first part said something major after Questionable?

But also even Video Days starts out with a bang

Binge watched all the Random Skater of The Weeks last night looking for this, Cepha winning is like hitting the jackpot on a slot machine, explosive. I wanna see him win more just to see his reactions, he's that guy that you lose against at something and then makes you wanna cry with his victory dance. I can't imagine how many times D Jones has had to put him in a headlock over the years. Bunt is the fucking best. The Ted and Alba episodes were so good.

Maybe this is better for the unpopular opinions of 2024 thread but until the Nine Club I honestly don't think anyone really cared about Jeron's skating all that much. He was always good and had clips in videos, but it's not like people were waiting for a Jeron part like they would for other skaters that came up in the same period. He always struck me as a better version of Daniel Castillo in that regard. You never went to a shop hoping you could get the new Jeron deck or something. Now that we see the human side of him we elevate his footage way more than we would have in the past.

I feel like this was the same way for Chico. When he started riding shapes boards and posting on Instagram a lot, it really raised his profile. Before that, he was kind of a bench warmer for chocolate. I’m not saying he wasn’t talented, but he was never looked at in the same realm as Kenny/mj/keenan/gino/sj. I think people are more stoked that he was killing it so hard well into his 40’s

[close]

He had a pretty big cool guy profile in the 90s

[close]

Jeron came out really strong in the early 90s, that intro line in the Plan B friends section may seem like nothing now but we were like woah this little kid is super good and consistent, his output in that era was pretty nutty too, the friend section ,he had an FTC part (first video part with an r&B song) he had a 411 check out and full parts in all the early crailgap videos, I think Jeron was just overshadowed by being on a team that big with Koston, Mariana, Carroll, Howard and everyone else. He's a person that would be a bigger deal had he been on a smaller team, seems like he's totally cool with where he landed so it doesn't matter. Jeron from 93-97ish was a huge deal, dude did a switch varial heel flip over an LA table  and switch nose grind 180 on a handrail.

[close]

I think that Jeron had first part in the bLind section of Virtual Reality, FTC Finally, Goldfish, Mouse, and the Girl section in Las Nueve Vidas De Paco all for a reason. From 93-97 he was killing it. After that I think he was much more low key but 4 years is not a bad run at all. Plus he had some standout clips in the Yeah Right montage. The manual to fs flip out at USC, the two switch tricks over the grate at Flushing Meadows, and the switch 360 flip off the propped up tile over the can were lovely.

Jeron is a legend, but it's sort of hard to standout when you are on a team with Guy, Koston, Carroll, and Rickk, plus the guys who were already pro when Girl started (Javontae, Sheffy and Gavin) but didn't stack that much footage for Girl. He had a helluva a run, and then bounced back for a nice little second run post with his Skate More part, assorted footage and a nice send off in that shared Pretty Sweet part with Jeron (compared to most of the OG's outside Guy, he probably had the most footage outside Chico).

I think it was Dill on the Nine club pre-Jeron being on it, saying something like when he was turned pro for 101 he couldn't believe it because Jeron was still am. Jeron is the first person I believe Crail ever turned pro, which is pretty legendary given the history of those brands.

Since Jeron is a Lakers fan, being behind guys like Koston, Guy, Carroll, Rickk, and even later additions like McCrank and BA (of long time riders), is sort of like James Worthy being overshadowed in Lakers history by Wilt, Jerry West, Kobe, Shaq, Lebron, Elgin Baylor, Kareem and Magic etc. Still a legend. I'd also Jeron never felt like homie flow like Castillo. Dude earned his pro spot on arguably the most stacked team of that era.

[pizzafliptofakie]

oof 

[rawbertson.]

oof 

these guys are fucken clueless  they probably dont even know about the 10k a month

[backside_frontside]

oof 

Was he with that Baby Scumbag dude that did some sketchy shit? If so yikes. The guests have been very meh this season and kinda last season too.

[rawbertson.]

[Mean salto]

Anyone got a time for when this was from? Funny Jeron was saying a way they fucked up with diamond footwear was by paying everyone way too much at 10k

[blurst_of_times]

[Coastal Fever]

Wtf, the Beamers got them bois wylin.

[rawbertson.]

was about 10 years ago
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=83149.75;wap2

there was a jenkem interview with him that they deleted that they took right after the 10k a month thing
cause then after that the pedo stuff came in 2015

https://www.tmz.com/2015/12/17/youtube-steven-fernandez-arrested/

not sure how anyone doesnt know about this / why anyone fucks with this loser. i love his skating too its such a shame. Clyde singleton was fuckin with him too, tons of people. that hyphenate guy just did an interview with him. seems like he is trying to get back into the game, hes claiming all this stuff is false against him. i just dont buy it. people dont just accuse you of all that shit for no reason and no one had any reason to make up that 10k a month text.

[Troubadour26]

I feel like Keelan is a perfect Bunt candidate. Can’t wait to listen to this one and seethe.

[PAWL]

wow, they must have not done the research for this one. whos next jason jessee?

[backspinflip]

I'm as surprised as anyone Keelan is the next guest but you guys a fried if you think cephas and don don't know about the money not being enough, the allegations and the honey fiasco. this is going to make for some good pod.

also pretty sure Keelan was never found guilty along side baby scumbag and that burgs dude. He definitely gave off some strange energy though. hopefully the bunt dudes ask some hard questions and don't just accept some vague Nyjah style explanation

Also incoming thread from that german guilt dude trying to cancel the bunt. Gunna be up in Vans DM's asking for accountability

A case being dismissed and a "not guilty" verdict are two very different things.

[Shitbag]

Keelan part Amish, can confirm, big ol barn being built tomorrow.

Strange that the Bunt boys lurk heavy on here and seemingly don’t know about the allegations, or do they?
All you have to do is google the guy’s name , you don’t even have to add “arrested” and you can read all about the charges.
Think they’ll bring it up at all?
Rapid fire should be interesting.

Fingers crossed for a Gator ep next. Step inside studio E from the joint.
