Albert Nyberg? He kinda grew into his style and skates for Sour now, I think.
afaik this swedish guy famous for a huge back of tricks of stuff no-one should ever under any circumstances do was rocking full Elmo gear for years. and for some reason he got a pass.
i forgot his name and have no idea what he is up to now

Someone tries to 1 up Lucas Puig and just starts skating in tighty whiteys and sparks a new trend.

Then we get the cargo underwear.

I'm listening

[Willie]

Working like the 1920’s.

[Doom patrol]

Working like the 1920’s.

Embracing 1920's working culture leads to a rise in spousal abuse as pro's strive for era authenticity.
Daryl Angel hailed for being ahead of his time.

[JANUS]

Railroad chic.

[ok boomer]

Coal miner fashion
Flapper fashion
Vampire capes
Zoom suits
Strap on dildaz

[Eric Dolphy]

The late 90s/early 00s wave will continue. Pants that are shorter than your legs have been fash for so long, maybe wearing pants 6" too long will come back. Mad stacks.

Cuffing/bunching just one leg to mid shin/below the knee
Return of flexfit caps
Peaked beanies
When are visors coming back? Damn my age is showing lol

I once ate shit in a Batman costume because my cape got caught on a wheel.

Tricks the app into thinking your body is part of the background so you're just a head floating in space or a shark tank or whatever

[Billy Bitchcakes]

Or immediately turning to regular when landing a trick fakie, à la BMXers

Xbox will start kicking Sony’s ass in summer 2021 with an onslaught of announced Xbox Gamepass exclusives

[close]

Nah there's no point in Xbox rn. A console is just a really underpowered pc and all Xbox exclusives are coming to win10. That combined with the huge value from the new Nvidia and amd cards = why would anyone even consider buying console?

[ok boomer]

Instead of hugs at the bottom of the stairs, after a "hammer", straight up 69s

[BieberStance]

I can imagine that Berle single-handedly killed the high water pant style and made it unwearable for the next year or so. until now you could get away with not being labeled as a dylan clone, especially with wider cut high water pants. but what Berle delivered was so far too much and out of it that it is probably general nonsense that everyone who is still wearing high water now or just starting wearing them is a complete kook.

imagine a girl or younger skater that startet past the Dylan era coming up to you complimenting you for your fashion choices. But you know they think you idolize Elijah Berle and think you see him as an inspiration.

I was watching That's Life earlier and started to wonder of those boot cut jeans will make a come back.

A few people have mentioned mullets and rat tails, and I agree. Those are already on the upswing and I think we have yet to reach critical mass.

With growing 2000s nostalgia comes the continued rise of related early hipster style.

Boot cut jeans are already on the upswing with LES fashion people, I’m sure they will enter skating again soon.

Could American apparel style V neck shirts be far behind? Sweatbands? White belts? Freddy Krueger striped sweaters? Brown corduroy?

People dressing like vintage Fowler or Greco?

[fredgallSOTY]

im definitely more of a trendy person but i swear to god i will not wear anything from that wretched, wretched time

[cky enthusiast]

wait am i old enough to experience shutter shades twice? that’s fucked

This reminded me of the batch of kids begging for a 2014 Tumblr renaissance on TikTok.

[mj23]

Oh man also I’m surprised people haven’t mentioned masks. Or bandanas. That’s a trend that isn’t going away yet. A nice bandana around the neck goes well with some bootcut jeans and a trucker hat...

And by “nice” I just mean that there is some precedent, not that it actually looks cool

Can't wait for things to settle down and I can get Marana mid cups for 50 bucks.

[Betaphenylethylalamine]

Baggy short cut camo cargos with built in lace waste but waste folded 3 times regardless.

Towards the end of the 2021 SOTY push Gilbert Crockett adds to the trend by painting his own pants with amazing artwork.

Trick of the year is the OWL, which is a pressure flip late backside 180

The year end with it being done down wallenberg with a tow into the ramp and then a slingshot.

Prod makes a documentary about it

I started to wonder about boot cut watching Shimizu. But, Markovich and Fowler are the two other guys who stand out to me as boot cut guys. Can we discuss the terrible fashion choices Greco DID NOT make? All that also got me wondering about bowl cuts because Shimizu had a pretty good one.

I'm not shocked there are hipsters in NYC giving boot cuts a whirl.

And I was thinking about cords too because MJ and Habitat. They make sense in cold weather, but essentially that's wearing curtains as pants.

Golf visors work upside down and to the side with one pant leg rolled up.
Man that was a good era.
