Dr.Purpleteeth-style filming is far worse than anything Ty Evans ever did wrong.

More focus needs to be put onto the skateboarding sounds in videos. It really makes a big difference in my enjoyment of the video.

Agreed. I've seen a lot of edits that have GoPro footage or footage with bad mics that make the sounds almost inaudible. GoPro footage shouldn't belong in regular skate videos.

Fully agree. Also, not a fan of being able to see the bottom of someone's board when they're just rolling on flat. You get that a lot with go pro edits.

I think a lot of baggy pants are going way overboard and in a couple years some people are gonna look back and be very embarrassed of their footy.

Gonz’s art and skating (now) sucks. He is overdone

I've never liked his art or poetry/fiction. His skating was and is still amazing, though, granted the current stuff is great for his age. Still tons of style and imagination.

Fully agree. Been seeing many young guys wearing goofy-boy pants. We regret it. They will regret it. But they are having fun now just like we did in the early 90s so whatever. However, it gives me a good chuckle to see kids grasp onto old fashion trends that are so obviously gross.

His footy in the first hockey video was great. Haven't been too impressed since.

They seem to be well received on here. But I personally think Heroin skateboards is one of the worst companies out.

one of the more geniune unpopular opinion here.
man theyve got some amazing riders and their last 2 projects were real good. Also gou, deaddave, timpson.


I'll say that I got second hand embarrassment watching Gou skate and I think he set Japanese skating back 10 years with all the copycats that popped up after. His skating reminds me of a dad trying to pull faces to make their kid laugh.

Big baggy cargo pants that are above ankles, Chuck Taylors, small beanie, mustache, and a shaped board.

Funny thing for me is I don’t really like footy of me wearing slimmer/fitted pants.
I wore baggy jeans all my life until I was 25 and I found Marc Johnson slim fit matix jeans at Burlington coat factory. I ended up liking them and wore fitted pants for about 4-5 years.
For me personally, wearing baggy pants (And puffy shoes) again is more of a return to form for me and just feels like home.

I should clarify that I don't mean baggy pants in general. I mean specifically people going WAY too big just to make it some kinda contest or something. I've seen clips where it just looks like they're wearing snowboard pants that are sized up. I saw a clip of pretty scrawny kid wearing size 60 Dickies. He looked ridiculous. I wear fairly baggy pants when I skate these days but I feel like some people I see on IG would have even been laughed out of the early 90's with some of their fits, haha.

i once saw him filming in person. He got exactly as obnoxiously close to the skaters and in the way of their tricks as everyone would expect.
If I would be a pro skater, I´d refuse to deal with that.

The only legit cargos are baggy. Skinny cargo pants are the worst! Like, you can't even fit anything in the pockets.

Ronnie Craeger 1997, that is the fit you want:

Everything but the name. That is the worst fucking name of a skate brand ever, so fuckin wack and cheesy. Like we don't have crack pipe wheel co or whtever. Idk I like the art, the skaters, and the videos but fucking hell that name is a problem for me. Whiny rant about a bad name over.
No gou? Come now. That shit is pretty cool, and he seems like a genuine cat with a refreshing eye on skating. Do you also think osaka daggers are wack? I mean evisen seems to be doing fine, and set back ten years? Idk.
Whoa. Danger.

Anthony Hawkins is completely out to lunch with all the renaming of tricks in his game.
...made them change SMITH GRIND to MONTY GRIND.

NOBODY calls it a monty grind anymore, trick names evolve over time and dude is wrong.
