2020 unpopular opinion thread

[ziggy]

Bake and Destroy was the 2010s Baker 3

I don’t even remember it. The Deathwish video was way more memorable to me

[SneakySecrets]

Raisins don't belong in trail mix. In fact, fuck raisins altogether. Oh, you like raisins? You geriatric no taste having motherfucker. I bet you think that linoleum tile in your piece of shit apartment looks good too huh? If I had a time machine I would skip killing Hitler and go straight for the absolute human paraquat that thought throwing dried up grapes into a cookie was a good idea. You ever bite into a "chocolate chip" cookie and it ends up being filled with those sorry ass chinchilla ballsacks instead? If you haven't then you haven't experienced true disappointment in your life.   

Dude I feel you.  Never met a raisin that I liked.    Except for the California Raisins... they were alright.

Mikey Taylor is actually a great person and is a better role model than your favorite skater

Which one of his properties do you manage.  Seriously my nanny needs a place

[ndsr]

Jake Phelps was aweful and skateboarding is better without him.  Phill Shao could have made the mag legendary.  Thanks for the shirts Tony, you’ve made your father proud

He manage them two spots; Centennial Skatepark in Santa Ana (nobody, absolutely NOBODY rides without the big fish’s say so,) and the Anklet Emporium over on East 4th, near the Market.
Hit him up if you want to skate at the park, or pretty up your hooves with some electro-plated chain.

Of the skaters in the original THPS, Bucky Lasek is probably the least kookish of them all now

I don't understand why AVE has a SOTY. His part in DC video was cool but that came out in 2003. I don't think I heard his name since then until he won. IMO he is nowhere near as iconic as Heath or as talented as Herman, neither of which have a SOTY..

[close]

agree with this. i forget who got beat out with his lifetime achievement award but remember being bummed about it

[close]

Didn't Propeller come out that year?

[close]

there were a fuck load of people that deserved it more than ave that year looking back: https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/soty-2015-finalists/

i mean ishod, o'neill,  jah, joslin, silvas, etc... ave is sick but all these guys threw down way harder

[close]

Joslin deserved it like 3 different times.

[close]

Joslin will get it one of these years

You think loyal brave true Joslin will get it when Mark Gonzales has never won it?

If you think chris "empty shell" joslin should've won soty something is not working in your brain

2020 is so awesome. Fuck yea. This year has been going just swimmingly for me, and I think the entire world.

Same here. I've been collecting those fat unemployment checks since March. With COVID around, people don't come to Santa Ana park. I saw rockstar chuggin Joslin at Tustin Legacy Park the other day. Really contemplating taking over Tustin's park also, tired of anti-vaxers ruining my sesh.

Serious sandwich question, bread of choice,   Best veggie trinity and meat/ sauce combo
I’m going sourdough, onion, lettuce, orange pepper, sour cream horseradish bbq with thinly sliced pastrami

[Billy Bitchcakes]

People who skate that bank to ledge along the train tracks when a train is going past are fucking idiots. There's nothing cool about it, slip out and you're going to get sucked under a train and mangled to pieces

Reynolds yo, put some respek on the boss' name.

I lost my taste for turkey, to keep from breaking my Gramma’s heart I eat it at thanksgiving.  My gramma is Midwest as fuck so there is always ham as well.  I only like chicken on the yardbird side of life.  ❤️ You gramma!

I came across his youtube channel and actually enjoyed his Subie build series

[Technique]

since we’re on the topic..
Generic supermarket brand products are superior to brand name ones.

[JamesFardy]

Reynolds should have gone to DC. They can afford with tfunk gone.

[friendly dave]

Pontus' shoes just look like Simples, and if they are getting more ethically manufactured, that's rad but, otherwise I don't get the hype.

Reynolds yo, put some respek on the boss' name.

The white dude who called Gershon the n-word, created a brand that's taken more from black culture than literally anyone else, and then, years later, did piss all during the biggest social uprising movement of his lifetime? Nah, Reynolds is not beyond reproach. For what it's worth, my answer is Elissa or Rodney.

Also, Chris Joslin sucks a copious amount of ass. His style is terrible and he represents everything wrong with modern day skateboarding. I harshly judge anyone who's older than fifteen or so and claims to be a fan.

If you make sweeping judgements about other people based on who they like to watch skateboard, you’re probably not much older than 15. Or you’re mentally stuck at 15 lol. I’m sorry dudes risking their life is more interesting/impressive to me than suciu doing a switch Ollie over a manhole. Joslins a super respectful guy too. The real problem with modern day skating is all the bitching and complaining, which you embody perfectly.
