Pretty much all of them are too try-hard for my taste, but the "politically conscious" subculture that popped up during Trump is particularly bad. I'm talking both sides of it too, from the "dead babies in the vaccines cause autism" idiots to Koston & Jim T making "Trump's racist" boards, it's all uneducated pseudo-intellectualgarbage from highschool drop outs. They're trying to tackle a subject they're completely ignorant of, and I'd rather they stuck to skateboarding.

Seriously, I follow skateboarding to get away from the monotony of the news cycle, and I'd rather that skateboarding be the one thing that doesn't become tainted from the back and forth nonsense of relentlessly streamed fodder...

i get what you mean but between this and name checking voltaire on a Skateboarding Website i think some self reflection might be in order

I'm saying I don't like it, but I'm not saying they shouldn't do whatever they want. Unlike you guys, I'd rather just choose not to indulge when they market some shit I don't like & hope the rest of skateboarding follows suit, subsequently stopping as a result. I guess I'm not the only one who wasn't feeling it, especially considering that Numbers is still sitting on a fuck ton of those boards and they're pretty much out of business, that's the way the market lets people know that their ideas suck in the best way possible..

when i don’t indulge stuff i don’t like, i tend to keep quiet about it. you do you though, you seem really smart

OP sounds like a Republican that likes Rage Against the Machine.

And if anybody has one of those pseudo-intellectual Real Trump clown boards let can let go a decent price PM me. $500 on eBay ain’t happening.

Best Trump graphic ever was an Antihero Trujillo that came out while Trump was still in the primaries for the 2016 election.

It’s a picture of Shiva holding Trumps severed head, wearing a necklace of GOP leaders, standing on burning cop cars and severing a drone in two with one of her arms.

I have it on my wall and it always makes me smile.

"Best Trump graphic ever..."  Why? How?

You don’t understand why someone would make a political graphic with a president on it?

I guess, maybe if I was gonna skate it, or got it free, but why waste a graphic on that? I have no idea why you put it on your wall unless you're just an asshole. Nobody wants to look at that. It's a waste of money.

Hi Sk8bat,

I don't hang out/skate with enough people to hate any subculture and other than the videos I watched as a kid and rewatch now, SLAP is pretty much the only skateboarding media I consume, so I can't get on the true hate train, but I get tripped up seeing people (not just skateboarders) like 25 and under wearing clothes that look they were stolen from some 90s gap ad or something- almost grunge looking but probably really expensive. Fake work clothes.  I see these girls wearing mumus and shit like my fat ass wheel chair bound great grandmother wore while she was ripping butts and heckling neighborhood kids for walking while black. Look, I'm tattooed as a motherfucker and used to get my ass whipped for being a punk or whatever and looking like an idiot, and I've been wearing pretty much the same style clothes for half my life now, so I'm tuned into the notion of wearing what you like because it makes you feel right and helps identify with your group, but the stupid fashion for the sake of fashion, no culture whatsoever other than what is marketed on the BIG marketing level bums me out, especially when its ugly as fuck.

I can't stand the Strobeck Zoomies movement that overdoes mid trick zoom into shoes and face and sacrificing the actual footage while obscuring half the human body. It's ok sometimes but I was watching Cheap Perfume and the only clean shots were wide angle lens lines. C'mon man.
Zoomies be all:

She went full margaritaville fr. Theres basically motor autism social and intelligence and people can get 2 of them sometimes. Each one can be less or exceed what a average person has. At first i thought he was trolling in general but he prob just has the type of autism where he cant get along with people but his dice roll came with minus intelligence points. So if this was dungeons and dragons he would not be a troll but more like a regular goblin with a lizzie armanto board hes clubbing rats with for next to no xp. Or his mom fed him whiskey for the first 3 years

[Tyrone Slothrop]

The local fake tough guys that aren't secure with themselves enough to be nice to other skaters.

[Banned from the room]

The asshole who steals obstacles from little parks and the DIY.

That rail was all those kids had to skate/bike/blade/scoot/stand in front of on you.

I believe that the theft/destruction of our ramps/parks/brickhouse as in the 90s and 00s contributed to the opioid death rate in our area.

Think about that next time you rip something out the park.

[chris]

people who skate with their crew all the time and they have couple of full length videos and hundreds instagram and yt edits. But always doing the same tricks and never progress or think about doing something new because they always get props from the crew.
when they roll to the park you know what each of them is going to do and they don't stop until their routine is done.
feel sorry for those people because it seems like the are stuck and don't know any better and the worst part is they don't seem to enjoy it..sad

Sounds like you skate alone. Most of them are having fun, or else they wouldn't be doing it. But everybody is gay but you, ignore this comment

Has the meaning of subculture changed? I'm seeing almost no subcultures being mentioned in this thread. It's just people listing things they don't like about other skaters.

Word to that. Also -

People that enjoy skate videos. It's just a marketing scheme to promote the company that puts the video out and all you little sheep are falling for it

People that watch sports. It's just a marketing scheme to sell tickets, TV rights and merchandise and all you little sheep are falling for it

People that listen to music. It's just a marketing scheme to get you to pay for that music and all you little sheep are falling for it

It's gotta be the Instagram park edit people for me. Most of em are kids so I sort of get it, but it still sucks.

Can't stand slinky dinks, either!
