[HeapsCool]

I watched most of this. John Hill is whingeing about thrasher not letting him advertise his competing media platform on their site and his teeth are mesmerising. Photoshop opportunities.

Misread this as Jonah Hill. Which would've been very entertaining.

I imagine him in those god dam clear frame glasses in a dim lit room, speaking very somberly into the camera. If only!

[fakie nollie]

He kind of looks like a poor man's Cairo Foster with a toupée

Ha same.

And the Cairo w/toupee is spot-on.

Thrasher can pick and choose what they include in thier own magazine. No need to whine because they don't want to include you in it. This guy sucks

Imagine thinking having connections at braille and revive are actual skate industry connections

Thanks for the nose full of coffee, I got a good chuckle out of this....

[Circaskater420]

Bet this guy whines that street skaters are disrespectful and destructive.

I typically don't pay much mind to the whole YouTube skate thing because I mainly view it as something targeted toward kids. But it's weird how much they seem to want it both ways. They wanna go against the grain of "traditional" skate content and fish for views with clickbait-y titles and gimmicky premises, then they act shocked when those traditional avenues don't embrace them. They declare themselves "pro" without a quarter of the work and talent then they expect actual professionals to consider them equals in an industry they're actively isolating themselves from. They're selling pricepoint hardgoods in an already oversaturated market to compete with real brands, and then they're surprised when a media conglomerate that heavily relies on those real brands doesn't include them in the mix as if they're somehow entitled to be. Like I said, I'm not very concerned about their content. If they wanna cater themselves to 12 year olds and cut corners for attention, fine. Get that YouTube money. But you don't get to have it both ways.

[tortfeasor]

if this video is accurate....
thrasher is willing to advertise for international mega-corp. and a mall knife company. but a skateboarder who made his money in skateboarding and is trying to put it back into skateboarding is a no go. 

makes total hellride.

[TwisT]

he uploaded this video on the same channel that has videos such as "I SPENT $30,000 ON A SKATESHOP!?!?" and "Can Americans tell the difference between Asians?!?!?"

Being pro is Arbitrary. Every asshole has the right to start their own skate brand and do whatever they want with it and thrasher can pick and chose who they advertise with. IF they wanna leave money on the table so be it.

anyway he humble bragged about he and his friends youtube following and how he doesn't even need to advertise with thrasher so what's the problem? Why even chase that thrasher approval if you don't need it.

Also that trailer had a way to much park footage.

Very well put.

"I don't need your magazine, I'm the new media!"

"Why won't you let me in your magazine?"

[Matthew_James]

I never understood how young kids get so wrapped up with these YouTube pro’s. If I was a kid and the only exposure I had to skateboarding was through them, I’d probably never start skateboarding in the first place. Every single one of them seem like they’d be Bible Camp counselors if they didn’t get into skateboarding, doing some sort of weird Christian Rock youth group nonsense. It has to be people who don’t skate who’re keeping these guys view counts high, right?

[TheBoognish]

Everything about this guy annoys the fuck out of me.

This.

[poopnutsupreme]

Dude is so desperate for attention that he made a reaction video to BA's coming out video. I never understood how reaction videos became so popular but this one takes the cake.

He is very annoying.
I think Revive had an Ad on Thrasher a few years back.

[Lou Strux]

As far as I’m aware, Thrasher is a publication centered around & catering to skateboarders.
What does Revive, Braille, or John Hill have to do with skateboarding? Is Walmart a skate company because they have boards for sale on aisle 6?
Anybody remember when Thrasher let Heelys run an advert? Or maybe it was soap shoes. US Army recruitment ads?
Maybe some things are better off left out, John Hill being one.

[Skate?]

How does Nike have a monopoly in skateboarding? And honestly I get why Thraaher is gate keeping. All I can say is... Its a new era gentleman.

Believe Thrasher may fear that they will seem less hellride if they have those ads in there. As in lose a certain hellride audience/ element to the mag and legitimacy of that image. Not sure if there is as much of a hellride to project anymore at this point anyway. It's pretty heckride at this point. And really has been for years.

His style/ads look more like something on Transworld website/youtube

It looks like it got taken down, but I remember Dale Decker made a video right when Dylan Rieder passed away and it was labeled as a tribute, but most of it was just a typical day in the life/skate vlog and then there was a minute or so at the end where he made his passing to be about himself.

And Rolling Stone never did articles about the Wiggles. Everything is fine.
