You think the global economy is fucked up now, just wait until automation takes over.

Yea i heard the cotton gin is going to destroy the economy, watch out for those.

I'll never forgive Eli Whitney for that bullshit...

Good "trick selection" is for the most part an empty concept to give skaters kudos for. Skaters don't select the trick so much as the trick selects the skater. Pros are pros because they figured out the handful of tricks they do well and ignored the ones they don't.

trick selection has to do with the skaters mind how many times you see a skater come to your local that you been skating for a couple years and everyone is blown away by some random who gets out the car looks at the spot in a completely different way and rips 5 NBDs in a row on 5 different obstacles Trick Selection matters

Most people skating super loose trucks would skate better if they tightened them.

Counterpoint: no sane individual can make tight Indys look good

I like Max Palmer but half the time it seems he can barely push or pop things so I’m with you on that.

My hot take: Justin Henry was more interesting to watch when he was an AM.

Landing clean on tight trucks is harder too.

I agree with original opinion. Not super loose doesn't automatically mean tight. There's middle ground where you can still turn fine but also not flop around everywhere.

Tiago.

[LebowskisRug]

People need to just stop talking about Cariuma. We all know they’re wack, but they thrive off attention and Berra is winning.

[Dwyck]

Tiago and Chris Cole are insane genetic freaks

nobody gives a fuck if you wear Adidas socks with Nike shoes.
and if they do they are totally fried and not worth listening to.

I'd love to skate it so i can make an assessment

I'm convinced people that legitimately care about this issue have been indoctrinated by corporations.
The loyal pawns must express their frustrations with people who don't wear coordinating brands like you're personally sponsored by them.

every chlothes u got made by a brand, its about matching, like colors, but its shapes instead. i think rockin skate logo tees above age 20 make u look like a 13 yo that actually is indocnicrated by brands tho

Max Palmer is overrated by SLAP users. He's underrated in general though. Also, he would be better if he tightened his trucks. Half to a full turn and Max might actually get the respect he deserves (which is less than what SLAP gives him, but still more than he gets now)

[LebowskisRug]

I agree and said this and lost 10 rep points so beware my dude…

I also agree

Kris Markovich is vastly underrated regardless of his sponsor choices.
Tom Penny is a little bit overrated.

I think if you say stuff like this you should be immediately banned

Fuck 'em, rep is for kooks. Speak your mind.

I think if you say stuff like this you sound like a mark ass buster.

Whinging about rep is always lame. I should be kooked just for bringing it up.
