2021 unpopular opinion thread

Deathwish has better graphics than Baker

Not saying much when both their graphics could suck a golf ball through a garden hose

White knighting Suicu doesn’t make you an Intelectual.

Also, it’s about how he carries himself not how he got a degree.



I’m done being a hater.

Do you have a degree?

[cky enthusiast]

are there dudes really tweaking over who won the jd power and associates truck of the year award for skateboarding or are y’all yanking my chain

[R3dBullRox420]

With few exceptions skate clothing is terribly made.

No lies here. Having worked in clothing production I can attest to this. Most of these brands are printing/embroidering on blank garments, like Gildan.  I even saw some of the "high end" ones were doing this at a certain point but improved quality and do real cut & sew as they scaled-- but a lot of brands haven't really as they scaled. I ain't mad at it tho.
It's prob best for the skate industry if this remains an unpopular opinion. Ignorance is bliss or some shit like that.

sci fi fantasy is gross .. terribly low quality product materials with no artistic taste . jerry is trolling and everyone is falling for it

I’m Jerry’s number one fanboy, but I see what you mean. Although I do like some of the stuff he puts out, other items are kinda whatever. I really wish he’d have more of his photo work out in the open. He’s never gonna have a gallery show anywhere close to where I live

The hoodies definitely shrink, but the beanies are pretty well-made.

No, you just seem fixated on the fact he's educated. Which leads me to believe your not.

No offense.

[Brguy]

most Girl videos aren't great because they're too polished, having Spike and Ty on your squad may not be great for making the raw videos we all love.

Doll was pretty good and no one can convince me otherwise.

Some people seem to think like Mark is some crusader against hellride and skating as a fun activity, I'm not surprised his education is a point in question after reading some dude acting holier than thou for being smart and tasteful or whatever. Funnily enough Mark is probably a lot more chill than his fans, they're like Tool fans while he's just a skater, I mean look at him in the Dime contest, doesn't look pretentious to me.

None taken ofc.

It’s just a joke(like most(if not everything) I post). I’m just not a mark Suicu fan fan.

White knighting Suicu doesn’t make you an Intelectual.(shot at everyone that wants to call those hating on mark unintelligent(I don’t like judging someone’s intelligence based off an online persona))

I actually really like his skating(style can be a bit off for my taste at times). I want more tech skating.

Have fun.

I’m also a 20 year old student so no I don’t have a degree that matters. Working on it thought. I appreciate the genuine interest.

[HeavyAndExpensive]

Suciu is like a really technical guitar player that really likes trashy punk and loud rock n roll too but all of the haters assumes he thinks it sucks because he personally likes to play technically.

[keepthefunkalive]

Snowboarding seems cool

Snowboarding is fun. It's way more expensive than skating. The culture is lame for the most part because it revolves around privileged kids who's parents pay for their gear and lift tickets. Yeah you can do it for the cheap if you work at a resort (like me who makes snow at one), but it requires a lot more money up front to get into it. You can't do flip tricks, but it feels good. There are definitely some cool riders that do interesting stuff, but it just isn't skating. I agree, but it's only something to do until the ground is dry again

[sk8n hugon]

I wish Transworld (pre sale) was the print mag that made it to 2021 and beyond. I just don’t like joints on the cover of the mag regardless of who has it. I’m not saying parts of the culture have to hidden, but they don’t have to be glorified either.

[pro club blanks]

Deathwish has better graphics than Baker

The knox godoy drawing series were bakers best graphics besides the classic block logo and the elephant

[munchbox]

blue jeans are the worst

[HyperBeam]

anti hero's art direction has been lost for a while now. grimple is interesting, but also feels like an awkward  attempt at a pivot.

[LordManHammer]

blue jeans are the worst

I back this….

[svenfuck cowboy]

idk i think a lot of skate companies make pretty decent clothes. a lot of the newer 'trendy' companies put more resources into shirts n shit cause that's what sells. zero on the other hand prints on some garbage

[mushroom slice]

Adored is so cringe
Straight up hot topic vibes.

[EXTRA SPICY]

Adored is so cringe

I believe that is the whole goal and point of the brand. The cringe claim would then thus be a compliment.

[Lenny the Fatface]

After watching bunny hop twice I came to this conclusion:

Not only is the Bunny hop lineup the best Chocolate roster from top to bottom. If it wasn’t for Mike Carroll skating to Crack Raider Razor this would be the best Chocolate video hands down.

Ready for the smoke.

[PatrickSkateman]

Vincent Alvarez’s Bunny Hop part was actually really good and by far his best one.

Inverted kingpins are dumb. They've never really worked and probably never really will. They'll always just rattle loose.
Companies should look into a titanium baseplate with built in kingpins kind of like what theeve did with the hangar/axles. It could be pretty hollowed out in the middle to reduce weight and would probably also be strong enough to stop the pivot breaking out the side of the pivot cup.

Never had issues running gk kingpins in old Indy baseplates back in the day (also I want someone to fill me in on the logic on making them impossible to change out on Indy baseplates last handful of years) running the new Indy mid with the inverted king pin currently and only issue I’ve had was trying to get trucks to correct tightness due to not being able to count threads on the kingpin and it feeling a little weird cause they are a bit lower than normal Indy’s.

Mark Suciu is gonna win all you salty fucks over when he brings Uncle Freddy on his SOTY trip

[Rattus Localis]

 I fucking hate Bob Dylan. Hate his music, his lyrics, his songwriting, his persona. Fuck him. Overrated cunt.

[Mean salto]

Few hours over but I'll leave this in 2021 and move on fresh in 2022
Gifted hater is kinda chat. Looks like sum 41 sounds like big bang theory. Talks shit on people's hair...cool bleached tips/perfect bed hair. Nyjahs suit is Austin Powers... Literally an entire decade off completely not getting what Austin Powers is.
