Snowboarding seems cool

cardiel did both

[Ilya Oblomov]

How you do, not what you do on a skateboard matters.

Warhammer 40K novels are good reads. Painting miniatures is cool. Playing 40K is silly because the rules sucks ass.

All hail

The covid year was propably one of the best to ever happen to skateboarding financially and maybe even outputwise regarding content.

People didn’t tour, true. But they did skate. Alot.

Damn, he didn't lose his style when he stapped on the boots. Also wearing a shirt from your skate sponsors to go film tricks for your snowboard sponsor's video is a G move.

haha agreed. I collected and painted miniatures for about three years from 11yo to 13yo, read the codices, loved it. Only played once and it sucked

I never got the hate.  Lot's of bro types and privileged kids are into it, but I love it and it's something to look forward too in the winter.

Also, Cardiel could backflip on his first time out.

that nollie tre must've been one of the biggest done at the time. popped and caught nicely too. Don't see how that's bad trick selection. I like a nollie tre though which I know some don't

[close]

Yeah it's personal. I had this really obnoxious friend where that was his go-to trick. He would maybe ollie whatever it was then immediately start hucking nollie tres. One of those guys.

Same here I hate that fucking trick due to a kid that skated in the same town as me. He still haunts me 2 decades later. Fuck Nollie tres

I don’t know how controversial or unpopular this is, but the older I get, the more I start to think the people who run Crailtap are a bunch of low IQ, childish jackasses (Yeah, that includes Mike Carroll and Rick Howard.)
The fact they were seriously getting into arguments with people on their instagram posts to defend idiot Brandon Biebel’s actions, was pretty dumbfounding and cringey to me.

Andrew Reynolds’ skating looked better in skinny jeans.

Fitting pants are just cooler than baggy in general.

well played, that is very unpopular.





Also very wrong

Tom Penny Reynolds was the best. Few skaters looked good in skinny jeans: Dylan, Leo and Garret Hill.

[cosmicgypsies]

I get that it's a sordid state of affairs with the world at the moment combined with it being winter meaning you might have to skate solo under shelter or whatever just to get a session in, but please for the love of god no more fucking carpark footage

[Croquet temper]

If someone's a style biter, it doesn't always matter much to me. For example, I like that this Cambryan Sedlick guy chooses to skate like FA/Hockey people even though he went to Jagger Eaton skateschool.

[Mcidraque]

Eli Reed in Jamaica is the raddest thing skateboarding has seen in a long time

werd up

[Scott Chegg]

Guys wearing eyeliner or painted nails is the corniest shit ever. The whole fashionable mall punk aesthetic shit is whack.

[Mantracker]

Jahmir Brown is an amazing skater but comes off as an entitled prick. I liked him up until I followed him on Instagram. He's got some hot takes for sure

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

Dime and Alltimers are over rated, regardless of who they have riding for them. I will almost never buy anything made by either brand. However, Dime Glory Challenge was sick!

Fallen and Zero are relevant and actually doing well. I think they can and will come back to have a stronger resurgence this year since Cole rejoined and their AM riders are stepping it up.

Damn, are you this out of touch? ahah

We will see a female Skater Of The Year before 2030.

Hopefully

I would've called that a popular opinion on here?

I could see Sablone taking it.

Oh yeah , definitely. Just not Thrasher.

tight trucks are the new loose trucks they can be dope if you know how to ride them
