[Mr. Kamikazi]

Fucking Awesome is fucking awesome

Yep

Hockey is great too
Elijah Berle’s Vans part is an instant classic

Fucking Awesome is fucking awesome

This is a popular opinion outside of Slap.  All the boomers on here have a weird hate boner for FA

I've decided I really enjoy watching Shane O'neill skate

I'm getting there, too

Nak was sick until like 2018-19ish
clothes, style, personality all kinda took a dip at the same time
i still really like his Blessed part

His Blessed part was great, entirely due to the fact that's where they put all of KB's footage.

I don't feel bad when arrogant teenagers get beat up by older heads.

[Freelancevagrant]

Switch skating is cool but I’m pretty over not being able to tell what stance someone is anymore.

[JohnnyBoy]

These shitty gas station beanies everybody is wearing look stupid. Theyre almost as bad as the Mike Mo era skullie beanies.

[Dirk_Diggler]

Andrew Reynolds’ skating looked better in skinny jeans.

Agreed. Ill throw Rowley in there too.

[Rohn_mob_joore]

Stop every company putting graphics on their boards that look like they were drawn by a kindergartener.

No. Reynolds looked the best in The End.

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

Not out of touch at all! Aha this is the unpopular opinion thread after all, which is why I threw it out there. Zero actually seems to sell well from what I see online and I've seen a handful of Zero and Fallens in real life over the past few months. So it's not completely out of the question.

[Sila]

Yeah i've seen a lot of people riding Zero boards recently. Blind too.

[cky enthusiast]

flip tricks on flat bottom look dumb

i’m not impressed by your 2mph tre flip if you can’t pump, get out of the way please

If we held Ishod to the same standards we apply to many of his peers, we'd be much less enamored with him.

care to elaborate?

I really hate TFunk. His style is contrived and I would definitely punch his lights out if i ever met him

[ballintoohard]

Kader isn’t that good. I think Gilbert’s pants look fine cuz he owns it and does his own thing rather than the baggy faux nostalgia shit.

My only problem with watching his parts is that he only skates conventional sort of stuff (rails/hubbas, ledges and gaps). I mean a lot of people do, but he definitely has the talent to mix it up a bit more, even if is low key sort of stuff.

Shotgunning a beer or smoking weed is terrible B roll

[close]

Yes

That and homeless shots

The homeless shots have always been around because skaters have always been skating crusty spots...think of Hubba Hideout...that's were addicts went to shoot up

But yea I agree, recently all the B-Roll shots of skaters hitting bongs, joints, pipes...etc... is pretty lame. I'm looking especially at you little Kader

It's always been the combination of fucked up tricks on the most uninteresting stuff that turned me off, but he does skate some wild curvy round rails at skateparks... This recent ig clip was very nice, though.

Note: I've mostly seen his skateboarding through instagram, I don't usually watch proper videos/parts he or April puts out. Haven't given them a fair shot.

the april vids have been pretty banging so far.  maybe i would get a logo board but i dont connect with their graphics.

[JordanBrambleberry]

Thank you for saying this! I'm paying upwards of sixty bucks for a deck to ride for a few months, I want some decent artwork! it's more fun when there is a big variety to choose from!
