Companies that "die" shouldn't be resurrected. I cant think of one that's done so without tarnishing their legacy / existing as a shell of itself.

Should I stop holding my breath for that Rasa revival, then?

I’m rapidly posting my hoarded NOS Kenny Reed iPaths size 10.5 on ebay if that’s the case.

Edit: back on track; no one looks good skating in shorts.

videos should stay at ~30~ minutes. thats a good running time front to back. i waited 15 years for baker4 but still only sat and watched the entire thing twice, shits great but an hour plus is just too much. hyped on the boss saying jacopo already has another full part ready to go tho and theres gonna be a few smaller baker videos throughout 2021. thats wassup that dudes insane, and releasing a few videos with 2-3 parts and just a few tricks from the rest of the fellas (and elissa) is a good look.

Agreed. 1 hour videos had their time when full lengths were all you hoped for, now we have a new clip every 10 minutes and shitty attention span, it just doesn't have the same energy as before. Also a shorter video has a bigger chance of being stacked with hammers, can't have a huge video with the whole team without some people coming up with filler footage, unless it's a huge production like Propeller was (not that everything there was the heaviest stuff, but every part was at the very least decent).

Might as well go for a few more.
Anti Hero has good wood but lame ass graphics.
Jay Adams would be a 1010 level pariah if he was still around, and deservedly so. 
Most female skaters would be way better off if they made a point to use smaller boards.

Except Lucas Puig, but I'm sure that was implied! 


Unpopular thoughts maybe?
LR AB shoes look like wonky Cons and don't look worth the premium cost. Just bad all around, to me.

Ventures suck and they've only been successful lately because of good marketing and Bobby Worrest.

If Kalis left DGK it would be almost indistinguishable from Blind or World Industries

I personally think Blind is the best of the 3

If Kalis leaves DGK there is no hope for them

I Agree with Ninijah about girls skating. No powers, super gross style and no one give a fuck. Besides Alexs, fuck the rest.

Hence, my thought being "unpopular" here 
More power to those skating them though.

Indy > Ace (even though they look like dainty Indys) > Thunder > Venture is my personal order of  truck ranking.

100%, ventures feel like a Indy and thunder cross or just a more solid thunder

[anti-bolts]

dudes with their throwback 90s kits be lookin ridiculous on 9in decks in all seriousness. some toys-r-us lookin shit.

hi nyjah

[anti-bolts]

50s to 5 0 are cool when done on purpose

never seen a lazer flip i like

the faster and sketchier the tre the better instead of that one foot catch shit
speed wobbles at the end make them even better

you can never have too baggy of a pant but you can always have too skinny

[friendly dave]

Habitat shoes were actually pretty good.

[Croquet temper]

Vans is the best skate shoe brand.
