i'd only take a sponsor if i actually enjoyed the product, so for many a beer sponsor is probably really sick

Supposedly Mason Merlino and a few other slackers rode for Guayaki a few years ago but nobody you could really name enough to care about.

If I had a local coffee shop and American Spirits sponsor I'd be the happiest person alive.

It’s actually pretty fun, everything feels like you are sliding on a ledge or something. Does look a bit kooky though. Could see someone making it look good, but would b hard. Skull skates used to press tons of boards in Vancouver lol

Nah, he's off the cigs. Gonna be the first with a Freestyle Libre sponsorship though. Which would be sick, those things are mad expensive.

Been waiting for this to happen for someone. I'd be all over that. But I'd be hyped on Pacifico too

I don’t hate the new Vans skate line of shoes. Honestly more than willing to try them, especially if that canvas on the Old Skools is more durable.

Can we please stop making skate videos that are 90% manual variations?  I love a good manual as much as the next guy but they’re incredibly overused at this moment in time.  Manuals in 2021 are like wallies in 2015.

Any line that doubles it’s length because of that goddamn push into the street just for a flatground trick (or any instance tbh— nobody should have to wait that long for the tre flip we saw coming from miles away. Fakie flip is also expected if going switch.)

Ok but that would actually be a huge move for camel since dickson is basically a cowboy on a skateboard

It feels crusty to hold a board by the trucks when they're worn out a bit though.

This. I was a mall grab supporter and then progressed to doing lots of truck grinds and now it feels really grimey to do myself. full support for others doing it though.

Poppalardo talks about this when reviewing his old parts especially how doing a flat ground trick is just zero value if only one thing is before or after. I can’t get that idea out of my head now.

If you have to push to add a flatground trick to the end of your line then yeah, nah. If you can squeeze one in with the momentum left over from your last actual gap/bench whatevs, and can make it look casual and stylish, then I'm not mad. Grind, push, then flatground trick does not count as a line imo.
If you see offensive comments, just let it go into one eye and let it out of the other eye, no tears and not sadness or anger.
