skateboarding needs to purge the influence of people 35 and over on the industry

mixed feelings about this. across the board it would turn into some candyass shitfest real fast. not that it kind of hasnt already. greco and borra supporting the likes of sk8goat and carioomas and such. at the end of the day it comes down to the integrity of each teacher. or some shit like that

Dude that peanut oil dripping through the bag is the lifeblood the fries need to survive.

Bones Swiss are overrated.

[BieberStance]

Rewatched some old Zero videos. Now jn my mid 30s i can’t wrap my head around how i thought that was some dark edgy cool hardcore goth shit when i was younger. Its so cringe and contrived. The slams go tho.

360 popshuv it’s that are not trying to be an impossible are dope.

frankie spears is slightly underrated. not saying hes the greatest by any means but his xgames street part has good clips. stylewise he may not be the greatest and flails around a bit but at least hes not another robot styler

Skateboarding "progression" should have stopped after the 90s. Everything else was excess gross xtreme garbage.

[JugeL]

Olympics didn't change skateboarding to any direction and really was just one shitty contest amongst other shitty contests

Unhealthy Kalis/Wenning/Stevie worship is cool

Mandatory chemical castration for anyone involved in using that fake film b-roll footage with the square on the left side.

[close]

I am wondering for a while now, why is there a black square and why is it always on the left side?

Still waiting for an answer on this one. Anyone have any insight on this? I fucking hate it when I see it in videos.

Not an unpopular or controversial opinion. Move to common known facts thread.

I haven't noticed what you guys are talking about in B-roll but it sounds like it's a changeover cue that's probably added digitally to make it seem more film like when the footage could have started out as HD. Changeover cues are always in the upper left hand side of the screen and appear for about a 6th of a second. Anybody have a good example of this B-roll trope?

[bigbevev]

Yuto’s skating is super boring.

Seems most likely to be one of the new filters included in a recent software update for whatever HD video editing suite heads are using these days. Pretty much what our homey @jakeumms said. Digital image enhancements.

Thanks for the reference. Yeah Super 8 is single perf on the inboard side so they are scanning the whole frame, including stuff that would be cropped out normally or more likely it's just a filter they threw over some B-roll. Notice the black perf is not consistent throughout the section you linked. In some shots it's there, others not, but the footage maintains the same look.

[jgonzalez]

yep, super 8 film. the perforations are on one side. my guess is the perforations show up because of the change of aspect ratio from super 8 to HD then encompasses all of the film that is otherwise cropped when viewing in another aspect ratio. the square is in the same place because the frames don't contain information at the empty spot

i remember fake film burns circa 2011 on HD footage lol what a painful time

In related bitching, it's annoying when skate videos splice b horror film clips every couple of tricks. like the skating already kind of sucks if its some local or shop vid, and u aren't alien workshop so chill lol

[Dwyck]

Dashboard Confessional is good and i will fight over it

someone besides Neal Hendrix should skate to Get Up Kids

[manysnakes]

we need more gatekeeping.

Been saying. I volunteer to be the first one kicked out

[SatanicPanic]

I prefer HD to vx 1000 or whatever you call those old cameras
