A properly slid 360 shuv where the wheels stay on the pavement is steezier than a popped one.

I thought I would be the only one thinking that.

[kilgoret]

this has always been the case but more so now with the difficulty level being so high. most if not all really good consistent skaters are boring.

Definitely have to emphasize the last sentence. In my opinion, I would rather have less trick with a really good style than with many trick selections with a sloppy style

i think that is the main difference for these days, most consistent really good skaters aren't necessarily "sloppy", they're just too good and bland. at least for me, i like to see character, human shit, relatability in skateboarding. probably because i suck..haha. but you know what i mean.

I totally see where you are coming from. But yeah some good skaters are just too boring

Griptape art is corny as fuck and very rarely is good looking

Rarely looks good: correct. Corny: I don’t think so.

Black gum with white logo shoes look awful. Fat sus euro on holiday in Asia steez.

Prefab/ shitty wood diy on a court (like the one from Breana crail Clip thing) are better than 99.9% of skateparks

Can you clarify black gum with white logo shoes. Something like the Tyson Sk8-hi?

Black upper with gum soles but then white logo on the side. Worst is Adidas you just look like a German sex tourist. Seems to be most popular busentiz colorway but they've done black upper with gum soles and coloured stripes plenty of times and it always looks much better

Nike, Cons, Adidas and Vans are at least part to blame for Cariuma's success.

These brands have either, stopped opening accounts, closed accounts, or screwed over accounts.

Footwear sales are super important to skate shops and shops are now being "forced" to carry what ever brands will open them.

Cariuma has definitely done a better job at marketing to today's skate consumer that Etnies, Es, Emerica, State, DC, or Lakia and thus I understand shops wanting to carry the brand.

Snorrigan sounds like a Pokemon and for all I know is a Pokemon.

PS. This is in no way a defense of Cariuma, I think that shit is trash.

Short pants, really long white socks(or colored socks with "funny" drawings), a white tanktop and big mirrored sunglasses.
Extra points for a golden necklace.
Double extra points if your head is hairless.

Ya all can read my next styling tips in the Vogue. Cheers pals.

is berriuma in shops? i’m pretty sure they’re all direct to consumer. also wouldn’t etnies, es, etc be equally responsible for doing nothing to market to skate consumers and languishing on shelves in shops

Very good maybe also an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt
Or go the too long cargo shorts with the too tight soccer jersey look. Probably add a bucket hat and instead of sunscreen just put that white zinc shit on your nose

I don’t know about sex tourists but lots of German around these parts in august, I’ll try helping. So! The basics: some fat wool socks that go half up your legs, old crummy T-shirt with obscure design about your local betting bar or soccer team, or a plain one with faded colours and a V neck (V neck is very important). Uncomfortably short denim shorts or literal swimming shorts, even in a city nowhere near the sea. Fitted hats with big cheap glasses you can buy in any supermarkets. Stripped zip up hoodies, 2 sizes too large/too small. Everything needs to be disjointed, ill fitting and cheap.

Obviously this is a caricature, shalom to German homies.
