2021 unpopular opinion thread

[Lou Strux]

90% of board graphics in the setup thread are random, incoherent piss poor excuses for "art" and I could shit some melted crayons on a deck and it would look better

Could you really, though?!?
Sounds painful, but if you're able, you are a true talent & there's a bright future in store for you, mon artiste.

But how tho? Do you eat the crayons and digest them or do you just shelve them? and when does the melting occur?
But jokes aside (pardon the pun)I'm also not really a fan  all this newer childish art

Probably less of an unpopular opinion and more of a skate conspiracy but I believe that Jahmir (jahbulbatron or whatever the fuck) is a regular stance skater who taught himself to push mongo regs, and regular switch so people would think he was goofy stance. I legit never seen footage of homie doing certain tricks “regular” but see him bust out “switch” all the fucking time… seems sus

Don't know him, but I know a guy who legit has weird stances, he is definitely goofy riding around bowls and street, but then he has a pretty specific bag of tricks, regular tre flips all the time, got bigspins and bs flips sometimes, nollie bs flip and sw fs flip, he can't really ollie too well regular but can do them nicely switch, sw kickflips too, he could switch crooks and sw 180 to regular 5-0s.

Well... Looks like you've just helped me pick out my Spring/Summer '22 look.
Any other styling tips, so I can keep it authentic?

[close]

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.

Always these pants, of course combined with a checkered shirt or in stripes

those Copenhagen, dime glory challenge type events are gross and annoying, i know being mindless and partying while skateboarding is probably fun, i just don't need to see it, especially the types that are there now with the jockification of skateboarding.

and these new kids that try to look like they don't "try" are super fucking obnoxious ie: heitor.

skateboarding does not make you cool or special, you are no better and no more unique than a tennis player

Spoken like a true tennis player.

no I like tennis its pretty fun

[Easy Slider]

I hate Tennis but I have a Tennis court next to my apartment with a nice smooth parking lot where I skate when I just want to do a bit of flatground so thanks for that Tennis. I pity the people who have to pay to play Tennis whilst I am having fun for free on their parking lot.

Birdo was right.

slap is the truth in sk8ing but its still the death of innocence. theres something pure about someone who gives 0 cares about the scene other than the act of skating how they want with whatever kind of setup. even if its like being blind to the ugly truth about whatevers going on in the sk8bording world and whatnot. as long as theyre not too gullible in general i kind of respek that i guess

If you can’t give an accurate description of Nyjah’s ass tats from memory, you’re a fucking poser.  Case closed.

[Hinna]

i mean a poser is someone who doesnt love skating but totes a board around like its a chore just to have that image. while not putting in any work. some would use that term to describe someone who doesnt dress like how sk8rs are supposed to be dressed like according to the majority. or trick selection. but that kind of mindset kind of makes them the poser regardless of how good theyre at skating. or something like that. it makes me a hypocrite because ive talked down about richie jackson too. but thats a whole another reconciled paradox thing where quality control is concerned in regards to pro status and whatnot. sry for rambling

Jamie Foy has been wack.

Skateboarding is overapopulated with manlets. A big guy who has style will always trump guys who have the body of your first girlfriend. Put some heft on that tre flip.

[exlurker]

Basketball rules, tennis and skateboarding are whack

I think BA said staying skinny is the key to skating rails and gaps later in life. Jumping around with all that ego weight? Wouldn't do that to my poor joints tbh

I agree, fatten these young motherfuckers up.

[Mean salto]

People need to start calling out skaters for having fake style again. Half the people in new style lords thread would of got completely clowned only a few years ago.
