I don’t think Heitor fakes it, he genuinely carries himself like that day to day and in everything he does

I mean... If he's faking it, that's a pretty good act. The craft in THAT performance is surely worth plaudit & attention, yes? Maybe give him an Oscar, or whatever award actors on the other side of the puddle win.

Who, specifically?  It’s the internet, we can speak our own truths.

i saw a kid doing the backwards switch manny thing Aiden mackey does at borough hall and it looked cool

The Lakai Cambridge is the best shoe on the market right now as far as functionality and skating performance. Skates an absolute dream.

Bit of shoe goo and it last forever too

Yeah it's not a bad shoe.  So maybe this is not a completely unpopular opinion.

Lol yeah maybe not

It's so good though. I rarely stick with one shoe but I'm on my third pair. The fit and flick are great.

I think Pretty Sweet is a good video and anyone who disagrees is probably an old dude trying to pretend those are the same brands they grew up with. I'd even said they did the whole video in changing times thing better than Baker 4, even if Baker did it in a more iconic way.

Intro was cringe as fuck. Drone footage ending in the who gang fake jumping for joy and hi5ing to the camera with the confetti and shit. Wat.

[Hinna]

Yeah I always skip the intro, but the parts are nicely edited and the tricks are good.

[jgonzalez]

I like Thames

[Easy Slider]

I don‘t like MACBA clips.

[Eric Dolphy]

Grizzly grip is actually really good. I couldn't get mob for my latest board but they had blank grizzly with no stupid pop-out bear or anything. I was expecting to hate it but it's been great. Also it's perforated and cuts really clean, so it's easy to do a good grip job.

[Mean salto]

Fair.
What about them don't you like? For me it's the crowds. I always prefer no pedestrians in footage. I want clips to look like omega man.

Macba is incredibly played out, can only watch so many basketball shorts + dunk ledge clips.

It's hard to say really. Not necessarily the crowds, it's the entire vibe that turns me off. I feel that I would hate to skate there. And yes, as pointed out by @RottenToTheCore  it's a played out spot.

if you hit your wheel/truck right before you get into a backtail, it doesnt count.

[Hinna]

even with a backup board ready and gripped i like to sk8 the current to the point where its chipped flimsy less popped and pretty much gone. the point where strangers think i might not be able to afford another or something. ive focused 1 or 2 in anger my whole life but never again. idk if its atonement

[Coffee]

I don’t go the extra mile to sand it down but I prefer jessup because it’s less grippy. I’ve used mob and it was too much.

Same. Exactly the same...I just set up my new jawn. It's like amazing to have a fresh but not gonna lie can't wait to fucking destroy it.

[MaXX_I-D]

I like to sand down the front bolts area and behind the back bolts, but not to the end of the tail.

[Hinna]

that makes sense. guess i just want it consistently throughout. ruins shoes less too. another thing is cleaning the wheels. after x sessions i wring paper towels and give them a good wipe. cleans the wax and slip out less

[Rattus Localis]

The Koston 3 is a powerfully ugly shoe.

This is coming from a man who loves the Koston 1 and even has love for the K2.

I don't understand the nostalgia for this abomination.
