Kris Markovich is vastly underrated regardless of his sponsor choices.
Tom Penny is a little bit overrated.

I'd have to agree with you on markovich, seen some clips on here that people have posted from his IG, and given his age and lack of current relevance, they're pretty impressive.

Depends on what you're talking about with penny. In his prime, he was the best doing it, and all that footage still holds up to modern standards, which says a lot given the period it was filmed. So if that's what you're talking about, I strongly disagree. If you're talking about how people overhype his current stuff, I can get that.

360 flips are boring as fuck in 2021. Every single pro can do it, probably 4 ways. So boring seeing every line start or end with a tree flip.

Give me original tricks, I'm sick of seeing the exact same tricks just at a different spot in every single video.

At least give me some fucking double/triple flips or unique flip tricks like pressure flips, anti-flips, dolphin flips, late flips, etc.

It's been said a million times but I think the trick is not to pay attention to skateboarders outside of their actual skateboarding. It's hard to do tho.

I don't know the dude personally, but I don't really understand what is pretentious about him. He's hardly the only skater to also care about things like fashion, art and photography. Whenever I see or read an interview, he seems like a very normal guy.

This reaction is exactly why I appreciate Suciu is who he is. There’s actually real world hobbies out there people engage in and tons of people I know have accounts to share shit I see as “meh”- books, fishing lures, homebrewing, ceramics, art, etc.

Suciu also seems to be equal part skate nerd with an encyclopedic knowledge of global skatespots and exactly what’s been done on them which to me is as skate nerd as you can get. Definitely not “let’s find a ditch or hill and do the same hellride tricks over and over”.

Every time someone comments on Slap complaining that “Cali bro rail and gap skating is wack” all I can picture is someone who’s either 14 or 36 stuck wearing size 47 jeans with retro remake DC’s and fitted caps lol

This is an absolute insane thing to say on a forum where people almost exclusively talk about the skating of people better than them. Esp. considering average age on here is like 36. Imagine arguing like this with a sports fan

The constant trick name arguments here are exhausting and pointless.  Nobody’s ever right or wrong.  There is no skateboarding rule book, no official glossary.  You can twist words around, talk about angles, etc etc.  Nollie cab lip, nollie 270 front board, whatever, it’s all the same shit, and if you have a vicious unbending opinion that it can only be called one thing, you’re taking it way too seriously.
