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.
Sure but it's also kinda fun. But the thing is language (especially English and by extension skate terminology) is supposed to evolve over time with usage. It's basically how accents happen people say something wrong enough and it becomes right.
(P.s I'm always right and everyone else is always wrong)



There's no such thing as mm in skating. At least not under 5mm. You're not doing surgery or building something for NASA your gear being slightly different sizes won't make a bit of difference. It's all mental.

I like Max Palmer but half the time it seems he can barely push or pop things so I’m with you on that.

My hot take: Justin Henry was more interesting to watch when he was an AM.

Has he even put out any footage since he turned pro? Like what are you talking about dudes been pro for like 6 months

I do not like Alex Olson. He’s like that too cool for school kid who’s constantly changing hobbies, he seems constantly over it no matter where he is.

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

His throwaway Art Bars part is still fire, dude skated so fast and with loose trucks instantly fire

Wow that’s crazy how does it feel to have never felt such a visceral feeling?

Even though I always say manual, my understanding is that if it is not preceded by an ollie, then it is a wheelie.

It’s not a ‘skate part’ song (except for maybe someone like Heath), but you’re very spot on with thread choice

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.

I don’t give a fuck if someone puts out a part with an ABD; How did that shit look though?

No offense to anyone that is all over that shit, just seems like a wack(sad) way to live life.

It’s not about accomplishments or who did what shit first; that shit shouldn’t be your drive in skating.

This is not in defense of Suciu, YUTO is winning that shit.

I love max palmers skating, but it's not even close. Nik stain skates with almost a ricky level of power...even has sum transition game, that Bruns part is too sick.
Whoa. Danger.

The Vans AVE Pro look horrible.  AVE is in my top 5 all-time favorite skaters but the shoes look like lace-up water shoes made of multi-colored high tech chain mail.
