Berrics/Olympics (What's not to like?)

I wish Louie and Jamie weren't in there.

Knowing Louie will be skating a FA deck at the Olympics makes me happy for Dill in some weird way. Same for MJ, Dashawn, etc.

I hope that Louie rides a board thats heavy in FA branding in hopes that it'll say "fucking awesome" on global tv and they'll have to scramble to blur it out. I wonder if they'll be able to blur it out on an instant replay quick enough in the 10/15 second duration that occurs shortly after a trick is landed. Call me immature but i genuinely find that thought entertaining

I haven’t read the entire threat but I assume plenty of people have said that Jagger Eaton is the worst, right? Because he is.

[essal]

you guys have sent the screwdriver rape to the olympics right?

Jagger Eaton has such a bad style. How can you skate that good/much and still look so gross on the board.

This. Some tricks that are great on paper but ugggggggggggly to watch. I saw a post-run interview on Park Series where he spoke so fast and hyper, i think someone forgot to tell him you're not meant to drink the red bull, just wear the hat. He's so corny on camera too, like if The Mickey Mouse Club had a skate division

[close]

lets just hope the people broadcasting the olympics zoom in on his legs strobeck style so you don't have to see his arms

that would be hilarious, hopefully people will finally realize that the fat bill face zoom is the worst thing in skate videos and is only eclipsed by what ty evans turned into. chris ray also sucks and chase gabor needs to be castrated and thrown in jail. wtf kind of name is jagger, anyway?

his yuppie ass parents probably named him after mick jagger. he probably has a brother named lennon or plant.

[friendly dave]

No joke, he has a brother named Koston Eaton.

lol, whut?

[matty_c]

I don’t think anyone’s taking bets on if it’s happening or not I dunno mang for me that’s pretty telling

[RoaryMcTwang]

You got to be fucking joking. So his parents planned for this to happen?

Or maybe the plan went wrong and he should have been the rock star in the collection of trophy children? Might explain the arms.

i wonder what his middle name is? mcnuggets, maybe? koston mcnugget eatin?

[Ghost Face]

They're both on Heart Supply with Bam and Novak as well. I have no idea why Cab is associated with this brand.

But here's another zinger, Camp Schill is Schillereff's kid. No idea what bongo he was drumming when he thought up that one.

[Billy Bitchcakes]

like if The Mickey Mouse Club had a skate division

I mean he kind of is that already

The Olympics are far from any kinda real representation of skateboarding but a lot of ppl that are super against it are failing to see that this is good for the industry and for skate shops cuz lets face it - most skaters don't spend money in their local skateshops to keep it sustainable.

So if we can take one good thing from it then at least see that retail in general has been slowly dying, especially in skateboarding. I bet no core skateshop owners and their staff are complaining about the Olympics cuz its gonna be good for business.

Who cares what it represents. Skateboarding has become a well oiled money making machine for awhile now. It ain't gonna change anytime soon - better get used to it!

There's always gonna be your core skate rat, your part-timer and your comp kid.

The Berrics are lame - no arguments there!

why do you hate the berrics so much? You said in another thread that Berra is a child molester. Is there something you would like to come forward about?

scientology and Steve has always been a kook.

You raise an interesting point. What is the policy towards board graphics in the Olympics?

In Olympics snowboarding, everyone kind of rides blank boards with a simple logo on it. That logo, turns out, is in most cases the clothing sponsor because they pay the most money and they can't wear their clothing sponsor's gear, since they wear uniforms. So Chloe Kim would ride a board that says Roxy, her clothing sponsor, although they don't make boards.

Does anyone have info about skating in the Olympics and uniforms, board graphics, logo display etc?

[Your Cousin Marvin]

Pretty sure they're going to use those USA boards they were holding up for that group photo

holy shit, he aint kidding. I know jagger was literally groomed by his parents to be a x games skater.

[Billy Bitchcakes]

Looks like his brother has a better style than him tbf

So weird that skating has gone so far that we could soon have a pro skater who was named after another pro skater

[twic3]

giving your kid someone elses last name as their first name is pretty cringe...

Kinda makes you wonder too. Is our generation going to force are future kids to skate and will skateboarding reach a point where no one picks it up naturally anymore.

not sure it counts since these kids parents paid for them to be pro/olympians

shoutout to novak for landing a legit spot on the heart supply skateboards. that truly is some next level connery.
