PJ Ladd of NB#

[Colt Cannon's Cargos]

Never liked his skating. Kook me but it's just boring, slow tech skating

this is almost a reason to throw hands

[Croquet temper]

I'm just dumbfounded that he started filming his WHL part almost 20 years ago (May 2001-November2001) and his career is what we got after that. That sounds so mean... but what am I supposed to think? Maybe if all his lost footage got released there could be some kind of PJ love fest going on like with Tom Penny but with way more time passed. He was lightning in a bottle and really did inspire me, I'm not kidding.

It's Slap. We're all cunts. PJ. We wanna see you skate you weird motherfucker. We love you. Really.

Edit: those recent instaclips were pretty nice. We love you.

His last trick was a push for criminy sakes

[sid vicious]

It's a shame, But these guys have to realize pro skateboarding is a job & you need to produce.

[Atiba Applebum]

PJ actually did pretty well, milked WHL for 2 decades

Sounds like the formula to get him on a Crailtap board company

Have you not read any of the posts here where I claim that PJ had expressed support for far right conspiracies like QAnon?

[close]

I saw where you said that but what was it that he posted?

A lot of it was IG stories that I’m apparently at fault for not screencapping. Here’s a thread about it: https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=110772.60

But beyond that, no one has contested my posts. A lot of posts agree with at least the topics I’ve mentioned. So like feel free to keep dodging an obvious truth that PJ buys into dangerous conspiracies and that should impact how we think of him or keep moving goalposts.

EDIT: now that I think about it, weirdly once PJ started posting more skate clips, he stopped posting far right conspiracy stories. There was a period where if you saw just his IG stories, you’d think he was a 4chan troll. @rothdigga - did anyone at NB have that conversation with him? And if so, was it awkward because NB execs were fans of Trump’s policies and had a Stormfront fan base?

Funny how people gets so triggered when someone has a different opinion or taste, but i'd rather watch Pops skating new york, or Kenny Reed doing a fakie tre on flat. But to each their own i guess

[Billy Bitchcakes]

How many of you people who follow far right figures on social media "to get a different perspective" also follow zero figures from the other side of the political spectrum?

That's what my facebook account is for! C'mon, this is basic stuff!

Instagram=Right-wing QAnon conspiracy sympathizing and facebook=BLM and #MeToo.

Has anyone had a look at PJ's facebook account? It should clear everything up I'm sure.

[homegrown83]

He's probably signing with Nike.

I just asked a question, no need to get defensive. Me asking a question doesn't mean I agree with everything you dislike.

you talked about 2 great skaters that have a different style than "slow tech etc" but both have nothing to do with what I said, sorry if I didnt understand you, but nowdays 99% of people that criticize normal tech skating are hipsters.

No problem buddy. The hipster side of skating is also pretty cool. I like tech skating but also like to watch the Hockey guys you know. And also, i get how groundbreaking was WHL, but it's not for me. One of my favorites to watch, Brad Cromer is a huge fan of PJ in that video. But to each, their own.

[swanronson]

If Pj is of NB, I wanna see him skating accels again 

[oatstao]

Anything real should never mix with politics   Unsure about who PJ Ladd is or his affiliations - he killed it at the fun game of 'skate' consistently (whatever that truly equates to)- that's all I know about him.   Sponsors come and go, skaters have limited shelf life 100% of the time.  Skateboarding is a very volatile industry.. I am seeing some cognitive dissonance in this thread, people triggered by race (culture), politics and interests that you don't have to share with another person. That's what true freedom is, to have that choice regardless of your opinion. Just like medial information about your private self.  You wouldn't want to be a public figure - you lose rights for narcissistic pride  - When you have clique or class mind - you're focused on death culture.  Jump on the bus - or your board, up to you.   Flame on.

Right there's legit a line where he's outpacing the cars on the road next to him while hes doing a full cab flip or some  shit. Not a fan of falafel pj, but dude skating slow is a shit take specially in the early days. He was out there blitzing shit. Dude hit like 4 window ledges in a line no push.
