Can hardly say I'm surprised or upset.

I mean if Westgate can rip all our dicks off with an amazing part for NB out of nowhere at his age.... And after all the high impact stuff he skated.

Can hardly be angry at NB for dropping PJ. He hasn't done anything in two decades.

How old do all you morons think Westgate is? I read in the 508 video thread someone saying he is from the same era as Reynolds? What are you talking about? The guy is 32. Not that old.

[close]

Old for a pro skater that releases that level of footage. You try hard goon.

Ishod is 29 and Reynolds would've been 31 during Stay Gold, you guys really need to reorient

[drewdown]

I think people just need to move on from some skaters and not hold onto what once was.  I mean this dude looks like he is one step away from joining the taliban.

if i owned a company and one of my riders followed ted cruz then i'd kick em off too
(not to mention david icke and kayleigh mcenany)

I heard on that podcast skating is hard that he likes a bunch of q anon shit on twitter.

[waffle]

Said it before but I’ll say it again: dude lost his spark and allure post-Really Sorry. Went from loose, high-speed improv to tick-tacking, 3-piece ledge lines in school yards. It’s a shame but it’s the truth.

Whl still the best part of all time, though.

100% agree

those guys being off the team may be similar to how Nike kinda switched it up, at first they had these kinda underground greats squad, then once they got Prod on they just started going for all the high profile riders. All of a sudden Numeric can start commanding these higher profile pros like Jamie Foy and Tiago and they start letting the cult following guys go. Arto was doing a lot of work for the company artistically and photography wise I wonder if him moving to Hawaii ended all that, he's not around anymore like he used to be.

[one-off]

He doesn’t believe in QAnon, he believes in QAnon#

[SatanicPanic]

If you look at Ted Cruz long enough David Icke’s theory that we’re ruled by lizard people in skin suits starts to seem not totally crazy.

Judge a man not by who he follows, but by what his pornhub search history tells.

 PJ Ladd is a legend, and not all the over 30 white males from Boston are racist.

Dang- when did Arto leave? Makes sense for both he and PJ though... I'd like to imagine that there is a stack of unreleased decent quality PJ footage that'll come out eventually. Oh well.

[close]

I think Arto just moved behind the scenes and is basically retired at this point and transitioned into photography. Weird if Marius is off. I feel like I always seem him hyping NB stuff on IG.

[close]

Arto posted a box of Nikes he got from Scuba.  I def think he’s no longer involved at NB.

Goddamn. I’m so behind on shit (being serious about this). Skating should just stop changing.

[georgethecat]

It takes an intelligent person to entertain an idea without accepting it, which explains why so many folks on here can't understand how he would follow Cruz.


And why comments like this get downvoted when they don't play into whatever narrative the modulators are trying to create.   
"Call Mikey Taylor a horse face and watch TK spiral out of sanity; but whatever you do, don't think for yourself"

Sometimes ideas, like yours here, are so galactically stupid as to not even be worthy of being entertained.

You should, though.

[theotherguy]

I am hoping the name-calling and disdain for PJ is only a reflection of the disappointment for not putting out more footage.

Why is it stupid ? You're being very one dimensional.

I follow David Icke because he is funny. I follow some right wing people because I dont want to live in an echo chamber and it is also interesting to see what nonsense they are spouting.

I really don't believe you are stupid enough to think someone must be aligned to X political view because they simply follow X person

Okay, fine. Keeping abreast of Ted Cruz's goings-on is an advanced thought experiment undertaken by highly intelligent people and Slap moderators are trying to advance a political agenda by distracting  us from thinking for ourselves by name-calling Mikey Taylor. You won me over.

I just thought I'd step in. Annoys me when you told someone with a (totally legitimate) different view that he is "galactically stupid" cos it doesn't fit in with the slap group think.

Anyway whatever.....

Some people follow news outlets from across the ideological spectrum to get a view of the big picture. After doing this, a lot of people realize that left wing/right wing outlets are uniquely correct or incorrect on a lot of issues because they are forced to stick to a certain narrative. It stands in the way of progress and only serves to program people.

But I don’t think pro skaters are that on top of things lol.

Honestly, I understand what you're saying; of course there's value in exploring perspectives vastly different from your own. And while I disagree that following Ted Cruz on Instagram means much else than being interested in what Ted Cruz has to say, I was mostly commenting on the idea that there's some great skateboard message board conspiracy that's keeping us from thinking for ourselves. As you were.

[EdLawndale]

One time I was in the bar and it was getting towards closing time and this guy I know from work came up to me and told me there was this youtube channel I should check out. I took out my phone and asked him what it was and he started to fix his mouth to tell me it was the Alex Jones network and I immediately extended my arm, palm out, in a "Stop" motion and went, "Errrrrrrrrrrrrrk, pump your brakes, dog, I am not interested in that shit."

Some people like being told something that confirms their biases. There’s a lot of obvious bullshit out there, but the truth really is just an uncomfortable mix of right/left talking points. There’s too much to unpack in a damn Slap thread lol
