Self proclaimed "Skate Goat" (yuck) pulls out double flips two tricks in= tasteless fake Pro

Chris Joslin replies with half cabs= tasteful legit Pro

the proof is in the pudding on this one.
Seriously at first I was like - what is Joslin doing? But it was like oh yeah he’s just clowning this guy for going straight to double flips

I think some Joe tried some ugly ass double heelflips or tricks he knew Koston wasn't great at (hardflips) in the first pros vs joes early on, and I think Koston just fucked him over by responding with some fucked up early 90's pressure flips. I thought that was the best response to the try hards, but I don't think many pros have that many crazy early 90's tricks.

You're probably thinking about the Koston vs Nick Holt game.

Yeah, pretty sure that was it. The whole joe concept ruined it, to be honest. I can't blame these kids with no industry name to play respectfully when there is a cash price and they have no reputation to lose. But, it probably stops a ton of pros who may have gone on before to continue.

Sorry if any of this has been covered, but three questions:

1. How much is Cariuma paying these guys (their skaters/the berries)?

2. Is there some kind of requirement and/or bonus for be sponsored by Cariuma?

3. Joslin on vaxxing?

Berriuma is probably just paying their rent at this point.

they were a game short because of a covid scare followed by a joslin game. probably nothing, but an interesting coincidence

He was checking for weaknesses, then moved straight for the kill. The real master strives for efficiency.

out of interest i rewatched this game (lol, yeah i know.) and that's not really what happened. kid already got three letters and koston none. so he had to make a move and try some shit to get some letters on koston (i.e. hardflips). also koston was the first one to set a pressure flip he didn't make, even though he had zero letters and was not really under pressure and the kid hasn't even set his double heels but did a hardflip and tried fakie hardflip. double heel variations came after koston's pressure flip attempt. but yeah as someone pointed out already, joes have nothing to lose and a lot to prove, in whatever ways. it's death or glory for them. so it's only rational for them to come out of the gates swinging with some fucked up double-unusual-flip-stance-much-rotation-revert-circus-tricks. that's then probably two different things, rationality for the joe and aesthetics for the viewers. whatever. i enjoy watching this shit, even the bad games...

It's more a lot of the joes do these tricks while also looking horrifically doing them. I thought it was cool when Cory came out doing crazy shit vs Ramondetta but he was generally doing the tricks pretty well with pop and not skating at a snail's pace.

Alex midler is quickly running up the ranks as my most hated skater. Hes good but i’d be happy if i never saw him again.

This Berra fuck really gonna try to play off his fumble like it's because they wanna disinfect all the park's surfaces, out of an abundance of concern for the safety of others?
All true Xenites know that with high enough of an operating thetan level, they'll be immune from the affects of the infection.
Everybody else is, by now, aware that COVID viral transmission usually results from contact w/ airborne droplets of bodily fluids (spit/mucus/etc.) and NOT typically by touching shared/common surfaces.
What might/could contribute to spreading the virus though, would be to put a group of people together, inside of an enclosed environment, while an athletic endeavor (read: skating) is underway. But hey, let's just pretend we're sanitizing the joint as a cover for the fact that a bunch of our competitors are declining to participate.
They actually came clean in that very same announcement from the start of the video, but then redirected & started fronting like they were looking out for public health.
It's a fucking online forum, for crying out loud... They can't skip the 15/20 pointless guests & just have the essential staff & talent be a) vaxxed, and b) tested within 24 hours of the battle?!? If the freaking olympics can pull it off on that massive scale, surely these goofs can manage to wrangle a weekly warehouse meeting of about 10 people.
Fucking rooks.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

these games aren't live, right? so hypothetically, the whole season could be over but they're postponing broadcasting for bullshit? and if the park is open for sunny soljah and bette midler's kid, why not the real players?

I remember someone on the /esg/ general posting a link to how deep both Berra and Koston were. There is a site which has extensive data on this. Anyone know which one it is? I'd love to check if Sunny is in there.
