i'm just glad that the 2021 "pirate style bandana over the head" look is on its way out. that was terrible.

i think ski masks are gonna continue into next winter tho. i really thought they woulda been a winter 2020/2021 look but they got bigger in 21/22, and all the footage is coming out now. funny how that works.

I saw the world's whitest, gangliest teen put one on and then put his glasses on above the mask at the skatepark a while back. I was gonna save it for Trendwatch 2023 but I guess its already here

About 10 years ago, there was a fully blown skateboarding monk who would be spotted regularly at parks around the city I live in.

He lived in a monastery about an hour out of town and would come to the city to skate - in his full length robe, which would sometimes get tangled around his shoes and shit.

He was a British guy, mid 30s, really nice dude and actually ripped. He had good three flips and pressure flips.

One time, my friend did a neat trick and the monk dude was so impressed, he gave him some kind of little religious medallion.

Couldn't find it just now, but the local newspaper wrote a story about him at the time.

Story goes that in his younger days, he was a sponsored skater in the UK. Then he found God and the rest is history.

I hope he's still skating.

This anecdote is sick. What shoes did he skate

How to reject material objects but still be into skate gear.

Wheels get wider.

Nerds on Slap start saying things like they only ride 52x39mm wheels with a 28mm contact patch.

Wheels get so wide you have to ride narrower trucks to not have your super wide wheels stick out from under your deck.

A Slap thread is started to calculate the optimal truck and wheel combinations for any given deck width.

Did a little more sleuthing and managed to track down the story, but the photo seems to have been removed.

I did, however, manage to dig up this pic of him: https://imgur.com/a/PYxUkUj

His name is Gabriel Cortes and, according to the story, he was born in New Hampshire, USA. I'm sure he had a British accent though, so I'm guessing he grew up there.

Can't remember what shoes he skated, but there's a pretty good view of them in that photo. Can't make out what they are, but maybe someone else can.

I do remember that he always skated blank decks.

Here's the story (complete with mandatory cheesy headline): https://thewest.com.au/news/wa/heaven-is-a-half-pipe-for-friar-ng-ya-323828

Has his own company these days. Unsurprisingly rides a 7.5 on tensors. Nice guy but he can be a little preachy.

The green boards from Yeah Right will make a comeback but with a twist. Only the trucks and wheels will be green so they can easily be keyed out in post production. All future skate videos/clips will look like hover board videos to fool the non skating public.
