@SneakySecrets can you name some examples for reference?

I can think of that vans vid that had a sunny day real estate track and then that new foundation vid had some appleseed cast but that is all that comes to mind
[close]
Limosine are pretty heavy on the emo, I back it though
[close]
new last resort vid is also heavy on the (scr)emo, was not expecting it but backing it hard, assuming it's daniel dent's influence

limosine paymaster had no cash, i don't remember any emo tracks tho. the promaster had some instrumental track but don't know who it was

but lookin forward to that last resort vid even more now!

I’m starting to value more the knowledge of current skating more than the history……

yeah paymaster doesn't rly have any proper emo, would say the general vibe is leaning in that direction though. promaster had a you'll live track and some soundcloud rap tribute to camping in alaska which was pretty sick

Standing on a deck and selecting based on vibes is a preferable method to micromanaging dimensions and angles.

Stop talking about it then. I strongly dislike skateboarding being a fashion show too, which is why I'm not part of that. Disregard trends, do whatever you really want. You can do that in skateboarding, that's why it's the best

I dont think this is unpopular. Though that might just be because of the culture at my local. I have been to some parks that were just a total cool guy silent fest, like no props ever, people just ripping. it was weird.

Nah. I'm in and out of the shop in less than 10 minutes. "Do you have the new [blank]," "Yes" Boom, buy it, grip, hardware, outta there. Set it up several blocks away

Why must you slink into the shadows to set it up like a squirrel that just found an acorn?

Miles Silvas had the best part in the new Primitive video.

Pressure flips never look good, sometimes they look acceptable but never good.

While I prefer some shapes/sizes/trucks/shoes to others I generally find advantages on every combo I skate and enjoy them all.

Shields on, always.

Shields off is a psyop by bearing companies to make skaters have to replace their bearings more often.

Fucking yes! Muska skated good but that was it everything was fucking corn. guilty is the most embarrassing video ever I can imagine how draining it was to film any of the "acting" parts.

I could be wrong but I think the skaters hated it too. Wasn't their idea. I think Muska talked about it on Nine Club

Respectfully, it sounds like you have already imbibed in said koolaid.
Do you mind if I ask what flavor shieldless koolaid is?
Tropical Punch, or… ?

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

It doesn't matter how tight or how loose a pro rides their trucks as long as they don't tictac or do shit beyond acceptable sloppiness.

shoe takes:
-90% of vans collabs are ugly
-while some look good, adidas make terrible skate shoes that are uncomfortable
