From what I remember at the time Polar started, those kind of logos were having a bit of a boom, and I thought it was pretty unoriginal

It took me like 3 years to realize the logo was made from the letters of Polar.  Simple-minded mf.

I can't respect people who wear those barefoot shoes. It just screams Crossfit/fitness kook.

Crook back lip was the sickest trick in the new Baker vid.  I feel like Figgy’s aware that he does a lot of crooks, and that crook back lip is an “uncool” trick, which makes it that much better.  As he rolled up I knew it would be a crook of some kind, but I did not expect that at all.  The switch over was so quick and the slide so long, best that trick’s ever been done.

Agreed - was surprised by how much I enjoyed that clip.

Also, Worble videos are fun and packed with enough impressive skating to keep them from being too corny. Idk about Cobra Man though.

Has anyone done a crook backlip where the crook was actually locked in for a decent length of time?

Darkness to Cobra Man is an excellent analogy. They’re both similarly very good at what they do, but at this point I cannot imagine actively listening to modern nostalgic music like that.

Ishod’s style is blandly understated and lacks character.  He rips for sure but he also seems a little too aware of his universally sung praise.

They did a Christmas song called "Don't let the bells end". Not sure if you have that word in the US but in the UK where they're from Bellend is a common insult / slang for the head of the penis

the lead singer has his own youtube page (justin hawkins) where he talks about the music industry aswell as listens to new/old bands that people recommend and tells reasons as to why they may have became populer etc. or why he likes/dislikes them plus alot more. was never a fan of the darkness in there heyday but he comes across alright on that imo.

I don't remember who, but I definitely saw someone do a really good one in a video within the past year or two where they locked the crook well and popped into the back lip real proper. I remember thinking it was cool, but the way Figgy did it was the exact reason people hated on that trick when skaters did it in the first place.

Is Worble actually a board company like can you actually go into a skate shop and purchase a board? Or are they just a crew that does merch in the IC mould?

I stopped caring about the board brands I skate since all prices went to the roof, I'd buy anything I can get at the shop that doesn't have a crazy shape but its cheap enough
[close]

Brand loyalty beyond the category of “this works for me” is infantile. Like I get it if you love a certain shoe and that’s what you want to skate, but when someone is seriously trying to clown on someone for skating the wrong deck or wearing the wrong shoes, they better be sub-16 years of age.

Im a extremist brand loyalist when it comes to myself. i only ride dlx boards, vans, and ace trucks. but i think its fine to be a brand loyalist for yourself but the second you kook on someone else for not riding what you like you have crossed a line. I think other brands are sick and people should ride what they want but myself i have an exact taste that i like.

Globe is tight. I can't wait to see what the restructuring looks like. Getting to come in and restructure the skate division with all the resources they have is a cool opportunity.

Bring back dekline.

Austyn isn't moving the needle at Globe. He's taking a big pay cheque which can in return can fund Former, and he can live comfortably.

Putting a guy like Christian Malouf on doesn't do anything for the company other than Austyn getting his friend paid. I think he knows it too.

Maybe the globe rebrand is gonna be all indie earth tone wearing dudes. Would line up with their surf side of the brand kind of well. A bunch of slim fit, warm weather beanie, long sleeve shirts with three buttons at the top kinda guys.
