[EXTRA SPICY]

I’ll see myself out for this one:


After Bag o’ Suck, Jerry Hsu’s outward persona made him insufferable. We get it; you’re hot girl cool.

I don’t think insufferable is the right word, but he definitely started coming across as more self-righteous  somewhere between Bag of Suck and his Epicly Laterd.

[LebowskisRug]

I think it's because a lot of people create this interest in his persona and think there's something much deeper there than him just doing what he liked.

[LebowskisRug]

I've always disliked Omar Salazar and thought he didn't belong on Alien.

The Es Koston 1 is the most overrated shoe of all time both for function and fashion. There is no need for them to come back. Any trick ever done in them would of looked better in plain black accells and anyone who bought them would of been better off saving some money and getting accells. (And I don't even really like accells)

[HORSES]

Mike Carroll and Rick Howard shouldn't have top billing on the Lakai team.

[j....soy.....]

Since we’re keeping it current and relevant …..Dale Sausage Man Smith belongs in the skateboard Hall of Fame…

Worble is some whack ass shit

[HeavyAndExpensive]

Worble reminds me of those kids you knew in grade school that you went over there house or to a birthday party and were like "Man these kids are nice but I do NOT want to hang out with them." Then they'd constantly invite you places and think you were friends but you didn't have the heart to tell them you think they're dorks and hate hanging out with them.

Also, SLS needs some variety. Its the same skaters over and over. What's the point? "Hey man you wanna watch Ryan DeCenzo and Gustavo Ribeiro attempt best trick again this week!?"

Oof. The Koston 1 in navy w/gum sole is one of my favorite shoes of all time.
I will relent that they seriously lacked durability, $90 for a shoe that ripped to shreds in 2 weeks was pretty rough for a teenager in 1997

Bad Brains are the most overrated HC band ever

Gustavo Ribeiro
Felipe Gustavo

Even the names all blend together.  It’s bad when watching some of the skaters over and over makes Alex Midler grow on you.  I think I’m a legitimate Midler fan now.  What is my life?

[ungzilla]

not to mention ribiero decenzo

not to mention ribiero decenzo

If Ribiero Decenzo was competing this year I’d be all in.  Those tre-flip noseblunts would look unreal on a Darkstar board skated backwards…

[dannyprovolone]

leave riberio dechenzo alone plz

Take the nostalgia out of it. Imagine you got some navy gum accells instead. I get it tho I'm always thinking about getting some navy or black with the silverish detail Rowley pros again because they were so sick back when but really I know they actually fukn sucked.

[SwitchNollieHeel]

I often think about how I miss my rowley shams, even though they were probably the worst shoes I ever owned for skating

I think 90% of the guys running around wit Bad Brains shirts never heard the music. I don‘t think they are overrated, they were trailblazers in so many ways.

[SwitchNollieHeel]

Will graduate from bad brains gear to dystopia tees

The Tyshawn discussion is kinda going on too long

[Lenny the Fatface]

A 6 page thread about weak logo design was fun but Tyshawn threads are going to Tyshawn thread.

Blue Cheese > Ranch

Nick Matthews is a better , cooler Brad Cromer that doesn't believe in corny mad man conspiracy theories.

Also I love his serial killer stare.

You weren't in 7th grade when they came out I take it? They were actually thinner and less puffy than Accels and skated really well I actually liked all of Koston's eS shoes but the K3 was not durable.

Blue Cheese > Ranch

Ranch is for children.

A nice fromage bleu is for the purveyors of excellent goût

Disrupt > Dystopia

some of the worst kookiest shit in skateboarding

They also don't have their stuff in skate shops, but have pro boards? The only place you can really get their stuff is surprise surprise, their own website or Zumiez. Maybe the odd surf/skate/inline shop.
