Elijah Berle comes off as a kook with the Dylan cosplay.
[close]
Seems like a pretty common opinion around here. He was even doing the waiter arm thing for a bit. Last time I checked, he’s pulled a Baca and went full cholo.

Could his posture be any more odd?  He looks like an inter-dimensional being that just put on its human suit and flitted into existence.
he doesn’t know what he’s doing just look at those sunglasses

Skateboarding needs height classes. 6' skaters should not be judged the same as 5' 7" skaters.
[close]

Agreed, and especially 6'2 + skaters can just pop over stuff way easier then others

For instance I think Tyshawn's sideways table kickflip was more impressive, compared to Diego's.

Besides Tyshawn's being at a demo and I know Diego did it first; but Diego is almost 6'4. Tyshawn looks about 5'10 - 5'11  or effectively 6' with shoes, and that may be the shortest that could accomplish the feat tbh , but I'd love to be proved wrong. ( I could see Bobby or Christian Maalouf doing it too )
People with the highest pop are usually shorter, you can only tuck your legs in so far and you still need a high jump to do anything in skateboarding. Also adding to what Mean Salto said, not only you have to move more leg but it's also way easier to jump and leave the board behind when you're tall, short people have more space to slide their foot.

Some evidence on the whole weight thing, notice how the shorter dude jumps the lightest.

Question: I just took a side job to make a little extra cash, but I was hired on as a 1920s laborer & now they want me me working every day like I’m Ben Raybourn. Am I cool to wear carpenter pants, or nah?
I need that green light from you before I pull the trigger on a pair of these Supreme jawns w/ the hammer loop. They come pre splattered with a paint like substance that I can only presume is Strobeck semen, so my new boss thinks I’ve been hard at work when in reality, I’ve been eating my lunch from a tin box, up on this I-beam all day.

Not blue collar approved.

I was a labourer for a bit last year, am I allowed to wear carhartt and carpenter pants?

can you elaborate? ive heard this before, but i genuinely don't understand why this opinion exists. homie likes to wear a beanie and dickies with his undershirt tucked in. i don't think dylan has a copyright on the fit

I imagine the thinking is that, when you have a skater as uniquely talented, stylish and iconic as Dylan, and especially when that person dies so young, it's inevitable that people who dress similarly are going to draw comparisons.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

if you think you need to 'push' your homie because they are doing tricks the 'easy' way, it's pretty whack.

i.e. doing a trick fs vs bs

took me a yr to realize my friend was just a dipshit and i'm just better at bs tails than fs tails

I love bladers. roller skaters. aggressive inlining. all of it. never gotten into it and heard they used to wax everything like the top of a Manny pad and it sucked but I miss them. they are so much cooler than scooters or even bmx. im scared as shit when a group of those people are at the park. they throw around their bikes/scooters all the time when they fall and take up way to much space. also crossing everyones line through the park and doing unexpected bank to bank bunny hops. its loud as fuck when they fall and their packs hit the ground. I always get scared when I hear that noise all of a sudden because I think they finally broke someones neck by swinging around their bike/scooter. FUCK BMX AND SCOOTER. LONG LIVE ROLLERBLADING. get yourself a dirt bike/ city bike

Garrett Hill was one of the hardest ripping skaters of the 2000s. He wore one pair of goofy court jester pants and that's all anyone has ever talked about since, despite the fact it was one of the first tre flip 50s ever done on a rail

All he had to do to live that down was to drop coffees eating shit rolling on his skateboard

This is huge where I am. Honestly the preponderance of roller skaters seems to have taken a lot of the wind out the sails of a burgeoning female skate scene. Many such cases!

That photo is weird as fuck. However, I kinda dig cowboy/western Elijah. Seems more genuine to me.

The skateboard industry ignored them and now they’ll easily drop $400 on a set of quads and pads.
