landing something on street doesn't make it more impressive than at a park, and you can achieve most if not all you can at a street spot at a park instead, with more people around.

that being said curbs are fun as fuck, and i will never stop leaving the park for the slappy spot.
y’all not fuckin with what i’m fuckin with

Only if you live in California or something, a lot of places have a lot worse conditions than the park, not to mention how they're not made for skateboarding so the proportions are all fucked up.

It really depends what it is. Techno Manny or ledge then yeah fuck it do it in a park. Everything else go find an interesting spot.
Filming a whole video part in some perfect city in China or whatever tho kinda rubs me the wrong way. It basically is filming in a park only for the even more privaledged. its the worst of street being less impressive than a park.

Peanut m&ms > regular m&ms
[close]

This is not an unpopular opinion. Quite literally everyone who eats M&M’s knows this.

I thought this might be the more popular opinion, but because the regulars are the classics I thought they’re probably more popular overall.

Peanut Butter m&m's > all other m&m's …especially almond

Seriously the best M&Ms were the Crispy ones. Too bad they haven't made those in so long.

A good double sided curb will give you at least 2.5x that.

If you skate to get attention from other people you skate for all the wrong reasons.

Yes.
Yes, you will.
In the interim, enjoy those gaps, rails, hubbas, etc.
See you at the curbs in another decade or so. Looking forward to having you join us.

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

Perfect timing for my unpopular opinion:
I think slappies are way scarier and more dangerous than most other stuff except big gaps of course.

I would agree but probably because I try to swing by my curb spot every day. In terms of day-to-day skating a mini will fucking sneak up on you and snap your shit if youre not careful

I love slappies, but they are beyond easier than standard ledge skating. There's for sure a technique and a learning curve but once you figure it out it's cake.

Just for the fun of it. (I'll exadurate for the banter, but only slightly) I think slappys are skateboardings biggest bitch move and by far the most overhyped movement of the last few years. You're what 6 inches off the ground? Fuck look out Evel Knievel comin thru

I get bored of slappies super quick I would rather pop into things even a curb. Slappies always struck me as something for people that aren't coordinated enough to do so, but want all the grind and slide marks on their boards.

I've never learned slappies, for me it feels like riding against something and hoping for the best, possible slipping out and just dying. I'd rather skate a knee high ledge or rail because I know exactly how my trucks are going to land on it and grind.
Using so much force by smashing into it, while still controlling the movement is something I don't understand. The closest thing I can do is a wallie.
I wish I could slappy feeble, must feel awesome

Kind of says more about you than people who do slappies, no?

JK, I welcome this hypothetical anti-slappy backlash. More curbs for me, bro!

Slappies got a lot of old men off the couch and thus sold a lot of skate product. Love 'em or hate 'em. Some of us have been doing them for 30 years+

Don't get me wrong some of the crazy pretzel variations or doing them at high speed definitely takes skill, but I see it similar to a lot of the ledge dancing stuff that doesn't really float my boat. I can see how it's super fun if you're really good at it, but you could say that about any type of skating.
