I’m pretty sure nyjahs butt could 5050 a 20 stair in crocs, so that theory is purely subjective.

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.

If you skate to get attention from other people you skate for all the wrong reasons.
not saying i skate for attention, i just prefer to have more skaters around so it doesn't get boring. then again the skate scene in my town is pretty much non-existent, maybe i'd have a different opinion if i lived in a city or something with actual spots.
y’all not fuckin with what i’m fuckin with

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

This is what slappies look like to outsiders, smashing the board into the curb,  but it’s actually quite a a lot more subtle and low impact. In fact, they can be quite delicate.

I think of them to be about as difficult as an ollie, nut in a different way. Both tricks are a bit counter-intuitive to first-timers.

The trick to slappies is not to smash the board into the curb, but at the moment of impact lighten your front foot to allow the froth trucks to get on (and then the back foot). It’s a very fast, very subtle movement that you don’t catch by watching people do them.

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+

i dont think this is an unpopular opinion. i dont know a single person who dislikes slappies and im 24

Which Vans have you tried? The Kyle Walker 1’s are by far the most comfortable skate shoe I think I’ve ever had, and they skated amazing. Sk8-Hi’s can be a little stiff at first but once broken in are incredibly comfortable too. I can see authentics and era pro’s (?) being uncomfortable but otherwise I love how comfy vans can be.

Short grinds on long ledges, by professionals, have got to go. Tricks like a kickflip nose-grind have turned into kickflip nose-bonks.
Oh, the places you'll go.

hustleknocker just said in so many words that they don’t respect or fear death.  This person is a demigod and not safe to hug.  Think about it.

You’ll end up in another dimension or something.

if yours is the unpopular opinion then i guess mine would be the popular one... but flip in/flip outs are, to me at least, much more impressive with less time between the two.

what's that?

There's this whole hustle culture out there which says that a person needs to be constantly working and extracting monetization from every moment of their lives

anyone that does a boneless at the skate park in front of me essentially labels themselves as mentally immature and a fraud. why the fuck are you doing little child tricks at the skate park homie? physically putting your hand on your board when doing a trick is the ugliest, most foul thing you could do as a "skater". lets collectively move past little kid tricks, and do cool things like 180 no complys and late flips.
