On rails, ledges, or both?

I can understand on handrails that a balanced 5-0 can look wack

I agree with this. Not only because I can't balance them, but also because I've never seen a balanced 5-0 on a ledge and thought it was particular more sick than a non-balanced one. Balanced nosegrinds however, a thing of beauty.

I don't give a fuck about old dead skater bros
Very impolite but truth, it's mostly the same as celebrities death, sure it's a loss and all but no one's crying about it other than the people who were actually close. Grosso and Phelps were kind of a bummer to lose though because they brought something other than their skill to skateboarding.

I’m guessing this is a repeat but shoelace belts are kind of lame. I feel like people wear them to try to seem skater-ish.

the idea of someone choosing to look like shit in an attempt to seem like a real skater is funny, to me at least.
i agree that they're lame, but i use a shoelace mainly, because it's cheaper than a belt and can be used for a number of things.
y’all not fuckin with what i’m fuckin with

while i mostly agree with you for all the same reasons, GC did one last month with a kf out that was perfect.

not sure if this is unpopular but fuck gear madness in 2022 i’m tired of wondering if my set up is perfect for me and after these thunders are done i’m going back to indy forged

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.
Quoted for angst.

It looks great backside.

As girl skaters progress, the FA type of niche lifestyle models as pro skaters will begin to phase out.

I think balanced 5-0s depend on the spot and application, but on ledges particularly I like them as more of a "power" trick than a finessed one. So fast 5-0 that just bashes the ledge is cooler to me than what is essentially a manual on the corner, but there are exceptions.

The obsession with “pinch” on tricks being the best way to do them is getting obnoxious IMO. Especially among corny social media-heavy skaters. Also sick of the criss-cross lock in guys do on the really big rail 50-50s.

I don't want to see your fucking underwear especially your shitty tea towel kmart boxers flapping around. (See that aleka guys second line). Sagging pants always looked fucking awful and also is impractical. We were smart to stop doing it and now dickheads are bringing it back. When society has it too easy for too long they start inventing problems.

We had pants that fit and you could move properly now they get worn low that restricts your legs sideways movement. Shoes that worked perfectly like the Koston and prod Nike, Mike mo DC and all the vans etc but for extra challenge the next gens bringing back the big brick shoes.

There were also the cons Kenny Anderson 2 that were almost the same shoe. A little gripper sole but it wore out a bit faster.

I don’t know how Koston even skated in those cup soles. Imagine what he could have done with some vulcs
