Illegal tricks are like mental illness in the sense that they are classified as such by the culture, time period, and apparent maladaptive quality they possess. Yesterday’s illegal tricks are today’s hip new forward thinking revolution.

KB has more parts and video appearances in his career than people give him credit for, going back to the Cliche's Bon Voyage.

I think this is actually common opinion around these parts but Holy fuck i hate seeing Jaws in every single clip I ever see. The fucking inward knee buckling, the stupid cry laughing face about omg I just landed it shit, the fucking endless need to appeal to the worst marketable. Fuck you jaws and especially for choosing to use jaws in your own name. Cunt.

There‘s a popular opinion thread for these kind of generally accepted statements.  ;D
why come?

I met Jaws and Chris Milic around the same time in AZ not really current on skateboarding. Jaws was by far very normal to hang around with and Mango the complete opposite. It’s been well over a decade since but I’m sure this is an unpopular take given where both are at these days.

Skateboarding media does a great job in focusing on the most over the top aspect of a person.

Tony Hawk is actually a really good street skater. Like, legitimately he is as good if not better than any aging street skate hero.

Fred Gall is a fucking kook and him getting the cover of Thrasher was bullshit.

Oh and if you need to know the wheelbase of a deck then you’re a fucking kook too.

It was a couple years ago now and was the berries but that  clip was pretty decent. How big are the blocks? Ollie a 12 at 50 years old? Deeecent.

I don‘t doubt he‘s good but I am happy he doesn‘t do it, I feel it might look like Jaws as he‘s tall and lanky.

Since the major brands have their own threads I feel the new shoe thread is aimed largely at aging men who still want to shop at Zumiez or Pac Sun.

Yeah I had to look just to see if I still agreed with my own opinion. Some pics they looks alright but many still look too short. Can't tell which but they must look like better proportions in certain sizes. (I'm guessing smaller). I don't even think they make 13s so it's something I guess I don't even have to think about now

Crazy-coloured Dunks are sick, and they look even better skated. I would pay double retail for a colorway that grabs my attention. They skate well too, and the leather ones will last a long time. Skating Dunks is a definite flex, and even though it’s corny, I still get a little bit hyped when people match their kicks to their clothes for a clip.

Kilty mcbagpipe/hippy jump is a dork trick. Surprised the hippy high jump wasn’t turned into an Olympic event last year.

Touching the ground on lands/makes has gotten way too commonplace.

Gonna catch some hate here, but I don't think its fun to skate curbs/ do slappies and I hate watching or hearing about people skating curbs. I hope this whole genre of skating dies out like no complies and body varials. It has become a whole subsect of skaters' identities.

Just learn to skate transition if you can't ollie anymore, there's nothing cool or impressive about grinding a 4" obstacle.
