Lipslides on ledges are ass. I don’t care if you flip in, flip out, do it switch, whatever. It’s just not a good looking trick

True. I feel like a lot of pros are runnin em though. Ishod just had one in his most recent part, which is what made me think of it.

I honestly feel sorry for you if you don’t think a long-arse back lip on a ledge isn’t an absolute thing of beauty, nay a piece of art..

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

Back lip regular and switch is the only acceptable one. But back smith or back tail trumps back lip on a ledge 99.9% of the time.

^What a dumbass opinion. California is not a monolith it's a huge state with lots of places in it that are different, stupid. Last time I checked skateboarding is still hard despite your geographical location. Where are you from that's so fucking cool?
[close]

Where I'm from isn't necessarily "cool", Cali is just fucking wack. It's much easier to learn and progress on perfect concrete, with great weather, with a shop on every corner, and pros at every park. There's plenty of stories about cali dudes touring the east coast and having a very difficult time. I know that's all anecdotal, but I've never heard of the inverse happening. I also feel like the accessibility of skateboarding out west has watered it down to some degree, when the hoops you have to jump through to have a good sesh are fewer, the dedication necessary to have said sesh is lower. I would wager that many people that skate in cali would not skate or they would skate far less if they were subject to east coast conditions. I feel like this is all pretty obvious and reasonable. but w/e

The entire NBA is soft, except of course the Denver Nuggets + any hooper who grew up playing in the mile high city n made it to the league at any point thereafter. None of MJs rings count btw cuz the elevation at his home court and training facilities sat at a mere 500 ft! Any real scholar knows these statements to be true.

I can't really watch Oski unless it's once every few weeks on IG or something. I dunno why, he is really good at skating parts but it gets kinda repetitive and boring after a while. He kinda brings Polar down and doesn't fit (clothes aside) and should just be on Real or something.

Dude name a better boot silhouette than blundstones...
Minimal/lowkey shape you expect with any chelsea boot but also have a lug sole for durability/practicality.

Better than SLP's robin hood lookin ass chelsea boots... those are real kook kicks imo.

The vans slip on is the skate low derivative on a lug chelsea boot. I don't think there is a more subtle skate shoe than that

Lol the sk8-hi boots scream "I need to wear skate brands even in the snow cause I'm a soul skater" a lil too much for me personally. But yea they pull off what a lot of sneaker boots can't

You've played yourself if u don't think doc chelsea is the same thing as a blundstone but with yellow stitching on the midsole.

Sk8-hi boots? Swing and a miss! Baby I just stated sk8-hi’s, not the MTE/boot thing. I’ve done it all in the OG ones (e.g., 80+ mile backpacking trips, prescription burns, bar nights, day hikes, snow flights, tre flips knee height, etc.), add a snake skin sock liner and you’re going everywhere. But good effort there Tiger, keep swinging.

Also, glad to hear you can see. You are correct, the doc Chelsea is the same thing as a blundstone, just not a blundstone. Get it? Estillo. Goes far.

Why am I still typing? No further responses will be considered.

Just want to chime in and say that Docs are like the Heart Supply of the boot world. Anyone you see wearing them you just know right away they have no idea what good boots are.
