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.

I only buy the made in England docs now. I recommend those. Huge quality difference despite the company claiming there’s no difference in manufacturing.

nothing's been the since same

bump cuz I've been noticing it now that it's spring.


While it's certainly well intended, I can't help but feel like there's a line between leaving some used gear at the park/spot for grabs and dumping your trash among skaters for them to deal with. I've seen a few instances of someone leaving shoes/boards/trucks that are in such rough shape you'd be better off dumpster diving for product.

I was literally of thinking of donating a used board that is still in pretty god shape that has a little bit of razor tail to my local shop but wasn't sure if it was common for shops to take donated skate stuff.

Mine takes them and will even offer you a slight discount if you drop one off to buy a new one.



Some of the boards I've seen left behind definitely had more than a little razor tail, haha.

Sounds to me like “mission: accomplished.”
Er’body knows the two of them are/were part of an economic black-ops program established by “Big Shoe” in order to decimate the smaller skate shoe companies.
Dylan was “removed from the theater of operations” by counter agents/measures put in place by Kieth Hufnagel as a last ditch effort to rescue his company.
Austyn then killed off Huf as a warning to Pierre André, Van Doren dude, etc.
Austyn then returned to his original directive and targeted Globe.
“Operation Poison Pill” continues unabated.





Maybe I should take this to the conspires thread?

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

Whether it’s flat ground or over stairs/gaps, heel flips are considered acceptable in situations where kickflips would be considered too basic. This has always seemed completely arbitrary to me.

I've read documentation now stricken from the record which explicitly states Elijah's pro model was also part of this operation's Zone of Action. His ability to reverse-engineer style and design made him a prime target.
Oh, the places you'll go.

Peterblunts are frontside pivots to fakie. Randy Ploesser kickflipped one to fakie on a barrier, that is impressive. I don't pop out I just kind of fakie manual back in. Probably why they don't seem that hard, I do them the bullshit easy way

Just playing, I’m mostly just jealous. I’ve been here all week and it’s an amazing vibe. It’s listed as a skate park on maps, but it’s obviously a natural spot. It feels like a city block sized skatepark. I mean that in the best way possible.

That's probably the hardest way to do them! Easiest is reverting out with all four wheels on the transition

While it's certainly well intended, I can't help but feel like there's a line between leaving some used gear at the park/spot for grabs and dumping your trash among skaters for them to deal with. I've seen a few instances of someone leaving shoes/boards/trucks that are in such rough shape you'd be better off dumpster diving for product.

I was literally of thinking of donating a used board that is still in pretty god shape that has a little bit of razor tail to my local shop but wasn't sure if it was common for shops to take donated skate stuff.

I leave them at the skatepark or popular spots. Twice now, I've later seen kids skating my trashed deck. One kid was absolutely destroying on it, which was nice to see.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

What bill does is the antithesis of standard skate filming and it’s the perfect version of that. It should be appreciated.
