I will say that the Alien team right before it peaced ie. Dylan, Gilbert etc. even without Ave and Dill would have been better than minefield roster….but it’s slap, most would agree with that and would admit that roster was bloated…

At least that team seemed more like one thing. I love mind field but it does feel like two seperate teams in that video. Kinda wish arto stuck around tho

Alien 2.0 is sicker than Mind Field-era AWS. Aside from Jake Johnson, Mind Field was sort of dull. I just don't like superteams and Dyrdek's and Mikey's parts should have been left on the cutting room floor. New Alien has a much more interesting, low-key mix of styles, is generally cooler and makes me want to skate more than 2000s AWS.

Yikes. Knew I was getting into a hornet's nest with this take but did not expect hostility

Shaped decks detract from street footage and don’t hold a functional use 99% of the time therein (boards were historically shaped for function).

I’m hyped to see more Ryan Lay footage without this visual obstruction.

I almost posted this the other day but bailed on it but I agree.


not so much in Ryan's case, but there have been a lot of times I've seen a street skater with a shaped board and thought that whatever trick they were doing would probably be performed better on a modern skateboard.

Except Chico, Bannerot and CK1. I think both their footage looks better on the Big Boy, Couch and Huffer/ Phawt shapes.

Agreed and thus is why I included a 1% component for exception.

You guys are a disgrace to the legacy of Slap magazine. John Tripp should have never made this place. This is skateboardings hell.

The Courthouse should go to make way for 930 housing units. 430 of them affordable.

I actually thought Slap got cooler as a magazine in 1995 when the price went up from $1.50 and there was a glossy scented CK One ad smack in the middle of one of my issues.

Little kids from the hood from disadvantaged families have it even less easy getting into skateboarding when there’s snow on the ground a large part of the year and getting into indoor skateparks cost money. Think about what you’re saying.

I'm not a diehard Jr. or Tosh fan and I loved that part, but, perhaps it's the exception which proves the rule.
Oh, the places you'll go.

Def a classic for a reason, and I think it "works" with the part, I just can't stand the sad teenager vibes I get from shit that sounds like that.

But goddamn he makes those MJ2s look good

Genuinely don't know how unpopular this is, but calling transition tranny in this day and age is lame as fuck. At best it's ignorant as hell, and I've had people use it maliciously against me and my friends too many times to just let it slide.
what quality posts do you have under your umbrella son of a bitch

The Chocolate section from Yeah Right! should have been its own video.

Keenan Tribute/Part
MJ Intro
MJ Part
Montage
Mike York
Justin Elridge
Gino
Outro/Credits


The whole thing would clock in at 20 mins and would be on a lot of peoples favourite videos list. Yeah Right! becomes more watchable from start to finish too.

Where did the bad men touch you with their parts?
