pants looked better in footage right before everyone cared so much about pants (2016-2018)

Agree and I'd even nudge it forward two years. If you knew what was up you weren't in the side pipe'n chinos by then anyway. Shoes were better then too. Actually has any product got better in the last five years? It's certainly more expensive.

I’m kinda in between on the whole pants debate. There are some dudes that can pull off the baggy pants look and some that look awful just following trends. Same goes with highwaters and cuffed pants. I honestly hated those years because so many guys that followed the trend looked corny as fuck.

Shoes definitely feel a lot cheaper now. I’ve been skating the Lakai Telfords and the leather on them feel like some cheap designer shoes.

Cuffed pants look horrible

It's the unpopular opinion thread so you can think what you want but I feel like this is just the natural reaction to the last fashion. I don't like pants hanging over shoes and actually hate it if it's caused by sagging. All we've done is traded two inches of socks for two inches of undies.

I just don't understand how it's so popular but swooshy joggers are a lame jock look. Don't they accomplish the same thing of not having baggy ass Pants that require adjustment every trick?

I really like those Arizona Ice Tea team edits that pop up on Transworld’s youtube from time to time. 

I feel like the heinous fits and Arizona Ice Tea griptape doom them to eternal obscurity though.

That’s awesome, they seem like they’d be really fun to skate with.  Bunch of unpretentious, hyped up maniacs.  At least that’s what it looks like from the outside.

I start watching them but then the grip kills me. I can’t focus on anything but how bad the grip is. So I find other stuff.

I like that they're basically Natural Koncept 2022.

Also I'm just a fan of the green tea and would probably throw a hat with that print into the rotation. No griptape though plz.

You're spot on. From the website:

In early 2007, AriZona started to take interest in an elite, underground skate brand, known as ‘Natural Koncept‘. Relating to it’s street-style and raw creativity, AriZona aligned with Natural Koncept’s, JZ Radical sending him around the globe to find and collaborate with the best in the skate game.
After sponsoring countless tours throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe and even parts of Asia we’re stoked to officially introduce the AZ skateboard team consisting of world class riders Brandon Bonner aka Bonestalone, Colombian Superstar Juan Pablo Velez, Santo Domingo born Carlo Carezzano, Connecticut’s JJ Colon and NYC’s  Leo Heinert. 
The Amateur squad consists of Costa Rica’s Jefferson “YiYo” Obando, Argentina ripper Eugenia Ginepro & Miami’s Simon Vasquez.
The team recently finished the Piña Colada Tour in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Look out for the next AriZona Skate Tour coming to a city near you. Over here, everyone agrees AriZona Iced Tea’s 99 ¢ent Big Can is the official beverage of street skateboarding. What do you think?

anyone who is hate watching, hate posting about, or hate engaging in any way with BATB12/the BATB12 thread is ultimately contributing to its success, regardless of how much you criticize it

I haven't been following the skate world so much the last 3 months and was legit surprised that BATB12 is still running. But I don't feel like reading 60 pages of that thread nor feel like watching all the games.

Can someone tell me the highlights so far?
Are the finals in sight now?

Thanks in advance. Scientology is lame.

i don't know anybody IRL who is complaining about BATB12. this counters the opinion that OC said, i think we all focused any logs of shit we gave about BATB and moved on with our lives


either way, I only hear people complain on slap. I think everybody under the age of 30 doesn't give a shit about the Berrics

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
[close]

That's one of the most popular opinions
[close]

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.

this is funny because Ishod himself on the 9 club said  that lipslides on ledges are ass as well.

the success of having 100k+ views on every video in the series and a 100 page thread on slap discussing the event, which will likely convince hypebeast and steve berra that the event is still relevant and the berrics is worth the investment


and when did you start your internship with steve?

Wow, now I regret that I asked.
Sounds like really good time at the Berrics nowadays.
Steve still trying to be relevant with all means necessary. So they want our money in the app to watch the finals? Can't say I am surprised by any of this ^^

if your smooth brain can’t absorb the idea that hate watching and engagement is still engagement nonetheless and media outlets generally use engagement to track success then i think we’re done here

edit: sorry, that was a little harsh for the conversation but i don’t think pointing out that metric-wise, BATB12 is pretty successful regardless of the reason you’re watching it makes me a shill for steve berra

The whole thing about "if you comment on something you're a participant" being some kinda big contradiction has always been weird to me. It's a skateboarding topic and we're on a skateboarding forum, and I don't think going out of your way to post criticisms has as much stake as people think. I'm sure people hating on BATB aren't punching their desks and foaming at the mouth because the Berrics is doing a bad job. At most it seems like a bit of schadenfreude to watch them fumble, which isn't really that deep. I know I spend most of my time on this site while I'm on the clock, and when I log off for the day anything I post or read about here occupies very little of my mind, and I'd like to think that's the case for most of us.


So sure, hate watching is technically contributing in terms of raw number of views, but there are worse things I could waste five minutes doing.
