While I really like the look of the halfcab shoe, I don't feel like giving Steve Caballero my money.

That’s weird. I never got the half cab hype. Just don’t see what’s so great about them. Not a fan of how they look at all.

I think they look great, just feel like they'd be a little too bulky for my liking.

Front Boards on ledges are fun and can look cool.

Pop shuvs out of kickers are rad.

That should fill all the boxes for this thread.
Don't want cab to get money for his shoe but don't mind giving him credit for a trick he didn't invent.

Why?

It's hard to explain. Let's just say I am more of a fan of Ray Barbee for example. He seems way more down to earth, modest and friendly. Something about Cab always irked me, for reasons I don't know. His internet appearance doesn't help either. It all seems like acting to me, I dunno.
Maybe it's that case, when people act all cool and chill and they aren't like that in real life. Although I never met Cab of course. Maybe someone on here met Cab and can correct me. @JRF maybe?

I love the way a half cab looks, I would wear one to chill but I’ll never wear one to skate again. In my experience the sole is much more narrow than the upper and so it folds over a bit. This has lead to many, many rolled ankles for me. Even if I tie it tight but that looks like dogshit. And I have thin feet…Sk8-hi 4 lyfe

Get yourself a Blackstone Griddle and you can make restaurant quality smash burgers (or better) on your back porch!

I was 17 when I was friends with cab. I really can’t say if he is a chill dude nowadays.. after I was kicked off powell I never really heard from him again… he stopped being friends with caswell when caswell left powell to ride for toy machine. I thought that was pretty lame. Caswell had a good reason to leave powell at that time, he had a lot more opportunities open up for him by quitting powell, so cab should of been stoked for caswell, after all, they were friends and cab should’ve been stoked for him because it was blatantly obvious that it was the right move for caswell to make. I know that doesn’t really answer the question and I can’t really say what type a person cab is these days because people change obviously.. ray barbee has always been an awesome person and very interesting to hang out with and talk to.

I'm liking the frying pan burgers right now (altho I tend to like less fancy thing, like a peasant) even occasionally go extra minimal effort and throw a burger in the oven. Still pretty nice.

(Soz double post)
Maybe less unpopular these days but a video part doesn't have to be over two mins and definatly doesn't have to be over five mins. Also shouldn't take more than a year to make.

not a 2022 unpopular opinion but generally an unpopular opinion

foundation wtf was a pretty good video, they had a sick team at the time and the music was on point, first time i ever heard minor threat or pixies (video came out in the year i started skating). also nick merlino has a bangin part in it, sw back 3 rincon, nollie flip hollywood 16, shit like that
I'm ok with theft. It happens to me all the time.
I steal too

I agree. Skating is so sick right now.

As long as you avoid IG and TikTok you can avoid the worst of skating pretty easily. But it's there is you enjoy indulging in hate watching.
Skateboarding is the ultimate challenge.

Heel lock is the only proper way to do 5050s plus it looks better. Yes I skate round rails and don't cross lock because that wasn't a thing when I was learning them.
