The most impressive 50-50 is not locked at all, just balanced in the middle

Since we’re on 50/50s and cross locked vs toe or heel. I can’t stand front 50s that are cross locked heel(front) toe(rear) grossest shit ever.
Or back 50/50s on transition that are locked toeside only to slide the truck to heel before coming back in. Do it cross to begin with or come in from the toe lock.

If your trucks touch the rail on a 50-50 you're straight kooking it.

This isn't too hot or unpopular, but manual tricks have always bored me, despite knowing how difficult they are. There are a few I can dig but generally, it's just a snooze fest. Especially when they're combo'd to some basic grind or boardslide or pivoted around to another manual to another grind etc.

I'd rather watch ledge skating than manuals personally.

Funny, judging by these pics I was sure it was a W for team heel lock.

My friend who doesn't skate saw a Gou Miyagi part and described it as "what it would be like if the Three Stooges skated".

That's hilarious. Love Gou, but that's a pretty apt description.
Skateboarding is the ultimate challenge.

There are too many skateboarders now. Stop encouraging people to skate.

Cross lock looks like "oops I missed the smith".

To me in this photo it looks more like “I’m in control, and probably about to carve through/pump the shit out of this grind,” whereas the heel lock looks a bit more like “Holy shit! Made it on! Gonna hold on for dear life!” Both are acceptable and have their own charm.

The point about long-term trending toward bigger boards and hence trucks correlating with more cross-locks always seemed pretty obvious to me. And besides looks, cross-lock on a round tail has always felt more satisfying to me, regardless of how anyone thinks it looks.

One of the hardest things about watching Louie Barletta is that awful haircut.

Seriously fuck these kicker ramps off already. I'd rather see a plain ollie to 5050, boardslide or noseslide than whatever hard trick using the aid of a kicker ramp.

He just doesn’t take skating too seriously bro. It’s just a vibe. He’s just having fun. He does, however, take being a cool guy 10,000% seriously.

Kicker to kicker is fine, but I don't like kicker to flat.
