elise hedge. they are sponsored by converse cons, kyota umeki’s star team, and labor skateshop. they. act like hot shit. one time i saw them at substance they said hi and bye to me passive aggressively like im annoying the shit outta them. one day theyre probably gonna smack someone just by saying their name. like “LET ME SKATE” *smack* i swear every time someone approaches them they think theyre hitting on them every time like “i have a bf” like no one asked smfh.
they work at labor skateshop in chinatown ny and theyre probably not gonna get better at skating if theyre gonna keep acting hollywood cause acting famous when not being already out there wont get them anywhere. just cause you have a best friend in supreme and got bill to film you doesnt mean you gotta act like this biggest celebrity on the planet. letting yourself get annoyed by people that just wanna be your friend. being autistic doesnt give them a right to be a dick either.

i think it was cause the first time i met them i was talking to them at tompkins and i was kinda smoking weed in front of them and offered them some. if they ever come across this post im very sorry for making them feel like im a bad influence just cause i smoke weed. i even gave them that supreme sticker with a bear on it. and im sorry i called them low skill on this thread because i told them theyre an am and they deserve am. they deserve to take over the world through skateboarding and i wish them the best

doesn't fit the thread, cause he's skilled as fuck, but i'm pretty sure he thinks skateboarding is old news and boring these days and only skates 3 days a year.
none of us skate we just make fun of it

The popularity contest that sponsored skateboarding is today is a bigger joke than the jackass that tried to say Gailea Momalu isn’t talented.



an excellent video part. Probably the best part in the whole Darkstar video......actually I hated every part in that whole video EXCEPT his. There was some rando clip of him nollie-ing a trash can standing up in a line in like 2005-ish, which was wild. Not sure how tall it actually was but it looked dope.

Is he wrong tho?

He might skate 3 days a year but swoosh was filmed in a very limited time and that shit is timeless. 

I agree with you mate, whoever is dissing him though is clearly trolling. Or deluded.

Edit: also this.

Pretty sure that most skateboarders had nothing but respect for Gailea Momalu. He had a really good style and trick selection and he was a pretty chill dude and easy to talk to and get along with.

There are many skaters I just dont get the allure of.

kevin white is not the least talented, but not above flow level. the fact that he's getting coverage and a pro board (albeit from a homie brand) is insane.
kyota/ shithed? those 2 dudes from ny are not talented compared to kids their age.
some of the girls on poetic collective are really not skilled compared to their other female peers, like if you can't kickflip you shouldn't be getting product.

This guy and it never mattered..I think I mixed up skill with trick selection



Donger did stuff 25 years ago that few people could do today (last kickflip!) with amazing style and the guts do to his own thing 100 percent. Plus very few people had decent pop back then. That part is absolutely timeless.

Time period wise, that era is the place to look though I think.  Seems to me like if you had a white tee, blue jeans, a company owned by your buddies and some half decent tailslides and crooks and you might have stood a decent chance of turning pro in 96/97.

What do you guys think, in what era was it easiest to become a pro?

i think it was cause the first time i met them i was talking to them at tompkins and i was kinda smoking weed in front of them and offered them some. if they ever come across this post im very sorry for making them feel like im a bad influence just cause i smoke weed. i even gave them that supreme sticker with a bear on it. and im sorry i called them low skill on this thread because i told them theyre an am and they deserve am. they deserve to take over the world through skateboarding and i wish them the best
you and i both know that being mad at someone for offering you weed is dumb as shit and is nothing more than a personal issue, if they wanna get that angry about it the police are always hiring
