I like gifted hater but after watching that video i dont think i would want to skate with him

[close]

Why? Cuz he'd whoop that ass in s.k.a.t.e.?

[close]

would you wanna skate with this gifted hater?

his cringey celebration of the ender was ironically the best part, i was waiting for someone to aggressively throw that hat off of his head the entire time.

Lmao that ender was a good trick but he sure did ruin the clip by being a cornball 😂

[VHS ERA]

He just said on IG live that he deleted the SOTY video because he leaked something that wasn’t supposed to be leaked, and also that he realized the video sucked so he’s glad he had to delete

[jakeumms]

Jesus...

I would hereby like to ask for an apology of the Slap community at large. I was just trying to point out the absolute fuckery of driving a car like a Pony Express jockey, as well as the risk it entails.

I could have not in any way, shape or form forseen my comment leading to conclusions on GH's *reads notes* submisivness and breedability???!!

Submissive and breedable was a meme that was popping right around the time that GH started streaming. Joa said it more than a couple times in the early streams. Shoutout to the early adopters

he knows someone who works for thrasher and they leaked to him Tyshawn and T-funk were the finalists, he said when person told him that, there was nothing of the sort that he cant say anything and when he let it slip in his SOTY video that person told him he could potentially get fired from thrasher

Let’s say your life was on the line and you were being rushed to the ER, would you be happy to find out the ambulance driver is sitting like that?  That’s all I’m saying.

[close]

holy shit how is this a thing that people are nitpicking lol

why would it matter? you don't use your left foot when driving at all if you're driving an automatic. who cares where it rests? i would prefer my hypothetical ambulance driver to be in a comfortable position so that they can focus on the road and wherever they want to put the foot that they're not even remotely using to drive the ambulance is more than okay with me

"fellas is it gay to rest your left foot up on the dash while you're driving?"

[close]

You never see a race car driver driving like that, do you?  They’re strapped down, buckled in and fully braced.  They aren’t sitting half-curled up like a kitty cat.

Haha word and you'll never see Prius or ambulance drivers toggling brake migration, front/rear dif, radioing to a pit crew to make sure fuel sensors are working, or getting anywhere near 300 km/hr.

Shout out to cats 😻 you're right that seating position for in f1 cars def looks cozy. Resembles a zero gravity gamer set up

[mj23]

i broke my right foot and had to drive with my left one for a while when i was younger, maybe i shouldn't have driven at all. the one time i tried driving with my right foot in the cast i accidentally gunned it while parking and smashed into the car parked behind me. felt pretty bad ngl

[QixHexagon]

His edits are good, I laughed a lot on the X-Files theme for Tyshawn on the subway (Strobeck cameo)

[goodatmeth]

I can see this being a big topic on slap. Kinda whack kinda funny

6:38 "Ok I'm putting Ben Kadow on frog [...]"

Ben K feels like a Frog imposter in the supreme team.

[RoughStylin]

Funny video idea, but not the best execution. He should’ve had his viewers come up with trade ideas. Ben Kadow to Frog? I don’t know if Frog is hugely popular in the States, but I don’t see it in Australia outside of maybe 1 or 2 tshirts. It would be a huge pay cut for BK.

GH said Ben K is too valuable and offered Andrew Allen instead, did we watch the same vid?

also, 7:50 "I think a lot of these are not gonna be good trades, you know[...]" it's just for fun

[rukes]

It amazes me how much of GH's irony and sarcasm people do not understand.

[shouldn't]

what are some trades we could actually get behind? i say sebo walker for nick matthews. nick to krooked, sebo to board sponsorless.

Yeah, sorry I’ll admit to only half listening while at work.

Regardless, I still find it interesting how Frog and Limo are such features in GH’s videos. From my point of view, those brands only seem like a tiny presence in the industry. I’m probably wrong. It’s just funny to hear someone talk about a brand called Frog as a desirable career destination.

[slimvanilla]

the Louie to Limo trade seems like a stretch especially given the GH Limo bias. but also agree that a "big dawg" on Limo is what they need for growth in the industry. not sure who would be a better fit tho?

thought the Foy for Franky was pretty solid and makes sense. Franky on Primitive is so yucky. and Foy on DW isnt necessarily a match made in heaven.

overall a fun concept and something I think GH can come back to in the future.

I don’t know who in skateboarding is David Stern (Phelps?) but a David Stern style intervention to get Strobeck to stop filming Tyshawn/Kader et al

Tbh not sure this analogy works - it’s probably more like Adam Silver intervening to force Robert Sarver or Donald Sterling out for abuse/bringing the sport into disrepute.

I would’ve gone for one of those three team trades - Foy to Primitive, Crazy Franky plus cash to Deathwish and Villany to Frog. Works for all parties




*edit I’ve gone through phases of listening to Bill Simmons podcast network and could go all day on this topic

I could get behind this 3 teamer! Would be sick to see Crazy Franky on Deathwish.

Ahh, a fellow Slap Lurker/Bill Simmons Listener. love to see it

I thought Chandler was on Vans.  He was also in Grosso’s Loveletters’s LGBTQ+ episode.  Pretty fucked up Vans would use him in that way.  Props to GH for backing him and for using his platform to call it out.  Chandler is one of favorite skaters easily!

[jakeumms]

Polar get's Nick Garcia

Element gets Hjalte

This is a bad trade. Hjalte is pretty goated and Nick Garcia is basically just starting to get appreciated. Also Element sucks so bad and has botched the sunset years of so many pros but those people aren't even running the thing anymore so it doesn't matter and so they get fucking nothing

Here me out. This is a blockbuster - Nyjah, David Loy, Sinner and Nyjah’s house for the Emerica mansion + squad/occupants circa 2002
