imagine being pissed because someone isn’t doing something conventional enough for you

You could easily argue that every unheard of kid that popped up in "Cherry" never deserved to be pro and you might be right. But I do like Aidan's skating

I wasn't really a fan of him at first but he does some really cool creative unorthodox tricks with good style that aren't hammers but is just fun to watch.
At least my dad thinks so.

I recently rewatched some 917 era Aiden clips, and then compared them to some angsty current Aiden clips. He used to be such a nice boy, until he got in with a rough crowd.

The environment Supreme creates through its obsession with 'style & culture' is one of if not THE most unstylish and cultureless environment on the face of this planet.

but they got street cred and ugly/hot models that skateboard so a) you can't hate on them and b) you WILL buy their shit at 600% markup

He is pro because he has ginger hair and looks and acts like an extra from Gummo which fits their aesthetic.

Stza overdid the cough syrup and hard liquor when I was supposed to play with him. Got picked up by an ambulance before showtime.
Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

I liked the part. good music. Def some whack tricks in there though. I appreciate the fact that skating allows a wide range of people with varying degrees of talent to be pro. Puts it more in the realm of an art than a sport. Some people are pro because they are undeniably good and some people are pro because people like watching them and they are surrounded by the right people i guess. Of course there's a bar of talent you need to be over to be taken seriously, but at the end of the day you're still doing tricks on a piece of wood, so whatever.

C’mon, that wasn’t all THAT bad, was it?
Maybe I don’t give enough fucks, but I’d still rather watch the funny looking ginger than a sports.
But hey, tha’s jus’ me.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

I’ve always kinda liked him.  Don’t know why though.
When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

I think it's less about conventional more that it's very repetitive and often not hugely difficult.

Yeah, Daewon has had periods of doing very unconventional tricks but they were generally extremely difficult too.

As for the threads question. He's pro because he got the right connections with Supreme and that whole scene and his skating is passable enough they can justify him being pro. I'll give him credit though, unlike some of the FA/Supreme kids he actually tries and puts out footage consistently.

ngl these FA skate vids make TJ look like a benchwarmer and aidan mackey look like a god. TJs insane on the board. aidan mackeys just good. FA get your priorities straight

Stza overdid the cough syrup and hard liquor when I was supposed to play with him. Got picked up by an ambulance before showtime.

after the show in birmingham alabama we were watching the warriors on the dressing room tv. there’s a part where they’re trapped in gramercy park and the one guy goes “we must be 50 miles from coney island!”

naturally, being an nyc dude stza starts remarking about how it’s nowhere near that far etc and i go “stz, they’re gang members, not cartographers” and it was the only time i saw him laugh the whole tour

Remember when Ave sent Rowan an FA box and he sent a letter back with a cutup FA sticker that said “sorry”. Bc he wasn’t leaving baker.

I wonder what kind of sticker he made for Reynolds when he let him know he’s now dipping for the inevitable.

Kader will quit via IG.

He provides free marketing to the brand which leads to massive amounts of rich kids attempting to emulate his skating and their parents spending money on the boards and clothing. I wonder sometimes how hard the skateboard industry is laughing at everybody throwing money their way.
