If I'm being honest I think he's got the potential to be really good, but he needs the right people to steer him... Kinda like Mason getting in with the dlx crew. Take that crazy bag of tricks and athleticism out of the TF and put it to use on some crusty and interesting spots..

I feel like chasing a stair count record is maybe the jockiest thing a skater can do. I'm obviously going to watch it, but it appeals to the same part of me as UFC does. I just can't respect it the same way, maybe because I can't really relate to it in any way.

I'm 100% sure this dude was genetically engineered in French lab funded by Plan B. Probably with DNA from Sheckler and Joslin.

Aurelien Giraud on Etnies?! A perfect opportunity for me to virtue signal by letting everyone on Slap know I care not for him! "Who cares! Fuck that guy!" Haha! Hell yeah, got him! That felt great. I feel great. Welp, back to digging this ditch! My Carhartt double knees doing double duty today!

while i get what you are saying, i dont agree with you. im tired of seeing grinds on ditches and wallies, no complies and rough edgy spots. if there werent any guys like him out there still pushing tricks down famous spots skateboarding would become as boring as it was when that was all we cared about. i like him for the plain reason of him being a stunt man. do i need to love his fits and sponsors? hell no.
i just know i like the whole baker squad because of wilshire 15 and how they collectivly destroyed that stair while others also skated it.
last cool impact spot was probably that tripple set in downtown LA. loved to see pros making their signature tricks down that thing and see how far they could push it with good looking tricks.

would be cool if we had another 14-16 stair set and to see how far pros can go with tricks.
i dont skate impact shit at all so its nothing but entertainment.
i dont get why skaters always get so mad about that.

Etnies is cooler than Nike so he is already going in the right direction.

This is pretty much the foreign Chris Joslin trick wise. Funny how they're both on Plan B and Etnies.

They probably make target runs together too

They’re getting geared up for T. Hawks new street only boom boom huck jam. Coordinated ghetto birds down four blocks come 2023.

To be fair, that'd be pretty impressive.

While not really a fan of Etnies or Giraud I do like that there's a company that pays these top level skilled people and also a legacy company is still somewhat relevant. I wouldn't be bummed to see a bunch of the skatepark kids wearing Etnies rather than jumping thru all the hoops to get dunks.

glad to see etnies is investing in a team revamp. Looks like they were able to get some fresh blood in without giving anyone the boot (as far as I can tell atleast). I'm curious to see if adding dudes like He and && actually manage to push the needle in their favor.

They really went in a weird direction lately. I feel like they undervalue Nassim, dude is incredible. Who's buying Etnies besides vegans? No one I know is stoked on them like with the other two Sole Tech companies.  :-\

He just needs to do some proper parts with proper marketing instead of posting his best tricks on instagram. I remember when he finally released a street part and no one was impressed, his social media stuff was way better. If he starts doing shit like that fs flip with a good song and editor then it'll be cool.

that’s…. not what virtue signaling means

the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.
"it's noticeable how often virtue signaling consists of saying you hate things"

Close enough for slap.

You might be thinking of Gustavo Ribeiro.

Who, by the way, I'm still proudly able to tell apart from Ivan Monteiro. It's a skill.

Have a soft spot for France and for French skateboarders in general.  Paris, Lion, Marseile and Montpellier- great skate cities…. They hate each other and all of them hate Paris. You have different kind of styles - but you have everywhere that sporty ghetto kid style guy who skates sick with a show off attitude- best example in the past was Bastien.

Aurelien is the perfect example of this skatepark local champ- you meet all over France. Maybe little pretentious - but if know him better a good guy, with humor and sharing his beer and dope with you.

I am sure Aurelien is a good guy.
Will not defend his clothing/ styling choices.

it's neat that this logic only applies when people are criticizing brands and skateboarders you like and not the other way around

I’ve gotten plenty of shit about my opinions around here
