Pre-trick pants hike

[Steve Kelly]

I notice Spenny does this a ton, and although I think he’s amazing it’s kind of annoying tbh. I get that maybe it helps with the setup, but I’m pretty sure it’s just become a habit at this point. Others are doing it also I’ve noticed.

Is this a new trend or has it always been around? What’s the history?

I’ll admit this is a frivolous, shit thread, but just wondering if other people notice this and what their opinions are.

some people dont want to get their pants dragged
so you have two choices
wear those stupid high waters, or lift your skirt 

or you could just wear pants that are the proper length

is pullin up pants new he says

as long as your pants aren't below your ass or choking your nuts idc

also just wear whatever who cares

Haha kinda reminds me of the crotch grab/readjust people used to do.....

[Your Cousin Marvin]

i adjust my pants because i have a flat ass so i have to hike them up before a trick or my asshole shows if i fall

[skunty]

its just to get your pants ready for the acrobatic manuever youre about to attempt - not just a skating thing. baseball players do it constantly. pants hike itself is benign, it will take on the characteristic of the person doing it. A dork hiking their pants up is dorky, a bad ass doing it is bad ass

This applies to almost every "rule" people have about skating.

[pro club blanks]

In Bloom era P was pretty prolific at adjusting his Rod pre trick

Which was the style at the time

[EXTRA SPICY]

I’ve brought this up on here before and even asked it to The Bunt boys. Some people claim knee stick, ankle drag, etc. whatever. I personally observe it as either a nervous tick (a-La the Reynolds 3 rule), or fake steeze habit. I’m not a fan either way, and it detracts from the skating. That’s just me tho.

Guilty parties, Spenny and PRod included, will do it in shorts and joggers. Find your evidence as need be.

[h00man]

it helps prior to popping

[vitunvesa]

I know so many people who used to do this because of prod

[Craig Lutzka]

Worst offender of this violation is that scumbag Jagger Eaton.

When the crotch of your pants hangs too low it can restrict the movement of your legs, which is how skateboard tricks are mostly done; with your legs.
Been happening since at least the goofy boy days when we were rocking some ridiculously baggy pants.

I dno , TJ rogers gigantic baggy pants have him doin this before literally everytrick

Peter Smolik. Case Closed.

[funeral_tuxedo]

feels good

[Yonnycage]

I’m thinking about inventing some shit that goes around the waistband that holds your pants up so we don’t have to do this shit anymore, it gets annoying after a while

All this negative talk, blasphemy.

Man literally opens his part with a pants hike.

[dilbert1]

Every time I’m about to do a trick I look like I’m putting out an invisible cigarette on the tail of my board for like three seconds pre-pop. Imagining how freakish it would look if I didn’t wear a belt and so performed both of these tics simultaneously.

[Mantracker]

I fucking do this and I know it’s because of Paul, Wade and Spenny - mostly Wade

It just works man idk it sets up the pants with a little crease on the thigh so when you pop it opens and you feel so loose and free

I wear a belt and used to crop my pants and I still did it so idk I’m just fucked

[dustyassrocketswitchv]

P-Rod invented this, obviously

[Freelancevagrant]

Nic boserio does it and that makes it okay. I’ve done it but it’s bc of knee stick.

If you have to keep adjusting your clothes while actually skating then you're wearing the wrong clothes. Pants tug is equal to fixing your hair. Do it before you get on or not at all

[LostBearings]

Doesn't happen on the regular but it has happened. Sometimes your pant leg rests on your shoe weird

[Frank Ward]

mike york in mouse pioneered the pre-trick pants-hike

[tom]

Sometimes it’s not the pants that need adjusting. I just gotta wiggle my underwear back into place

[spicysk8rboi]

I sweat a lot and my pants/jeans get soaked causing them to stick to my knees. It’s not an issue in shorts or sweat pants(rarely skate sweats). It definitely restricts movement and I hate it because it looks so weird sometimes.

Real man talk

[Makaveli]

It’s so the pants don’t make contact with the grip when you pop. Otherwise, you sand down, fray, and rip through the bottom of the pants.
