I'm not sure how this is all gonna shake out, but today I had the option of buying a Tiago Lemos deck and a Miles Silva deck and I went with the latter.

Anyone know any remote communities out east that have good park/scene? Have some cool ones out here in BC, but I'm making a bucket list for the next time I go cross country

Tiago is an abuser indeed, he severely abuses those street spots all over the World like a Man!

Fuck people spreading these stupid toxic rumors and the ones paying attention to it.

I mean I'm not going to get all Judge Judy on him quite yet, but people were straight up using Jason Jesse's frontside Ollies as some sort of magical card to somehow justify all the terrible shit he did; good skating does not atomically exempt someone from being a terrible person! (*waves @ KA*)

There is a very good skatepark in Huntsville, Ontario. its ~200km north of Toronto. It is a very nice place to visit in the summer time for sure but there are a lot of bugs and it gets extremely hot. there is a decent amount of shade because its in a forest though. It was really nice going there early in the morning.

I'm legitimately confused by your (apparent) logic, not trying to put words in your mouth either but so does that mean people should just mindlessly consume all the marketing and completely disregard the reality of who their money feeds as far as ethics are concerned? Would you rather know as exactly as possible who and what you are directly supporting, or always be lied to and have your intelligence and finances insulted in an era where the difference between someone's public image and their reality is especially transparent (contrary to back when companies via the mags still had way more of a monopoly on politics and cultivated pensée unique by manipulating history)? Is it not a problem to have criminals marketed as role models to every twelve-year-old out there who takes up skating every day as long as they can do some tricks down stairs?

What the industry really hates about this place is how it's a reflection of their own inability to get with the times. More public interrogation in general makes sense in an era where there is more information surfacing, but responsible consumption was always a thing and a positive trait in people. The industry needs the approval of the average skateboarder to keep thriving, not the other way around and personally I'm a bit tired to see said average skateboarder being by default considered an absolute fool, most of the time by people who also claim to skate and so should know and respect the culture a bit better than how they do sometimes if they're really trying to drive it. It's 2022, most events now basically happen in plain sight for the whole world to see, and even past that point everyone in the world communicates, and so in general it's maybe a bit late (not to mention straight up destructive marketing-wise) and delusional to still try and sweep dirt under the rug - at this point that's just akin to crapping your pants in public on purpose.

Bruh you're asking people to thoughtlessly and completely buy in to...*checks notes*...a rumor you heard.
Sorry if I'm not out screaming from the rooftops to cancel Dime because a random, anonymous dude on the internet heard a rumor this one time.

Theses issues with the Dime dudes and racism is not a new story , people don't want to talk about it but it has been going on  in the MTL skate scene for a while. The way Dime treated Wade Fyfe and Gailea Momolu , both great skaters and just nice people made me never fuck with that crew. I don't want to tell another persons story , but there is a reason lots of Vancouver skaters don't fuck with that DIME on the west coast or as Tucker Carlson would say Left Coast lol.

Gailea Momolu is not a member of the 'nice people' group. He's more than capable of being a complete dickhead to skaters for no reason whatsoever. If Momolu was treated poorly, there's a good chance he brought it on himself.

[mattchew]

Don’t care if he’s a dick, Gailea Momolu dropped a part 20 years ago that still holds up today, lifetime pass on that mofo.

You must be a Dime sycophant trying to diminish Gailea as a person , I know the dude and he has a heart of gold and a genuine humility to him. Pretty pathetic attempt by a Dime nut hugger to change the subject from the elephant in the room …. Dimes racism against Black skaters that gets pushed under the table. I am not buying it whatsoever, next you are going to tell me Wade Fyfe is also  a jerk who deserved to be mistreated.

Nah I just think he's a dickhead for the way he treated kids that came up to him at demos in Vancouver and California. Shuts down offers for autographs and leaves kids hanging who try to offer a high five or a fist bump. It's a slap in the face to the people that allowed him to be where he is in the first place. You've just been too busy gargling Gailea balls in your mouth to notice. Don't forget to use mouthwash after you're done, sweetie.

Bruh do y'all really not know how to articulate a nuanced argument... or are y'all actually just that toxic/bored and need to stir the pot?

Not every touchy topic needs to be so dichotomous... so maybe don't paint the entire group as racist?

Dime was defs supporting Jamal Smith heavy before his Palace board.

(The following is another example for whatever nerd pretends that didn't suffice): How about featuring Skifalls in their recent ads? Yeah featuring local black artists in their ads and exposing them to wider audience totally screams 100% racist corporation.
