Beatrice Domond pro for FA very soon

[Andrefosho]

Not gonna lie, I was waiting for the shove out.  Appreciate her keeping us on our toes.

Same. Big disappointment after no shove out from the 50

I thought a front shove off the curb would’ve been a nice touch.  A sort of deconstructed front 5050 front shove if you will.

Who was it who had a line like that? It was like tre flip then varial flip then pop shuv. It was genius.

May not be the one you're thinking of but Corey Glick does that line at 0:38

[veritas]

The bar for women’s skateboarding has risen exponentially in the last decade yet this shit is what is acceptable for “pro” in 2022.

her skating might have been decent by 2014 standards but she sucks compared to everyone else now. this sets a bad precedent

Jamie Reyes circa 2000 with some heat at Newport and the banks

[dannyprovolone]

Yeah this would have been bad 25 years ago too

[kook1234]

Such a sick little line.  I cant believe Tyshawn didnt want any of his NBDs to come before or after this in a video

At this point, FA having turned her pro just seems cruel. The way she tries to sell it with the throw down, stare down, fake arm steez, and glory push makes it even sadder. Why put her in this position and subject her to this level of scrutiny? It's like giving someone a drivers license and a brand new car after they've failed the exam multiple times.

All the support and likes from big name pros really comes across as forced and out of pity when you view her clips objectively. Toxic positivity.

It's also hilarious that she takes the time to reply to negative Instagram comments.

FA turned a bunch of people pro over the years that probably weren't worthy of the status based on ability/output and I don't see this as different.

You're right, it's no different. This is just the most egregious example.

I can't believe this thread has gotten to 26 pages.

[brucewillis]

Just let her be man...

[Fartknocker415]

While it is kinda strange to me, it iswhatit is. I guess she good for marketing. I just wish she didn't seem like such a try-hard. And then it feels like people try hard to back her.  It all feels so weird and contrived.

[SHARPSHOOTER]

Watching it again she should have at least done that to manual would have at least been somewhat good

[Lenny the Fatface]

What’s funny is if she was better there wouldn’t be an almost 30 page thread about her with commentary on every move she makes on social media.

[goodatmeth]

Imagine being gaslit into thinking you're good at skating while you're on beginner level.

Like I'm getting a call from Reynolds tomorrow and he's telling me how he heard about that kickflip over the bump at the skatepark I've landed last week. He says it was absolutely bonkers and the whole industry is screaming for my name on a deck. I'm thinking it's just a weird dream and I'm going with it. Kinda blew up, everybody around me suddenly goes crazy every time I land a bs crook on a little ledge. I'm starting to think I'm actually special. I always knew I had it in me...
If only these assholes on the internet would see my true value

she's getting paid so it's business and people are getting an inferior product and it's our rights as consumers to speak up. Hell, if Daniel Castillo and other under-skilled pros had to take their lumps on these boards then who hell is she to get a pass. I have yet to see her inward heel manny.

[Rockin Robbin]

You guys aren't seeing the silver lining: we could all go pro for FA right now.

But... The customer is always right. Vote with the dollar. Boycott what you don't like. Write badchecks in good faith. A paradox maybe, but you can sleep good at night knowing that the thing you love so dearly, the thing you worked so hard for but never achieved, your childhood dream, is being fully ripped apart by those with a nice face and a few emojis. While they exercise little to no honor in what they promote themselves to be, at least you destroyed your knees so they could not walk, but barely fucking crawl in the grand scheme of things. A drop in the bucket in the ocean of, "contributing."

thinking about doing that tomorrow. calling dill and telling him our last names sound the exact same

[sle_epy]

Y'all acting like you've never seen the first and second generation of male pro skaters. Acting like female pros have been a thing since way back... You also woulda talked shit about Reyes back in the day etc. Give us some time we will reach your level. We have to EXIST as pros to push that level first, just like your ancestors did. Damn give us a decade of female pro skating ffs then evaluate. Please go watch a video from 1991. That's where female skating is at in terms of progression (I say that because it's a mixed bag. Some ladies are hitting rails others are focusing on tech but none of us have peaked yet by any means). The more we see ourselves pushing the radder it'll get, way faster than it did for men. Can't deny the explosion of female skaters the last 5 years.

No fucking way females are at the level of video days from 1991. Sorry. And there’s been female pros for decades. There’s no doubt females can and should be pro now based on skill, but I think the conversation here is somewhat just. Beatrice is a fine skater. But pro level? No.

Alexis was able to hang 2 decades ago.

Pretty sure no one was talking shit on her PJLWHL part, just sayin’
