The thing that bothers me about Beatrice is that there are women skaters who are way better than her and a lot of them haven't even gotten a sniff at being pro.

Then you go back like 20 years, and you see what women like Elissa Steamer were doing at that time. Skateboarding has progressed so much, and yet Beatrice is a pro now doing shit that wasn't impressive even 20 years ago. Elissa Steamer is now 47 years old and still a better skater than Beatrice. It just doesn't make sense.

I think I'm over the hump of expressing my problems with her status in the industry. If she is willing to looking herself in the mirror and accept the checks they are willing to give her, then that's that. There's no point in outwardly expressing criticism if she isn't receptive. It's just a net loss after that. You are wasting energy and stressing yourself typing mean shit out and the stuff she's getting online is mentally damaging.

Just came by to say, B Eat rice sucks as a person and sucks even worse at skateboarding. You suck. Can you see that on your brand new iPhone 53?

If she'd just shut up and stop caring what people say/arguing online, this would have blown over a while back and people would have gone back to not giving a shit about her or what she's doing. I don't think anyone blames her for taking money, and I'm sure most people in her situation would have as well.

However, she keeps posting shit defending herself and acting smug. She either truly believes she is this great skater who has earned her right to be a pro (which is delusional) or she knows she's not good enough and can't handle criticism.

The real issue here is FA making her pro, not the fact that she accepted it. Her getting defensive was just dumb and made the entire situation worse for her.

Can someone get me up to speed??

35 pages is a lot to go through

Thanks v much

Basically, she lacks skills, and is pro for some reason? And has all these sponsorships and deals while there is so many other woman or woman of color for that matter that are actually skilled at skating. There are people on here who are hyped for her because she's black. That's just the synapsis of the thread from all that I've read. If I'm missing anything, feel free to add?
[close]

At the end of the day, aren’t the questions here the same ones being asked about Gino in the Asics threads?   Why is this underperforming person given all the opportunities and marketing dollars?   

The answer for some in the Gino thread: legacy of style makes him forever relevant.   Seemingly the answer to the Beatrice ?: it’s important to highlight and represent a black female skater.

you really learned that one sentence and think its accurate whenever you use it right?
this discussion is leading to something and might who knows regulate something.
so instead of just posting your catchphrase like a pokemon just try to add anything of worth

If people like it, it’ll stay.

If they don’t, it won’t last.

No one buys things they don’t like.

On a side note…

I’ve noticed that this place seems to love being hyper critical of black skaters and always tries to make them the butt of a joke.

For as progressive as people here like to signal themselves as being, none of this seems to be said in jest.

Your avatar is Biebel...you should know how slap works.

Ishod is considered by most  here as the this generation goat...Antwuan receive all the love for being what he is.
Keenan, TX, Stevie etc.

This case is not about race, but skills. She sucks and has a bad style with a big ego.
[close]

I love your name. One of my favorite Tour de France riders.

There seems to be a trend in how people talked about the skaters, and Beatrice is another casualty.

Ishod is a goat, and will be Koston status soon.

Most on here weren’t around for Keenan.

Twuan, yeah I agree.
[close]

Tadej is the best charisma in tour.

But, lets talk about Biebel, he got canceled here before the homeless guy incident...his ultra white teeth, al that meat head shit, roids, India etc...as a talented white guy slap fired him and I agree.


Zach Allen got the same hate because his low skills on a board, but dude got better and turned pro. Now most of slapers loves him...I hope Beatrice do the same...get better and improve her style, because she is a pro and sells product with her name on it. The hate tends to get bigger.

came here just to say Zach Allen is still bad

I think we agree but I just don't have the energy to say it anymore. She's like almost 30 also so it's not like she will take criticism to improve her output at this point. I think her personality is a result of her industry patting themselves on the back thinking not telling her hard truths is real "support." I mean Vans knew what they were doing posting another 5050 front shove.

I watched her what youth and she seems very immature. I don’t know if she has the tools to deal with the level of criticism she is receiving. I feel like she must have come from a very religious background or her parents were really strict. She’s kinda sweet in a way. I hope she accepts what people have to say without letting it get to her. If I were her I would quietly move on. Maybe there is a place for her in the industry w/o being a faux pro.

It would have to come from someone on a team with her or who works in one of the brands. These negative comments, valid or not, will not do anything to change her approach. She's been rewarded by the industry for her approach so no real reason to switch it up.

You got me curious so I looked it up and watched it and noticed a random Jon Bernthal (wearing HUF weed socks) sighting @ 2:36. 



She does come across as sweet in humble in the video, which is a stark contrast to her social media persona that she has adapted recently. But that could probably be chalked up to the constant barrage of hate that she receives, regardless if it's warranted or not.

Basically, she lacks skills, and is pro for some reason? And has all these sponsorships and deals while there is so many other woman or woman of color for that matter that are actually skilled at skating. There are people on here who are hyped for her because she's black. That's just the synapsis of the thread from all that I've read. If I'm missing anything, feel free to add?

Re: Beatrice Domond pro for FA very soon

Why are there people in this thread asking us to treat a black person differently to a white person? The people that are cooking her would do the same if she was white, Asian or even from outer space. If you want to call me racist then go ahead but keep in mind that I'm not white.

Secondly it's not her fault that she's pro. She got given the option to get paid to skate and took it. We need to look at Dill and Vans and think what were their motivations to make her pro

She could've said no, not until I put out a part that's decent... Like anyone who gets it would do. Instead she posted about how it was a long time coming with nothing to back it up. She kind of did this to herself in terms of the amount of friction she gets.

This is no worse than turning Sean Pablo pro. FA has had/has amazing skaters, but they've always been a very unbalanced team from the best skaters on their team to their worst. They have skaters who would be top pros on any brand (guys like Louie, Tyshawn, Ave, Dylan) and then guys who would lucky to be flow for most big brands (Beatrice, Sean Pablo, Aidan). It's just those people got the Supreme hype behind them.

I think the main reason ppl hate dill is because aside from being a kook, he was one of the first to realize that skill and ability were secondary to hype. He sort of ruined what makes a pro skater pro in order to make more money. If it was about representation there are way better skaters out there to choose from. Would it be that hard to like, do what every other team ever has done and invite potential team members to come skate and hang w the crew and see if it was a good fit?

Style has always mattered and thankfully not everyone subscribes to the jock mindset on display in this thread. Dill is a kook, but not because he's given spots on the FA team to Aiden Mackey or Beatrice.

If style matters then what's your actual point, also please highlight all the jock stuff you're referencing Beatrice.

She tracked down fat bill and started sending him her footage when she started skating after college and he was stoked on it and got dill to put her on.   I don’t think being demure about “deserving it” was ever in her MO

That's everyone's problem with her summed up. I literally can't imagine having an ego big enough to send footy to anyone at that skill level. It's literally shocking that that's all it took.
