Beatrice Domond pro for FA very soon

[Lou Strux]

I just don’t understand why whatever caused the delay in release was worth all the hassle for what amounted to a “good time, homies video.”
I enjoyed it well enough, but it felt pretty “meh,” overall.
The marketing of Beat, and the vibe of this entire video feel like they’re both intended to make skating appear fun & more importantly, ACCESSIBLE  to people who don’t already skate.
Even if it doesn’t generate increased sales of the “pro” line, it still serves to make skating more relatable to the masses, writ large, and by that I mean the general shoe buying public.
Why by it a shoe from a “skate” brand even if you don’t skate?
THERE’s your answer: fun lifestyle & lots of high fives & hugs.
It’s all awaiting you in your next pair of Vans.
Nobody know marketing strategy around here?!?

At present, her engagement (however quantifiable that may be) probably tips more in the direction of posters to this thread and the like than it does to whatever it is predicted to be her target audience. From a cold, numerical perspective, it’s possible that Bill Dill care about what gets clicks more than they care about why it gets clicks. I don’t have an MBA or anything so this is, you know, pure conjecture.

Good god, you guys! Just accept that we, us, an archaic internet message board comprised of skate nerds perpetually mulling over the meaning of skate footage as it relates to all other past, present and future skate footage is not Beatrice's target audience. Frankly, I don't know who her audience is, maybe young female skaters, maybe young, black female skaters, maybe young, black, east coast female skaters? In any case, it exists and it's not us. There are skaters hyped on this, even if you can't understand it. Pulling out your trusty street skating measuring stick is useless and embarrassing. It's not some great travesty that there's interest in her skating. Maybe the most interesting thing about it is how much anger it stirs in you. Let her do her thing for the people who are into it, and she can hopefully find herself a black woman making some money in the skate industry. A rare, if not totally unprecedented, occurrence. The other 95% of the industry abides by the traditional standards you so crave. You've pretty much got the whole place to yourself, go nuts! Can't we just leave this woman alone?

Not everyone who has a negative opinion about something in skateboarding is punching the air over it and I'm not sure why that's hard to understand.

[close]

@pizzafliptofakie I love you, always have, but at no point was I generalizing about everyone who holds a negative opinion about something in the skate industry. Let the negative opinions rip, I'm normally here for it. I was commenting on Beatrice, specifically.

Yeah I got that. I just don't like the talking point of people "seething with anger" because they have a dissenting opinion over a corporate posterchild. Some people here are obviously being dicks but I highly doubt most of us posting in here are actually losing any sleep over this. The marketing behind Beatrice is very excessive and pretty hard to ignore, so of course it's gonna get talked about to death.

Damn anyone see that new Van's part she was in she really proved the haters that she knows how to 50, 5-0, manual, and... I forgot what else she did. Ana Farrar (I'm sure I butchered her name) part was sick AF though.

What the fuck was that Losi to front crook? On what planet is that a trick? I think Glick might be feeling himself just a tiny bit too much these days. Reminds me of mullet-Dill.

[close]

His cool guy stock went up since scifi happened so he lives in a world with no rules.  I’m not serious but I think he made the trick work though.

This video has a lot of tricks that have a skating for 2 years skill level, very weird to see

[close]

Glick deserves the glow up.

Nelly should’ve got the promotion/hype and colorway that went to Beatrice.

[close]

Glick was in Foundation/handrail and gap/Don Luong film burn b roll prison for years. Let the man experiment and find himself. If that means he does a losi to fs crook every now and then, it's fine.

[close]

Fellow bloard users: correct me if I am in error, but I believe the combo in question is, in fact, a BAGLADY (FS version of Losi grind) to front crook.
Also, I’ve watched the video in between bouts of frantic work and...
What the fuck?!?
THAT’s it?
I feel like I’ve got the skate video version of blue-balls, whatever that’s called.
Felt more like a tradeshow loop than an actual video production/release.

Sorry to say that wasn’t even a Losi. Rail didn’t touch . That’s like calling a missed back 50 stall a feeble with 2 front wheels on the deck.

[No Wave Comply]

Did Rocco turn Chris Branagh pro for World before Guy for bLind?

[Bill Salt]

she should do her 50/50 shuv fakie that trick would be dope that way.

[TelethonJohn]

Yes

[Septa Bus]

I saw the extended/ uncut version that premiered at the FA store - AMA

is that where all the good tricks went? do tell

[Rihannasdirtylaundry]

Imagine asking your homie to film a fakie bigflip on flatground. Only time that trick is/was cool was when DD would throw it down big shit. Besides that it's a toddler trick.

I had a friend who was a bmxer, but the one trick he could do was a half cab flip.   Don’t know if being fairly short helped him out

[Lowcalcium]

My momma always said if you ain’t got nothing nice to say than shut your goddamn hole.

Dustin Henry really impressed me. The Dick Rizzo footage was dope too. He makes half cabs and Fred Gall still the illest thing around.

I actually appreciate a good boosted half cab flip. Something about the way a fakie bigflip just slops around I hate.

That mofo ain't a racist. He's scared of women not black people. That's why he's not alloweded to talk at Mano when the girls is skatebloarding.
All he can do once a woman hits the skate lite is say good God! And he starts ducking incoming invisible whatever hallucinations he sees flying at his head during dingle berries.


Y'all see that one! She's trying to kill me!

I heard that Fabrina Delfino's last trick. The dingle berry on the big bank was her trying to kill O'Connor through psychic warfare.

It's all antifas and Obamas fault.

[Dustgod]

Ana Farrar (I'm sure I butchered her name) part was sick AF though.

So you took the time to acknowledge that you probably got the name wrong instead of looking up her name to get it right?
