I lack mental fortitude and couldn't make it past 40 seconds.

Damn, I really thought he was onto something there.

I sat through the whole damn thing just to bring you this breaking news. I suffered for this.

If you aren’t using the nose to it’s full kung-fu kick potential, then yeah, symmetrical boards make way more sense.

Never have to flip it back around to do a trick that only works on one of the kicks, wear both ends down evenly, etc.

I’m mildly interested (I’m riding his old model right now with the hard edges sanded off, and it looks almost the same), but the new one a bit too skinny for me. I don’t want to have to get a skinnier pair of trucks for it.

What’s more interesting, as someone noted in another thread, I’d that the crane on the nose and tail resemble an ‘&’, which might be the first time a SLAP inside joke made it onto a skate deck. A Powell deck at that.

This is brand new information

I can feel the wallets of all out of touch mid life skateboarders opening up.

I can hear the velcro ripping open from here.

Powell definitely know their demographic these days.

I use my front truck looser than the back one, so buying a symmetrical its stupid for me cause I'll use the board the same way I've been doing it for 20+ years

I feel like any of the kids back in my playground days who could backflip or juggle or bunny hop a Mongoose mountain bike would have shredded

Can't believe Andy invented the skateboard, symmetry and eggs. Thank you so much Mr. skateboard man

[KinkyRailsRailed4u]

Thanks for posting OP.

So I saw && at my local doing Butter Flips and Rail Stands the other day. Seeing this filled me with absolute rage. I pushed at him at full speed, mostly letting my anger take complete control of my body. I powerslide into &&, causing him to fall backward and hit his head, knocking him out.

I stuffed && in my Honda Odyssey and brought him back to my house. He smelled like Dude Wipes and homeopathically treated prostate cancer. I tied him to a chair in my basement and made him watch the new Primitive video. && screamed in agony, because I knew his mind couldn't process actually good skating. He broke the rope that was constraining him and started Walking The Dog. This very action caused my basement window to explode, which he used as a distraction to escape.

There is no cure for this freestyle epidemic.

[Síota]

Did he actually say like what his tail is like after a month of skating? 30:30 ish mark..turned it off then.

We all have a lot to learn.

[pizzafliptofakie]

Did he have to read from his stupid little notebook to remember the specs of his board?

[DaleSr]

I'm down to bring back bullying if it means less &&

Bring back gatekeeping this kook needs to be shunned.  Fuck your slow coping dance and tic tacks. Dude should never be allowed outside skateparks.

yea for sure

makes me see red how many people are hyped about his garbage

the audacity to disrespect a legendary spot like that should be illegal

He had to read from his notebook to remember what tricks he could do during that mini ramp S.K.A.T.E. thing a few months back.

The more I see of this dude, the more obnoxious he gets. He's so smug. He's probably filthy rich at this point too I would guess.

Yo, FUCK POWELL

[Goodcurbs]

This popsicle shape with this nose that's bigger than the tail that everyone's been riding for 30 years  ignorant. Who ever came up with that? These idiots like Paul Schmitt. We should have been riding twin tails for the past 30 years. What the fuck is wrong with everyone thinking you need this weird oval shape that gets smaller in the back. The shape sucks and it's mass psychosis the twin tail isn't the main board shape in every shop.

[Yonnycage]

Oh my god fucking stooooop. Just STOP IT. I want to rip his scumstache off he sucks so fucking bad

[L dog]

what's up with the whole powell team being youtube vloggers?
