You're right. I just wanted to make a simple unpopular opinion without becoming the target for abuse. I call a truce.

Truce it is, hope you land your next trick battle.

I would rather keep my record of celibacy than waste it on a one night stand with someone I don't love. My energy is that potent. I know it might sound strange but I'm proud of the fact that I'm exclusive with my energy and that no one has access to me. The quality of people these days is so poor that I know putting any effort whatsoever is a waste of time. Take care now.

Please stop Lowriding or "sagging" your pants. I have no interest in seeing your underwear. Buy a belt, cinch it up and live a good life.

i guess its no longer a popular opinion anymore, so: its absolutely wack to re-use songs that another company has used already

i feel like the kid crew edits on youtube are using the same songs over and over again

dont get me started on the euro skate videos - i always recognize at least 1 song from another euro part

people who hate on wax saying "just go faster" and "just wax your board" are most of the time not good at skating or if they are good, usually only skate the very end of the ledge & dont grind/slide for very long

im fucking sick and tired of these meat heads

im not gonna wax the ledge if you say youre not cool with it. you fucking adding your stupid bullshit to saying no isnt gone change anything other than me thinking youre a dumbass

I completely agree with you. People who are adept at skating ledges like them to be nice and buttered up. Going fast or only waxing your board isn't going to work if the ledge is dry and crusty. I will say though, I am against people waxing the top of a ledge (for doing lip or boardslide tricks) unless the ledge is wide enough to give people ample room to do manual tricks without getting bodied. While I don't do manuals very often, I try to be considerate of those who do.

sure but it can go both ways. I've been on sessions where everyone is skating an obstacle just fine and there's one person who can't even get into the trick they're trying and they wanna wax it a bunch. I feel like some of the most talented ledge skaters I know are fairly conservative about how much wax they use. If it's a spot or obstacle being shared you kinda have to read the room, ya know?

I’m of the opinion, if it’s my spot I’ll wax it(not the top for lips/boards) if it needs it. If it’s not a spot that’s mine, no way am I going to wax it. If someone came to something I found and prepped and started fucking with it, that shit ain’t gonna fly.

It's both ways tho. Sliding long means nothing if you just put a whole block of wax on the ledge and can just pose on it. It's like tailscraping a manual. It used to be to grind more than 4 feet your entire body would have to be way behind the board.
Oldies learnt it the hard way and have to insist kids do it too. I had to fall off my bike all the time why do these kids get training wheels boo hoo that's not fair etc

(For the record I 99.9% don't give a shit about wax)

I feel like heavily waxed ledges should come with a little caution sign on the side.

Neither the TK or Bam thread should have been nuked. Both were amazing resources for seeing the biographies of two troubled but important figures within skateboarding.

I wish nothing but the best to skate shop owners and I love people being able to support themselves by working in skating. But am I really ethically obligated to spend money at skate shops when I could save like 30-40% buying shit on sale online. I enjoy buying stuff in shops especially stuff that doesn’t really come on crazy sales (f4s or something) but isn’t “supporting your local” just an indirect for of charity to skaters who don’t want to do anything else in the world. I always thought they were supposed to throw contests and stuff or something but money is too tight to give back like that nowadays, what are you gonna do like employ five skaters who don’t want to work shitty jobs, a lot of dudes make their money from shitty jobs why are we subsidizing you? Not even saying people are greedy or lazy and I appreciate them being around when I don’t want to order online but like is it worth spending hundreds of dollars extra every year just to not feel bad? You’re giving a shop board a month to some guys in your city who are good at skating? Who give a shit? You can get bbs blanks on sale from tactics we’ll start a gofundme it just seems like a weird circuitous form of charity to me

Why would too much wax make something harder? If people don’t want to slip out they should do their trick correctly. Not my fault you can’t.
