It doesn't matter how gnarly it is, boardslides are not impressive on skinny hubbas / sloped walls that work like wide square rails

I'm rocking black wheels right now but I half regret it, it's pretty bold with red bearings and red trucks but I miss lighter colors.

I’m not judgmental of anybody’s cruiser setups on a personal level but I would assume you were a sex offender if you pulled up skating red trucks and black wheels

With the amount of sex offenders around nowadays even a 100% blind guess has good chances of being right

But hey, if they think the same maybe I can join Antihero

PJ Ladd has been regressing since PJWHL.

I used to like small boards but all I see now is small nose and tail, and ok a little less weight.

I rode 7.75s for a while and I swear I don't feel a lot of difference now riding a 8.25 with a short wheelbase, same feeling and you have a proper nose and tail

I disagree completely but I can understand why someone would think that because it sticks out like a sore thumb and is way less technical than most everyone else.  But he had a bunch of really beautiful tricks and is the only part that I can actually remember from that video.

only unpopular now, was extremely popular at the time

[dannyprovolone]

i would have to agree with it being one of the worst. pops skating was in a steep decline. that guy was nollie heeflipping into every grind in 02 with clean style. something was off about it but ty evans still managed to bang yall over the head

[j....soy.....]

Topic: Pops...hottest take.....GO!

Pops is the best!  Which actually makes him the worst...no...He's the worst...and that makes him the BEST!!!

It was my opinion at the time. And still todays. That part has nothing to do with modern skating. Its only a decline skating from a guy that used to be good.

Badly written cause english isn't my first language but the idea is there and I stand by it.

Guy says he'd think I'm a sex offender because of X and instead of bitching like you I decided to just joke around using the common occurrence of people being sex pests in and outside of skateboarding, that's all, chill.

I can't stand watching people do slappies or montages of them.

If that implies the footage is from old people, I'll be old one day too but for now if I'm watching porn I'm not searching for grannies

No offense to anyone who's into that, slappies I mean, but grannies too

[gsosa]

On the topic of Fully Flared, I love Pops' part and it really stokes me out to skate. But I feel Nick Jensen and Danny Brady's is a doper representation of the less tech more spot oriented approach side of skating.

So when you’re old, and doing slappies, and are about the same age as these alleged “grannies”, is it just porn of your contemporaries, so you can just call it “porn”?

I’m old and I’d rather watch a Primitive video than a Tired video…but what I don’t do is shit on the Tired video…..

I guess this isn’t the right thread for this….

Nah, this qualifies. The Tired video is the definition of "Relatable Skateboarding," but it is more fun to watch the Primitive video.

[modern life is war]

Half the guys in the tired videos look like they just started skating two years ago and i'm not down to watch some guy do a 6 inch noseslide on a curb and then tick tack out of it. If you're filming and land something sketchy then you can have some self respect and keep trying it for 10 or 20 more minutes until you land it smoothly.

There are plenty of guys in their 40s who actually rip but they don't get posted on thrasher, probably because they understand skateboarding doesn't owe you shit.

I think you're kinda missing the point of the Tired videos.
They're just lighthearted fun. Skateboarding is allowed to just be fun sometimes.

[Banned from the room]

What do some of u setup purists think of this guy?

Outstanding skills. I really dig him.
Unfortunately none of that Chinese NAZI crap is legit.
