2023 unpopular opinion thread

[SatanicPanic]

I could never force myself to watch Koston parts because his style is so bad i understand he's a legend and all ability wise but i could just never care

Edit: i forced myself to watch a jagger eaton part to compare their styles but i ended up enjoying a lot of the tricks because i watched it on mute and ignored the garbage broll, the ender for his berrics part is absolutely nuts i hate that i enjoyed as many of the tricks as i did

Did he have really good style relative to others early on in his career? Carroll still looked great relative to his peers for an insane amount of time i tried to watch kostons yeah right part and it looked like shit i had to turn it off like two minutes in, just a human bussup machine he's a hammer machine but who likes watching his shit, honestly arguably like one tier above jagger eaton in style

Edit 2: jesus the way he sets up his nollie tricks makes me feel a way i never want to feel again, feet like two inches apart which should be cool and very fresh but he makes every nollie trick look like a looney tunes character jumping on a chair to get away from a mouse

He had acceptable style. I can’t remember anyone saying it was great or complaining about it. I love his part in H Street Next Generation and his Mouse part was pretty good.

I agree Koston's style is acceptable, especially when factored into his era and what he was doing relative to his peers. Girl/Chocolate though was always loaded with skaters with great style such as Carroll, Gino, Guy, Scott Johnston, MJ, Kenny Anderson, BA, Rick Howard, Keenan, etc. So Koston's was always a bit rough around the edges compared to those guys, but he was also pushing skating on a technical level on ledges, rails, and big gaps that no one else really was and did so for like 15 years. While I'm rarely a tech over style guy, I think Koston finds a good medium. Not everyone can be Lucas Puig or MJ where they make even insanely technical tricks look amazing (which is a rare feat in general). Koston's stuff was generally popped and caught clean, which is more than you can say about a decent amount of guys who came out of the small wheels era doing insanely tech tricks.

Asphalt yacht club was cool at first. Had a great team, and an original approach. It just became a mediocre mall brand too fast.

More of a question than an opinion but do you think Cariuma will be normalised in skateboarding like Nike etc? I remember the net resistance to Nike back whenever it was and look at them now. Still feels weird to me seeing them (and other running shoe brands) and would never buy them but each to their own. Seeing more and more Cariumas in the wild (and on good skaters) so it appears the same thing might be happening.

No. Because Nike is/was already cool outside of skateboarding, while cariuma is not even a thing people would consider wearing

Tbf I watched that part once again, and he has his feet close together on a nollie trick that's noticable once. Heading into a handrail. I wonder if it was a conscious choice. He has some sketch clips but I dunno, I still really enjoy watching him skate.

I was living at my mom’s house post college when Katie Couric had her colonoscopy on tv.

My mom was watching and I walked in a said, “Hey look! It’s Katie Couric’s culo!”

Mom screamed “Get out of my house!” and that was the end of rent free living.

I feel like this is consensus opinion among anyone who has skated one over the past ~5 years.

Ah ok, i feel like everyone just wants to ride BBS that's why i said this.

I only ever hear people hating on almost and blind. but i guess thats more about the brand overall and not the boards themselves.

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

No…..people hate on them because they are made in China….or that they just don’t like them and shit….it’s fun to hate on stuff….

There are specific characteristics which may not be everyone’s preferences but the boards are fine….I hope they stick around…

Gildan's are the industry standard for blank t-shirts. I have about 4 different styles in my closet and some are worse than others but some of their styles are great eg. Heavy Cotton. Stop dragging their name through the mud and pick on Hanes instead their blanks are trash

to be fair, i think everybody has negative takes on both brands because of their cheap models

like no shit, cheap clothing gonna be cheap quality

both brands make good shit, you just gotta pay money

but unfortunately, new clothing brands want money more than they care about the quality of their product - so they buy the cheapest gildan/hanes shirts to maximize profit

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.

Mouse Koston pants are one of the bests ever.

Haha, you like it you bundle of sticks bound together with string.

Replying again because my response to you initially was much nicer until I figured out what you meant. Nice way to call someone a fa$$ot you loser. Showing your true scumbag colors. Also I'm a straight female so call me that all you want; you're right I LOVE DICK. Try again q anon boomer. God forbid a female participates, I'm sorry it upsets your old man assumptions about who's here. God forbid I was a male, or even a gay male, it'd be even more offensive. BA is a better skater than you'll ever be and represents the culture better too.

Say it with your chest, you scaredy-cat wimp!
Such a coward, you’re not even willing to own your shitty opinions & take the heat for them.
Kindly fuck all the way off, you yellow bellied nebbish, you spineless poltroon, and any number of various other apt, old timey insults I can muster to hurl at you, you god forsaken jellyfish of a human.
In other words, beat it you squid.

Eh, I'd respond in context but my kickflip is likely way nicer than yours.

[sle_epy]

You like mens assholes and you want to service mens assholes but you can't make a living from it so it's your only hobby.

Quit projecting. The sag is prob too tempting to you. Several more inches close to that sweet sweet skater man butthole. It'd only take a few more inches of pulling em down.

[Acid Drop]

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