2023 unpopular opinion thread

[moonordie]

I can't stand Tony Hawk and I think is a major sellout. Same goes for Mike V.

Eh with the late shuv they catch the board too close to the ground. I usually like a nice high catch.

[close]

I'm exaggerating a bit but every couple years the late shove and bigspin come back for a minute and they're a bit better. Kairi is so smooth I can see the technique getting figured out where the catch comes earlier

I kinda agree on the bigspin, I kinda like it when they look like a back 180 with a late shuv.
But with pop shuvs I definitely prefer them tweaked out and caught at their peak height.
In fact, I've always thought a really well executed pop shuv is one of the best looking tricks in skateboarding.

Late shove it and bigspin looks better than regular shove it and bigspin.

This is a truly fried take. Well done.

We see so many mediocre ones that people forget how good pop shuvs can look

Justin Strubing in the 88 video always comes to mind.

Drake Jones had some good ones too.

Ah okay, unplugged album ranking…confusedes back.  that with “live albums of all time” a couple pages back…
Objectively incorrect, but that’s okay. I’ve not heard Alice In Chains unplugged but the math’s just not there for it to be better than LL’s deodorant clump. That’s the best of those things. (I can’t listen to Nirvana, not the good Nirvana where he sings at least, probably for the rest of my life).
Best live album is Curtis, obvz

This unplugged performance blows both Nirvana and Alice In Chains out of the water.

[close]

This recent unplugged performance was actually really good.

[close]

Haven't watched the entire Juvi one, but I liked the Usher one. He's having a good time. So far the hiphop/R&B tiny desk have been awesome

[close]

Love the meme that came out of that Usher one when he was about to perform Confessions.

Wheelbase means nothing and it’s the same as shoes
Don’t trust anyone that Ollied the gonz barefoot about shoes. That’s dumb. Obviously dudes feet are special and he don’t care about shoes and is just trying to get some more money and they look like how sketchers used to emotionally. I vomit on your big boi pants just like I vomit on your whasup rockers.

kickflip a 50 inch longboard that has a nose & tail

do it slut, then come back to big daddy switchfakie who'll wipe your tears away assuring you wheelbase matters

Couldn’t agree more, I’m a simp for a well popped pop shove. Justin strubing in the 88 video is what sparked it for me

East Coast skating takes itself too seriously

That is true with NYC skateboarding. But here in Massachusetts, we’re still just kids having fun and ripping around like anywhere else.

Wtf does that even mean? I hate when people say this so much. When I do a fs shuv, the tail goes towards my toes and my nose towards my heels? So where does it go?

Fakie bs bigspin is a fatter kid trick than fakie fs bigspin, though.

No denying Mullens positively huge impact on skateboarding and his skill, but fuck me dead i cant listen to the cunt talk on his Ted talk / mindset bullshit. His whole schtick seems so contrived it shits me to fuckin tears. You hear him talk in casual interviews and he isnt on that full pelt rainman bullshit, but just pulls it out to sound more intellectual.

One of the most insufferable trends as of late has been rich assholes reinventing themselves as success/win mindset coaches.
