the skateboard industry makes a lot more sense once you realize that most of the major institutions don’t adhere to any sort of logic and make decisions based on what their group chats think are funny

The entire world is run this way. Just imagine what the Bohemian Grove group chat is like.

somewhere on the planet right now there's a Bilderberg elite sitting on the toilet spamming the group chat with flame and gas emojis in response a video of george w bush doing the buffalo bill dance at the moloch effigy ceremony last night

No doubt planning tonight's orgy at the compound of whoever they got to replace Epstein.

Based on this I'd imagine it's not unlike some group chats I'm in

I hate the way Dylan Jaeb lands every single trick with his head cocked with that look on his face. It's literally fuckin every clip.  But he's super good and still enjoy his skating

Sometimes it’s fun to just cruise around the neighborhood doing power slides instead of hitting the park. Preferably really early in the morning or before the sunsets. After or before work lol

It's actually a pretty solid slap trope.....

Two thousand nak-teen was Nakel’s jumping the shark moment.

FA is corny. That LA jam just shows it.

Unpopular with the neighbors who have listen to screeching wheels in the early am or dinner time

Louie's Jacuzzi company will inevitably fail by 2024 due to their riders alcoholism.

Small decks like 8 even 7.75 are good for transition skating.  Mini ramps and big transition whatever

i had an old guy (between 50 and 60) at the shop who was skating vert with a 7.5. It seems he enjoyed that configuration for a few years. It didn't make sense to me though (but i'm not a transition skater)
I recommended to try a larger board between 8.5 and 9. He picked an 8.75 and never looked back.

Unpopular opinion on Slap-boards that small aren't good for anything except nearly stationary tricks on perfect flatground.

Has been 30 years and Gonz still the most annoying skater. Ok, he changed the game, is a good person, but c’mon. His art sucks and fat ass that skates bad trying to be funny. I think Koston was trying to be like Gonz but at least dude can skate… the pass that skate industry do to Gonz is more worse than Bea.

[Sizzle]

Complaining about Koston being annoying is annoying, he’s paid insane dues, complaining about him bunting Tampa runs or berrics stuff is crazy

Gonz still hitting handrails in his 50s. He is, always has been, and always will be the truth.

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

yeah actually he's been getting better, unfortunately the same cannot be said about his art......

He skates really well for his age. I don’t know if there are too many other fifty-somethings that can switch tre. His art is what it is. His personality, who knows. It might just be shtick. His being fat- he’s not fat he’s just got a typical body for a Chicano of his age (says Chicano in his forties).
