i still abide by the classic rule that dressing like you don't skate is cooler than dressing like you do skate
I’d say 80% of my wardrobe is skate clothing with the other 20% being stuff that my parents/sister bought me for Xmas or my bday. Does that make me a kook? So be it. I’m totally fine with supporting brands that pay skaters I like and do rad things for skateboarding. Not all of it is trash, especially with the new crop of cool brands. I guess the unpopular opinion here is that it’s totally fine to buy/wear clothes from skate brands.

KickflipYeah not to also mention his “caught cleaness” (bolts but actually in the heels I’d like to think of)[close]This reminds me of another maybe unpopular opinion: Make SOTY less relevant again. I don´t think people gave too much of a shit about it in the early 90s. Would be nice to have that back and video parts spread more evenly during the year.

The Baker team in its prime was corny and full of posers, a real cosplay of bad boys vibe. I feel like this is a pretty safe take, but people do seem to get upset at it.
If you’re not skating in a blazer and slacks as an adult what are you doing?
Skate videos like “Naugty” and “gnar gnar” aren’t talked about nearly enough.

Have fun, cruise around and doing tricks where ever and however you want.

Something is wrong with the industry if jeffwonsong is the one going the hardest at bust or bail
I don't care for Daewon Song. I guess I respect him for being ahead of his time on a technical level, but his skating does nothing for me. Most of the stuff he's been associated with post mid-90s World is corny/forgettable.

360 flips are pressure flips
Girl/chocolate in the 90s was always kinda boring. There were a few really great skaters on the teams - Guy, Sheffey and Koston, and a bunch of guys who were very good but not very original. Their vids were 40 minutes of crooked grinds and flip tricks at the same two schools.
