2023 unpopular opinion thread

[gaunting]

I know a lot of people are fucking with them, but I just can’t get down with the ASICS skate shoes. 🤮 there is one model they have, that I would possibly wear (the real thin cupsole ones) but every other skate shoe I’ve seen from them, is god awful looking. I also think a lot of my distain for their shoes, has to do with their bizzare logo they blast on the side of the shoes.

Also, idk if this is even an “unpopular opinion” or not, but skating in SB dunks don’t hold a candle to skating in the basketball dunks. Almost a different shoe all together.

Rodney Mullen is a Fed tho. And why does he cry so much? Is he drunk?  He cry like the drunk homies do when they talk about doing bad things.

Man really DO cry a lot tho.
He’s like skateboarding’s John Boehner, or something.

Getting a lot of John Boehner references in my life this week.

Me too. It's probably a speaker chaos thing like you think this shit is new this dude used to cry a whole lot!

Yup that what it is.

THIS! When you smoke after warming up (atleast for me) is when the actual magic happens. If I do it before, I'm not gonnaa do jack shit and my legs will be all heavy and shit

tale as old as time

[manysnakes]

has playing skate always been super prevalent and i've just been too socially maladjusted to have been involved or has it become more commonplace in the last ~10 years? like i know its been around forever but the influx of strangers coming up and asking me to play skate has increased significantly recently

The popularity of S.K.A.T.E has probably risen proportional to BatB.

Batb took a while to catch on where i live. I remember constantly having to explain myself why i took second turn on the last letter

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

Kids don’t really play it around here….20 years ago random kids would just be looking to crush everyone…now it’s a broader range of people skating so it happens but I’d say it’s less of a thing…..

I’d say the average person who watches BATB is 27….

[Magnolia]

If I'm skating with friends we'll just play skate to warm up. If someone gets bored halfway in we're fine calling it quits and just moving right along. We don't use berries rules. Every letter gets 2 tries and you can do all the goofy shit you want

[A Not At All Naughty Chemist]

We play a lot of games since we primarily skate flat, for last trick we give each other 5 tries minimum

[SatanicPanic]

I wouldn’t know. At my age no one thinks I can do flat ground. And they’re mostly right

[mrselfdestruct]

any board above 8.5 is unnecessary and inconvenient. (i used to ride 8.75s)

Never jack off or have sex before the session, it will take all the excitement out of you

Loads of research

i've been told the opposite was the case. might come down to personal preference eh

So whenever I rubbed the genie lamp before the session or mounted my girl, I felt drained and exhausted, without the initial excitement I had for the session.
But if you wait until after the session, while skating, you still have this prehistoric drive and energy and then after the session you can go for a shower and a proper wank / mount.
I actually never tried to unload mid session, maybe that's the key

[Dojsha Abuser]

"mid session wank"

we might be on to something here.

[Mystical Leader]

The Classic huck don’t fuck but I’ve had my best sessions after fucking. I’ll have to add that I was never a “hucker” but some have said I’m a fucker..

If somebody with photoshop skills could make that diagram photo of skaters who huck and know what fucking is and people who fuck but don’t know what hucking is I’d appreciate that.

[Dojsha Abuser]

this discussion should have its own thread.

[Dojsha Abuser]

question for @Prostate Exam

have you tried it to the point where you almost nut, but stop at the peak. and then go skate? would it give the sesh more boost.

what are your thoughts?

this should be investigated.

what if you this mid session?

[ssbsminotti]

Hard disagree, and don’t even feel like i have to explain myself. Your argument only counts for regular noseslides and boardslides

Wait so is the established order warm up, smoke weed, then jerk off or warm up, jerk off, then smoke weed?

I put Tyler in the bottom right because he has a kid but I'm guessing he doesn't know how exactly that came to pass

 Actively using the kook/gnar system is way more whack and pitiful than talking about it.

actually i think the rep and ignore system does a lot towards keeping this place usable. there's plenty of people who game other posters for a positive rep which can be annoying but there's a lot of value in seeing posters with outlandish, offensive takes roundly rejected by lots of people on this site. it's a good warning sign to not take that person seriously

either way, getting upset (or proud) of the fake and meaningless number next to your user name is the lamest thing possible

BACK ON TOPIC: david gonzalez absolutely knows what fucking is! have you seen the man's thirst traps? come on

Men that take underwear pics in a full length mirror are NOT having sex. They want to but they aren't. You gotta post hole

[AceBoogie]

motherfuckers at the skatepark posting up all day, saying whats up/ dapping you and smiling in your face but wont let you bum a cigarette.
