2023 unpopular opinion thread

That Tony Hawk part was good but it would have been cool if he skated some different ramps or at a park

[Ourladyoftheflowers]

52 classics for life and I be skating shitty east coast spots all the time. It's not that hard lol.

It’s easily possible but way smoother to ride a larger wheel. To each their own but if I can save a push and not have my knees rattling from cracks and brick I’ll skate a 54-56. That being said if the added challenge is exciting and makes it more fun more power to you . I just wouldn’t call it cheating to ride a larger wheel on rougher ground

[Blind Fisherman]

Hating on bigger wheels is definitely unpopular. Congrats, kid. You won.

56mm or bust.

[manysnakes]

“Arguing” about wheel size is completely asinine. First of all, who cares what size wheels or decks other people skate? What could affect you less? Secondly, the difference between 53 and 56mm wheels is completely negligible - 1.5mm in height. If you are remotely talented at skateboarding it should take you about three ollies before you have accumulated to wheel size.

In other unpopular news…..making sense is overrated….

Caring about wheel size same as caring about dick size

and speaking of dick size, what’s the deal with everyone being over particular about their shoes being TTS or having to swap out the insoles?  I’ve never met a size 7 that didn’t fit my feet. guess I’m lucky

Making sure SLAP knows that you don’t care about SOTY or are over it is super weak.

This is unpopular opinions I’m in the right place right? 
SOTY race rules.  Everyone wants it all the footage comes out best time of the year.  At a nigh level skating is competitive all these dudes want it embrace it.

don't get me wrong, the inevitable SOTY discussions around every major video part in november - december grow tedious, but the guy whose only contribution is some virtue signal-ass post saying "no one cares about SOTY" in the middle of a dozen people discussing it? yeah, that's way worse

For real. I’ve never sized up or down in different shoes. Always wore the same size and it’s never given me any trouble.

Honeycrisps are the most basic bitch apple. They’re too sweet and apples for people who just want candy. The best apples have an equal balance of sweet and tart. I’ve been fuckin with the heirloom apples now that i work in produce at a grocery store. They’re as cheap if not cheaper than all those overly sweet engineered apples.

Do you actually buy the same size in Nike vs some chuck Taylors?  You're not the enlightened one if so

Idk I personally try to be a “positive role model” (I hate that phrase lol) or at least try to be.

If you can't be a perfect example, be a terrible warning.

Lol I don’t wear either of those, so I wouldn’t know.

So you must be one of those apple snobs I’ve been reading about.

Same. Whether it’s true personality or a shtick, don’t care, laugh every time and about 1/4 of the time think “FUCK, they actually make a decent point…”

Also anyone calling out honeycrisp for being a basic bitch apple needs to be including their preferred alternative so we can judge you back.

And jazz apples are great.

granny smith owns the apple game
