HOT LITTLE TAKES

[Newphone]

Lizard King is overhated on here, Lizard King rules.

He’s a super nice dude in person, like talking to kids adults, whoever like friends. Also he rips.  I think because of his particular trick selection in parts, people don’t realize how proficient he is as an all around skater.

Thoughts on Nelly? People seem kind of divided on her here but I think she has dope style even if her level of tricks aren't mind blowing... As an aside how are people not sure if she's male or female? Because of her clothes? Always confuses me when I see speculation on that.

To which part? As far as whether they like her or not it seems like 50/50. I've seen speculation about gender a couple times too here and elsewhere.

Yea, to me she looks like a cute tomboy so I dunno. My friend who usually has good takes on skating generally doesn't really dig her which surprised me, so I did a search here and found a little but now I'm just more curious what the guys here think about it.

[Sizzle]

Back lips on ledges should be way more popular, the switch version is one of the coolest tricks out there. Came of age in the Silas soty era when they were more popular so may just be my own biases though.

I’d be shocked if Limosine lasted longer than 3D.

[close]

“The first catalog for 3D was released in September 2013…. 3D ceased operations in 2015”

That’s a tough one to beat. I think Limo will be around longer than another year

[close]

There's no way a brand named Limosine will last longer than three years at most

[close]

I’ll bet you 10 dollars they be around 5 years from now .

I'll virtually shake on that.

I might be the only person on here to have ever said anything other than positive about her and that was me saying she was overrated.

Nelly is rad. Let their gender be. If it’s important enough that strangers know their pronouns, they’ll mention it, or not. Who cares

 “I have a Dylan-esque kickflip” ahhhh I see

[c-dock]

If the materials were better Dickies 874 would be the perfect skate pants. Baggier than "regular fit" jeans but don't look baggy while skating

Truck weight is relatively unimportant

I still prefer VX videos over widescreen HD, but HD with the VX aspect ratio is probably objectively the best format to film with. Keeps the spontaneity of a smaller video frame while retaining the good quality we're able to film with now.

Probably not a hot take but music can make or break a part no matter how good the skating is

What’s wrong with the 874 material? My goto skate pant. Nothing to complain about

They've always been in my rotation as well so I can see where you're coming from, but I've heard a lot of people say they don't like the way they feel. Not sure if they just tried them on without washing at all but you can't deny that polyester feels weird when you're used to wearing jeans all the time. 874's don't break in until 2-3 washes

Gotcha. In the break-in period the feel quite weird. But after that, they are pretty perfect. Good fit, can take a healthy dose of abuse.

Not much of a jeans wearer, so I can’t say anything about how those two pants compare. Carhartt simple pants feel nicer out of the box, but I don’t like the fit that much

[Wienerboy]

Here's a hot take:

The worst thing about Slap is when fuckers try to reprimand people for making new posts and not including them in the exact tab and location they would choose. For the most part, Slap veterans are the worst part of this thing.

Throw some kooks at me you bitches.

Yeah they're a solid pair of pants once they're broken in. Nice to have so many color options too

Birdhouse - The End is a terrible video due to the cinematic film style. It doesn’t feel like skating to me, and can’t relate to it at all.

I absolutely get what you’re saying about the filming making it kinda weird but it has a special place in my heart.  Maybe it’s just nostalgia though.

Kinda funny because Jeremy seemed to hate the video too. In the commentary track he spends a fair amount of time expressing his hatred for Mouse’s filming, which as we know, is featured prominently throughout the video

Yeahhh but he was right about that one. The filming was just straight up bad.

I think fs bigspin bs boards are one of the worst looking tricks, especially when taken back to regular. Even though bigspin fs boards have become the contest trick, I still prefer them all day.

Switch bigspin boards are sick though

I'm not hung up on this, but I do think it every time I watch a contest. Can you even do a bigspin boardslide? Especially if you come out forwards again. Like, a kickflip frontboard is not a backside flip boardslide...you know?

I agree and I wanted to call it a fs shuv board but I’ve never heard anyone say shuv boardslide in regards to a bs bigspin board taken back to regs.

I never liked the Doors

I listened to a podcast that described them something along the lines of "heinous, psychedelic circus music" and I can never go back.

Break on Through is still sick cause of THUG2 tho
