grown men in baggy pants…didn’t we all grew up?It was cool in the 90s and early 2000s..and I get it when kids do it these days…but seeing someone in his 30s or older wearing these…i actually feel sorry for them
I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me. You think you got me?
All that grunge talk & nobody wanna mention Mudhoney?My take on that older shit like Doors, Beatles, etc, is: if you know, then it’s the Kinks. Otherwise, you slept.Face to Face, Something Else, Village Green Preservation Society, the list goes on & on.
the rapper is named detroit?
Roy on Roids is completely fuckable, even with that forehead tattoo.
I listened to Wu-Tang every day for years when I was young, wore a wu hoodie every single day my entire freshman year of hs, shit is unlistenable to me nowadays, enter the 36 chambers is one of the most overrated albums of all time, ghostface has some heaters (mighty healthy is still amazing) ob4cl2 was great (surgical gloves was great) but I can’t listen to liquid swords or anything any more it’s so fucking corny Wu is one of the most overrated rap groups of all time, would much rather hear a chief keef song over a part than some fucking 90s rap I’m over it

Christian Hosoi's style is massively underrated in the current era of skating, probably because it's been overshadowed by his personality. His contemporaries like Jeff Phillips and Neil Blender get way more attention from the core skate world.

Golden era was a great blend. I realize it's all more nuanced than my statement makes it out to be. I was sort of referencing mainstream rap mostly. Not underground etc that's different.[close]
If ASICS actually makes an effort they’d overtake con’s or adidas for that 4th spot in corpo skate footwear. I’m not a fan of the logo but both those companies have gone so bare minimum in their shoe lines with the right team it wouldn’t be hard to get skaters on board. Walker Ryan just posted in em. So if you’re scooping up the actual talent that companies are letting go to the wayside like walker and dilo you could do a lot. . I guess con’s would probably be the first to go? You don’t see new guys getting con’s flow much anymore .
Fuck brandon biebel... The lemon thrower
I’m all for this Asics skate shoe thing, but their social media presence feels a little corny and desperate at this point. Quantity over quality, guys. You don’t have to repost every clip from every rando you send shoes to.
