HOT LITTLE TAKES

[Mean salto]

gatekeeping spots is kook behavior

Depends what the spot is. If you've put in the work, time and/or money into building, maintaining or finding something I can see why you'd be hesitant about sharing.

Gatekeeping can be necessary for spot preservation and needs addressed on a case by case basis. Most people that I’ve heard say this is kook behavior usually dont have spots to share themselves but without fail want a pin to something they saw in a video. Spothunters can be touchy about this with good reason. Maybe if those who dislike gatekeeping so much started spothunting more they’d find some spots themselves to share with the public (or gatekeep).

depends.... One of our winter spots in a parking garage is a bust now, because some people couldn't stop bragging about that cool winter spot. Too many people coming through, leaving too much garbage....

[kook1234]

ouuu yea!!! love a hot little take.  here's mine:

Snake Farm, cool name.

Alien King, would've been a better name than King.

April graphics, not bad.

[OneMore]

Jagger Eaton has one of the best bags of tricks of any pro skater.

Each of you are beautiful and worthy of love

No one that sucks at skating says AVE is their favorite skater.

[close]

to be fair, the only people that remember ave's skating are older dudes & those dudes are pure skate rats that'll never stop skating and are pretty good bc they skate so much

i highly doubt you could find a sub 18 year old who has watched an ave part

[close]

? Children love FA, of course they’ve seen AVE parts.

[close]

im 26, love FA/Hockey & dudes only a few years younger than me have never seen AVE parts. On the same note, i've never seen a Gino Ianucci or Jason Dill part

I'm in the south right now, so it may vary in different parts of the US - so take my words with a grain of salt

[close]

It kinda blows my mind that you like skateboarding enough to post about every single detail of it with strangers on the internet, but not enough to put a name into a youtube search bar and educate yourself on the skaters that literally built the brand you say you love.

Go watch AVEs Vans part, Dills skatemore part, then Gino in Yeah Right.

[close]

Hot take: watching skateboarding is fuckin boring, I just kind of get the gist of what people are doing from slap and formulate my opinion off that

[close]

hot take: maybe the coolest part of skateboarding is watching it

It's the only thing skateboarding-related that I'm actually good at.

i dont like FA for ave & dill

i like FA/Hockey only for the skaters my age - k rod, nik stain, sean & sage etc

i watched segments of Dill's/ave's parts as per your request and i could give less fucks. i hate their music and could care less about their legacy that you imply is important

i dont feel the need to "educate myself" further on the skaters who built a brand when theyre not even the reason i like the brand

[Kook Me Amadeus]

With all the talent coming up in skateparks, it’s only a matter of time before a skater with serious parkour abilities - and the big impact skillset of Jaws, Joslin or Pine - maximizes off-the-board roaming aspects of freerunning and becomes a social media phenomenon - while presenting an affront to the core skate community by, well… being themselves.

Legacy is important but not every skateboarder has to be a skate historian. It's reasonable to like a team based on who currently skates for them and not necessarily who used to / is out of their prime. Lots of teams / pros have fell off. Dill is a kook and I don't care about his skating either tbh.

AVE I get the admiration for but his skating isn't really my cup of tea personally. Also, forgive me old heads but do you actually skate a board brand just because of who used to be on the team?

I like and appreciate 90s and 2000s skating and even like some of it more than the current stuff, I'm very into Tom Penny like anyone but I wouldn't buy a flip board in 2023 because of what he did in the 90s, no disrespect to the legend.

[Tom Pearl]

Dill had the last part in arguably the greatest video of all time, you mf's better recognize

Liking AVE’s skating is non-negotiable.  You either dig it or you turn in your board and skater badge to the nearest shop.

[BALARGUE]

AVE is almost 45 and still skate like a champ
Buying his board in 2023 is half nostalgia-respect for what he did / half respect for what he is currently doing

This is some weird  Idiocracy - I’ll bet you 100 dollars in younger than you n I grew up watching skating of all eras and styles , you really should too it’s like with music or painting - if you only look at a small time frame and group for inspiration your just setting your self up to look like an idiot on and off board. You say you hate their music but you love current FA - are movie scores your preferred genre to listen too? Obviously not - I think you j a shallow poser - the people you like on FA would look down on you for your world views.

The era is basically the slip on but you can adjust it. You can also leave them tied up and still slip them on easier than the slip on so they win. Slip on second 106 third

Kinda agree on this one if you skate without pads or casual uses, they look so fucking sick but I can't stand laces ripping like butter.
