Joe Castrucci: WORSE Than Jamie

[Tuna]

Rodrigo a rail rider/vert dog? Tom Penny skates gnarly rails too?

Eh. 2 out of 13 aint bad.



But what i really wanna see are some cellar doors.

[vic-film]

joe castrucci is one of the 5 people who film skateboarding good ever, who cares?  why wouldnt you try to help your friends out of gross fads?

Yea.
And TM (and other ppl in such position) tend to send packages to their riders in case you didn't know.

I don't get all this "Oh, my god once he sent M's to Silas" thing.

That's a part of an interview. It's not like the ultimate truth or anything.

This is just getting too fucking weird I'm telling you.
Use your heads ppl.

i've always thought alien workshop was a goofy concept for a company, conspiracy type shit is always pretty corny.  but they always had a good team and clean graphics so i haven't really questioned it.

Word.  I always thought it was weird that the company is about Aliens and conspiracies and the dudes name who started it is Chris Carter, while around the same time, another guy named Chris Carter created The X-Files which is about aliens and conspiracies.

this is nothing compared to the whole "SLAP mods: WORSE than Jamie" Topic that was started after the mods sent out packages in order to try and get everyone to wear these....

"The wind up and the pitch... oh my, Hellman got a hold of that one... it's going... going... it's outta here!!!"

[leeroy]

I'm actually wearing a pair of those in green and Sally replaced with "Uncle-Leeroy".

a. we're not 12
b. this is slap (cliches not needed)
c. again we're not 12.

...

oh im sorry i forgot.. i post on slap.

which means i need to be down with everyone else.. gotta change my opinions here... I GOT IT!

only things i can like are the core shit right?

fuck off you follower.. flip is rad

Yeah I'm such a follower because I'm not down with lame contrived image driven companies who kick people off for almost no reason
flips team=rad
flip=sucks
theres a difference. nothing about the ads,graphics or image makes me even remotely care about them, obviously the team is the driving force. and french fred made sorry a masterpiece. don't mistake my opinion for bitterness, I'm just tired of iconic companies with no soul.
that and all the stories i've heard about jeremy fox make me not want to support them.

[Lance]

Oh man O man.....been a while since I've been on, but felt the need when it comes to this....
1. Tropics leave these boards immediately
2. Joe Castrucci has done more for skateboarding than most.
3. I personally know he shows all his riders the upmost respect, and takes care of them very well, as well as everyone else behind the scenes.
4. Tropics, eat a dick and burp yourself after you swallow.
5. Never post again.

[wallie]

really?
we need to attack people for having an opinion that may be plausible?
I remember the days of yore with alien workshop and that vibe has been gone for some time but it doesn't mean I can't stand the newer version.
There's nothing wrong with someone seeing an icon they once believed in ccrumbling and then voicing there thoughts on the subject.
And consistently Tropics manages to point out some interesting stuff.
Just because I don't agree with someone doesnt mean I need to ban them to exile.
Besides I thought the same thing when i read silas's interview, I'm glad Joe came by and cleared things up a little.

[Lance]

AWS aside, if you havent met Joe or know what he does for his people, how you gonna call him out over some bullshit, if the dude acted like a douche or was a douche I could understand, but he's not. I accept dudes opinion if its legit, putting bullshit out there isnt backable and definately not legit.
shit "opinions are like kittens i'm just given em' away"

[wallie]

I wanna say that I like dna distribution but I do miss the vibe of all those other dudes.
Times change and I cannot wait for inhabitants.
But the old man in me manages to always have that "those were the days" mentality.
Must be the girl/choc box set thats caused me to slip back into the past.

Fuck...I wake up go to bed live and die by that mentality....Im still waiting for that shit to get to the shop so i can ruin goldfish by watching it so many times

[wallie]

Yeah I watch jovantae before going skating in hopes of stealing his switch fs flips.

this topic isn't about bullshit it's about a quote from an interview.

nobody really said anything bad about castrucci, just pointed out him trying to get silas to dress differently is exactly the same shit jamie thomas gets a hard time for.

it's not like anyone said anything about his boring fucking pigeon montages, useless rider selection or the stupid, played out, phony biology nerd field trip image he's pushing.

[Lance]

Dude definately isn't dressing Silas

[otis b driftwood]

so silas is lying?

[Lance]

said the dude sent him medium instead of large but didn't force band t's or other lame shit on him.
Are you Silas?

[otis b driftwood]

said the dude sent him medium instead of large but didn't force band t's or other lame shit on him.

he's still trying to control his image.

Are you Silas?

yes, yes i am.

[sfa]

man, otis b has been pissed lately.

[Lance]

Sfa....that box never showed, i'll be out tuesday before the shop closes to TCB, then shred the GB spot and brews and cheeseburgewrs are in order.

[sfa]

yup, american shit, beer, cheesbergers, guns, pussy and skating

I know its been asked before but.....is there anything that you like,  otis b driftwood?   or do you just voice the opposite opinions of the 'slap cliche' or whatever?  maybe you're one of those sarcastic fake accounts....

Appleyard seems to just skate whatever's in front of him, most of his last ads have all been misc. tranny stuff. Good or bad, the people you hang out with influence you in some way. Hang out with rail dudes you're probably going to rails more often.

But I'm not saying he skates rails more often, I'm saying he has stopped skating ledges ENTIRELY. Look for it. Before Flip it was constant, since he was on flip he has NEVER skated basic ledges. Ever. No lines. No single tricks. I don't think he doesn't skate them at all, but for some reason, you never see any footage of it.

You can say he doesn't skate them often but to say you never see the footage is plainly untrue. Watch his part in Really Sorry; remember then line where he does two ledge tricks and then jumps the pole at the end? And remember the bs noseblunt with the tree in the background? Two examples of what you're referring to.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

I don't remember the backside noseblunt, but you are right about that one line. Still, I'm skeptical about shit.

[brooklyn brawler]

I can't believe you guys are debating over something this regular.


Mark is the king of public dooks.

[BlackSeptember]

in that puzzle video he does hardflip bactail shove...really fast. ledges are too easy for him

[brooklyn brawler]

In Flip video version 2.3, he has his laces tied three loops from the top, and in the next video, he's skating two loops open. What the fuck? Can't this guy stick to one style?! Fucking sellout if you ask me.
