woah Koston mentions re-lacing his shoes haha which was a hot topic recently

[WhoCareZ]

dang bypassed the smaller NIKE SB channel straight to the main Nike channel

[Lenny the Fatface]

Koston’s a terrible dad, my father swatted the shit out of weak ass layups like the one his son threw up.

I wouldn't be shocked if Koston still had the biggest name recognition on SB. THPS 2 was just massive, combined with him long being one of the faces of the X-Games and a legit legend for his run of parts from 101 to Yeah Right.

I know Koston isn't liked that much these days, but I find him ok in small doses.

pro: sighting of a Heated Wheel Peter Hewitt board
con: a bit too much zooming in on Nike logos, we know who's paid for it, subtlety is good.

[Sleazy]

never got the koston hate. love the dorking around with your kids vibes. been doing a lot of that lately with my kids, good stuff. i also liked that he just exposed his son to it and let him want to do it instead of pressuring him. it's the same approach i took.

I actually enjoyed that a lot more than I thought I would. I think the Koston hate stems from his social media outbursts (which were a long time ago).

P.S. I love how that Frogtown skatepark is so popular despite how shitty it looks on video and how many other skateparks are available in the LA area.

Is it the only park in the Silverlake/Los Feliz vicinity?   Surprised they’ve never made one in that rec sports area down by the “river”

I still can’t get over how loud that must be for the house a few feet away and for the neighborhood

I agree with how Koston laces his shoes.

[manysnakes]

I agree with the pro-Koston sentiment here. I've always liked the dude, liked him here. I'm sure he's annoying IRL but that's fine because we are not friends.

Ya my girl was like “I forgot how loud that skatepark is”. There are more parks in silver lake/Los feliz, the area that marsh park is in is kinda on the other side of the 5 tho so it’s easier for people over in like Glendale/Atwater to go to frogtown than to go to lake st or echo park due to traffic. At least that’s my theory but I’m new out here lol.

Proximity could be part of it but I think a lot of people just like it and think its fun/cool.

[funeral_tuxedo]

That video was kind of fun plus I respect that Koston has a lacing philosophy.

[Streebo]

Damn the frost hating on the local training plaza and he wont even claim his own kid? We are not off to a good start in this movie

[Rockin Robbin]

BERRIES ALERT

Anyone else kinda stoked Koston can still flip like this?

[conan777]

My gripe with Koston is how he 'dorks around' at comps. It was never funny and never will be. Please stop.

Yeah it would be way better if he took it really seriously and was ultra competitive, like ice skating.

imagine flying to Florida to put it down like this and not at your own dime (while probably still getting paid)

[MexicanSpaniard]

You can't make me like him

No. You're right. It isn't funny. But kind of fascinating, no?

[The real veganshawn]

The skating was good

[Tear Up a Trick]

I would love to go skateboarding with Eric Koston.
