Polar skate Co really sucks now & understand why Hjalte dipped. Scrolling through latest instas make me cringe

i agree i think their popularity has dropped a significant amount but shin and jamie platt are enough to keep me watching

still would rather purchase/ride a polar deck over hardbody tho

I <3 names like "hardbody" and "edglrd." They are definitely not on the spectrum between "hipster douchey" and "true douchey."

Pivoted back 180s usually look better

I think a nice bs 180 no pivot is just as sick
You’re right. I actually like both but I figured it’s unpopular opinion so I had to heat up my take

I always read it too quick and think the brand’s name is “Edgar’d” sending me deep into the foo-verse.

Yeah I'm down too. From tight legged didit flips to loose leg rodeo clown style. Most underrated is the halfcab heel/nollie frontside heel version

loose leg rodeo clown style is the most perfect description. Especially for switch frontside flips and nollie frontside heels

making fun of people stretching in the parking lot is both wack and fully valid
Hopefully not a kook, but if so, fuck it.

Extremely helpful, but also kind of a bitch move? Guilty pleasure I suppose.

Dirtboarding footage makes me enjoy a video less.

Maybe it’s thinking about dirt in the griptape and bearings but it bothers me.

I enjoy all these things. Skating through dirt and rain is fun. Try it out sometime. Is grip gum/cleaning grip a newer trend? I’ve never tried it but see more people doing it nowadays. I usually skate my set ups until they’re really beat up. My trucks are covered in wax, dust, and dirt. Wheels are discolored. Bloard all scratched with minor dings and dents. Usually don’t let it get chipped or cracked without swapping it. Anyone ever regrip their deck? My grip usually lasts me throughout the span of it’s life and I skate dusty and dirty spots.

I’ve never regripped a board but I’m OCD about my grip being dusty. I’m that guy who is slapping the dust off his grip every 15 minutes or so because I have it my head that if my grip is dirty, my board is therefore soggy and on its way out.

You can’t come at everybody sideways like this, when has anyone mocked his disability? Please give me a straight answer.

There ya go. Tilt to neck % is now correct.

Its less about the tilt and more about the offset. His head should be straight up but look like it's coming out of his shoulder

God damn it, Ignatius...
Chi vive in baracca, chi suda il salario,
Chi ruba pensioni, chi ha scarsa memoria,
Chi ha crisi interiori, chi scava nei cuori,
Chi legge la mano, chi regna sovrano,
Chi suda, chi lotta, chi mangia una volta,
Chi gli manca la casa, chi vive da solo,
Chi trova scontato, chi come ha trovato...
