2024 unpopular opinion thread

[ToySanta]

Or, or, orrrrr…

Aimu skates like how Ronson Lambert thought he did.

[Magnolia]

It still looks forced but there's a degree of fluidity to it that Ronson could never hope to have

[Southernmost]

Aimu and yuto clearly have fake forced style, people used to hate on ronson lambert, to me these 2 are way worse, but somehow people love em

I concur. These guys are obviously very talented but the hands down seems forced sometimes. Not quite as natural and smooth as Antwuan or Tom. Not diggin Aimu’s goofy boy fits either.

You can't justify a line with a flip trick to end it. If the clip wasn't good enough without your finale flat ground trick, it's not worthy

I'll assume this is probably a popular opinion but damn do I see a lot of this in vids lately

[let’s go home]

Your Ronson talk made me to watch his TWS part.
Some crazy tech stuff you still don’t see nowadays.
But that bs 5-0 flip out…

Plaza skating is almost skatepark skating.  You don’t get to camp out all day practicing the same thing over and over in the streets, you go feral and find the crust or the untouched spots.

I love having cheesy Christmas music stuck in my head at this time of year

i get your point but it depends on the plaza. pulaski, love and emb all went through eras of being big busts. 36DD
street skating is the aesthetic, randoms for ambiance and alternative use of structures but a lowbust plaza might afford you the same carefree environment as a park.

i dunno, at a certain point i don't know how you can fake your style tre flipping down a 16 stair or doing any of the huge stuff that yuto does. i feel like at a certain point your lizard brain takes over and your brain is too preoccupied with staying alive to think about how you're looking flying through the air

i do agree aimu's fits look goofy, as in he literally looks like a character in a goofy movie

Yuto skates Pulaski, shirtless, body checks scooter kids and smokes Newports.

Idk man Herman ending shit with good flat was always good imo

[Unkle Fleak]

I never liked the way natas pushed his bloard. Hat was the one fault there. Mike v too.

I get annoyed by watching people skate with their hands on their knee.

Mark tho. That mofo pushes almost s dope as I.

Happy Hanukkah, and merry day after environmental assassination day.

It just means you need a scooter handle

[WashingtonNECKTIE]

Its not like your hand has anything better to do.

I'd rather see it braced on your leg and getting after it, as opposed to doing the funky chicken, flailing around from your shoulder

[MyUserName]

Hand-on-knee is literally how I learned how to push switch. It provides stability. Sounds like pseudo-science but to me at least it’s night and day difference.

[chany penguin]

Markovich put hand to knee if he needed extra speed to clear 8 ft fence. Looked sick

[Franksnose76]

Many men have put their hands on my knee...for stability not gonna lie kinda liked it...

[Unkle Fleak]

I can’t do it. If I touch my knee I’m like zap. Zap.  Don’t do that.
