It will be interesting to see what passes as subversive in the skateboarding industry in 2024.

Here is a photo I took in 2007 of Rodney Mullen and Greg Lutzka engaged in a conversation while Rocco wears Ugg Boots in the background.

What "kick" do you think he'll bring?

Rocco was a freestyle skater, who saw his discipline die out and found a way to stay in the industry through daring and a lot of luck probably. Only makes sense to cash out and get out. Also doubt he skated much in the world days seeing as he was already 'old'.

It'll be interesting to see what'll happen because he has a proven knack for this, but he is also in boomer territory and no one knows if he at all kept up with things. He could be self aware enough that he knows he's not with it and tell them to hire some cool kids whoever they may be.

Most likely it'll be a lot of on the business and logistical side. he's also good at math, did(does) it for fun, maybe he'll make them turn a profit.

I'll be keeping a average length eye on this

The Opera Act 2 vid was pretty good and I like their art direction.

Not sure it'll ever work but I always like to see Clay Kreiner skateboard. Also I always thought World was corny. My boy was a World stan in the 90s. Had a wet wilie vs flame boy board while I had a local company  board that was a giant devil injecting blood into the earth.  Still the best graphic I ever owned. Way cooler than World.

You know. Things like bringing the Indy logo back, making fun of companies’ art style and riders, or having Wet Willy saying “vote for he who shall not be named!.

That’s pretty much it… not sure if he’s that stupid, though.

A throwback to the highly breakable minimal concave early 90s World boards called “flat earth concave” (or something like that) would actually be kinda funny… in its stupidity.

i don't care one way or another, but i see plenty of 40ish skate park dudes with element boards and etnies cuz that's what they did when they were 13 or something.
[close]

those are the loudest dudes on the internet too. Skate once a month for an hour at the local and still feel the need to weigh in on how skateboarding has gotten soft and woke etc. it’s the equivalent of 90 year olds voting for some planet killer because their religious beliefs align with the campaign promises.

^ Yup. And most of them quit for a long time, too. Turboclowns.

Turboclowns is the best new insult I've seen in a while
