Nyjah is the best.
Hands down, word is bond
Everybody loves him they just too scared to say it out loud. Anybody say hes wack is jealous
Best parts, hardest tricks
Gets the girls you wish you had
Gets paid to live the life you dreamt of but didnt have the talent/ work ethic to achieve
Has fun everyday and doesn’t care what you think of his clothes
Dont be mad cause he’s different than you, that’s some racist shit

He cares a little bit, he got bullied into wearing pants instead of booty shorts

Self police.

Kid park: little kids that just starting skating, their parents, scooter kids. Kids that just run around the park. If your grown should only be here if you’re with a kid. No drugs

Big boy park: drugs, alcohol, homelessness? If your a kid should only be here if you’re a certified ripper, maybe from a fucked up home or have good parents that have installed the importance of not falling into peer pressure. Also kids from skate families too.

Idk just been thinking about how intimidating it must be for a parent with no ties to skating to bring their kid to a park

[goofyboi420]

we cant just go back in time. the parks are for kids. they are the ones buying skate products after all. you really have no business being there as a grown man or whatever.

Don't worry! Karens fear nobody and the skatepark belongs to them and  their evil hellspawns.

Incredibly accurate take, bravo
Also must be another reason for the surge in DIY spots

I really want to witness a heavyset mother scream at skaters that got too close to her scooter son; the sounds likened to the power of deep rumblings not heard since the earth still lent its power to the feral land dwellers in exchange for their affection, worship, and blood sacrifices.

This implies parents are actually paying attention to their kids when they bring them to the park. Though I suppose it doesn't take much to blame anyone/anything else when a person is dedicated to taking zero ownership in a situation they're unhappy with.

Probably not the most unpopular opinion ever, but cross lock grinds just bother me so much

[apport]

you guys sound like r/childfree posters, referring to
kids as “hellspawns”, corny af

I don’t love the way they look. Many see it as a different trick than a 5050, I tend to agree.

All of us are. Playing keeps the mind young...

But I dunno about the V8/GKlocker wheelbase change having thought about it. Sure it's good if the truckholes have been misdrilled but the nose is still just as far away even if you bring back the truck. No silver bullet.

I've gotten used to cross locked 5050s and now prefer how they look. Heel locked ones look more stiff/less flowy imo. I'm talking on rails only though. I have a friend that cross locks on ledges and it looks silly.

Bams part in One Step Beyond is a GREAT video part.

Cross-locking on a ledge isn't a make

While we're on this topic, will someone please fucking tell me what this trick is called:

I approach a rail in fakie stance with my back to the rail, I fakie ollie into what would be a switch bs noseblunt.

Is that fakie bs bluntslide or a fakie fs bluntslide?

[close]

Fakie front blunt, just like how if you did it into a what would be a sw back tail it would be a fakie front noseslide.

Thank you.

I agree...but the other way, I'd just say half cab blunt....koo...koo....

I like half cab bluntslide. It's economical.

[Dr.S]

Hardflip backtails are illegal. Hardflip backlips too but that's pretty obvious. Anything involving less than a 180° shuv into a slide ain't right

Is this directed only at pro skaters? Because fuck man, if you can do a hard flip to back lip that would pretty much shut down the session at any of my local skateparks.

I say all illegal tricks are legal for non pros.  There was a local that did shuvit tail grab shuvit flyouts only for hours but he’d do it all aggro and eat shit and scream sometimes.  I wish he took it further like to grind or did an extra tail grab at the end

I understand the mindset behind this one, but I can't get behind it.

Seen lots of nicely executed ones that make me feel otherwise.
