2025 unpopular opinion thread

[Jort250]

Also laser flips are kind of cool if done in moderation and pivoted front and back 360s are the ugliest trick on flat

[formula420]

I dont care if its crosslocked as long as they are going fast. But high speed will make almost anything look cool.

This made me imagine a high speed pogo for some reason.

Have another L goofy




Damn @formula420 beat me to it!

It’s okay. Mad respect for calling back to another big thread debate.

[friendly dave]

Habitat shoes were actually pretty nice. The vegan half cabs, and their trail runners were decent shoes.

I don't remember the vid but y'all remember that one clip of Diego Todd doin an impossible back 50 super sketch barely holding on? That clip is the reason that cross lock on ledges is fine by me. If anybody could find it / remembers the vid I'd love to see it again.

Someone post an example of a cross lock on a ledge, I can’t imagine that happening on purpose

Are you sure it isn't this impossible front 50 from upthread? I went searching for an impossible back 50 but couldn't find it.

Either way, the back foot flair on this is simultaneously ridiculous and beautiful imo.

Curren Caples skating is boring

Good job.

Does intellectual type skating just mean similar to mark suciu?

[ferguu]

Well, I don't really like Suciu either, so ya, I guess so hahahaha. All that shiz where theyre skatin a two stair but technically its really hard and takes quick footwork and stuff like that. Just annoying I want bangerz!!!

[Gnarfunkell]

Aimu's clothes are TOO baggy. He should try just XL instead of XXXL. Ruins his footy imo.

UNCULTURED SWINE!




Is this unpopular? I like the 90s Muska/"iLLuSiOn" style hardflips better than the new "proper" hardflips the kids are doing these days. It looks awkward to me the way people have to bring their front leg inwards and practically click their heels.

I guess both can be cool but it feels a lot better to do the Muska style hardflip. Not that I've landed many. Or any...

Daniel Kim's so-called hardflips usually just look like (dramatic) pop shuvs. Similar to Cairo's nollie ones way back when. Camera angle can play a role, though. Never saw a Dkim one in person. There definitely used to be a bunch of "fs flips" coming out of San Diego that were actually pop shuvit body varials. Shit was fucking gross

I’m with you, man. He’s super talented but he seems like he’s only skating at 70% capacity.

Gifted Hater was saying the same thing but if you look at his previous Vans part he had a few really gnarly clips. I think he just doesn’t like tech stuff.
