Kyle Walker and Aidan Mackey skate the same way, Kyle just does it more competently

This was rattling around in my head for Kyle's entire part in Oval but the manual varial heel out really cemented it for me

[close]

Interesting, I must've missed kyles dirt Mannys

[close]

They skate different spots at a different scale but they're stylistically similar. Aidan hucksc the same way Kyle does, just not at the same  level

Yea um


..... Nah

What an insane take. Has Aiden ever skated a handrail? Drop ins on dirt hills and riding off of a garage roof is not the same as grinding kinked rails and hucking huge bump to bars. But continue to live in la la land I guess

1995 Anti-hero would probably vomit on 2025 Anti-hero.

The Nike, Yeti, Supreme, etc. collabs are lame as fuck.

Their new collab with Supreme is…some turboclown shit.

Is that really an unpopular opinion? Because I would agree.

If you think about it, that old Black Label guy Ben Gilley is practically the same skater as Aimu Yamazuki.

Pretty popular opinion

This is the 2nd Supreme with them collab btw

An unpopular opinion would be Anti Hero has sucked for about 15 years now.

[BartHarleyJarvis]

My unpopular opinion is I like supreme. The LA guys have always been cool to me.

If the supreme collabs mean that Julien can pay his rent/mortgage and keep skating, I’m for it. They’ve definitely had a couple already, they did the Atmosphere Urine drop and the Supr/Hero drop just off the top of my head.

[kimmeyjimmel]

I feel like Mugatu from Zoolander when I see casper Brookers footage.”ITS ALL THE SAME THING!!!”
Backtail, nose slide, noseslide kickflip out, front crook, backside flip, backside 360, 360 flip, crooked grind, crook kickflip out

Their ads have gotten way tamer / lamer / more generic, too, unfortunately.

Well, if it’s an unpopular take then sign me up. This is what happens after Grosso died, now there’s no snide voice to tell them how they’re blowing it.
Grosso forever.

Idk lately its been giving corniest of the cornballs. Everything in skating is corny rn tho so shrug

[Chonk_Fondress]

Fingerless gloves should be taken more seriously as skate accessories, I mean, padded palms!

Him and Hjalte are both much better versions of Nik Stain.

Understandable but for some reason gloves look awful in skate clips, can't explain why.

[DeanMaple]

Louie looked cool wearing gloves.
But when doesnt he?

I dont think theres a clip, only a photo.

I don't understand:
 "I wore gloves because the ground is rough" = OK
"I wore a helmet because the ground is hard" = LAME

I mean, I don't wear a helmet either, but it's kind of a weird double standard

[DeanMaple]

You say like eating cows and have dogs as a pet?

[pop idiot]

I don't really need to hear any more Smiths/Moz in skate videos but there is potential for a gloved skater to use Hand In Glove, with it edited in such a way that sun shown out of their behind. Or a couples part sharing a single pair of gloves. So romantix

[Dj Paul]

I dont know if it is an unpopular opinion, but I hate when skaters disrespect or mock another regular worker at the spots. Its minus bad when you a very young, but cmon when um are a grown ass man like fat Bill you need to pay some respect to workers of your age.

[Jort250]

I’ve always seen front smiths in video parts in the same light as back crook where you need something better than a 50 but is also easy to lock in

Also I genuinely enjoy the John Hill and Chris Chann videos where they learn some weird fucked up trick - like John Hill’s Yuto video. I like seeing how skaters better than me approach and troubleshoot problems

[kookdusoleil]

I don’t understand how anyone can hate on TJ Rogers.

[Democratic Republic Of Mongo]

For a while people on here were wondering why Anti Hero hadn’t turned Nick Matthews pro, but then people are shocked and dismayed at their Supreme collab.

What is money?

[Mongo Lloyd]

Dylan smoking wasn’t cool.
Beatrice’ skating is cool for her skill level.
I’m mostly indifferent to all things dlx. 
I’m over overdressed skate fashion, and I’m happy the dress shoe/skate sneaker is out.

[kimmeyjimmel]

Who was skating dress shoes? One of the worst ever was the rubber toe caps on shoes that were popular before 2020

I definitely group casper and nik stain together but cant put Hjalte in there , i feel like everything ive seen from his ig clips is always different. At least nik stain doesnt put footage out a lot. I follow casper and he posts things quite often and its a variation of the same 3 tricks over and over again. I cant deny hes great at what he does though

2010’s was dress shoe/skate shoe-mania.

Such a bad aesthetic, especially with people not doing full
Distinguished gentleman kit.

That look sucked, ya’ll weren’t fit enough for it, and I’m too broad shouldered for it.

[Rick Trapasso]

I ain't hearing any of this anti-hero slander.

Consistently having one of the best teams and putting out great videos for 20+ years, matters more than any of this shit people are complaining about.

Also, the Eagle graphic is untouchable.

You dorks can suck a fat one.

toecaps were rad. nike sb all court cory kennedy was top notch
