2025 unpopular opinion thread

Ah eagle is lame. Ah pigeon is perfection.

I see so much love for the eagle and I’m like that’s just a generic biker tattoo. Yawn.

With the youts these days saying “ahh” instead of “ass”, I read you post as ass-eagle is lame, and ass-pigeon is perfection.

Is that like spread-eagle?

I want slap and skateboarding to thrive

It's not

[close]

You wanna whine and provide a platform for bigots.

How does letting hateful people share a space with the rest of us positively benefit the industry? They have their little hate filled corner in corny ass companies like the Boonies.

[close]

God your such a fuckin loser

And full of shit

People only know about the boonies because you talk about it on slap, that's how lame shit is you talk about tim pool lmao

[close]

You’re*

You’re an enabler who’s ok co-mingling with shit tier individuals who hold bad beliefs, just because they “rip”.

[close]

See, your cultish behavior is showing.

[close]

For thinking that certain people shouldn’t be provided privileged public platforms?

You’re a simple brained cunt.

You’re doubling down on my point. Look at how you’re reacting to the mere idea of people not agreeing with you. You don’t look like the compassionate and enlightened one with moral authority.

You guys ban skateboarders for their politics, sometimes even perceived politics, thats putting politics over skating and that's why there's only like 150 people here now.

Do you not?

Is that not putting politics over skating?

[close]

Because politics have real life implications and affects people’s lives …so yeah you should be kooked if your political takes align with Tim pool, Henry Sanchez, or Jason Ellis

^ Yup.

I don’t claim to be anything other than human, that’s the difference. Nor do I claim to be or aspire to be anything different. You’re projecting onto me something YOU think other people should strive to be, or what you think I’m trying to be.

You’re also trying to brand those in opposition to hatred and fascism as somehow being worse than the actual intolerant offenders. It’s very strange, and not at all an admirable argument.

When gifted hater introduced slap to the Gen z masses it was the final straw for the message boards

[Jort250]

FA class photo boards have always creeped me out. Or is that supposed to be the point. Idk or is there some artsy thing that I am missing

[Benicio El Toro]

^ It was done before FA did it but I'm too high to remember. It's driving me crazy actually. It wasnt skate related. We're getting there...shit

Edit- maybe it was a guitarist

[Plan9Customs]

The Spits did it

[fergus]

Parts with minimal lines/skaters who can't film lines almost have zero re-watch value for me.

I realised this while watching Elijah Odom's footage and reflecting on parts I had rewatched multiple times this year, Hjatle's Dancer part and Bobby's Quasi part.

There are obvious exceptions, such as Heath in Sight Unseen.

[leafman4000]

Respectfully, i disagree

I dont think that slap is dying because of gen z, i honestly think its because of the lack of users/[new content/posts in uwtb]. Even if people come here to post stupid shit, it would be beneficial. If people dont want to read a braindead thread thats completely fair, but I think some of the trolls, even if they are like 16 years old, add to the allure of slap

Just my 2 cents

edit: in brackets

Slap is pretty much an echo chamber for the 35 to 40 regular posters on this website. I still come here mostly for shoes and gear and to peek in on the happenings in UWTB but there's definitely a lack of fun posters. I miss Cheetahsheets and LeDave and a few of the other resident schizos that got ran out of here (most of them because of their own fault). Uncle Flea is my favorite PAL because you never know what state of lucidity he's in.

[close]

This is such a tired argument. Instead of engaging and providing entertainment yourself you whine about the offensive posters getting banned because they made slap entertaining for you.

[close]

Where did I say that I missed the offensive posters? Like the dude shitting up this current thread, the obvious trolls and edgemeister's get weeded out pretty quickly. I even prefaced it by saying that most of them did that on their own by being dumbasses. It's not even that I want everything to be super edgy and offensive it's just most of you have the opinions of redditors and think being a snarky and passive aggressive dork is the high point of comedy. I've come to terms that I don't have any of the same opinions as most of the people here and keep a lot of it to myself instead of complaining. I just wish people weren't as uptight and we could have some fun posting more often.

You are right, I put offensive in your mouth, you did not say that. But the rest still stands, you claim that most share the same opinion and it became boring on here. So my point still is: why not change it up yourself, I am sure there are plenty others like you that would like to have more fun, so start the movement!

Going against the grain and being labeled as someone who does that on here can be exhausting at times.

Eventually it ends up feeling like you need to go to battle after every post because people will hold grudges and bring feelings/shit from other threads into the current discussion.

I still speak my mind on here, but not as much as I used to.

It's just easier this way lol.

Slap is predicated on being hateful, all there is is hate here, hate for fellow skateboarders.

You guys don't have a problem with hate you have a problem with naughty words.

And if you have a problem with naughty words you belong in church.

No, SLAP is predicated by skateboarding…so in that context most skateboarders have a problem with kooks who try to play their bigotry as some kind of thought freedom fighting

Some guys here mocking Koston for dress like a young boy are disgusting.

Yall are actin like big jorts fashion is almost 40 years old. Its like ask for your father to stop dress sweater just because it was the fashion when he was young.

My generation invented baggie pants and I will not stop wearing then just because youngs want to dress like I dressed 30 years ago,and I still do it.

I still looking fucking great in 90s fits and people look at me as Im the coolest dude in the room. Sorry.

Look, I wear baggy kits too, but Koston does not dress even remotely well. He also has more money than the average skater to correct that shit.

[jums]

Koston's fits are awful.. no grown man should be wearing that shit.. and he doesn't have swagger. He looks like Steve Buscemi in that gif..

Bill Strobeck is another culprit. He looks like a drugged dropout from 1995.

Koston fits in Mouse are perfect. That is his best era in terms of style and kits. He could dress like the forever and stay fresh.

[leafman4000]

I agree with you, Kostons fits in mouse were/are pretty solid.

But now koston dresses like any other millennial who doesn’t skate who’s in a skateshop pestering employees about info on the new dunk drop

It’s not a good look

[camel filters]

TJ Rogers is who yall hype Durao up to be. And I say that as a big Durao fan

Yes, TJ Rogers is the third eye open, one foot enjoying, illegal trick magician, NY spot destroyer we all love.
