What is PSL Skateboarding

[Bread Harrity]

Or just make them all skate some obnoxious MXC type obstacles over a water hazard while wearing inflatable sumo suits.

we already have skate MXC

[Xen]

That whole thing was complete dogshit and I don't see how anyone who actually loves skateboarding could derive any pleasure from watching these dipshits in their Burger King employee shirts slide out at the bottom of P Rod's polished concrete skatepark steps. This made the Olympics look dynamic. Everything spontaneous and joyful about skateboarding was stripped by people who spend every weekend watching the NFL Sunday Ticket. It was truly awful.

And can someone please install a new personality in Gary Rogers? His Dave Chapelle chip has been overclocked for too long.

Tuned in to watch Joslin tear, but he wasn't there; would have been a good match with Zach.

Wasn't there a team conest done already? I swear it has been done (and at Prods too?)
Feels like Defense should have some (ugh) margin of error
They need to widen the landing area and give people some room to land
The 'baseball' style commentary (complete with some grandpa cardigan MF'r using his best baseball announcer voice was cringeworthy).
The shirts and matching stair lights was a bit much.
So odd, either people slid out or the they just stopped (no wheelbite) and got pitched...

Saraceno is a fucking beast.
Foy's impossible was wet af. You know how hard it is to travel while wrapping, shits no joke.
Watching pros get fucked over pop shuvs is always hilarious.
Gary...stuck in a timewarp of 1988, atleast he was muted/not heard most of the time in the broadcast.

[Ilya Oblomov]

I didn't see if there are any rules around banned tricks. Can they do grabs?

When Foy started in with one foots I was hoping he would do some BS like a pop shuv tail grab or one foot tail grab. Those were tight back in the 90s.

I put it on to give it a shot, it was pretty boring, very flat.  Kept it on for the background, and as it finished Mike Mo says something in that stupid pirate voice, like an ending tag.  And for those reasons, I will never tune into that SHIT again.

watched this hammered with like 20 people on a cabin trip. now i know what it feels like to be a sports fan. i wish clint and plunkett were allowed to be funny and roast people. the only one i caught was “just give it up already” on nyjahs backside flip.

Hahaha are you serious? I will never watch this thru to find out.

I think we, as a culture, need to move away from Gary Rogers. He’s been annoying the entire time, the gimmick ran its course after maybe the 5th episode of Skateline and he’s just been grating ever since.


I may be in the minority here, but I didn’t think it was that bad. Idk if the editing could be done a bit quicker so it’s not so much like Street League and make it more like the early seasons of BATB where there was less filler between tricks but then they’d have to get rid of the commentators. It’ll improve, it’s a fun concept.

[Mandatory Reload]

the format is dumb enough to begin with but hearing him talk about it at length elevates it to unprecedented levels of stupidity. "if you have low level talent it's not as interesting" wow your revolutionary idea is "put good skaters in the contest"? he should probably stop doing these media appearances because it's doing more harm than good lol there's nothing wrong with a game of skate down some stairs but acting like it's going to revolutionize contest skateboarding just feels like the latest in what's becoming a long list of Mike Mo grifts

cant wait to tune in on a saturday night to see my favorite team skate!
will they have cool names?
will there actually be bench players?
what are the weirdest tricks people could have semi-on lock? dolphin flips, cancel flips, fs flip one foot, lotti spins, 540 shuvs, 540s in general. bummer grabs, no complies, boneless etc. prolly don't fly.

[Candied cigarettes]

People acting like mikemo has good ideas is insane

Edit: not having a sponsor/consistent source of income before doing all that advertising seems foolish. He’s putting the cart before the horse. My bet is that this won’t make it past 2 matches

[Southernmost]

I didn’t think PSL was terrible, but I’m not gonna watch multiple games of hucking down the double set. Skate the ledge, hubba, flat rail or a variety for a single event. For Mike Mo to just disregard that completely he’s not really listening to what the audience wants to see. I’d say the exhibition was a little more boring than SLS so I’m not sure he’s gonna capture a bigger audience.

to be fair, it's not like he's spending money on advertising. They're probably really only paying for production, which is actually pretty decent.


I do think claiming that it doesn't work without high-level athletes, is a way to gatekeep weirdos, who can pressure flip themselves to the finals every time. It would make dork tricks valuable and professional skateboarding isn't ready for that to happen

the recap of 1 game is 9 mins

[A Not At All Naughty Chemist]

Quite liked it, although i did skip some stuff after the first round. Crazy how people can be so good.

Slomo choices were stupid. some beautiful crazy tricks didn't get a slomo but the next 3 or so bails did, come on son.

It has potential but i wonder how it can be some kind of successful. We'll see.

And as they said it is indeed fun to see those guy do things they don't normally do.

I think the biggest thing I got from this interview was mike mo saying he doesn't have a clue as to how he'll fund the next one. He's still trying to sell the concept, but admittedly doesn't have the concept fully fleshed out and is still taking suggestions on how to make it good. Seems a bit slapdash.

There's a rap battle league in my country that was kinda big 10+ years ago but has quit 3 times already, never having enough funds/support and just bad organisation in general. Their problem is that they try too hard to be "professional." I think it's some ego thing. Always wasting money on excessive camera gear, fancy lighting, promising money and such things. Instead of just having a go with friends and see where it goes like with YSL or dumbdata's thing.

I'm always baffled if i see shit like that. Like going in debt for fancy clothes

You made me spit out my coffee with this one

[nocomply900]

This brings to skateboarding some unpalatable/jock elements of football (American), baseball, golf, and, somehow, MMA. I found the  format challenging to follow and the announcing annoying. That being said, the skateboarding was very impressive, and I would probably watch it again with some level of regret.

I've seen that look on Zach's face on way too many people too many times. That shit screams "I can buy this entire place with my dad's credit card" it's scary.

Game of skate on some steps and Gary Rodgers is there screaming about skateboarding being racist towards him because he sucks. terrible. Only redeeming quality is they let Pine skate.
Rather watch a xgames vert contest if I’m gonna watch TV skating . Atleast they got kids trying kickflip 900s and spinning 1260s.

I gotta say, I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this

Great job Mike Mo and everybody (I am not Mike Mo)

I mean this as a compliment, I always that skateboard contests should be more boring-exciting like golf or baseball, and this really did it.

Hope they keep it going, I'll watch
