What is PSL Skateboarding

[whoismiked]

Who is the desk commentator along side Malto? His voice sounds familiar but I can't place him and I haven't seen them show the desk.
Just wondering

Edit: Figured it out; it's Clint Peterson

[FunnyBunny]

The combo of malto and Clint is pure nap inducing, which seems to be what mikemo is going for with this entire thing

Prolly already been said but it would be more entertaining if it wasn’t just stair set and rail, even a manual pad/ledge has more margin for error and tension.

Watching people fuck up on a manny trick constantly is not exciting and most people don’t have mannies like that to be consistent enough.

A ledge I can agree with but again if they’re trying to draw in non-skater eyes a ledge isn’t as exciting as hucking

Are you more of a Andrew Cannon/Gary Rogers kinda guy?

Gary may be a bit too far in the other direction. I’ll take a tim O’Conner/andrew cannon duo, that is a team with synergy!!

I love and hate it. I love that I can tune in when I want and feel like I didn’t miss much.

I dont really like how it’s been sportsified/gamified, however that doesn’t mean much because I definitely prefer watching street skateboarding. I also really don’t like Clint’s delivery. He’s honestly not bad per se, but the low, baseball announcer cadence talking about skateboarding thing isn’t for me.

In general, I think skateboarding could learn from the big sports commentators. It feels so forced/contrived and I’m tired of it being geared towards baby feeding the general public. There’s gotta be a more organic, fluid approach that doesn’t remind me of the force fed bullshit corporate/ fascist America that exists in nearly every aspect of life.

Yes, there is an option to mute but that takes away the sensory aspect, as well I won’t be alerted to when something happens.

I honestly like that it looks like the skaters are doing their best, but also keeping it fun, lighthearted. Maybe I’ll start doing my own commentary and stream on twitch.

[j....soy.....]

Can’t you just watch a gifted hater stream?

[TurdyBird]

I like the dude, but only pay for one patreon service and I've barely been listening to that. I don't currently have any streaming services for that reason as well. I was just being dramatic. It did feel jarring to listen to while watching skate tricks.

[Dj Paul]

Just noticed how chubby Ishod is on this contest.

[j....soy.....]

Don't tell me we have black Koston on our hands.....

[Plungerman]

he's def in his 'i can just wear cool clothes and be a model' era. was good to see him land stuff, def still got it but would be cool to see him go off cause he can if he wanted

been enjoying the season. pretty much watched em all live except one night when my girl was bummed and wanted to watch that show the studio. agree the forced spoon fed commentary is getting stale but for the most part it's pretty honest and ok. clint def slipping up a bit this last one, getting tongue tied a lil. would love a tim o and malto duo, think it would be really strong. we can lose the repetitive dumbass cliche terms like "wheelhouse" or whatever other robotic bs they keep saying

also would love to see a point penalty for every teammate that isn't wearing jersey. comes off as selfish diva shit. skateboarding is individual or whatever but they lookin like a damn asshole when the rest of the team has one on and whoever thinks they're too cool to put on the damn team shirt. if sponsor contacts obligate wearing logos, just wear a    patch

nonetheless it's a fun watch. really like that it doesn't rely on judges to score. i love that it's a simple game, i was fine when it didn't have the rails but don't mind the addition. really showcases how good these mfs really are. hope it catches on and we see more interesting teams next season

The problem with Malto/Other Guy is that they both play the straight man. We need a color commentating like O’Connor to add personality to it. Malto has it in him, you can hear things sometimes where he starts to add flavor but he keeps it to a minimum.

[Brotherly Shuvit]

I get the critiques of Clint Peterson’s delivery re: tone and context of the broadcast, but I think he's just too much of a revelation to put back in the box now.  He has a natural talent for sports broadcasting.  What a voice!  And I love how Stereo has become the team for commentator talent.  Clint, Chris Blake, and obviously Dune.

Tim O'Connor and Clint definitely had a better rapport.  Agree we need a bit more fun and they brought that balance and spontaneity.  Even if they weren't as informed without Malto's knowledge of the rules and statistics.  I know it won't happen but Malto should be like a sideline report / stats dude chiming in here and there with factoids, numbers and pushing you to place a bet, if they wanna be more transparent and double down on the gambling angle.

Also can someone say who Los Santos' coach is?  Can't believe that hasn't been detailed at some point in the past few weeks.  They seem familiar but I can't place it.

LOL: that's Phil Gustavson, pride of Brasil.

I cringe every time Malto and the other guy pronounce Agliardi's name as "Agilardi". Which is every fucking time. Sounds as dumb as pronouncing nuclear as "nucular".

How hard is it to be professional enough to respect the competitors with regards to getting theír names right?

[Love Parked]

The last game was a good watch, got exciting towards the end. I think Joslin's team might win the whole thing, they seem the most determined.

Lmao “everybody deserves the respect of having their name pronounced correctly”

His entire show centered around humiliating people over paternity tests.

[gringo_viejo]

With apologies to Mitch Hedberg…



What happened to The Dufrene???

those don't really correlate. The whole show scripted anyways but even if it wasn’t I think ud deserve the “humiliation” if u knocked someone up, denied it and then go on Maury willingly to hear the results infront of studio audience

[MrDuckey]

I think Mike Mo didn't realize the fatal flaw of this format: it gets harder to go on a streak as the game goes on since you can't repeat tricks. Unlike baseball where you're just repeating the same fundamentals. So the epic comeback is never gonna happen

And to add to that going first is a huge advantage because you can exhaust all the easy tricks

[gumsole]

Nyjah, the captain of the soldiers bailed on his team to attend a rave hahaha. Sinner better step up now.

[lamfordie]

Money must be getting tight cuz I don't see the crane operator today

Every team should be disqualified for Chris Cole hiding up on the deck near PRod’s team.

I noticed it too and audibly groaned in disgust

Again?? Of all the dumb and strange things Prod has done, this is the one that confuses me the most. It seems they only started hanging out / became friends only after all the stuff about James came out.

Even Jamie cut him off, after years of being friends, why befriend that guy now? Just makes me think Prod must be a shitty person.

Good point, I was wondering how long it was going to take before this stuff started to show itself. Also the longer these same guys are doing this same format, the better they are going to get at landing their go to tricks down this same set of stairs. So the problem will get worse before it gets better. Think about how quickly a game of skate devolves once everyone runs through everything. These 4th quarters may turn into flail fests, and its not going to be very exciting to watch once tricks start taking 8 tries to land.

That’s because the only thing Jamie is loyal to is the money. He probably looked at how much Chris Cole actually brought in vs how much bad press they were getting and opted to cut ties. Paul on the other hand, seems like he’s very non confrontational and doesn’t know how to kick him to the curb. OR Paul is toxically positive and a “Everybody makes mistakes, only God can judge” guy. Maybe both.

Back to the actual skating tho, I hate Roman and Christian (not Roman Christians). They just seem like pre-generated Skate 3 characters.

Also, they should include 1 Baker Maker exception per half to add a lil bit more strategy.
