UK and Europe footage. Sorry. I've been over a few times and all of the trips were bad experiences with Barcelona being the worst trip I've ever been on, so I hate to see footage from there. UK footage is especially grey and crusty. I'm actually commenting in here instead of the Tom Knox thread because I don't want to bring any negativity in there, but I couldn't even sit through that part. I turned it off after 3 minutes, then went back and tried again, and still turned it off after about another minute. This skating just does not appeal to me at all, and a huge part of that is the locale. It looks gross - not like anywhere I'd ever want to go. So it doesn't get me hyped because I don't want images of dreary ass England in my head.
Anyway, rant over. NB# shoes look like garbage too so that wasn't helping the part.
hahahaha, you really do just come off as a bitter old dickhead in all your posts. 40 year old who interned at the berrics, who hates most new things, and wears gum soled etnies.
god if i'm anywhere near as bitter as you posting on the internet in my 40's, i'd give permission to anyone to off me.
You read the title of the thread, right?
It's Slap, chill out. Jesus. You act as if a passing comment is my permanent mind state.
Interning at TheSkateboardMag was an amazing experience, but I'm sure it makes you feel better to be safe in the Slap groupthink that is to bash all things Berrics affiliated. Have fun with that. All I did was skate an amazing park whenever I wanted, contribute to a magazine, and make some great connections. Musta sucked, huh?
I definitely am more of a nostalgic person, but I don't "hate most new things". Still, I'm sure it makes you feel better about yourself to make a huge generalization about someone you don't know, so I get it.
I'll love gum sole shoes til' I die, it's just a classic look. Great burn. Guess I'm supposed to be a mindless trend hopper who wears Nike, Adidas, Cons or NB# like everyone else. God forbid I wear shoes I genuinely like.
I'm having a blast skating, my friend, and I've even carved out a work schedule that works better than anything has in the past for me. Been doing lots of creative projects to fill the time - really, I'm doing great. I even watched the rest of that Tom Knox part and saw a few shots with sun! Dude is too good. Not really my style but he's gonna go down as a legend for sure.
Edit: also should mention Sour is basically my favorite shit, and they're based out of Barcelona, so I make exceptions.
Lighten up sweetie - it's Friday!
