The Slap Message Boards and the Trial of Jamie Thomas

[Prison Wallet]

What ever happened to Wade Burkitt and Aaron Harrison? We're asking every other question twice, why not this one?

And Scotty Coppleman too while you're at it.

[steezus_christ]

You know who's ruining the skateboard industry? Skateboarders are.

[bobjohn]

More importantly, what ever happened to colored wheels? I didn't think they even made colored wheels anymore except for CCS.

And low and behold I open up a box today and theres some green ass wheels in there.

I'm bring that and colored griptape back with a venegence.

It looks like Spitfire is offering more colored wheels. Strange that they're hyping up a catalogue release.

would you roll to a spot with your favorite pro if he invited you but he was riding colored wheels?
what if the gonz was rolling in rainbow colored wheels, would you lose all respect for him? 
you're weird dude.

Oh yes please Mr. Favorite Pro! Invite me to the spot! I'll do anything! Dude, pros are people. Some are cool, some aren't. If your question is whether or not I would want to go skating with a pro who is super lame, the answer is no. I have skated with pros, and have come to realize that they are people. Some are cool guys, some are not.
I don't judge that harshly on wheels in reality, but if some pro offered me the chance to skate with him and he sucked as a person, I wouldn't suddenly like him because he was pro.
My point is, whether you are Gonz, or some kid who got suckered to buy some slow moving product at the skateshop, colored wheels are ugly and stupid.

no one said anything about a pro being cool or not, my question was if your favorite pro(we'll just say hes cool) invited you to skate but had colored wheels, would you roll or bail?   

i was comtemplating throwing on these blue hubbas and busting out some heelflips but not if it means the gipper won't skate with me.   

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

If my favorite pro does something lame, it isn't suddenly cool because he did it. If I got along with him already, I might go, but I'd clown the shit out of him. Don't be such a hero worshipper.

[MexicanSpaniard]

Do white wheels that have turned yellow count as colored wheels?

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

nope, just old.

as far as i know, you dislike the following....
self cheering, sheckler, religion, heelfips, colored grip/wheels and hero worshipping....please feel free to add more.

i really want to combined everything you don't like and see if i can still be cool.  i'm getting a sheckler deck, draw a big old cross on my colored griptape, with matching colored wheels, i'm gonna self cheer and pump my fist in the air right after i land about a dozen or so mobbed heelflips, then go to my gonz shire, kneel before it, and claim my alleigence to all things gonz.











don't take me seriously, i'm messin with you. 

[MexicanSpaniard]

nope, just old.

I thought about that and realized I may have gotten them last year!

[eat.shit]

I'm gonna set the colored wheels up strictly for the people that claim everyone that rides colored wheels is wack.



I was reading a magazine last night and Silas Baxter-Neal had like a 10 page interview. And in it he was doing this exact trick.
This guy did it along time ago. AND he rides colored wheels AND colored griptape. So, just because someone rides some wacked out shit doesn't mean they suck or are morons.

[grimcity]

I like colored wheels, depending on the wheel. Anyone remember ice blue OJII Teamriders? So good.

I tend to mostly skate white wheels (Streetburners or STFs), but I have a softsport for not only colored wheels, but swirly ones as well.

[eat.shit]

WOAH WOAH WOAH Grim. Lets not get to over zealous. Swirly ones?! Thats hate worthy.

[jrock]

once in a blue moon i get a hankerin' to rock some colored wheels.  its one of my guilty pleasures (but i'm usually over 'em by my second or third session with them)

[grimcity]

WOAH WOAH WOAH Grim. Lets not get to over zealous. Swirly ones?! Thats hate worthy.

I can't help it, dammit! I like pretty colors!
I dress pretty neutrally (earth tones and plain shit for the most part) but I like to rock colors on gear sometimes. Using diabolik's term, it's a guilty pleasure.

Oh, if only they made Streetburners or STFs in red...

I don't mind self-cheering actually, and you missed the object of most of my hatred: Ronald Reagan. But you got the rest of my list pretty well. BUT, look at that description of a dude that you would assume I hate, your telling me that dude doesn't suck, at least a little?

[bbk]

 if ryan sheckler was really really reaaly evangelical christian, only did heelflips, had hot pink wheels and some radicool grip and worshipped ronald reagan, he'd probably be my hero...

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

All you did was kind of steal Faster!'s joke, but make it weaker. You are clever!

[Prison Wallet]

Autobahn's had some pretty cool colored wheels I must say. I've fallen victim.

[GIRL Workshop B]

No, I was just kinda replying to this...

[ProjectPatrick]

Gipper, it must suck ass to skate with you. I wouldn't want to skate with someone who doesn't know how to relax and is instead constantly looking for things to judge me on. I doubt that you would actually deny skating with someone based solely on disliking their gear but if you did, get off yer high horse.

[dudebro]

Almost every thread on this board morphs into something so far away from the title its ridiculous.

So... I will continue with that trend. I rode a set of orange Spitfires in maybe 1997 just because Ed Templeton used to rock them occasionally on his setups.

[GIRL Workshop B]

i see alot of the more gangster kids skating pink wheels. dope as fuck but i couldn't see myself skating with pink wheels
