Breana Geering’s 50-50

Amongst the barrage of incredibly foul and misogynistic comments on the IG post, one girl skater left a sincere comment that I think should make anyone with half a brain understand why this clip was given a spotlight. Some washed up skatepark hero with a slap account that nobody gives a fuck about isn’t inspiring young girls to start or continue skating. Breana is. Most of you in this thread are fucking kooks on and off the board and it shows.

You know there’s kids that felt similar sentiments about Andy Schrock, right?

Goddamnit man. I don't usually agree with SNFL but he makes a really good point here - a real thread-ender. There comes a point where it's clear somebody is so dedicated to hatred within a discussion that further discourse is just a waste of time.

I think you may have reached that point.

It’s always amusing to me when other people try to tell me how I feel.

Anyways, now that doctor arrived we can all pack up our shit and shut the conversation down! One girl on Instagram is inspired by poor skateboarding, mission accomplished Mr. Burnett!

The point that you’re missing is that there are A LOT of great stylish female skaters out there that provide a lot to be inspired by. We don’t have to pretend this is equal to that.

[Superblades]

The level of skating should be held to the same standards regardless of gender.

 A squat butt 5050 should never be filmed . Hold her to a higher standard

[Magnolia]

I'm starting to suspect that some users on this useless wooden toy site are maladjusted misogynists

Raw talent isn't the only (or even most important) aspect of a skater that can inspire people. That's like one of the main things about skating that makes it cooler than other sports, the hard stats don't really matter that much.
Most of my favorite skaters are not considered to be objectively the most talented or stylish.
For some people, they might see themselves more in Brianna than Momiji and that's okay, it's more than okay, it's the only thing that matters.

This is true, and one of few very good opposing points brought up ITT. Not even sure I’d call it opposing as I happen to agree with what you’re saying.

However, as I keep saying, and I’ve repeated multiple times now is that it’s not about Breana herself. It’s about a kook trick getting a kook pass, and my main grievance is with actual Slap posters continually being full of shit and fake.

No it shouldn't

[Garfiled L. Asagna LLC]

Elissa really is the goat of women's skateboarding.

Obviously back 50 always gonna look better but look how comfortable she is surfing that shit.

[crescentfresh]

it's always touching when you fun-hating incels find each other, but maybe y'all should start a discord where you can endlessly rank women skaters instead of posting this embarrassing shit on a very public board

“A man can’t judge art created by a woman, because that’s sexist”

Think on this for a moment.

If anything, being able to separate gender from the art and apply baseline standards is actually based AF.

[pizzafliptofakie]

I think there's a difference between not liking a woman's clip and writing multi-paragraph schitzo ramblings about it and then spending three days trying to convince people that you're normal.

[Hastings]

Reminds me of Andrew Reynolds FS flips.

I’m writing those paragraphs about YOU guys, my guy. I’m writing about how scared everyone is of being honest with themselves. It’s funny to watch a bunch of frightened feeble adults skirt around a topic and walk on eggshells.

It’s funny and entertaining to me how predictable most posters are here. You being one of the biggest offenders! You’re constantly trying to cool guy around here, and it’s funny watching you squirm by pointing out that you’re an inferior npc manlet.

[Teethcanbesexy]

There’s so much skate content out there so who cares, weird how people get stuck on it.  If I don’t like some clip there’s always the next clip.

Also, the life of a pro is shit so if you don’t like a clip you can get your mental revenge by telling yourself at least my life isn’t shit! As you sit around your hoarders nest

Yo dingleberries, maybe her arms are up like that because of those three metal pipes that are right next to the ledge midway through. Y'all oversaturated with Hatorade.

[close]

they aren't anywhere close to her?? if anything the pose she's doing is putting her head and arms closer than they need to be to the poles, but still no where near them

[close]

Are we looking at the same picture? Can you even perform a 50/50 grind, you sad, sad creature? When your arms are balancing for a 50/50 do you think they are held out perfectly parallel to your torso?  Her arms are up high because she doesn't want to clip the 3 pipes with her hands. She's definitely close enough for that to happen.


Quoting the inimitable Shakira:

Oh, baby, when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)
Reading the signs of my body (uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie (no fighting)
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see, baby, this is perfection?

Look at slide 2

She couldn't touch the poles from there if she wanted to

[BALARGUE]

Ok I had no clue who these skaters are, what's wrong with Cata Diaz, I just checked out her Instagram and she's actually pretty good and true flipping sets

you're right and she rips (with a limited bag of tricks though) but I just don't like the way she pushes

[Audrey II]

after seeing the word manlet here multiple times i had to google it. now im more interested in the logistics of a manlette. is it just a regular omlette with some semen added, or is there like no egg and its just pretty much just semen and whatever else you wanna throw in?

the later potentially seems pretty time consuming and tiring.

[D10S]

I struggle to stay on long front 50-50s on a ledge, esp when it's mega-waxed. Back 50-50s are easier to stand on.

I stand with Bre and she can 50-50 any effing way she wants.

Can you imagine if this had been Beatrice?

It doesn't make you a misogynist if you stop there and don't make a bigger deal about it, but weirdos gotta make it this big commentary on women's skateboarding as a whole.
Look at the talent range of sponsored and pro male skaters, there are countless very popular pro skaters who aren't even in the same galaxy talent-wise as guys like Ishod, Yuto, Jah, Foy, Thiago, etc but nobody says "why are we celebrating this sub-par male skating when there are so many more talented male skaters out there?!"
In fact, I'd say most "core" skaters have a tendency to prefer the gritty, working class male pros over the Olympic superstars who land wild flip-in/flip-out tricks on handrails with 100% consistency.
But I guess that's different for some reason?

[WashingtonNECKTIE]

This is still going on after 8 pages?

80% of the time, front 50s are intrinsically stanky

[Magnolia]

Because none of you braindead freaks would complain about a man doing an ugly trick for 8 pages

It's so disproportionate to the actual trick and ppl are just using it as an excuse to talk shit on women
