More people should copy Dylan Reider. If someone wants to make copy his shoe, let them do it.

Dakota severefold and Leo romeo already tried and it was grose
Edit* tho I do tink the youth need to be brave enough to stand out for there own like he did


There's definitely Dylan clones but Romero has been super consistent in his style and tricks since forever. He got SOTY in 2010 doing the same shit he does now. I haven't followed Servold as closely, but I'm going to have to disagree with the Romero slander.


I should posy my own unpopular opinion...cast iron waffle makers seem like a good idea but they are ultimately too labor intensive to justify regular usage. I mean pancakes are so easy and it's so close to being the same thing.

I’m starting to hate Belgian waffles. It’s so fucking hard to find a non Belgian waffle maker. I just wants thin crispy waffle.

Also just reminded me about how many people still like Vincent Milou? Feels like everyone forgot when he tried defending Jarne Verbruggen for trying to get nudes from a 16 year old.
Maybe it never caught traction I remember he deleted his comment pretty quickly but I’ve disliked him since & seems like even on here he’s well liked
[close]

Aww man he did? wtf

Sadly hoss, it was something along the lines of “leave my friend alone this isn’t even a big deal, and I’m gonna stand by my friend no matter what!” It was super disappointing

I was trying to find a screenshot and had no luck but it’s somewhere out there
Ay I appreciate alot of the shit you be saying though, in general but especially against these incels n bigots on here

Any pro that is super into playing golf instantly gets kook status. The entire idea and culture of golf is the antithesis of skateboarding.

Any link between Anti Hero and the sports brands is an oxymoron.
Skateboarding and sport anything should die.
Sports have rules.

Silas Baxter-Neal is totally bland, no matter how gnarly you are good style is needed.
Ed Selego was bland too but he looked better.

I cant stand Atiba. I always get the impression that he forces his way too much into the videos to be in front of the camera.

Posting that in this thread is the Slap equivalent of Karma farming

People shit all over Gonz’ art here on a regular basis. Markovich’s work looks like what a video game developer would use for “street art” in 2005.

I'm no huge fan of Gonz's art. Not really my style. But at least he mixes it up and draws different things.
After reading your post I tried to visualize Markovich's art and all I could picture is that one face he's always drawing.
So I googled Chris Markovich art and...



Yeah it's pretty much just that one face over and over

This thread wouldn’t exist if there weren’t any rules in skateboarding

Also Silas is goated, he’s just not autistic like most skaters on his level.

All the way from crusty tents to the Supreme store. What is the point of the AH brand still. There is nothing countercultural to it anymore, it's an insult to its own legacy.  (And they ran an ad with war victim children)

I still like AH, a lot, but they are VERY different than they once were. You'd be blind (or willfully ignorant) to not recognize that. What judgment, if any, you place on that change is up to you to decide.

Baker does THE BEST IMO at keeping up with the current youth culture, while keeping the older crowd satisfied.

They got graphics for every generation


ALSO.
I use to fuck with Markovich art hard like 20 years ago, I still don't think it's bad, I have gotten bored with

It’s a struggle to find shoes that fit, so if nikes work for you, I can’t judge.

It’s a struggle to make any kind of a living in skateboarding. They seem to support their team. So if you ride for them, I can’t judge.

But we should all care about (and judge) the shitty, shitty way nike treats their workers.

They are big and powerful enough to change the way things are done.

Nike could pay adults a decent wage, with benefits, decent hours, and humane working conditions, and still be a profitable company.

They choose not to.





….and yeah, “unpopular opinion thread,” so sorry for the rant. Peace and I hope your toes aren’t scrunched.
