Sebo Walker of Instagram

[sexualhelon]

I met Sebo a handful of times. Didn't really kick it with the guy but he seemed chill to me. I can see how he may not vibe with a lot of teams or vice versa. Him and Walker Ryan seemed like they were homies, both insanely talented, but never got fully supported in the skate industry. And, I mean, if you don't need Instagram for promoting yourself / a business / a product etc... then that shit sucks anyway.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Good for him

[rawbertson.]

For some reason I have an insanely hard time distinguishing walker ryan, Ryan lay, and sebo walker. Walker Ryan is the book guy switch bs 360 flip. Ryan Lay is on sci fi and does running and wears glasses sometimes. Sebo walker I honestly couldn’t tell you what he looks like or anything he’s done. I just wasn’t paying close attention to skating during when those guys were coming up, I was starting to check out for a while.

Wrong, I was Sebos TM at Stacks.

Sebo is one of the nicest, kindest guys in skateing. And thats the issue.

He's not a cool guy and he's not trying to be a cool guy.

He's so good that he's looking for new things to do on his skateboard and they often come out kinda wacky and he get's attacked for it.

Trust me on this. Many of your favorite pros have egos as fragile as a cheap wine glass. They are the issue, not Sebo.

Manderson defo gives NorCal fragile cool boy vibes. Which is understandable given he's made a career off of like three tricks . I bet he hates the fuck out of Diego Todd

3 tricks? you are tripping with that statement

Wtf you are talking about?

[CHONGO]

What am I missing here? Why does slap hate sebo?
I have only ever heard such good interactions with him.

[Underpressureflips]

I met sebo like a week after I moved to portland. Literally turned a corner and bumped into him. Told him I was a fan blah blah. He immediately invited me to come skate down the street with him. Had some sessions with him over the years. Nice guy. Very humble and complimentary. Skill wise he’s as good as ever, without question one of the best skaters in the world. He deserves better.

Is Ventura NorCal?

Most certainly is not.   North of LA and south of Santa Barbara which is basically the northern coastal point of Southern California before you get to the Central Coast region

[Sick Duck]

Ventura is just as so cal as anywhere else. Curren caples is from there for christ’s sake

[Elijah Chandler]

Ventura is just as so cal as anywhere else. Curren caples is from there for christ’s sake

anything above Santa Cruz is nor-cal anything below is so-cal, spoken as someone from San Diego County

[BodyChocolate]

Ventura county hate is so unjustified. Skated with all of em over the years and they are all extremely nice (except sector 8 Shane, guy put his hands on a few sub16 year old kids and the issues Moose has had over the years). The real shitheads live up the grade #fuckthousandoaks and everything south until you hit Brentwood

I’d argue it ends at Gaviota, right above SB. The furthest I’m willing to accept is giving SLO the socal pass if you dont count central coast as a thing

[fakie nollie]

It’s called ventucky for a reason. Curren, some of the limo people and the Andersons are more LA types than anything. Everything north of newbury might as well be kern county. Except Oxnard

of course the central coast is a thing. Is big sur so cal?

[TurdyBird]

I live on the Central Coast. Perhaps this comes from bias, since I was born and raised out here, but I grew up with the understanding the Central Coast is the dividing line between Northern and Southern California. In my opinion, anything north of SLO county (Valley doesn't count, though one could maybe say anything south of Bakersfield is Southern Cali) is Northern Cali, and SLO County included going south is Southern California.

To give some perspective, when I was a kid, my parent's would sometimes drive us down to LA to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, etc. Sometimes, when we'd go, my parents were able to get a "southern california" discount, with our county being the furthest north on the coast to qualify.

I love Manderson's skating, and have faint memory of enjoying some of his interviews. With that said, remember that all these guys are human beings. They have their faults, and putting them up on a petestal and thinking, "Oh this guy doesn't fuck with that dude, that dude must be the worst!" really discredits what the actual case is. Theres a lot more nuance to life than that.

Interesting perspective from someone who lives on the Central Coast. There are some towns in the Central Valley, like Sac, that are both in the Central Valley and in NorCal, but I think of the Central Coast as entirely distinct (i.e. no part of the Central Coast is part of NorCal or SoCal), but maybe you think of it differently? NorCal/socal lifer, driven around the state a ton. Central Coast region feels very intuitive to me and SLO feels very much in it. Big Sur isn’t NorCal so would also disagree with north of slo = NorCal. Monterey is a fairer argument to make, but also don’t agree with it.

[TurdyBird]

@UL8 Glad I checked this before going to bed!

Ooo! Someone who has more experience driving up and down the coast. I've done it, but maybe twice have I gone all the way up Northern California, though I've been down to San Diego plenty.

I really love the point you brought up about Sac, that is distinctly Central Valley, and in Norcal. I loved it so much that I pulled up ol Google Maps. Forgive my previous statements, I feel like I'm only able to communicate what feels like impulse right now.

Honestly, what you said about north of Monterey is more accurate. Which after seeing on Maps, triggered a memory of the last time I was in Monterey and feeling silly because I never considered it central coast till I visited and I think the aquarium was saying that so I couldn't really fight that notion.

In regards to your remark of Central Coast being distinct, I have to say thats well said. I'm suffering from some executive dysfuction right now. I wish I could articulate more on my understanding of what you said, but make sense when you look at a map. Also, makes me feel like a dumb small town hick, forgetting how big a stretch you could consider the central coast.

To give myself some credit, you haven't been able to drive through Big Sur North of Gorda for what? Ten years. I can easily picture SB being the end of the Central Coast, because you see the coast from the 101 a that point. I dont think of it North till I'm in Monterey.

[Kielwasser]

Never thought that my uninformed hyperbole on here would make me learn something. "Central Coast" is a term I firmly associated with Australia until now, had no idea that existed in Cali.

Also obviously Manderson has more than three tricks if you count the switch and barrier versions as their own instance

Deluxe doesn't have the privilege to be an enterprise made of 100% cool persons with 100% Kindness towards 100% Humans. Its like every Skateboarding scene which today look like most of companies you work as daily job. Once you don't click with one of the parole leader , the guy who's talking the most and who looks cool , you are the Outlaw , the rebel .Add the fact you like books and arts with the good education , Phelpers addicts would put you out . If Sebo was full tattoo , skating more bowls and pass out at every premiere , puking on 16 YO girls , he would have the full Krooked collab nowadays. PS/Him being father of 2 young kids , I get the IG and social media scroll.

Haha I've experienced the same thing when I've travelled or hyperfixated on other areas outside Cali and learned of other central coasts.

Bro, you realize Manderson is kind of a switch god.

This is a Spitfire part thats like three years old. Watch the first three tricks and without googling, tell me what stance you think he is.

I know you're just talking shit, but I will not stand at someone saying Mike Anderson has made his career off three tricks. I mean, Reynolds has basically made a career off one so...oh no guys I'm spiraling. What would make someone objectively better, being able to make a career off just one trick, or making a career off three tricks?

Theres a couple ways to spin that. Either way Cheers cunt...did I do that right?

I’m from ca and I had never heard of central coast until I watched tv in a Santa Barbara hotel room and I saw  those crossover local tv ads that would say it.   Side note: it’s fun to tell SB people they’re Central Coast.   They don’t like it


The times I’ve spent in CC near the beach, I found it far superior because it wasn’t overcrowded or over developed.   Hopefully that hasn’t changed

[Texas_Tone]

I love it when a thread turns into a which part of California are you from pissing contest, because believe me fellas you go anywhere else in this country you just from California, just like me, I can accept everyone and fight the good fight all I want, I’m still surrounded by conservative asshats

CCS was in SLO stands for Central Coast Skateshop...actually was a legit shop in 98 when i first found it
I lived in Pismo beach and SLO around 2001 for a few years, and went to SB almost every month.  The surf in pismo is kinda shit, but heard it has its good days...there were a bunch of beaches in the area so plenty of pickings if you surfed. Central Coast area of California is weird, you will find conservatives in lifted trucks with surfboards.

also yea lol at the California devolution discussions in threads

CennieCoast Bogan Cahnt!   I'm fully talking shit on Manderson, his skating just isn't for me because it feels too mich like everything about it should make me love it. Like it's too curated for my tastes almost. And just not very high impact for all the macho trucker hat bravado. It's missing the goofball sauce of an Andrew Allen or Aaron Loreth or the gnarly talent of a Hugo Boserupp or Mason Silva and the holy union of both that is Diego Todd. He's like the West Coast Dick Rizzo isn't he?
