you think enough time has passed since the mikey crashout that casual fans don't remember?

[close]

There were fans?

[close]

They were weirdly popular, I met a 21 year old girl on a flight from London once who was super hyped on illegal civ but knew nothing of skating otherwise , I assumed that was probably the case for a lot of people her age.

But that’s gotta be like Odd Future periphery shit, right?   Like buying a Wu-Disciples or Killarmy cd

You'd be surprised by what Nico Hiraga fangirls are willing to sit through. When it comes people who do skate though, Godspeed is for some reason by far the most popular full length video for skaters under 20 and it's not even close. Shit's the 4th highest rated skate video of all time on Letterboxd

That's a solid top 10. Godspeed is wildly out of place being in there, swap it for Sorry now we're talkin.

Also swap pretty sweet for Todd Falcon's skayeboarding revelations - journey to the final level but that's just me

I have a Falcon Squad tattoo! Me and like 30 people around the punk scene here all have one. Todd was stoked.

This was like 2022 so nah but I get what you’re saying. I think super early on maybe there was a lot of overlap but by the time Godspeed dropped I feel like most of that overlap were people in their late 20s so they had a pretty solid younger demographic . But also it’s kinda skewed cause if you lived on the westside of LA from 2016-2020 you really couldn’t go anywhere around stoner and courthouse area without seeing one of those illegal civ / mid90s kids.

Gotcha,  I lived in Hollywood in the shadow of the In N Out Carroll worked at in the opening of Mouse

edit: not to age shaming. just you’d imagine a better and mature rebranding

[Lou Strux]

Killarmy was dope

[Mallie]

I used to be partial to 9th Prince, but listening to it 20 years after...yeah, nah. Cold Wind and Camo Children still do be hittin hard, tho.

[CHONGO]

 People give a shit about these guys?

[skinnyankles]

This company is so awful. Please let it fade.

[Shortys Hardware]

IC was pretty big around 2014ish cherry era...IC2 was a massive video for the kids at that time too. Never been my thing personally, but Mikey was doing a lot and being super productive and had a variety of different projects and was building something before that ego got in the way

I'm not far away. Right by the bump-to-ledge that Dylan 5050ed in his Gravis part.

The real question is, are they going to bring back the triangle? It's the most powerful shape.
