i don't like him anymore.
puelo's skating has always been enjoyable for me, and he speaks the truth on a few things. but this nigga plays like a broken record;
he's like an annoying housewife
PUELO CAN U PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP
i dont like him anymore
The fact that he plays like a broken record is a good thing; at least he remains consistent with what he believes. I'm a fan of puleo, and I disagree with some of what he says, but that's the point of an interview. It's his opinion and perspective, not yours or mine. You already know what you're getting into when you read the thread title Puleo interview; it's a given that he's critical of everything. If you don't want to hear his continued grievances, then you wouldn't read the interview.
the fact that he plays like a broken record just shows theres absolutely no growth or any realistic perspective about how skateboarding really is in 2011.
like i said earlier, ive always enjoyed the man's skateboarding, but he needs to quit it with his gimmick. he acts like he's enitierly opposed to the corporate brands involvment in skateboarding, yet he only declidned to ride for a timberland owned ipath because they wouldnt pay him more. this is understandable, niggas have to pay bills, but he cant front like he wouldnt have stayed if they offered him a better contract.
and the whole critisism of wallies and switch backtailslides is fucking stupid. sorry bobby, not everyone adheres to a hermit lifestyle, some skaters are in search for
progression. maybe we should all skate like pops and puelo....but pops is on converse so he's corny; oh and dont mention the skateboarding aesthetic of austyn is gay too.
in all honesty, puelo is just one of those washed up skaters that have a difficult time resurfacing and finding relevancy- so he ends up pursuing art. he's no different from anyone else.
i feel like if i met him at the club id smack him for talkin so much bullshit.
