trends in skateboarding you ARE tired off

[1978]

i really hate LED lights on anything but an Audi.

[finknoos]

this mustve been said allready - flatground tre flips in lines (repetedly, ill ususlly see at least 4 from 1 person per part)

kids using the word fail ALL THE TIME

special griptape, all of which claim to be the best

those tactics videos which are meant to be shoe reviews but actually its just some bloke showing you what it looks like and slapping the sole

threads about "so and so is on (insert brand here) just because they wernt wearing their original sponsor in a pic or something"

Reda bieng infront of the lens

i actually kind of like those doesnt mean i would buy shit on there though

[Goblinshark]

The word SWAG. All the fucking kids I skate with use it every other word. WHEN EVERYTHING IS SWAG NOTHING IS SWAG

This whole "Brixton, I work in my garage on my Schaaf style motorcycle when I'm not skating while wearing weird Brixton hats and rockin' a killer mustache and witty tattoos look." 

This shit has to stop.  I got an Active Catalog in the mail today (I'm 24 and still get 12-year-old mail) and I was checkin' it out while I was on the shitter.  They are trying so hard to accomplish this blue color working man Brixton look.  Since when was it cool to wear boots, black framed glasses, a flannel, some dumb slick back hair and a dumb fuckin' mustache!? 

Fuck I hate everything!

[close]

you would hate my neighborhood

[close]

And me.  I work on motorcycles and have tattoos.  I didn't know that many people did it aside from Schaaf though.

[close]

i think it's more of the v-neck, faux-cal greaser look that he's talking about. and they've moved on from flannels to dull blue/gray button ups and hitler youth hair stylings.

Yeah, you nailed it.  If motocycles are something that you are and have been into then I obviously have no problem, eveyone has their hobbies.  But so many people are just faking it and it drives me nuts.  That look is soo hot right now in So Cal.  fuckers!

claimers, no complys, fake style

how can you hate no complys? they're so fun

hating fun is the new hotness. you didn't hear? i bet he hates slappies and firecrackers, too.

[lamfordie]

Guys with that morrisey hair cut. Every other guy at the skatepark has that do. Really doesn't look good on anyone.

that hasn't hit over here yet.

[Skate Edge]

Is there a way to accomplish the Morrissey pompadour whilst still wearing the stupid beanie on the back of your head?  That would be a sweet twofer. 

[grimstone]

tranny skating being unpopular - no one down for bowl sessions
bopping beanies/snapbacks
hunched backs
the lords of dogtown imitators who go to the skatepark after boogyboarding and do two handed bertlemans everwhere
no one doing stylish bertlemans
no one doing footplants
no one doing handplants
people who write off tranny skaters
shake junt
not enough punk in skateboarding these days

[j....soy.....]

Too much wax......

[Justis]

Too much wax......

this and
i do footplants:)

[planman]

everybody wearing DGK I love hater shirts
Everybody having a buzzcut, it was fine when taylor and westgate had em, but now that Tershy, Trappasso, and Herman have em, I'm getting pissed
Nike SB and Nike 6.0 (Cons is fine)
doo doo tour

[Jack Klompis]

herman and trepasso have rocked that shit for a while (probably more than a few times throughout their lives), also, you sound like an idiot

[macgruber]

being in the closet. that shit is so gay

[VictoriousOG]

Are you seriously trying to call buzz cuts a trend? Next thing you know, its not cool to wear jeans when you skate.

[Doogie Howser Ph.D.]

Not being gay, thank god for Ryan Lay

[finknoos]

people taking it seriously

[the canadian suit]

most of the responses in this thread. not what was said, just that you hit "post" after the things you typed. I'm tired of that. Who cares about haircuts, pants, hats, etc.

Only thing I'm over is being the only one without headphones. Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room?

[myrrh]

Kids trying everything I do in an effort to one up me. Makes me think "fuck you" and just do harder stuff.

Thats probably not a trend though, but kids don't know whats acceptable and what just isn't.

[mattyc]

No shit. Headphone skating is kinda rude.  Not to mention if you're at the skatepark, you're not listening to what's going on around you if you have headphones on.

[Upgrayedd]

when the fuck did kids get lazy about doing 180's and they turn into 90 degree turn to pivots/ slides? its not like they can actually do a full 180, i think they believe it actually looks good. i have no goddamn idea.

[larry.]

mikey taylor, rob dyrdeck, tyler bledsoe on alien workshop. They pretty much fucked up the company because it should be known for dill and ave and not those "mainstream" dudes.

[Tuna]

dyrdeks been on alien since the beginning, he wasn't added as a way to draw in the younger crowds.


fuck you, bledsoe's sick and mikeys tight too. theres this cool thing called diversity, having all these guys you seem to dislike on alien add some other dimensions to the team and make it more interesting.

the correct term you are looking for is "upriver"

[phillipjayfry]

I'm pretty sure this has been said alot of times, but the one-foot catch, "no-grab benihana" flip tricks are one the biggest annoyances.
They look terrible, and kids would spend the whole day trying to perfect the front-foot catch fad.

Filipe is just taking this to another level by exerting no effort at all:

[landCow]

that second tre hurts my feelings 

way way back before benihana flips were popular a friend and i would take the piss and do benihana pop shuvs as extreme as we could. it was a little game we played. the aim was to do outdo the other and make it as ridiculous as possible. it was fun I wont lie, but i must stress it was part of a ridiculous little game. when we did proper pop shuvs they were just that, proper pop shuvits. now benihana flips and shuvs are serious business.

its the ultimate slap-enrager, a yo flip to closefeet

also my lot still do the exagerated shuv thing, only when we did it a few years ago people would laugh with us, now we get alot of "whoa awesome shuv man"
