The black swan reference just basically made me think PJ went insane, had lesbian sex with Mila Kunis, and then wasn't satisfied with anything he produced no matter how good it was.
I want to see a new Colin part. He's always been one of the most interesting vert skaters. Like a tech ledge skater on transition. I don't think he was claiming the backside flip as hard as the headline claimed, he does say he doesn't want to speak for him, but seemed more confident he could and that he wanted to.
The lamest thing ever is when pros claim having a family makes it harder to do their job. Motherfucker, its your job, and now you got kids to feed. In no other version of reality do people have kids and decide that its a good time to start working less hard at their job when they are the family bread winner. No other version of reality. Less time for friends? Of course. No more going out partying? Given. Stop showing up at work? Are you fucking kidding me? Why the fuck would you do that?!
Homer gets it.
Oh, and fuck that drewday kid. I'm kooking whoever linked me to a video where I had to look at his face.
as been quoted before and
Excuses for not filming a part despite having 10 years,
and also
Gip hit the nail on the head. When Colin said "you can't skate for 8 hours a day when you have kids" I just thought about all my colleagues who have kids and work 10-12 hour days.
I know they have to give their input into the brands, but c'mon, I doubt either one is managing any major aspect of any brand to where they are needed on a daily basis. If anything it is a 'want' and not a 'need' to get involved.
I think Colin understimates the value of his footage. I never fast forward a Colin part - he has always been my favorite vert skater.
The video would be so much more enjoyable if you just peppered the legends throughout. Those whose footage is less about being groundbreaking, and more about getting to appreciate the work of people you grew up watching. This is what was lacking from True. Whatever Danny and Colin produce may be better in their own eyes, but it will be less archived and less a part of our history.
As to PJ, that Black Swan comparison is brutal. Guess we will never get the real story with that one.
I'm getting pissed just looking at this image
http://cs303105.vk.me/v303105782/59f6/c7d5heFKHpg.jpg. What the fuck is this?! Fucking
love that the 18 released a video without any drama, expectations, bs promotion, "pretty sweet got nothing on us", "we have the best skaters", big premiere, no anything. Simple road-vid on Thrasher. Just the crew out there getting it. And getting so much more inspiration out there for everyone to do it in a totally different way than what's almost always promoted in "skate media". So thankful for that. I mean look at their representation and compare it to Plan B's -
- at 0:13. I would
never buy a Plan B board, ever. I'd be ashamed to be seen with one. It's like co-assigning to every shitty thing that comes out of McKay's mouth during this interview, the private jets, jock-shit, and an overall fucked up view of what to do in life from an enormously privileged position. It's like being proud of wiping the king's ass while he's killing all of your family.
