Sheckler got injured doing a face melter thing for ETN

[georgethecat]

Hearing him scream like that is hard to watch after fuckin up more than a few ankles in my lifetime.

I gotta flip phone and don't follow this stuff but what other 'face melters' have gone down with a dude where the outcome didn't happen?

Own a flip phone, skate like Wes Kremer. Sounds Good, doesn't work.

wow, I hate this. he was obviously scared out of his mind that it was going to be worse, and it could have been, realistically

that's a clip I'm going to avoid watching again

The worst was the live feed. After he went down, Chris Cole was basically tripping over his own tongue and mumble something about "we're going to see if he's ok" and then they just cut the feed. No proper closing to the broadcast or anything that would be indicative of something you paid to see; just some poor hosting and then cut to a black screen. It was almost like they'd never considered what to do in the face of a disaster to close out a show. Fuck etn.

So when someone gets broke off filming for a video part do you say fuck the board company for pressuring them?  Whats the difference?  The format in which the footage is released?

All of this shit is dangerous as fuck.  People don't always ride away, that's how it goes.  That's real fucking skateboarding we witnessed, which is exactly what they advertised.

ETN is cool.  They are trying to make different types of skate content while putting money in pro's pockets.  Why is that so wack?

[CrumblingInfrastructure]

That did look really painful.

Cole missed an opportunity to get paid there. He could have busted out a Kershaw knife, flashed it to the cameras, and then cut away Shecklers pants and socks to assess the damage. Shoulda woulda.

Danny was on that shit like a true professional. Helping sheckler with his fresh board pointed right at the cameras. I like how the cobra just pushed hella mellow towards his screaming teammate. Heavy family vibes.

Skateboarding has a shortage of different types of content? ..Sheckler has a shortage of money in his pockets?
What we witnessed is the complete fucking opposite of real skateboarding.

That bail was so gnarly. Look like one out of skate 3  but serious hope he’s able to recover

If you don't get it, explaining it ain't gonna help .

I remember Reynolds talking about the madness or whatever of skating huge shit. I could only imagine how this sort of contrived spectator sport element could compound it.

Fuck that clip. I can’t watch that type of injury, I’ve been through too much.

I find Weck funny a lot of the time but not sure how I feel about him making fun of dudes getting hurt.

Nah that was one of the funnier weck vids. Was it too soon or something? Pff. The slam wasn't even gross looking, not even live leak level.

ETN is the dumbest shit recently in skateboarding though, I hope they fail quickly.

[shark tits]

and he will go!

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

This was way fucking worse

[coreaf]

This was way fucking worse

remember that college basketball dude who snapped his shit straight through his leg? full blown exposed leg bone and they were showing the slow mo replays and shit. that one was the gnarliest.

ETN is DEFINITELY trying to profit off of it. Facebook and insta ads like "We're glad Sheckler is ok! Sign up for ETN and see what took him out!"

This shit killed me when I saw that hashtag, fucking etn's kook marketing team probably made damn sure they put that in there.

Not into the vibes of the whole thing.

Feels a bit whorish, and I don’t like the people involved. It isn’t my idea of skating, and to see someone get injured partaking makes it extra shitty.

[PincherBug]

Oh no.  I don't think this is going to help Shecks find a chill girl.

[Dad you're embarrassing me]

I assumed the red head who came in at the end was his chill girl.

So do you get upset when thrasher gets ad revenue off of their Hall of meat videos?

I know it's hypocritical but that's different that's people sending in footage of bails for projects they were already working on. This like stated before had the pressure of days of promotion and hype beforehand and filming live to boot. The whole thing was a setup for disaster.

You’d be hard pressed to find any possible comparison of which would be emotionally evocative for me in any fashion. If I don’t like something it doesn’t “upset” me, I simply state why I don’t like it, and I go on living my life as it doesn’t apply to me.

So to answer your question, no.

You’re really going to bat for this ETN shit. Prior to this thread I had zero inclination as to what it even is. Having somewhat a better idea, as a slightly more enlightened individual, I can state for certain that it does nothing for skating as a whole by existing.
