Decks have always been about the same price, right? Until recently.....

[close]

I'm amazed that boards haven't dramatically increased over the past 2 decades. If boards went along with inflation the same board that cost $40 in 2000 should cost $58.36 in today's dollars.

i mean, that's actually accurate...

shop used to have deluxe boards with grip for $45...
 
now they're $53-58 + $5 for grip...

The bigger/richer companies involved in skateboarding are leading the push away from physical releases of videos because they can afford to pay for the rights to good music which physical media were a way of circumventing.

Can Daewon not really skate rails or is he just lazy?.

[close]

You cant manual a rail.

Lol but seriously, his Round 3 part has a bunch of clips of him skating an exceptionally dangerous rail from the top of one semi truck to the other.

[close]

He did a 180 nosegrind on a rail in a random clip. Maybe a Danny Minnick clip? I can't recall. It was in his jheri curl days haha.

[close]

Are you thinking of the one he does in the credits of Skate More?

[close]

Could be! I barely even recall watching the credits of Skate More...

[close]

Tell me this if Tiago had the tech of Daewon and brought it to a ledge it'd be sick as fuck.

sorry, what?

Companies pushed wider decks because it makes skating easier, thus little kids improve faster and buy more product.

Notice how other trends like baggy pants, puffy shoes have come back around but no ones out there filming their part on a 7.63 anymore, now are they?

This isn't a conspiracy so much as an observation.

I dunno dude, there is a growing number of people chasing those 7.75s

[cosmicgypsies]

big truck co are in cohorts with big wheel co to make their axles as shitty as possible whilst increasing wheel prices so you can't replace one without the other

CBD works.

I swear it helps with chronic inflammation lol.

Besides, we all know skateboarding was created as a concerted marketing initiative by big tobacco and big pharma to drum up more customers, in the short and long-term, respectively.

Companies pushed football or egg-shaped decks during the early '90s in order to subliminally stimulate reproduction. As skateboarding died out, they wanted a new crop of offspring to ensure a healthy future market. The first stage was sexually explicit graphics such as the World Randy Colvin, which got young skaters horny, but they needed to implant the desire to reproduce, hence, the egg-shape with its subtle reference to the embryo. All of this culminated with the famous Kalis line at Love Park where he steps off the board and pushes a stroller.

Notice how other trends like family instagram accounts and Volvo SUVs have come back around but no one's out there filming on egg shapes, now are they? This isn't an observation so much as a conspiracy.

Many skateboarders do not know the definition of the word 'conspiracy'.

Big shoelace is a majority share holder in all major shoe brands and does everything in their power to make slip ons less desirable.

Big shoe lace knows their product is sub par and continues to crush any competition.

Big shoelace is also responsible for the quick death of frictionless grip tape.

I’ve said too much.

Some heavy hitters behind the scenes in big skateboarding have conspired together to protect skateboarding from the evil Olympic machine. These conspirators joined forces with the deep state and released a man-made strain of corona virus out of Wuhan, China. This virus we now know as COVID-19 has cause a pandemic across the whole world solely to cancel the Olympic Games and save skateboarding from its evil.

Ed Templeton is the skateboarding equivalent of Ian Mackaye.

Some notable filmers and photographers really enjoy having teenage boys come over to their house and take photos of them with their shirts off.

I did a lil' google. I see the darkthrone x creature boards, but what do you mean? what song? what did they do?

He gets *incredibly* sensitive whenever anyone suggests that some of the thousands of photos of scantily clad teenage girls he posts on his Instagram could maybe be seen as being in bad taste

Would anyone here be surprised if we found out that Ed and Deanna were swingers/poly/what the fuck ever?

not me

[RENTSTRIKE]

I think there was a blog post/piece of short fiction from Second Hand Embarrassment (http://secondhandembarrassment.blogspot.com/) about Deanna taking young skaters virginity and Ed being into it, which always led me to believe that there was an open secret in the industry about them having some kind of swinger/poly/hotwife type arrangement.

I could be wrong, and I'm too lazy to look for the story now, but it might be worth searching the blog for the post if you're yearning for that kind of intimate knowledge about what goes down in the Templeton household. Cute couple regardless.
