Someone’s going to get sacked so badly at the Olympic they will need an ambulance.

This injury will spawn the creation of a skating underwear brand with a built in cup and swamp ass and skid mark resistant mesh comprised of crosslocked nanofiber technology.

This underwear brand will be called Taint Saint and will become publicly traded within 90 days of initial launch and have a 5 minute ad spot on every episode of the 9 club.

The success will be followed with additional versions called the Crotch Guard specifically designed for women, trans, gender fluid and non binary folks of course.

The spokesperson will be &&

i dunno why but this reminded me of a restaurant i drove by this weekend that was called Mrs Gooch's cafe

also can't help but think of this video as well:

I 100% remember there used to be ads in the back of Transworld for underwear designed for skateboarding. It didn't have the cup, but it touted breathable fabric and reinforced bottoms so that they wouldn't rip under friction or when the wearer does a split.

[elbarto]

The motor bike Ali and Shane were on at the time of the accident was purposely sabatoged.

This is wack.

[slop]

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

I KNEW IT!

Skateline was made to be a personification of the banter on the Slap Message Boards so Ride Channel/Thrasher can profit off of the online discourse around skateboarding.

Considering 90% of the jokes on skateline are directly stolen from jokes on here this checks out.

I'm surprised thrasher hasn't started a podcast focused on rehashing conversation topics on #skatetwitter

Big skateboard is intentionally avoiding true symmetrical deck shapes so they don't last twice as long.

[Grip Jobs]

After prices of skate goods inflate a little more.
Big skateboard (dwindle, nhs, dlxsf) will sell pro completes direct to consumer with the best quality parts.
They will cost noticeably less than any other board you can build so you’d be stupid not to buy.
Weeds out the small brands.
But the parts will be made in China and only last about a month so you’ll just be buying a new complete every month.

[Blueabyssofthisss]

Microwaving your shoes makes them blow out twice as fast. Pros promote this so you have to buy shoes more often.

Major skate video music supervision is less about finding new/obscure/lesser known songs and more about avoiding DMCA issues/having to pay too much for rights to a song.

Has it always been true that they sort out music rights?   I don’t think someone was ever hired just to find good jams

It’s only true for the internet age where everyone is uploading their shit to iTunes/ Instagram/ YouTube/ etc where the big three labels who own everything can readily strike projects down if they haven’t paid for the rights. The responsibility of securing the rights goes to whoever’s tasked with editing the project, which is oftentimes the filmer too. Back in the VHS/ early DVD days no one gave a shit about paying money for rights, bc what was the likelihood of a big mainstream label coming across a skate video in the 90’s?

And I don’t think it was an issue when it was 90% punk bands that were happy for the exposure back then. Skate video music isn’t always some obscure band nobody in the Midwest ever heard of before anymore. I don’t even know if there’s such a thing as obscure music anymore. And if you were a big band back then, you were actually making money selling records so a video that would sell a few thousand copies at minimal profit probably wasn’t worth the effort to go after. Music clearance probably wasn’t an issue until hip hop became standard fare. Those major labels with no link to skateboarding were going to make sure they got paid.
