XIII posted:The "round and round we go" filming style annoyed me. I just want to watch RM do a bunch of insanely technical tricks. Yeah, I thought the format got in the way. It's very cool, but should have been toned way down. This is more about the filming/post processing technique than the skateboarding.

UFOTofuTacoCat posted:It would be interesting if you could elaborate on that if you feel like it. I don't think he's talking about a skateboard ramp, but the the shape of the geometry the board makes when it's like that. It's messy, for sure, and could also just be the writer who's messing it up.

I'm astonished that he's the first pro to come out and that it's seemingly a big deal. Is skateboarding really that homophobic?.

Hmm, maybe it's just the group that I grew up with that was more inclusive/progressive.

It's ok. I bought a BMX (again) this year:). It's both easier and harder. You'll fall less, but you'll fall harder.

Intel&Sebastian posted:In other news I made my wife watch a few mins of the Thrasher vid about Jaws attacking the Lyon 25 for a few days and it was finally enough to get her to say holy poo poo to some skateboarding. While I'm impressed with his ability to absorb hits, I actually think it's mostly stupid. Bigger isn't always better, at least not with the price he's paying for it.

UFOTofuTacoCat posted:"Been skating since before it was legal for me to drop in on your mom bro" is what I would have said to any young hecklers. When I picked up a second hand BMX last year, the guy looked at me and said, "So, errhh...do you ride??!?". It's kinda cool to go to the skatepark in the morning before the hangovers clear out and the 'kids' (and scooter kids arrive) and there'll usually be a small group of older guys riding/skating.

Intel&Sebastian posted:I think it was stacy p's bones doc where they talked about Tony Hawk becoming crust punk enemy #1 because he kept winning competitions as a really young kid looking like his mom dressed him and killing runs where he didnt look in danger of missing a trick at any point He had zero style...and yeah, was way to clean. It took him a long time to develop a style and I'm still not sure that it wasn't just because he was the only constant in vert skating and we just got used to it. But..you watch any of the masters bowl comps and compare Hawk to McGill, Cab or even Lance and he's still nowhere near.

That Nyjah vid I'm not a fan of his style, but man, can he ride rails. OTOH, that's about all he does for about 11mins, apart from some slow mo drone/steady cam shots of him on the ground. He's cleaned up his style a lot as well and isn't flailing around anywhere near as much after he lands tricks...I still kinda hate him, though

Intel&Sebastian posted:lmfao that Jaws manual into the pool is such a huge no thanks. Like "what's a completely un-needed trick I could do into this giant drop that will definitely rob me of the speed needed to survive it......wait, I know!" I don't understand why he keeps doing it. I have a hard time not looking at it as a gimmick and his skating is more than good enough not to need it.

Grade 3 quad strain will have you in very high discomfort and unable to walk without crutches. If you can walk, it's not that bad. Give it a week, ice it a couple of times a day and pop some ibuprofen and you'll be back in a week.

I mostly BMX these days, so.. Wade Morgan got robbed in BMX big air. Mostly watched the BMX vert and big air. Dirt course had little resemblance of a real dirt track.

Spaced God posted:Backflip in, nothing bikeflip, front flair is objectively the best run to happen in that comp don't @ me Double tailwhip in, 360 tuck-no-hander backflip and then a double-one hander tailwhip + highest trick of the day?....and way more style too. Especially as the Jam Format was supposed to be on overall impression. But at least they ignored Vince Byrons OTT celebration.

Zigmidge posted:In my experience they tend to have way more respect for lines (skating and queuing) than scooters and inliners who I've personally never seen 'get it'. I usually go early in the weekends (before noon) and it's usually just older dudes, getting in a session before all the kids turn up.

Yeah, riding a spot last year and a guy comes storming out and looks like he's about to kick us out until he realizes we're older than him...he awkwardly tries to make a joke about 'us being too old for that' and slinks back inside...
