Forgot I was quoting jems too, was just fried out listening to some dead haha
some of the people that actually like and listen to some of their long jams are actually chill, it just has a hype culture and some shitheads with it that act like they like the dead.
SchizoSkierDude I am so behind on skate culture rn as I just started getting into it again in the last month. It used to be cool to wear bright camo cargo pants and ride DGK and clear griptape when I was last with the skate trends 😂 and everyone was doing no complys
I’ve also literally only skated baker, DGK, crooked or cliche in my entire life so I wanna start getting a different brand every time I get a deck
CeleryPolar does have some fun shapes
Pretty those brands all use fairly different shapes. Cliche definitely used to use Dwindle wood(and went out of business). Baker, DGK and Krooked are all BBS but the shapes are pretty different. With decks as long as they aren't totally out of whack wheelbase/width wise just get whatever brand you want to support and you'll adjust pretty quickly IMO. Polar does have some fun shapes (also BBS wood), I really like the wheel well deck for street/cruisers because you can turn a bit deeper and still do a few stunts, but I wouldn't risk them for a full street setup personally.
I'm a bit out of the loop these days (AKA old) but Yardsale are doing some cool stuff in the UK. I've always been a Magenta fan and seemingly every 'pro' is starting a brand at the moment.
Also, maybe I just don't value my life enough right now but I reeaallllyy want a hardshell kayak and have someone wanting to sell theirs. Might be time to become a beater boater.
Also if you ride shake junt grip the “shake” part of the logo is like a perfect guideline for kick flips. Not sure if it was meant to be like that but I just discovered it today
PacificRimJobIts an extra day off work for everyone.
but ultimately it's throwing a nickel into a bucket and hoping it's enough to appease American black communities who feel wronged and oppressed - justifiably so.
They tried to do the same with MLK day and black history month. Didn't work. Gonna need to do better than that.
i worked yesterday and have never heard of it until this year

is anyone is up at whistler rn marinating hit me up....... look I never stay an airbnb but I did and this fucking place wants $2599 in damages!!!!!!!! straight up, I left the place utterly spotless and I even spent and extra 45 after check out making sure the room was clean and spotless. typical Aussie scums trying to fuck over tourists..... guess what I cancelled my card. reported it as fraud and will be getting a full refund for the ten days I spent there. one of their complaints was that "coffee grounds were left on or near the sink"???
Polar is dope and We Blew It at Some Point is one of my fav vids, but I cannot stand boards with wheel wells. I know not all their boards have them but it just gets a little too close to longboards for me

I ride my thunders, which are kinda low, pretty loose, so the wheel wells are a blessing.
I love Quasi boards too. Shapes are similar to fa/hockey with the square nose + they got Bobby D

Love boards with wheel wells. Probably because I grew up DHing...I want a bustin Yoface so bad. Thinking if my next job is close enough I may pick one up as a commuter.
I’ve got the square shape Polar but no wheel wells BUT I also have a Bustin Yoface. That thing is a trip for the pump track. Bustin trucks suck though. I broke them on a rail last summer. Got them in a Bustin mystery box so beggars can’t be choosers, I guess.
CeleryI'm a big fan of the p2 shape, mellow concave, big rounded off square nose and I had one with wheelwells.

Yeah i tend not to trust trucks made by deck brands. How you liking the deck though? I haven't heard much about it since I left the DH/skate scene but looks like a fun shape for a commuter

Dope, I have a regular 8.125 with wells in London as my general board for when I'm visiting home, and I have a P9 wells as my daily board in the mountains. P2 could be a fun mix of both.
Have you had any issues with wheelwells boards snapping easier?
I love the deck. It’s super fun. It’s not too heavy so you throw it around some. It’s got hella pop and feels nice. I did have a simile shape in the past that I liked a little better though. Arbor Shakedown 37. It’s worth looking into too. The Bustin wheel wells protrude a lot and can be a little distracting. They’re moreso pressed into the shape whereas on the shakedown they’re milled into the bottom so board feel was a tad less jumbled.

Doing a weekly discussion post for my class, but everyone in my discussion group dropped the course so it's just me talking to myself in an empty discussion group.

It snapped in a normal amount of time for me. I just picked up a heroin 10.2 wide pool board with some ace af1 today and Holy moly is it a fun setup

Yo thats so funny. I follow Sals and saw them post this and was like "damn thats a sick board". Glad it's going to a good home
I get why HOAs exist but JEEZ do they just get out of control. Had a dishwasher installed today. Did all of the necessary steps required. Made them enter and exit through garage door, elevator, etc. When they took the old dishwasher, I guess one of the lines fell and left a tiny trail of water*. Lady confronts me after I showed them out asking “do I plan to clean that up” and she “will be letting the HOA board know because she ‘doesn’t think it’s appropriate’”.
Like lady A) why the confrontational tone B) it just happened, give us a chance to think here. I’m getting tired of this attitude in the USA. Why are we so fucking uptight and at each other’s throats all the time. Like GATTAMN
*water trail was in lobby and just got carpet barely wet
