>Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.

seems like it honestly. only a rollerblader would be so nostalgic for the 80s and 90s';

'Is this the new esg';

'>>186547
I said “rollerboarding” you dyslexic illiterate.

Don’t you have a skatepark to go to and stare at the ground, not talk to anyone, then try the same trick 600 times only involving the 3 state-approved flip tricks and grinds while wearing black, dark brown, or gray pants, hoodie, and beanie or volley hat? Fucking faggot ass robots.';

I like how nothing ITT even attempted to refute anything I’ve said, just more “YoU’Re a BoOmEr”, which doesn’t even make sense since this is a 100% Gen X era of skateboarding.';

why would anyone waste their time trying to argue with some old retard running off blind nostalgia';

'>>186555
>Why would someone try to make a losing argument when modern skateboarding is worse in every way than 88-92 skateboarding

Fair point.

Seriously, go watch any video from the late 80's and 90's on or before 92 and see how much more fun everyone seems to be having. Ever since everyone is just angry, pedantic, and tryhard or flat out kooks doing bullshit tricks like "strawberry milkshakes".';

Yeah, you’re right, saying things nowhere changes them o_O';

plenty of people skate like this. people on esg just have shit taste. for example check out the PNW scene. look up dope planet magazine etc they all skate like the late 80s';

Almost, but where’s the day glo and fish boards? It’s a package deal. You can’t watch an 80’s Powell video and tell me that doesn’t look like the most fun events ever. You need all the pieces. There is no good reason we can’t get down like that anymore.';

'>>186635
>There is no good reason we can’t get down like that anymore.
you can "get down" however you want nobody is stopping you';

'>>186658
It's only fun if everyone is on board.

Like, imagine liking football and you show up and it's just you in an empty stadium holding a football vs. two full teams and a crowd in the stands.

Tell me this doesn't look way more fun than any modern contest: https://youtu.be/VG74o7aafpc?si=i1KGYXP2__3JhKiv&t=590

Show me one god damn blown out middle aged woman smoking like that at a skate event today.';

I do, why do you think I'm trying to talk to other people about it and get them interested?

'>>186736
>But no, this is 4chan "I won't do what you tell me dad".com
you are making no sense. there are no rules in skateboarding, dress however you want, skate however you want, its not like your gonna be filming a part or are trying to get recognized so the only person stopping you is yourself.';

'>>186739
What part of this are you missing that I am trying to expose people to the superior way things were instead of the shitty way they are now? I don't live where you live, you won't see me at the skatepark, but I can show you how much better things were and hope you see what I see in it. I'm not trying to fucking skate like the 80's in an empty skatepark by myself, I'm trying to make people realize modern skateboarding fucking sucks and isn't fun and it would be fun again if they got on board with what I'm talking about.

Pic related, these dudes had more fun in one day than all of the tryhard fags in the last 30 years have had altogether.';

'>>186741
so the entire point of this thread is so you can spam 80s pics and bitch and moan about modernity through an autistic nostalgic lens?

>I'm not trying to fucking skate like the 80's in an empty skatepark by myself
Why not? What do you do then? Do you just not skate? Do you practice the 3 government approved flip tricks and do tech shit on ledges like you think everyone else restricts themselves to?';

'>>186744
Clearly I'm in the company of some faggot ass robots that actually likes this autistic shitfest that is modern skateboarding, so whatever, enjoy your robot tricks, dorks.';

'>>186846
you didnt answer any of my questions. you just want to be an angry faggot. im grilling you because I have a friend who rides old school style shaped decks, looks the part with the shorts above the knees, bright colors, fanny pack, etc, does the kooky 80s tricks and nobody in our friend group cares cause thats his thing, thats what he thinks is cool, do we joke about it behind his back? yeah, but we all respect him for doing his thing. in fact hes just like you in that he talks the most shit about doing tech ledge shit while half the tricks he does involve flipping the board around in his hands with both feet on the ground, but at least he fucking does his thing while it seems like you're too scared to.';

'>>186853
You asked rhetorical questions, faggot. And yes I fucking do it anyway. I don't necessarily want two-feet-on-the-ground-hand-spin-flips, that's still kook shit. Watch actual contests from the late 80's until 92 and you'll see plenty of tricks that still comply with modern rules (not just standing around spinning your board with your hands), but it's the overall vibe that sucks now and the absolute fear of skating something that isn't a court appointed grind obstacle TM.';

'>>186859
I wasnt asking rhetorical questions though, if thats what you thought they were then you really are just battling your own mental. You seem to have a limited view of whats cool and thats just lame.';

'>>186867
You are missing the biggest part of the entire point: the entire *gestalt* of skateboarding sucks now.

I'm not saying don't do flip tricks, or don't do grinds, and honestly even the double kicktail board is not the problem, it's the fact that skateboarding has turned from a really fun over-the-top improvisational vibe into a super strict, almost funeral procession-like activity with none of the fun it once had.

Again, go watch some videos from 89-91 like Hocus Pocus, Ban This, Propaganda, etc. (all on youtube btw) and compare it to a video or what you see at the skatepark today. The entire experience is completely different and it's all for the worse.';

no thanks, i for one am glad skateboarding is whack again, the parks will be empty.';

You misspelled "closed down due to lack of utilization"';

'9/10 times my local is empty on a Sunday afternoon these days. Two years ago there was no hope of such luck. Skateboarding needs to go the way of roller blading.';

'>>187202
It needs to become gay?

(In all seriousness, I think we were too hard on rollerbladers, it’s easier obstacle for obstacle, sure, but it was actually a good entry point with a lower skill floor than skateboards. Scooters, on the other hand, all of that is 100% gay as fuck)';

'>it's Friday afternoon
