Bo Selecta - Proper Crimbo

[nukethesun]

Hello I am an American and I am NOT ready for Bo Selecta.

[pedromayn-blog]

srs poSt times lol.

it is a srs post dis time lolz.!!!!!!1 (for those who actually read these tings and give two monkey nuts). But recently, as well as having debates with people (whether if it's a mere agreement with a friend or a randomer on the internet or a disagreement) on skateboarding I've thought about my current stance on skateboarding as a whole and I believe I hold a strong opinion on it instead of like ''yeah i skate''. This is more of what skateboarding means to me + video parts java. I guess since this is a blog and yeah, I'll just post what I think. (I just hope it doesn't come across corny or whatever, I actually don't care nevermindlol). I believe skateboarding should never be taken serious in a sense that if you don't enjoy it, don't do it. Simple. I guess I can understand the stresses and the annoyance of having to do it when you don't want to in order to get out an ad, get paid and all that sponsor shizzle, but I guess things change a bit when it becomes a 'job' so to speak. (nizzle) Skateboarding is a large and well known activity (notice the use of activity as opposed to sport, I'll get back to that). Skateboarding is also an activity that hasn't been around as long as many other sports and it only really blew up in the last 40 years or so. Still, I do also hold an opinion that skateboarding is still relatively 'underground' in a way that skateboarders can maintain the same disrespect from everyday chumps (who funnily enough are probably rocking the same gear as you, I'll also come back to that in a bit) or irate old people AND still, there'll be a lack of people or even parks in your area unlike in America. Now the reason I don't use the term 'sports' is that I think skateboarding holds a higher level of integrity and individuality than that some sports hold and it doesn't need any necessary, training or requirements; it's totally an individual thing to do. It not only helps you exercise, but it allows for creativity, expression and confidence. I know many people who aren't popular or to be the most talkative people in the world, but put them on a board and they'll leave you like ''wtf dat was da shit yo''. I can also add I don't think anyone would really know me or I know them if it wasn't thanks for skateboarding. Skateboarding brought out me and my personality, the way I see things is a flow and a particular direction which I like to perceive in, for example, a line where I'll string a bunch of tricks together or some quirky ass trick somewhere stupid. Skateboarding yields millions of styles and personalities, my favourite thing about skateboarding is the incorporation of music. I don't think skate parts could really be as memorable without a punk song blasting as someone tanks it down a road and throws a burly ass gap down and it's really powerful and fast, but the punk song gives it that more edge. Then the same goes to someone doing a set of ledges one after another whilst a boom-bap sounding hip hop track is playing over the skating. For me the two important musical genres to be intertwined with skateboarding are hip hop and punk. (Even though raw clips are dope as fuck especially from this guy) Another thing to point out is that skateboarders have been ahead of the times with many things without trying to be, this can be fitted with the recent trend of chinos (which I bet chavs would have laughed at a dude rocking a pair for being 'old mens trousers) and Vans shoes (which from what I gathered from a lot of older guys, would have gotten you abuse in the 80s/90s as being ''goofy'' unless you were in a punk band). I have experienced hate both inside and out of the skate world for my attire which I've never changed and only switched up during my time skating. I've never seen myself to follow trends or to wear something to appeal to someone else; which I'd like to point out to anyone whom worries about what others think of their skating or thinks they might need to wear something in particular, no just go fucking wear what you want. Then again the way I've learned to just say ''ah fuck you I'm going to do what I want'' like that might sound a bit wanna-be-rebel-lolz, is very much true to my skating and dress sense because I find it suits me best and doesn't matter if Tom, Dick and Harry like it or not. Lastly, skateboarding shapes and has shaped who I am, the music taste and taste of clothing (especially trainers) has come from skateboarding and I've never really had anything inbetween me picking up the board and now; it's the thing that's got me most of my friends and best times in my life (oh lol u r being corny now l0L). Especially living in an area filled with crackheads, drunken knobheads and little bastards with no goals in life, skateboarding has steered me from any dumb shit that could drag me down such as drugs and alcohol. Especially where most weekends people are absolutely wrecked and don't do anything other than DRINK I'm probably out there with a few friends in a parking lot skating around. Aswell as that I feel like I take skateboarding to heart (heart lol <3) and see myself continuing it until I literally can not do it, even if that means being 40 odd and riding around a pool or something. Now another thing I'd like to point out is what I've gained over the years skating and watching, is skate videos.(and what this whole thing has stemmed from with a recent disagreement). Without skate videos  (aswell as photos and magazines, I won't forget that too!) we would never have been able to see how this stuff goes down that you might have heard or read about or whatever. I found this out when I was 13, copping my very first skate vid and that was Questionable. I guess I grew up on a vid most of the people have that are now in their 30s, but that's another thing (I'm not a true 90s kid but this is one of the pinnacle vids of the 90s, just putting that out there). With Questionable I found the importance of style, since a majority of skateboarding in the 90s got slower, more technical and things got a little bit...sketchy (shitty) and seeing all these dudes (especially Sheffey and Carroll) pulling out tricks with pure style and essence was truely amazing for me to see at the time I was truely engrossing myself into skateboarding. A recent debate sparked me to think a little about how skateboarding is going in terms of direction and that relates to videos. I hold a perception of skateboarding videos that I take to heart like I do with my skateboarding. I find if videos ever deem to go into just trick, trick, trick (basically a part that is only tricks and never any lines) and people only dropping shit at parks and not in the streets, then shit is going to be real lack luster any minute. However I do know that isn't any minute, thank god. I once heard a quote from someone I know when we were discussing skate parts and what makes a good video, this is something I bring up whenever someone has to say something about a skate video; ''A video with lines or a video without any decides if it's a good video or a bad one''. Now, the reason I despise (with exception) parts with the trick, trick shit is because it's pretty much ruining the flow you'd expect from seeing someone skate in a line. The thing with trick trick parts and from my history of watching them I end up drifting off or talking to my dog. Another thing notable with trick, trick parts is when they do gaps and stairs. There was a time when kids were killing themselves on sets that are possibly bigger than them and could barely skate around but would get praised merely on the LARGEST set they could do. Now I'm not knocking dudes who kill it on sets or anything, but when someone's got absolutely stinking style and just does sets and gaps, it just takes away from what skateboarding is to me. (I think a large amount of people I know could name this person out to me) Style in skateboarding is DEFINITELY and upmost important, from John Cardiel to Tom Penny, style is what matters in skateboarding videos too. A skateboarder has his or her own style, it can be copied but not truely emulated. It starts from something simple as dress sense (not that what you wears matters, but it plays a minor role at that) to how they look merely standing upon the top of the board when riding through a street. Now, back to the part about lines and that.. A lot of skaters that are massively talked about I find tend to be the dudes who are incredibly 'lackluster' with their style and tricks from what I've seen. I could give a monkey's rotten butt if a dude can do some combination of a late-trundle-lick-flip into a crooked if it's going to look like the kind of brown soppy stuff I find on the pavement. If a dude can be incredibly lax with his bag of tricks but pull off his amount of tricks with his own style and even personality to them is what truely makes a skate part interesting. (Disclaimer-tit-bob; PJ Ladd's tekkers are sick and don't need a disclaimer-tit-bob for me to say I'm not hating him 'cause I fucks with his skating for real). The kind of dudes I think are utterly important for showing style have to be (there's many more, but most important to me) are John Cardiel, Ricky Oyola, Josh Kalis, Tom Penny (95 Penny in particular of course) and Mike Carroll. First are foremost, tricks done with pure speed are amazing on many levels. The factors you put in when going flying towards the obstacle you're going to skate are terrifying but works better than hitting it at a slugs pace. I know for one I like doing lines down a ride over drains, trying to get tricks I can do faster and faster each time and generally flying down the streets as fast as I can on my board simply for the rush it gives you. Secondly, trick selection and how the the tricks fit in with the line that a person does are an integral part to a vid or even skating in general. This is noticeable in mini ramp or skating a set of ledges, whenever you see someone string a set of tricks back and forth in a casual way is pretty sick to witness. I guess all in all the important factors in skateboarding, in my opinion to make a video a VIDEO are lines and an important trick selection with style. I guess any other true skater will understand it or atleast come to understand it down the line. Now before I drag this out any longer that's all I can say for almost 7am, so I'll probably add more when my brain is ph-resh. lolz..
