plus, you need to apologize about the contest comments. that made no sense and had no cultural viability for you to make those remarks.

he doesn't know enough history, or the culture enough to even make this an official thread..

look at where he started..

be like someone making an official hip-hop thread, and the first post is Childish Gambino..

 

[King Jove]

This whole video is one of my favorites...but koston's part in the 101 video was revolutionary and ahead of its time.

i'm just into contest like street league. that's just my opinion. you can still be a fan tho.

your dislike of contests is based on your inability to consistently pull tricks.
plus, don't try to make it like I don't know what goes into making skate vids.
i may not have known much about the nineties era.
yet, for my era....
i am the dude with first gen curb dog tapes, g.
so, don't try to make it like i don't know about the process of skating via vid.

skating via vid is a whole production.
no matter what, type of resources are going on.
were you could technically have as many takes and that can be over an unspecified number of tries.
for even a number of unspecified years, logically.

with a contest, it is a production.
where you have to land on your first take.
so, how is that not what skating is about.
which is challenging yourself.

as a skater are we trying to be as good as first friday everytime with our tricks.
that, we are supposed to know how to do and perform when it is made to have a need.
especially in street,...cause from what i understand from riding.
i need consistency in tricks to separate me from life or death.
i can be riding in the street and it is a car, on my left.
plus, a little truck stopping pebble or twig in my way.
if i hit truck stopping pebble, the mortal enemy of every skater alive.
i skid, out of control, and could get run over by said car on my left.
so, consistency in execution of tricks and riding is OVERLY needed, as a skill.
just to stay alive,...
which i can say is the basis of street skating, psychologically or physiologically as far as health is concerned.

i need my little ollie at best, and the ability to control and manuever around the obstacle.
to ride in the street, and shred all over.
so, people in contest show an ability to do this and it is now on free tv televised.
of the ability to land these tricks in a controlled environment.
with consistency and having to adhere to the variables someone else created.
from the format rules to the time they do said trick.
which, is the same type of focus to win a contest.
you need to have in street to stay alive.

if said car on my left or right, swerves and cuts the space area to turn around said pebble stoppping rock.
now, i have a smaller area of manueverability that warrants i have to ollie over the pebble and over the curb back on the sidewalk.
so, now i am required to do a 360 style ollie at a moments notice.

the same 360 style ollie a contestant in a skate contest is doing.
now, watching said contest.
i can see what you have to do.
to consistently under the guise of other variables land said trick.
with pressurized situations just like skating in the street.
i don't see how you have a disconnect towards a skate contest.

it makes utterly no fukk'n sense.
they are showing you how to land the tricks in the contest.
under the pressure, and duress and in a controlled environment.
so, you could study technical application.
on the first try or over the duration of a contest.
on a series of runs, that are far less than the number of unspecified runs on takes.
that someone could realistically have when making a video clip.
so, how do you have a negative connotation about contests.

plus, you supposedly skate.

the issue is,...
plus, from the videos you posted to prove your claim.
you want to find a small window.
or contingent of people to validate a completely non-culturally associated gripe with contests.
that is built upon the fact, you are not good enough to actually compete.
let alone win an actual contest.

that is your issue with the contest.
which is from your own personal issues.
you have from your inability to be a top level skilled skater.
it isn't the contest, it is your inability to execute on a deck.
that has warped into some completely bullshyt asinine gripe.
that has not one culturally associated metric that will agree with you.
when, you try to explain it.


it is some complete deflection low self esteem bullshyt.


you don't like contest.

nikka, skate contest coming on abc was a god send to me as a shawty, nikka.


you sound dumb as that thing.

first off, i never said i wasn't into contest. i'm just not into street league. i don't like the setup and the scoring system.

thrasher's wallenberg contest was pretty cool.



i'm just not into street league. get over it. nothing you type is going to change my opinion on that. if you're into it then good for you.
