For me it’s how long this act has been going on now, showing up to a demo or two and taking this piss a bit, fine, but it’s been years of this. It’s almost moved on from cringe or embarrassing now, it’s actually really quite odd.

Koston’s always been the same, there’s tonnes of old footage of him dorking around just like he does at the Berrics…it’s just not cute any more :laughing:

Totally. He always goofed off.

But it was always backed up with un-fuck-withable parts, photos, etc. Or even just dope looking, classic tricks on good spots.

That whole side balanced it out before it disappeared a decade ago.

Don’t mind that he’s not that good these days, just the goofing off is cringe. Like with Crob.

You’ve got a point, like the chomp on this part

For me it’s not the cringey goofing off, it’s the perceived lack of effort going into the skateboarding that surrounds it.

There was a quote in an old copy of TWS from 2000 about the Gonz that I can only paraphrase without the issue to hand, but it’s something along the lines of him making skateboarding look silly, but never stupid with his goofing around. Koston makes it look stupid. Stupid and contrived. Stupid, contrived and low effort.

Plus he’s obviously being encouraged/indulged by everyone around him, so they need to share some of the blame.

But mainly him.

That was actually better than I was expecting. Koston still annoying af but the switch heel was nice

Cody Cepeda vs Ryan Decenzo.

No one is a winner regardless of the result.

My eyes hurt and I feel emotionally lost. I love skateboarding so much, I really didn’t need to see this.
You could have warned us.

One guy rides for revive and has a YouTube channel dedicated to flstground, the other guy rides for Powell and noseslide nollie flipped the LA convention centre. Fairly stoked on the outcome tbh :joy:
