Kicking things off with the announcement that EDGLRD are finally dropping their debut video, Point Cloud, online tomorrow
Now this is my kind of thread.
we should have a live edglrd watch party.
The fact that these things exist and are still on sale baffles me.
The straight reissue is a disgrace but the limited edition blood spattered deck transcended plain bad taste. Dorfman knew what he was doing there. What a fabricant.
Woah now. Subject to Change part is a banger!
Mike York joining Blueprint 2.0
Fuming.
Yeah the whole of Blueprint 2.0 is up there
Mentioned in his bobshitrt interview, he thought he was joining Shier and the gang.
Calling Anti Hero “The 18”
Been looking forward to the edglrd vid.
The whole late stage LA skateboarder thing where they get into golf and investment advice is the worst.
The best thing I can hope for from the edgelord video is that it encourages people to start putting a bit more effort into their editing again. Enough of this just chucking footage on a timeline and throwing some Midwest emo over the top - I want a return to ‘one step beyond’ levels of motion graphics. The only people who seem to be doing interesting stuff like this now are, as usual, the Japanese
For bad taste I’d suggest this Jersey Shore-looking distressed denim cap from Yardsale’s latest season, but, bafflingly, it’s sold out.
I love how trashy some pro-skaters become as they start to move away from sponsored skating. Recent highlights:

Just lean in to being the most obnoxious main character.
Agreed, but also Atlantic Drift.
Nyjah’s leggings under shorts phase. Fair enough if you’re playing 5 a side in -4 on a Wednesday night but not when you’re “sending” in the Cali sunshine.
Leggings under shorts screams micropenis, same as when you see people where shorts over a wetsuit.
and the short shorts. Very odd phase that one.
I’ve had both the PR company Edglrd use and a fashion magazine hit me up to write articles on that video inclusive of interviews with Koston and Harmony Korine (in the case of the latter). I turned both down but I’m very curious to see who took the bait for coverage around this thing.
When the press release went out under “embargo” a few weeks back my friend Zach just threw a screenshot of the email on Twitter (which I think got shared on here). They opened it with “Hey Kyle” anyhow, lol.
