Say what you want but his part in the Almost video was a joke good and he’s done some insane stuff like alley oop fs flip the meanwhile gap.
Yes he’s a kook but not Nyjah or Chaz Ortiz levels.

Thought that as I watched this and couldn’t help but wonder how it came to this.
That’s what I’m wondering as well, he really shouldn’t be struggling as much as he seems to be.
One for the fashion police thread.

He makes an interesting case study for how a skate career can take a wrong turn and never recover. He was/is a very very good skateboarder. People sort of forget but mid 00’s he was top tier - didn’t he win Tamp pro like 3 times? He was on Krooked at one point as well.
But he was never cool and it looked like he chased $$$ too much but wasn’t very good at making the right sponsor choices. K-Swiss being one.
Plus, the hat.

Yep, for a month or so and quit just as it launched. K-Swiss though, jaysus…
My biggest takeaway from that Slutzka video is “Fuck me, DVS still exists.”

Greg Lutzka fan here. His hat never offended me and I was a big fan of his daddy longleg style and his trick selection. That clip was rubbish though.

Does anyone remember when he was an AM and basically debuted in some Big Brother mags. They were all on tour and the toilet kept blocking in any room he stayed in and it turned out he didn’t quite know how to wipe his arse properly, he used to wrap toilet paper around his hand loads of times and then wipe.
Has changed the way I view him even to this day, alley-oop fs flip Meanwhile Gap or not

I read or misremembered he get on krooked and like van wastell went round his house and his walls were covered with pics of himself, GL that is.
Phoned up Jim/gonz and was like ‘nah’.
Did he leave Globe for KSwiss? That was definitely a bad decision, think he had a pro shoe with them as well. I’m trying to work out his downfall from legit sponsors to wack sponsors.
Globe > K Swiss > ? > Osiris > DVS?
Krooked > Almost > Darkstar
I think he probably thought he was the big deal because he was the first on a potential big brand crossover just like Nike, Adidas and New Balance. New Balance seems to be the only underdog that has done a good job of crossing over. Reebok couldn’t even if Stevie was involved. To feel chosen to represent a brand doing this must have been crazy fuel to the ego. It just didn’t work out I guess.
Personally, can’t say I was ever a fan, even with the Almost vid. He did definitely pushed things along with his tech rail/360 progression though.
First person to go 270 to blunt on a handrail i guess
oh man I hate fedoras so much

There was a video of him at K-Swiss talking about how having a toe split (lengthways) into 3 pieces was a sensible thing to do. No, no, it is not a sensible thing to do, why do you want 3 lengths of exposed seams to rip to shreds, it’s fucking obvious you absolute heap

I’m pretty sure “cunty hats” was coined here, sounds like an anon outburst, but it’s the most suitable phrase for the fedora.

Tim O’Connor summed him up well;
“Front 360 into a pile of money, Front 360 his way out of the bank after cashing a check, Front 360 into the champagne room.”
