Miner left Element after Peace was done…
Ahh, did not know that, thanks.
yep, totally get this.
Magee is better.
Was thinking more continental European. Britain stands apart as recent history attests to. But agree that Magee is better.
That Evan part was better than I expected and my expectations weren’t exactly low.
Not my thing music wise but enjoyed watching the skating.
He’s nuts aye
Remember seeing Tom Knox do flip wallrides back in 1989 and being blown away and he’s doing them stairgap to wall. So nuts
sick to see him back smashing it after breaking his knob, don’t think i’d even contemplate skateboarding again after that
Remember thinking he was nuts, no pun intended, when I saw him in Copenhagen.
The dude is evidently incredible but there is just something so stinking about Evan Smith to me. Also I hate full parts with ridiculous long intros. 1:40 in and there’s only been on trick…
Edit: forgot to mention…white rapper in the middle of the part was banging!
Some half mosh stuff from Cape Town - some picturesque spots in the sunshine if nothing else.
There’s something really gross about that persona he’s creating.
Yeah agree Evan Smith is amazing but style/ persona are both stinking and that edit was horrible the whole psychedelic gimmick around him feels so forced
Maybe the first wrong step Anti Hero have ever made? (know it’s technically Grimple Stix but same thing)
I liked it, ah well.
and me, I would normally hate that kind of thing as well.
Shawn Powers > Evan Smith
Word
He eats dog shit ffs. That tells you all you need to know.
Someone needs to settle this for me… What is Grimple Stix??? I know it’s out of Deluxe but is it a board company or what as I see both Element and Anti Hero riders in that edit??
Covid-19 > Shawn Powers
Anti Hero split into 5 companies a few seasons ago. Dawg Shit, Yogrt,Flying Rat, Jalopi, Grimple Stix.
Just for fun…
Did loads of guest boards, etc. Jerry Hsu got one…Evan Smith, too - but the Evan Smith thing and the Grimple Stix deal has sort of kept running for some reason.
I guess they are just having fun with it…but it’s Anti Hero.
I quite like that Evan Smith is now more involved but they aren’t saying if he’s on or not…
I don’t get the Evan Smith hate, though. I think the problem he had at Element was that he just isn’t very marketable. He isn’t really the type of guy able to lead the charge for a company…but fuck me, he is an incredible skateboarder.
