Just reminded me of all the weird captions Flip put on their Instagram posts trying to get interactions to boost the algorithms, embarrassing.
Really liked that! Always stoked to see people skating in remote places.
That kinked marble block in Skopje looked delicious.

Can’t believe skate companies are trying to get users to interact with their content on social media. So cringe

Seems like they’re just trying to get interactions from kids which is sound for business but unappealing for an adult market

Geneva’s finest on two wheels.
It’s always a fucking question.
“Lol what would you call this trick”?
And it’s fucking Decuna doing some retarded noseslide body varial or something.

Embarrassing.
Skateboarding is a $2bn industry and those in the 12-17 age bracket make up 44.1% of sales (according to 2018 data). The under 12’s are the next biggest chunk of the market with over 18’s being by far the smallest group (in terms of generating revenue).
Gen Z isn’t particularly brand loyal; as much as teen savvy Youtube companies might be coining it in now those kids will happily spend elsewhere if something pops up and appeals to them. Even as somebody who doesn’t really care about money I can’t blame established brands changing their advertising model to target the biggest segments of the market (at the expense of potentially losing credibility with a significantly smaller demographic).

Do teams even tour anymore? Why spend months touring around in vans when you can just put some park clips on Instagram and tag it with #skatebaordingisfun
Hashtag toothpickgod was just a 2018 version of Kasperholics
Absolute Deutsch disco stomper in this! Phil Zwijsen picks some great Euro bangers for his edits.
Edit: the song is Finnish!
Yeah, they do…but unless you are Indy, no one does it during a pandemic.
And those clickbait style insta captions are horrible.

I read this and was expecting to watch someone who was narrowly avoiding becoming a skateboard fashion meme.
But you meant the other thing
