I saw a josh kalis photo from 15 years ago and he looks EXACTLY the same. I know if it ain’t broke don’t fix it but jeez.
Most of the baggy pants nowadays are nothing like the baggy pants of ye goode olde days. All these big straight Dickies and shit.

British skaters are generally way worse than their US counterparts. Rough spots are just an excuse.

It is a good excuse though, as is shit weather.

I honestly didn’t get the hype around photosynthesis and timecode.
On a similar note: Marianos part in mouse is overrated and his whole comeback has damaged his legacy more than cemented it.
Video Days ain’t all that tbh.

I feel like Video days holds the title it does, based on how accessible the level of skating is to your average person in the years following the release.
People talk about like it’s the fucking bible. Nah.
Context though, right?
Like, Danny Ways megaramp part in the DC Video 15 years ago was unimaginable at the time. It’s now warm ups for 12 year olds.
Anyway…
Big butt Mariano comeback is a bit of a stinker and some of his trick choices are fairly illegal.

Incredibly illegal.
I think Mariano benefits from a good editor. He’s a good example of just cos you can doesn’t mean you should.
And actually his lack of output since getting on Nike/Numbers has probably helped him recover some mystique post Pretty Sweet

I find it really hard reconciling the idea that the same person wearing dad jeans and a wrist guard doing smith grind laser flips could ever be heralded as style pioneer

He’s definitely done a fair few illegal tricks but I don’t think you could say most of his are, that would be a bit ridiculous to me.
Baker and Deathwish both suck. They make me cringe.
