I am far too indecisive for this.

That said:

  • Puleo or Worrest? Why? Puleo seems a bit more suspect plus Worrest sw tre is special and krooked.
  • Britney Spears or Courtney Love? Why? Somehow she seems more stable and is cooler because of Kurt.
  • Frontside crooks or switch crooks? Why? Sw crook is easy if you are doing it on your standing leg.
  • Lisbon or Vienna? Why? Closer to the surf?
  • Falafel or lamb kebab? Why? Impossible choice. Lamb if I was at gunpoint
  • Good old book or reading tablet? Why? No charging, but it is easier to hold a tablet. Get all kinds of weird angles trying to hold a book open with one hand and if it’s a hard back oof. I actually read more books on my phone, yuck.
  • Hardflip or V bomb? Why? Hardflip seems dorky and pressurey.
  • Beverly Hills Cop or The Terminator? Why? Tech noir but Akwel has a special place in my heart too.
  • Tea or lager? Why? Can’t dunk biscuits in a lager. Well you could but no.
  • Half Cab or Janoski? Why? More betterer to skate in for me.

Worrest? I like both skating but Worrest has more stoke.
Courtney, no idea, I can’t imagine liking either of them in person.
Can’t do either. Have done a couple of switch scratchers 20 years ago so Switch I guess.
Lisbon, always fancied it since watching Bon Appetit and want to visit a few surrounding places.
Lamb would have been years ago but a good falafel trumps nowadays.
Book, feels real.
V bomb? dunno
Terminator! no comparison. Pucky eye out!
Tea just because it’s not lager but drink neither. Hate lager.
Half cabs can look nicer but i’ll never buy either

  • Worrest in every way
  • Britney, bitch
  • Switch crooks because they were the coolest trick you could aspire to do when I was a kid
  • Never been to either, but every Portuguese person I’ve ever met has been sound
  • Lamb kebab, garlic sauce, no onions. I like falafel but chickpeas do not like me
  • Books, for the smell of ink
  • Hardflip as long as people don’t do the bent stank foot catch, otherwise v bombs are acceptable
  • Terminator 2 is one of the best films ever made
  • Lager in the afternoon. Peppermint tea in the evening
  • Cupsoles only

Puleo, I think he’d be interesting to talk to for an afternoon.
Britney Spears, the less crazy of two crazies.
Frontside crooks, just look and feel better to me personally.
Vienna, so I can walk around singing the Ultravox song like every other unoriginal British tourist.
Falafel, not a fan of lamb.
Good old book, just feels right.
Hardflip, a proper one does look great.
The Terminator, Just a better and more rewatchable film with a great premise and ending.
Tea, doesn’t steal my nights or days.
Janoski, I’ve made my feelings on the Half Cab known, haha.

  • Puleo always tried too hard imo. Also I just don’t care about collections of found ticket stubs.
  • Britney, because Courtney is horrible.
  • I can’t do either but I think a swizz one coming out forwards would feel nicer
  • Lisbon looks amazing but I’d have to say Vienna because I would be singing a dad joke all day long if I went there
  • Lamb kebab is possibly the greatest food on Earth
  • Book, because I enjoy using an improvised bookmark that makes a statement
  • I can’t do either but I’ve never liked the look of hardflips (apart from Gershon and one or two others)
  • Terminator is a contender for Most Badass Thing Ever Created By Humanity so it’d have to be that
  • Tea is lovely, lager is horrible
  • Never had Janoskis because they instantly became UK high street fodder. So, Half Cabs, flawed though they are.

Puleo - because he knows it’s all about thinkin’ and skateboarding and wrecking yourself. Wreckin’ your legs and wreckin’ your arms and then thinkin’ more…and living.

Spending more than two minutes with either one would cause me to, 1) be detained in a mental health facility against my will or, 2) drive me to kill someone with a shotgun.

The swizz crizz - honest answer is because it’s easier to slappy into one on a curb.

Lisbon - because getting any more than a couple of miles inland away from the sea gives me the fucking fantods.

Lamb kebab - only because it would remind me of Moroccan hospitality.

Book - they’re tactile - there’s no comparison between that and gawping at a screen.

Shove it flip - you can’t illusion or pressure cheat your way to making one look good.

Beverly Hills Cop - I get enough fucked up dystopian future vibes from the real life present, thanks very much.

Earl Grey all day. I don’t drink piss.

Neither to put on my feet. Although I could stick a Half Cab on a shelf and look at it.

  • Tea - Neither but if I had to choose, Tea, as I don’t drink boozers anymore.
  • Janoski - Those Janoski Max look wearable. Cabs look like Lego boots and Janoski OG is so hipster starter pack

Switch crooks, because the added complexity of doing it switch makes it more impressive. It shows a higher level of control and skill.

Lisbon or Vienna? Why?
Lisbon, because of its vibrant street culture, beautiful scenery, and perfect weather for a skate session or exploration.

Falafel or lamb kebab? Why?
Falafel, because it’s a delicious vegetarian option that still packs great flavor and texture, perfect for all kinds of tastes.

Good old book or reading tablet? Why?
Good old book, because there’s something irreplaceable about the tactile feel of turning pages and the nostalgia that comes with it.

Hardflip or V bomb? Why?
Hardflip, because it’s a classic trick that looks sick and is incredibly hard to land consistently.

Beverly Hills Cop or The Terminator? Why?

Tea or lager? Why?

Puleo or Worrest? Why?

Puleo for spots Bobby for tricks and Bobby Worrest decks are the best decks on the planet.

Britney Spears or Courtney Love? Why?

Courtney Love, just more my era.

Frontside crooks or switch crooks? Why?

FS slappy crooks cos they’re fun.

Lisbon or Vienna? Why?

I’ve been to Lisbon but not to Vienna. Vienna is the most confusing placename ever, sounds like Venice, and like it should be in Italy. Fuck you Vienna, Lisbon easy winner here.

Falafel or lamb kebab? Why?

Don’t eat meat. Falafel.

Good old book or reading tablet? Why?

Book.

Hardflip or V bomb? Why?

V bomb because it looks good done well whereas hardflips look shit done well and look better done shit.

Beverly Hills Cop or The Terminator? Why?

Haven’t seen either so don’t know. Terminator cos it’s on that Henry Sanchez deck.

Tea or lager? Why?

Lager because it gets you pissed.

Half Cab or Janoski? Why?

Half Cab before they made them shit with bouncy insoles and stiff heels.

Not like every go at all, and I used to able do them.

Have done a load of ones where you pop fakie and land in switch front crook

Some great answers here!

@Scurbrampwoody’s made me laugh for sure.

Alright, here’s my take on this…

  • Puleo or Worrest? Why? Puleo because he seemed like a cool guy or even a nutter for a long time and is a fantastic nerd these days which is so great to see. This said, Worrest is definitely one of my all time favorites too.

  • Britney Spears or Courtney Love? Why? I’d drink beers with Courtney and would chill in the jacuzzi with Britney the morning after. Alright, I’ll keep Britney.

  • Frontside crooks or switch crooks? Why? Switch crooks because I can’t do frontside crooks. Frontside crooks are cooler though. Gotta learn those for fuck’s sake.

  • Lisbon or Vienna? Why? Never been to either, it seems like Lisbon would be more exotic so Lisbon.

  • Falafel or lamb kebab? Why? Falafel because I eat less meat than I used to and would be happy not eating any anymore.

  • Good old book or reading tablet? Why? Book of course. The smell of ink as @BvS said.

  • Hardflip or V bomb? Why? Varial flip any day. Most hardflips are gross.

  • Beverly Hills Cop or The Terminator? Why? Tough one. The Terminator.

  • Tea or lager? Why? Early Grey like @Scurbrampwoody.

  • Half Cab or Janoski? Why? Half Cabs because I love them. Never liked Janoskis, not a big fan of Nike either.
