Fin gibbs opinions did not age well

Tom Knox is underrated. I don’t hear skaters talk about him as much as I’d expect, since I feel like there’s a lot to say about his style of skating, the way his lines flow and his likeable personality. He’s got great sponsors imo and I really fuck with his NB 440s. Idk, maybe I’m just a sucker for gritty UK skating.

What are you smoking?

ishod is not fun to watch at all and his style is boring

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjXrN_A78nI I thought you might enjoy this, this is Trung Nguyen's old youtube channel. The link is his AP US History rap. He also has skate clips posted
Calus
is there any type of discord available?
Jensen Parsons
what is ur opinion in the growth of your type of skate YouTube content, if people tried to make content somewhat similar to what you make, in the spirit of appreciation for it, how would u feel?
Jensen Parsons
considering Southbank is a street spot that evolved into a park, is it offensive to use for parts ?
Chase
Should I buy an indo board to help my manny game?
nzcitizen

skatemoss last try hat actually exists.
Edgar Quintana
thoughts on the smash bros copies (nick , warner bros games etc)
Draaake.e
Hot take the people who interviewed you on jenkem were annoying and bad at giving interviews and the name of they’re podcast is dumb. Naming a podcast “ok next try” is not that far removed from a hat that says yewww on it.
PapaJords
who is Edgelord of the year
Micah Omura
Thoughts on magenta boards?
bruhmode88
What is your favourite clip you did in 2021?
switchmongoiscorny
creature vid was gnarly but boring
Gabriel Naranjo
Im sure you’ve answered something like this before, but do you have a favorite video part of all time? Full Length or solo part
smooth.brain.takes
Andrew Allen underrated?
centar_rick
This my favorite trick but ur not wrong
Chris Bryant
Banish the casual flatground fakie flip in lines. Aside from a select few, they’re typically pretty lazy and thoughtless
Benjamin Coyle
Street BMX is just as cool and difficult as skateboarding.
Tiarnan Gardiner
Have you met or do you think you'll meet max palmer any time soon it seems like it's bound to happen with you being friends with nelly morville
Osmosis
What do you eat for breakfast before a day of skating
Alex Prinzbach
Thank you friend
Fim
Do you ever feel burnt out on watching skate videos when you want to enjoy a video by yourself because you are watching skatevideos for 2h on stream and doing part reviews for Patreon that prob take ages?
Matthew

Unrelated to skating: Do you listen to the comedian Tim Dillon? He has a producer on his video/audio podcast that reminds me of you. His name is Ben. Big 2021 love 💪💛
felonyclique
Ben Kadow is underrated
dylan DeMille
Thoughts on the mason Silva soty trip vid and will you review it?
the Boy with the Black Dog
Also, I feel pretty much the same about Ace as you did in your review and they're currently my favorite truck out. I really want to try Lurpiv 149s though (mainly because of weight and stability) and as someone who made the switch I'm curious what you think so far
King Harvest
And as an add on - does a video part need to end with a banger? There was a pretty good major part this week that I felt ended weak, but the part itself was really great.
King Harvest
In the mark suciu vids you criticized him a lot for having filler, or tricks that were easy for him. Even a great part can have filler in it. Interesting spot, good style, or even just to fill time. So… what do you think about filler overall? Does every part need to be amazing? Asking this as I watch Dyaln’s minefield part.
Nate 'skate' Meyer
Video Recommendation: Zoo York EST 2.0. Haha not looking for a review, I just hope you’ll watch it. My first and favorite video. I think you’ll love it! Charles lamb baby. Happy holidays!
the Boy with the Black Dog
I don't know if this take is really hot or not but I hate that 720p camera. I'd rather see iPhone footage. It's the worst of both worlds of HD and 4x3 filming
Corbin Willson
Who are your biggest youtuber influences? Skateboarding, video games, comedies, etc.
Barefoot Bomber
Getting sponsored is overrated, after all you can’t go to the liquor store and pay for a beer with a new set of skate wheels.
yungmongo
Rank: pancakes, french toast, waffles
Chapo
Getting rid of Cyril from baker for Zach was a bad move
centar_rick
Probably kind of a cold take, but the threshold for whats considered worthy of filming has significantly decreased over the last 8 years or so. Part of the cherry effect I guess. I don't know, for example, I was re-watching the Noah Jolie Rogue video the other day, and kids like Kyota and Coles definitely show promise, but to me it feels kind of pre mature to include their front 50-50 combo clips in a video on that level. Their clips paired with the likes of Troy Gipson and Bobby D just looked kind of silly by comparison to me.
centar_rick
This is a good take
Zach N
When did you start skating and why was life of ryan your favorite tv show as a wee lad?
Micah Omura
What’s your board set up?
professional loaf of bread
Limosine copied the melodi font; also why no melodi vid? Those guys are dope
Benjamin Saunders
how’d you and your girlfriend meet, why the no Comply hate when you’ve done one in a past clip and what tricks do you think not enough people learn that everyone should know
Alex Prinzbach
The SOTY standard Mason Silva and Suciu set these past two years has begun the “Oscars-ification” of the SOTY award. A priority has now been set on pandering to critics and viewers as opposed to creating quality pieces of media.
Jacob M Hibbeln
I believe this crosses into the purposefully inflammatory realm rather than a hot take.
Jacob M Hibbeln
Thoughts on the chocolate vid?
Kent Ishijima
What are your thoughts on Corey Kennedy's return to skateboarding? Personally, I feel that if it wasn't for his skills, career, and reputation as a pro skater, Corey Kennedy would have been shunned from skateboarding. He may have paid his debts to society by serving his time but I don't think he deserves his spot back into the spotlight. He killed Pstone and we shouldn't act like it never happened.
Robert Deckard
Is baggy pants overplayed at this point, I see people with shit that is way to big and just looks goofy, obviously if you have style its still cool but I see like normies and non skaters wearing it so much now
Triston Mendoza-Werner
Ish Cepeda is more 90s, and does it way better than TJ Rogers. What did you think of Joey O'Brien's [untitled] part? Opinion on Austyn Gillette?
John L
Not expecting everyone to agree haha. I will also say, max palmers Willy was better than all of kyotas
Edward Calamia
2022 predictions
Cameron Kosak
Watched some of ur old footy from ur friend colins channel when u were 16 and damn you have always been really good have you ever/do u have hopes of being sponsored by anyone? Even if not, what company would you like to get board flows from the most?
Cameron Kosak
Now this is too hot of a take for me
joey t
what's gonna be post-hate? for you and for society at large, will it ever end and what's next?
MarriedMuzyNowYouCanCallMeKamalaBinSalami
thoughts on Animal Crossing?
Edward Calamia
I tried skating for fun once but it sucked.
John L
Kyota is overrated and does willies as a crutch bc he can’t keep up with the more talented sk9ers
Davis Campbell
Favourite ams? Rowan Davis is one of mine
Louis
crocs go bonkers
Edgar Quintana
tryhards sometimes ruin the vibe of a skatepark or sesh
David Barrera
How do you feel about the mindless drones copying all of your opinions on yt comment sections etc
Phi Moreno
Looks make style
chaosisme
Soz if this has been asked before but what music do you listen to predominantly and do you play an instrument yourself?
Phi Moreno
We are all essentially cosplaying as our favorite skaters
robotbrian
Any Scientology related content 🥺
Bruce F80
In addition, what games have you been playing lately?
Cole
Backside flip el Toro?
CarharttFinalBoss
Wearing chunky DC’s and unnecessarily baggy track pants should be referred to as Kalis Cosplay
Bruce F80
400DPI + low mouse sensitivity is inherently better than high DPI/high mouse sensitivity. wrist aimers have godawful aim in FPS games
Caleb Fisher
corey duffles board company adored. What are your thoughts on it? Personally I’m not a huge fan I think some of the art is kinda ripped off (I.e. krooked eyes and nirvana tongue).
felonyclique
Same exact thought
Clean Beans
When are you setting up a hater discord
swandadd
What music are you into/listen to, and do you have a dream song you’d wanna put in a skate part
Rhys
Fugitive light was sick but where's the solo gifted hater video part?
