that turban looks sikh though, dude still stylin.

[Peepeeboy69]

i think the pj turban looks weird but he's not calling attention to it or anything. I would not classify as some faux humble shit

[HombreezysShittyPasta]

Less these days because he got used to it and is sort of past the indoctrination point but he used to post a decent amount of kooky ao type of shit sitting around with other dudes wearing turbans and yogi this and that. Idk lol its like saying you wouldnt notice a dude skating in a top hat with half a rabbit sticking out

Pretty much all of them are too try-hard for my taste, but the "politically conscious" subculture that popped up during Trump is particularly bad. I'm talking both sides of it too, from the "dead babies in the vaccines cause autism" idiots to Koston & Jim T making "Trump's racist" boards, it's all uneducated pseudo-intellectual garbage from highschool drop outs. They're trying to tackle a subject they're completely ignorant of, and I'd rather they stuck to skateboarding.

Seriously, I follow skateboarding to get away from the monotony of the news cycle, and I'd rather that skateboarding be the one thing that doesn't become tainted from the back and forth nonsense of relentlessly streamed fodder...

Politics have nothing to do with self reflection, it's quite the opposite, actually.

I'm saying I don't like it, but I'm not saying they shouldn't do whatever they want. Unlike you guys, I'd rather just choose not to indulge when they market some shit I don't like & hope the rest of skateboarding follows suit, subsequently stopping as a result. I guess I'm not the only one who wasn't feeling it, especially considering that Numbers is still sitting on a fuck ton of those boards and they're pretty much out of business, that's the way the market lets people know that their ideas suck in the best way possible..

[IUTSM]

I don't hang out/skate with enough people to hate any subculture and other than the videos I watched as a kid and rewatch now, SLAP is pretty much the only skateboarding media I consume, so I can't get on the true hate train, but I get tripped up seeing people (not just skateboarders) like 25 and under wearing clothes that look they were stolen from some 90s gap ad or something- almost grunge looking but probably really expensive. Fake work clothes.  I see these girls wearing mumus and shit like my fat ass wheel chair bound great grandmother wore while she was ripping butts and heckling neighborhood kids for walking while black. Look, I'm tattooed as a motherfucker and used to get my ass whipped for being a punk or whatever and looking like an idiot, and I've been wearing pretty much the same style clothes for half my life now, so I'm tuned into the notion of wearing what you like because it makes you feel right and helps identify with your group, but the stupid fashion for the sake of fashion, no culture whatsoever other than what is marketed on the BIG marketing level bums me out, especially when its ugly as fuck.

I hate the SE bike kids that skated for a year but now just do wheelies in the parking lot and try to out number people in a fights.

😂 do you live in Hayward?

Lol, damn. That what hits home.

To be fair, not everyone has an aunt to live with. I tried to go live with family and my shitty mother wouldn't allow it.

Best Trump graphic ever was an Antihero Trujillo that came out while Trump was still in the primaries for the 2016 election.

It’s a picture of Shiva holding Trumps severed head, wearing a necklace of GOP leaders, standing on burning cop cars and severing a drone in two with one of her arms.

I have it on my wall and it always makes me smile.
