his career lasted a decade longer than it should have.
he was boring in 07 for fucks sake
he should feel super lucky to have forgettable skating and not a shred of marketable personality last that long.
Julian is far to nice to want to punch you in the mouth for this.
However, I am not that nice... and would very much like to punch you in the mouth for this comment.
Being unproblematic or overtly hateable is a crime in slap land. He didn’t even have guitar b roll or a Morrisey shirt for us to make fun of , what a boring monster!
Nah Julian is sick. It’s interesting emerica and deathwish made the moves they did and so little else. I’d wager he’s just not marketable to kids? But like people fucking loving Jake Hayes and he’s just modern brophy. I think Julian just didn’t have the gimmick to sell like Hayes and neen. And as much as I love John Dickson I’m pretty sure he only sells boards like cause 60% people think it’s an antwuan model.
I’m guessing Neen’s gimmick is his heel flips, what do you think Haye’s is? I can’t really think of one, unless you are referring to massive pop as a gimmick?
Yeah the massive pop. The whole dude can literally Ollie a small dumpster thing. I think he’s got great style and at least a decent bag of tricks but regular not slap people I meet just focus on the huge pop. It’s no neen I can only do heel flips and talk about sobriety gimmick but it’s definitely notable.
You can’t be seriously saying that having massive pop is a gimmick?
I mean when you're mostly doing lines of simple tricks that are popped really high it absolutely is I think. That's not to say he can't/doesn't do anything gnarly but everything I see from him these days is mostly lines with tall grinds and ollies over trash cans, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough
