kanen's still pushin' it

[thesignguy]

I would put Demz, Magic, DJ Adam, Pawn and a few others ahead of anyone on BKS as far as being influential. Even Clay I think came up with the mid trick switch stance glitch haha

besides southy is far better with the stix than Kanen in my eyes

can't deny that. But they did represent what was realistic for many people I think. I mean Demz and all those other guys are influential and all, but I personally have never seen them like kanen or anyone else from bks, because I was just more into the realistic stuff.. It's true that they're arrogant pricks, but I don't really care, because imo they pushed realistic skating, without kanen or innout, I would've never thought of popovers or dub grinds like smith-feebs.. I'm not saying they were the first ones to do that stuff, but for many people like me, they were the first ones to show.

thats the thing, they've never represented the community. of all the truly influential people from this community, they are the only ones who have tricked people into liking them. people like Demz have never had to claim to be someone else to get noticed, thats why his name gets used in other peoples tags on youtube, because he really has had an effect on skate. but they use manipulation to get people to like their stuff.

did they ever say they represented the skate community like albert does? I've never seen them do that. (I started following them just before s2 came out so I might've missed some things in the early days.) I don't see the fact that they tricked people into liking their stuff.. I saw a couple of montages of them and I loved 'em, I never connected them to ea or black box..

This is the truth!

heres the thing SK8ERatWAR, before they became "the realistic" team there old videos consisted of them doing crazy unrealistic gaps and other things. but they have erased all those videos, they copied people styles and ultimately became the team you see. they named their youtube account EAskateTv so that kids would assume they were developer/ publisher videos and would never correct kids when asked if they had anything to do with the game.

if you like their vids thats fine, i just think you should know the shady shit they have done to get recognized, including making false accounts

I enjoyed the video, I liked his Fashionbly late one better though.

Interchangeable? I don't know, I thought they all had their own style, at least in s2. It's the small details that seperated them from each other, these details could be found in:
- landing
- type of tricks
- filming
Especially Bob Saget.

And even if they were interchangeable, very few of us were/are able to do the lines performed by Kanen and very few are able to create an edit like innout - I'm 99% sure of that. I really think the difficulty of some things BKS has done, whether it's the tricks they did or a certain vibe they've created around their videos, is being underestimated by some people. But then again, it's all about one's opinion (and people should stop trying to objectivy theirs, imo!).
I'm not saying we should dickride GK/BKS like Linny.

[NotedDerk]

We are the 1%!

[Fecal Face]

So much OG arguing right now haha.

Both Innout and Kanen make S1 look gangster as fuck. Clean-ass stylish tricks. Can't argue with that.

i was pretty much going to say something like this so instead i'll just quote it.

i enjoyed the video a lot and i'm glad to see someone can still find new things to do in OG.

Southy invented the sticks, and he took them away..

[Roccityroller]

They seem interchangeable because its one person dressing up differently and making a 'team', we've proven this in S2.

There's nothing "special" about linny's edits either. There's a lot of other editors on here that have done much more powerful and inventive stuff than he ever has and to say that nobody can come close to that is nonsensical.

When I said "an edit like innout's" I wasn't talking about "1337 editing sk1llZ". I meant the vibe he managed to create around a couple of videos was rather unique and can't be compared other edits. I like his vision.

Really, this discussion is getting old. Let's focus on the video that was posted here.

Whatever happened to DJAdam? And what Southie does is almost not fair, he could probably do one continuously for a video and I'd be entertained yet jealous of him being able to do it. Plus VHS is so much better than ABD in my eyes for that simple point that has been brought up that it's almost the same parts in ABD. Which ironically gives it an appropriate name.

So TNO is everyone role model.

That's a lot of pressure!

Fuck this thread!

Bump!

Hate me!

Suck It!
