Hopefully those Huf Dylan slip-ons fit more like the Gravis ones (true to size). I tried on the lace-ups and had to go up a full size but then they felt like clown shoes because there was so much room in the toes.
Guess I should go try them on in a store and support the local scene if I do...
I thought the Howard 2s were great except for the fact that they had zero ventilation. Seemed odd considering Rick would talk about having to use a lot of Desenex or whatever because of athlete's foot. Have athlete's foot but design a shoe that is a sweatbox?
The old Huf mids on DVS were pretty...
Busenitz, Gerwer and Manderson in Hawaii!!!
Also, if you like Jeff Grosso's "Letters to Skateboarding" series, Tommy Guererro started a new series where he talks about old skate stuff too!
BS with TG
Not paying attention to BATB but 2up is back! Seems like Daewon is out but Sebo Walker is...
So Chris Cole is on Plan B now. Not feelin' this commercial at all. What's up with all the forced celebration for a f/s bluntslide on a ledge?
In other news about people switching to lame teams, Westgate is on Element now. Lateral move since Zoo has been a shell of what it used to be for years.
The intro song from last year was the worst. If anything it made people hate the song.
Louie Barletta has to have the best SOTY video so far. Not even gonna watch Nyjah's or Torey's. I can't deny the skill but I'm not a fan of their type of skating.
Westgate has a pretty good one too.
Video proof of Westgate's crazy boardslide.
Almost makes up for them trying to make the KOTR videos all overproduced and making these Berrics-y SOTY "contender" videos?
Missed out on the Berrics having "Wet Dream" up for Thanksgiving but if you go to SLAP forums, there's a link that still works. Worth it if you want to see Rick Howard and Gino Iannucci footage. A lot of other cool guest skaters too. Definitely feels weird though to see Gino as the focus of a...
Anti Hero surprise video!
If it's "not available in your country", figure it out.
It's pretty much the "anti Plan B video". Just comes out of nowhere and kills it! Maybe I should wait until I've seen the Plan B video but, come on, they've been talking about it for YEARS! It would have to be...
From what reports I heard, he tried it but did not land it.
Grant Taylor pro shoe video. Shot on film so there's no skating sounds. If they had to add sound/music in, I would have preferred that they used audio without that annoying hissing. Probably less noticeable if you don't wear headphones.
Just read about it on the SLAP forums. I'm in no rush to see the video now. No parts from PJ, Danny, or Colin? I'll forgive Danny and Colin because they're old and have had several crazy parts over their career. No PJ part is pretty unforgivable though. Kinda lost interest in him post-WHL...
A short amazing video is better than a long video that makes you want to skip parts of just get to the amazing tricks. Skits only work if done well. The DGK video had way too much filler. The re-edited version was so much better!
Isn't it odd that a Plan B board is made from Canadian wood...
The Wes x Tyler part is on their YouTube channel now too! Ridiculous!
The Boss getting tech on KOTR!
Sadly, the 4th and final part of the Chocolate Epicly Later'd is up now. Can we just stop paying attention to Pops already? MJ pretty much put a lot of these whiny milkin' it pros on blast...
Chocolate part 3 - Kenny Anderson and Evan Hecox
Louie's part might still be up on Thrasher's site! frontside half cab front-foot impossible in a line? Early grab wallride on a handrail? Too many gnarly "dork tricks" to remember.
PHAMO, we're definitely showing our age if we're psyched on the HUF Classics looking like Vans Agahs for sure! :D
Just checked out the average prices of those and the Dylans in Japan and they're at least twice as much!!! Nike All Courts (in my size) are around $100 also. Maybe they'll both be...
I guess having a surfer on HUF makes sense financially since even though they don't wear shoes while surfing, people wear clothes regardless of if they actually do a sport/activity. Regardless of how many kooky non-core people wear DC, DVS, or Etnies, they still make good shoes, no? However...
Phone interview with Jason Dill confirming that Gino approached him to get on. I'm gonna believe whoever summarized it on SLAP since I'm not trying to listen to Dill rambling for an hour. Why does phone sound quality still suck so bad in 2014 anyway?
I'm not holding my breath that Gino or...
