Summarize the movie first: the
plot is very good, and the character of each character is very real. There are the jealousy of Uncle Surfing, the selfishness of Stacy, the vanity of Tony, the don't give a shit of Jay, who is handsome and who is good for girls, and who is rich and who is good for women... The
story is also very real, History is a mirror. Take a look at the current skaters. For example, Nyjah Huston left the element skateboard team to create his own brand. He died and finally returned to element. It's really like Stacy in the movie. What Blabla skateboard team was, and later created its own brand, but I don’t know if it died.
In the end, I looked quite disappointed, and went to different things, thinking of the feeling of "Chinese Partner". There is a rift in brotherhood, skateboard to make up for it.
Talking about skateboarding:
Skateboarding is basically divided into two categories: street and cruiser.
Cruiser (they skateboard): In a broad sense, skateboard is now called cruiser or penny board. In China, it is called small fish board. It’s no longer an old school. Young Americans use the cruiser as a means of transportation. Most of the longboards are also called cruisers. The wheels made from petroleum are very soft, and they are also used by cruisers. Street-style wheels are not used.
Street: Chinese can be regarded as double curling, or single curling, as long as you can ollie. Nowadays, all bowls and pools use street-style boards; U-pools use street-style boards; the super steep slope of Air Drop Down, and the big high platforms are also street-style boards. Street-style board must be used for street-style.
Open ESPN, X-Games has roughly four competitions each year, U pool, super high platform, bowl pool, and street style. All use street skateboards. So the skateboard used in the movie has become a thing of the past, and there are many actions that are not available in the competition. In addition to X-Games, there is also a dedicated Street League focusing on street style, and Berrics focusing on flat ground.
Today’s X-Games competition in Austin is just over. The super high platform gold medal is a 14-year-old child. In fact, every year for so many years, children have won the championship, and then they took skateboarding as a career. Then they opened their own brand, sold a few boards, sold shoes, and commercial. Once, got hurt, and finally got behind the scenes. Sheckler won a lot of championships when he was a child, and so did Huston.
After talking for a long time, what is street skateboarding? It's like this in the movie, street skating, but now the streets of the United States are much crazier than they were in the 70s. For example, ollie down a dozen floors of stairs; a dozen floors of handrails, slide up and down with movements; on a platform on the road, you can slide up with any movement. To be honest, it is more dangerous than in the movie, and the injuries suffered are even worse.
Magazine:
The skateboard magazine in the movie should basically be seen now in Transworld Skate Magazine, and Thrasher Magazine.
Wearing:
The skateboard in the 70s was very rocky, punk, and long hair. Skateboarding in the 80s and 90s was hip hop style. They were all fat pants. Now I feel very awkward. The skaters now wear normal clothes, but everyone wears a snapback hat.
Shoes:
I don't know who originated the word sneakers . China has been selling sneakers for so many years without telling everyone that they are exclusively for skateboarding. Just like now everyone wears sneakers, which translates into sneakers, and how many play football.
Skateboarding belongs to the street. Many skate parks in the United States are like cages, which restrict freedom. However, the more they are, the more skaters will go to the streets. The Municipal Square is not allowed to slip, so I want to go. Can the fun of indoor cycling compare to free cycling outside? Come back to the street, like the original, fuck all the competitions
.
P.S. I want to see how the bowls in the movie slide now? Search for the video of Grant Taylor, which is more representative, watch his SOTY issue. BTW, he won the silver medal in the bowl at X-Games today.
To see what the street style is like now, search for Nyjah Huston's video and watch the issue of Fade to black. BTW, he won the street-style gold medal at X-Games today.
There are no videos in the cruiser category that are more exciting. If you want to watch it, search for longboard videos. I think they are all more literary and artistic types.
If you want to watch the purely technical street-style search battle at the berrics, you can watch the fifth issue and the sixth issue.
