If you actually skate you tend to know these things before the people who hopped on it because so and so was wearing it. Rihanna Drake and Jay have always been trend hoppers
Dawg beside my old ass....like only five people on here actually skateboard. Lol. Everyone else here is late to the party.

Btw...i see shawn powers around the city from time to time...cool dude, probably besides him lucien clarke and chewy cannon the best on that team. Lol.

Ive skated at les coleman with alex olson and the gonz too. :banderas:

So what do you want these rappers to do?:stopitslime:
You must have threw your bape out because you thought the trend died but it came back now you're mad :mjlol:
The few pieces I own I will cherish till my death:stopitslime:
I still want that DBZ collab and the cudi one too. Reselling for 250 on eBay :mjcry:

Skating culture is not bigger than hip hop lol
Ummm....yes it is. It generates millions more than the hip hop industry. You forget how many people buy skate gear from zumiez or pacsun, the x games, street league, thrasher, transworld skateboarding, skate shoes companies from dc to circa to huf, endorsements, videogames, skate demos, youtubes, skateparks, and thats just the past ten years alone...im not even gonna talk about 2005 and prior.

I started skating all the way in 1990 at the age of five so its no hate...im just saying.

Currently Al Davis on GX1000 is dope. But of all time? Probably Keenan Milton, Kareem Campbell, Sal Barbier, or Ray Barbee.
I think I'm Kareem Campbell cause I never switch:wow:
I fukk with Keelan Dadd the Switch God too. And Theotis seems like a real cool guy not to mention he filthy on the board. Black skaters highkey coming up man. I remember in middle school everybody wanted to be Antwuan Dixon or Terry Kennedy, now we taking over the game:blessed:
Not to mention young Nyjah been showed em who really bout this skating shyt:smugfavre:

Palace has been rocked by hodgy beats and asap rocky anx ferg since like 2012. Thats where everybody got on that. And its a skateboarding company first and foremost...not a streetwear brand. They focus more on making videos with their team.

They just did the online thing for a while then pop ups in la, ny, and london....then the palace x adidas collabs....now they got their own store in London (where the Palace hrand originated.)
why be mad that people are hopping on Palace though breh. wouldn't you want the people who created a brand you like to be successful? some of those adidas collab pieces are dope

Cause a lot of the time when brands get successful too fast they forget what got them there. They stop being ambitious and just stick to the usual formulas. So they end up becoming parodies of themselves
