good:
scooter beef
Lux
Tilt 2*
Specific mention to Jordan, Jona, Issac, Tom for having the gnarliest parts I've watched.
Sex changes
people putting time into videos
cool apparel
tucked in shirts
bleached hair
22s becoming the norm
Bad:
People still arguing about street or park
Australia is still fairly isolated in terms of getting scooter parts and content.
kids
music choices still largely suck for videos.
people still riding decks or bars that are far too big for them**
bad riding photos***
swagways
jack mccann (fuck he is boring to watch + a shit cunt)
Wezma
social media
*So glad Tilt stepped up and put one person in control to oversee the production of the video. Was leaps and bounds above Tilt 1 in terms of everything.
Tilt 1 had good riding and some good visuals but the song choices (basically all instrumental/seemed rushed) and editing was pretty poor.
in that behind the scenes/interview seemed like Dylan really put time into making sure everything was right or perfect and it shows.
**people can ride whatever deck or bar dimensions they want but it's funny seeing people (Kovu kids especially) having the bars up to their chest and decks that are taller than they are. Reminds me of those 4 year olds that skate 32 x 8.5 skateboards and are nearly doing the splits to stand on bolts.
***goddamn do people still take shit photos and get praised for them. Chris Martin for Tilt is probably a better photographer than most in the industry but I swear he still doesn't get that many great shots.
I wish somebody made a quartersnacks for scooters
I back this idea but it'd be shit. our culture is awful and our main demographic is 12-16 year olds who take shit too serious.
QS works because it's aimed at an older demographic plus skateboarding has a larger, diverse and just all round better culture.
