Why is street more popular than vert, freestyle, or slalom? How did it take off? Also – were boards designed around street tricks or did people adapt tricks to the boards?

everyone can skate street, very few can afford a vert ramp or pool
Ive got a really good question! who was the first person to actually do a trick on film down the Carlsbad Gap? and I dont mean the small one either.
Did board design affect tricks? don’t you mean effect?
Hi RadRat, I am pretty sure that I saw the Vision Double Kick deck first in early 1989. The Mike Vallely came later in the same year, but Vision was clearly the first in my mind. They had an ad in Thrasher magazine that said “Think About It” and it showed a picture of the amazing profile of a double kick deck. This was extremely cutting edge. At the time I thought this idea was very functional, but the deck was too ugly. Then, the Vallely Barnyard deck came out and it was absolutely beautiful. All the kids wanted the Barnyard deck and nobody wanted the vision deck, even though the World Industries wood was extremely fragile at the time and the decks would barely last a couple of days.
What do you think of Welcome and shaped boards?
Can you do a video diving into your views on balance boards?
Third reason, I think, and the main one for me, is that street brings out a load of more options, creativity, imagination… There’s something pretty cool about taking something that was made for one purpose and transforming it into a completely new possibility.
also one thing that changed was that vert skated 15 in wheel base and street was 14
I always thought street was cooler because the obstacles we hit are not made for skateboarding. That’s why nobody likes to put park footage in their video parts. It’s cooler to make something out of a spot that was not made for skateboarding than it is to do a harder trick on something that was designed to do skateboard tricks on.
Street has a great appeal cause you can just go out and shred, however i feel like a big part of why people dont dabble in vert is because they are scared of getting badly hurt
if you’re skating vert, why don’t u just go to a skate park
do nuts and bolts really matter
Hi RadRat, what was the first griptape company and why are bigspin reverts so unpopular?
its the helmet and pad wearing in vert that makes it uncool
and also accessibility as you mentioned
Could you do an episode on The Board Accesories from the late 70s and eighties? such as Rails, Tail Bones, nose bones, lappers, and copers. I love old school skating, my first board was a reissue vision psycho stick. I would like to know more on these things such as when/how they became a thing, what they are for, and why people stopped using them. thank you
What is exactly a Half cab impossible and why is unpopular?
when educating your followers on deck shapes, technically World Industries and Mike V didnt develop the first double kick board, it was actually Vision with the V-6 concave mold. Apparently Rocco bought it from a guy at Vision for like $4,000 somewhere around ’88-’89 and thats why World gets the credit, but it was really Vision who pioneered the double kick board.
why are red top ply boards believed to bring “bad luck” to the skater ?
thanks for the answer Aron! always informative.
I think you said you were working on this topic, but how did nollie come to have opposite BS and FS from all the other stances?
Who is deer man of dark woods?
do you know of any skateboarders that have a purposely sloppy/ugly style? and why does everyone hate ollie souths?
Yeah when vert skating was the thing to do. skating was still considered nerdy or weird. Which is another way to state what you said :p
water bottle bitch fill it
we build a half pipe with no money atall in scotland thats what the whole vet scene was build on suas teaxas jeff phillips
#askradrat should you care about the skate trends?
Maybe, it is a more personal question.
*But how did skateboarding find you, and what was your motivation to keep going?*
What is the effect of concavity on skateboards? I’ve always wondered since I’ve noticed more people riding super mellow compared to when I first started and concave was like a trench.
