My self-worth is now damaged.
There’s also a chick with sleeve tatts with the icons incorporated…
I was just noticing how those snap-brim caps seem to be part of the look.
There’s a place I know where the hipsters go, it’s BEDROCK. Twitch, twitch
THE SKATEBOARD IS JUST A TOY…
NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE REMEMBER THAT IN NO WAY DOES SKATEBOARDING OWE YOU SH!T!
At least the designers are learning – they used a board with trucks that have grinded something and the wheels have actually rolled on the ground before 😉 In Germany we still get tv ads with kids riding skateboards without griptape!
Every detail of this image has been over-thought and scrutinized. Ethnicity, age, sex, glasses, hat, necklace (and how much of it should be visible) and I’m sure there were multiple rounds of revisions and conference calls with like 12 people who make a pretty good amounts of money debating how degraded all of those logo/icons on the board should be. But no one ever holds a skateboard like that. Yes I’m in advertising and it’s totally stupid.
Actually I’ve seen worse ways of holding a skateboard.
If I was asked to stop and pose for a picture with my skateboard,I’d hold it the same(for a few seconds)………only to show the graphics,stickers or whatever message I want to show!
Looks like there is a gap with the lower wheel,like the nut is not tightened.
In your theory they must have tried different colors of wheels.
I’m just interested in what brand shirt that is.
