death_grips•death of 4xl tall t, cork blunt steez


big clothes have been dead.

And I think a quad will be the winning trick in big air X games if the jump allows for it.

And there will be a thread: Vishnu messed up.

And people will keep windmilling their arms.

Seeing as Saga has really diversified their offerings to women, and people looking for real technical outerwear offerings? I doubt it. They have a solid product.

my predictions are for us folk in the Midwest (mainly Wisconsin)

1. is that well get a shit ton of snow in December, it all melts in a week and resorts in the southern parts struggle to stay open, it will snow a little but also rain on and off and well get lake affect snow storm in towards the end of the season

2. Winter comes late and doesn't until late December

I wish i lived in Colorado, im tired of the weather in wisconsin

Chubz.Why?


I think they seem to be going down a more corperate route and taking up a more refined style, moving away from what made the park community like them first of all. When jiberish did a similar thing there was a massive backlash. Like I'm euro so I'm only looking at it from a distance through social media and that so I may of mis-read things. Not dragging on them, I respect them as a company and own a couple of pieces, but I think maybe their market will begin to shift from park skiers to a more general market.

I think it's more that Saga is becoming significantly bigger than they used to be. More people own it now, so the popularity with people who want to stand out from the crowd is decreasing.

saga became cool to hate last year, they've stepped away from the shitty color patterns tho and I'll probably start buying them again, best price/performance ratio ive found imo.

jiberish is definitely meh now tho, bought a 3xl field jacket in the recent sale and was kinda dissapointed the largest size they make is like 32 inches now.

I just bought a field jacket as well and tried it on today and it fits a lot smaller compared to the team jacket I ordered and other various garments but I know where you're coming from. I at least have street wear for once, but sad that Jiberish is going into that sort of direction as they have been for a while

No one will get any snow and we'll realize we fucked up with global warming so it's too late so we all turn to rollerblading.

My only prediction is that next winter will be a repeat of this past winter for the East Coast, like I just want there to be a pow day on the east coast next winter that will be just like Winter Storm Stella, or even top the storm totals from Stella.

gopnikyes please


if anything, that's made a comeback. it was alllll rap in the 2000s for a while and then a very refreshing trend came about that brought other types of music in edits into popularity. now we see them a lot again but it's way more variety than it used to be

Some big names will blow up from the EC. Can't make specific claims just yet but some of the edits I've seen this year make me believe in the serious potential over here.

Just taking Masi for example, shits crazy how big he got in just a year.
