Skateboarding, Taco Bell and alt rock. This is peak 1990s. Next we’ll get Brendan as a secret character in THPS 5 or 6 or whatever they’re up to.

You loosers and your purposely making it a great effort to call TS "alt rock" is some man child b.s. ngl lol... "oh no, they made some catchy music, better make sure i let everyone know i dont think theyre a HxC band anymore" 🙄

u/Boot_Poetry 4d ago

The man still drummed in TUI, respect!

u/dex0624 3d ago

why has it become a crime to call an alternative rock album alternative rock, you people are almost as annoying as r/emo

it’s okay for a band to shift their sound they’re still a great band

u/Spiritual-Cap-4647 4d ago

Losers*

u/asshatjabroni 3d ago

I think he means loosers as in loose butt holes

u/SITHxEMPIRE 2d ago

Why is an issue to call them what they currently are? It doesn’t diminish their identity, where they’ve been, or their contributions. Never understood being bothered by that.

u/averagemaleuser86 2d ago

Their new album isnt alt rock lmao. People will do this purposely for the reason I mentioned above. Just pointing out its like... "toxic hardcority" if I had put a word to it lol. Just enjoy the band, or not, and not go out of your way to make it a point to let everyone know you wont label them hxc anymore because they made a new album with like less than half of the songs being hardcorish and more being punkish/experimental. Just seems childish

1

u/SITHxEMPIRE 2d ago

No. This is childish. You can’t accept change and just write it off as people picking on your favorite band. You wouldn’t call AFI a hardcore band still, would you? Would you call Paramore emo or pop punk based on sounds they haven’t done for more than a decade? Turnstile is a hardcore band in the sense of their roots and community, but their sound is alt rock, thus alt rock band. I’ve been listening to them since 2011. It’s okay if they’re an alt rock band.

A song off Turnstiles new album in the new Skate. No secret character but still cool to hear when skating around

u/CrustCollector 4d ago

Pulaski ledges ain’t no joke.

u/TotalImmortalOne 4d ago

I remember him saying they started turnstile from just them hanging out skating together

u/Frequent_Hope8416 4d ago

Pretty sick ngl

u/LossyP NJHC 4d ago

Dudes 35 btw. I know that isn’t old, but I’m 33 and can’t imagine skating the way I used to. Good for him

u/DeLousedInTheHotBox not actually a mars volta fan 4d ago

If it makes you feel any better I couldn't skate that well at 18, mostly because I can't skateboard at all, but still.

14

u/rnf1985 4d ago

Tony hawk is almost 60 and still skates

u/Seangw1102 4d ago

I'm 30 and really want to learn to skate, but I've already broken an ankle once so I'm too scared I'll fuck myself up trying to learn 😅

7

u/craggadee 3d ago

I learned at like 38, I coast around with my kid and it's the best thing ever.

Main thing is to take it easy, you don't have to hit gnarly jumps and roll your ankles trying to kickflip. I get most of my enjoyment out of just navigating the street and hitting chilled hills.

5

u/doveworld 4d ago

Nah, you should do it. Even just learn how to coast around and how to go up/down the ramps at the park and stuff. It's really fun and a super good reason to get outside.

5

u/Beginning_Beach_2054 4d ago

Anything after 30 on a skateboard is incredibly impressive. Signed a 45 year old and everything hurts.

3

u/lilounce187 4d ago

im 24 and went skating recently and simply cant fathom what i used to do

2

u/dbwoi 3d ago

I’m 34 and skated for like 20 years. It’s been a while for me but stuff like this is manageable if you aren’t injury prone and stay reasonably fit lol.

12

u/IhateDropShotz 215 4d ago

Ran into Franz (the bassist) at a skatepark around ten years ago, in the Nonstop Feeling era. Dude was ripping.

36

u/BrownWallyBoot 4d ago

Sick, yet there are still people in this sub who don’t skate or play in bands calling this dude a poser or a sell out lol

8

u/Solid_Initial7897 4d ago

No idea he also was legit skater. Sick!

u/_ThugzZ_Bunny_ 4d ago

Basically the whole band shreds. Like they could hold their own in a pro am contest.

1

u/TomDalom 2d ago

For real? Had no idea. That’s rad. I guess on the road it’s a hobby that travels just about as good as anything.

14

u/Jackielegs43 4d ago

Rad as hell

u/Eoin_McLove 4d ago

I’ve always wondered, do skaters use photos from failed trick attempts?

The pictures would presumably look pretty much the same, but I know skaters can be a prideful bunch.

13

u/bickles_cab 4d ago

Sometimes they do. You'll see a pic in a magazine and then you'll watch it in their video part and they'll be wearing a different t-shirt or something.

7

u/thrillAM 4d ago

If they made the trick in that session, sure. Can be hard to tell exactly which shots were the successful attempt. If they didn't get the make, no way.

3

u/beef_boloney 4d ago

Plus even if you know it wasn't the make the picture just might be better and reflect the trick better

8

u/bda22 4d ago edited 4d ago

its unethical to run a photo of a trick if you didnt land it.

but it is okay to use a photo of one of the bails if the angle or light or pose or framing or whatever is better than the landed photo

4

u/Eoin_McLove 4d ago

So you can use pictures of failed attempts if you eventually landed it (rule of cool applies) but ideally you would use a photo of a successful attempt?

3

u/bda22 4d ago edited 4d ago

yeah "rule of cool" is a good way to put it. make the photo look as good or as cool as possible - as long as, at the end of the day, you can say you landed the trick

8

u/TheFuzzyFace 4d ago

Back in the days of when it was film, yes. Now not that common. Shit gets called out quick.

1

u/Big_Ducks_Only 4d ago

Tbf I saw an old video on someone’s socials of him skating way back and he took a fall on something simple that clearly took him by surprise so he’s definitely human haha.

2

u/Aggravating-Can8797 4d ago

That turnstile in SF video from a couple years back was sick. Franz does a nice Ollie down like an 8 stair or something

2

u/TheRealHeavyZee 3d ago

In a Lion of Judah shirt, nice.

u/spookysam24 4d ago

I mean this is cool as shit.

Earth Crisis chic.

u/Maximus_Kekus 2d ago

I honestly had no idea he skated at THAT level. Everyone I know skated at some point in their lives and we were all typically ASS but had a great time. It was more about the culture and having people that were like-minded. There were levels and tiers in my area that were pretty clear and defined. The coasters-ollie-shoveit-slappy crub tricks class(80%). Next tier were the guys that could do that and basic flip tricks. Kicks, heels, pressureflips etc.(12%) Next tier were dudes that could ollie REALLY high and do gaps and drops and grinds.(6%) Next tier were guys that could do everything but at another level of crazyness - especially when it came to rails.(2%). Vert is a whole other story - we didnt have Vert people where I lived. Miniramps were "kind of" common and I didnt know any standouts on the miniramps. 

He looks like a good street skater forsure. If hes in Thrasher hes got to be good.

u/mu3mpire 4d ago

Thrash in safety man

1

u/stinkbuttfartman 4d ago

I didn't think skaters asked this question. I thought it was widely accepted in the skating community that fashion trumps safety. I love skating, but the attitude towards helmets is cringey as fuck.

u/ImNeverReallyThere 4d ago

Hell nah. Not hardcore at all. This guy just cannot get right when it comes to hardcore punk. Bring back Step 2 Rhythm. Hang up the skateboard pal. Not okay.

u/Beginning_Beach_2054 3d ago

u/Silas4ever864 1d ago
