    Skated here for the first time yesterday. Had to go back for more today. You can just feel the history here as soon as you step into it. Thank you, Nike.

      @ Nike is a big evil corp though.... You're trying to make the argument into a false dichotomy, where I have to choose evil or evil. I don't have to do that, I can point out evil, say it's evil, and be correct.

      At the end of the day all company do the same thing nike! just had a bigger platform coming in to skateboarding and kinda toolkit away! From all the other company such as etnies , fallen, lakai , and many other company's did get is much exposure so when the new guys come in and get signed by nike because there so good who get exposure nike, so it takes away for other company's. Nyjah , luan , Shane , prod , Eric koston ride for nike!

    I was there recently to witness the heaven that is the new west LA courthouse. Stopped by there on a day of skating in Venice just to reminisce if you will only to find out that the place was completely renovated to what you see today. It was an amazing surprise and treat and cant wait to get back there. SOoooo many great memories at that place.

    • @jacemarteez
      @jacemarteez 10 років тому +4

      Everything was different in the 90's skatings not gonna die at the rate it's at, street league and zuimez are just point less. I'm just sayin the only thing ruining skateboarding are the skaters creating "skate politics" between corporate companies and skater owned companies. skating is all about just having fun with your homies at the park or in the streets and no company is gonna ruin that. Unless you want it to

      *****
      Hating nike became "cool" so most of the things you see on the internet is bullshit.
      I am an emerica guy myself but to be real, my Romeros had the sole on the left shoe basically exploding after like two month (from the heel to like the middle of my foot it just separated from the shoe) and i might have done like two ollies in them, it was my "going to school" pair of shoes.
      And my on my reynolds 3 the sole on my right shoe was just randomly popping out (bad glue i guess)
      Basically outside of the G6 wich comes out as one of the best skate shoe ever (and i heard the figgy's are pretty good too) but outside of that emerica isnt that much better than anything nike does.
      I've had a pair of Nike, the Satire and they skated good, felt really good and really the sole was so damn durable I liked them so much that I bought a pair of canvas to chill in.
      People have no argument against Nike outside of "oh they arent from skateboarding they want to destroy it" nigga please why is nobody hating on Adidas and Puma then ? and technically, Converse is the same too.

    This was the Santa Monica Courthouse. I don't know why Eric doesn't even mention that. It got renamed the West LA Courthouse. He should have said when. I'm not looking it up. That means there's a new Santa Monica Courthouse. It must be huge because Van Nuys got so overfull of cases, at least for evictions, they make everyone go to Santa Monica if you have a domestic dispute in Van Nuys. I just won a case only because I am recognized as disabled. I think the new one is closer to the beach. They probably kick you out of it. I think Nike made an agreement Koston couldn't even say the words "Santa Monica Courthouse" because that's what the spot is. That sucks about the pond. Whenever I skated West LA there was barely anyone there in '89,90,91 and 92.

      Who really gives a shit? It's a spot. Just because you no longer run the risk of getting kicked out doesn't mean anything bad. That's nothing but good. Nothing is taken away from the spot just because they're allowed to skate there and they replaced the concrete ledges with metal ledges. It's still fucking ledges. It's still street and a good skate spot. Wtf is the problem?
