SIMIE SOMEDAYS



It's nice to see the boys shredding the park, apparently the TX park has no street obstacles! Funny to think that the first few clips where filmed on something that you could probably find in Barcelona... and the ender is down a hail rail. Who knows?

Good work on the edit Simie, always a pleasure.

That box to rail thing isn't there all the time, and when it is people just moan about how the flow of the park is spoiled. Plus 2 rails? Surely street objects can be more imaginative? Small, fun, things? Why does every new build have to be either huge or really gnarly? I personally don't feel like the park needs any more quarter pipes.

Smoking bongs is really cool, there should be more bong smoking in skateboarding. I think we should turn the basketball into an indoor bus shelter so it feels like your smoking in the streets but your actually nice and safe in the park.

I agree that the drugs are unfortunately pretty prominent, you're right. Raise it with your local goverment official.

Love how the people hating are always anonymous. Nice work bro.

Agree with you there Colin, the park could be done with more street type stuff. Everytime something is built it's either too big, too whippy or really gnarly. I know it's a "skatepark" but A'deen is more or less a write off from November - end of February street skating wise. Gotta try and cater for the needs of everyone, especially with the price it is to get into the park. It is absolutely great that the city has the park and it is a blessing in the winter though.

Fair enough on the anonymous point there Simie. The chance to make a wee jab at pot smoking and complaining in an ironic manner anonymously was maybe too easy a choice to make. The topic of weed needs no arguing at all, people will do it regardless of a web edit. I just thought it was a bit daft in your edit however you justify it. With regards the park stuff I think it's better to talk about this stuff in real life, people get pretty pissed off on message boards.

heres my two cents.... ;) ;) i love a good debate, just cant help myself..

I'm all good with the dope smoking, just not in vids, had enough for a lifetime after watching the antwuan dixon vbs special.. dont need anymore thanks! bad decision.. i would be more worried about what that might mean for the skate park as a business.. not a good look perhaps? hey moms and dads, this could be your wee Timmy enjoying himself after school down at the friendly local skate park! i can hear the STV special already! ;) tssk, a wee bit embarrassing.

and as for the street skate factor, i have to agree, what with being a seasoned OAP of the street sesh, nothing beats it.. the park would be sooo rad if it hard a more dynamic (mellow) street style. the adidas skatehalle being good research, there's tons more. But! i feel the main problem is that its not a skate park, well, not entirely.. its more of a bmx park.. i guess that's the problem with having too share boohoo, are there more bmxers than skateboarders? thank god rollerblading died at least, i digress - dont want to upset the tills do we.. but what i would love to see is maybe more DIY crete style spots outside the park, such as the fab obstacle currently there, that's dope! but i forget, aberdeen.. wet.. cold... bugger

hey ho

easy

beef aside, who are the skaters in the edit?

Simie said...

Seriously, it was just a joke. Some of you lot need to lighten up. The videos I make are all off my own back and have nothing to do with the skatepark, so I'll put in whatever I want when I want, considering I make these videos for your enjoyment completely at my own expensive. Whatever man.

The bong clip is a bit cringe worthy. And not in a "mike hughes talking to the camera" type way.

si cowell said...

haha.. say it, dont spray it.. that's the joys of punting your work into the inner depths of the tinterweb, prepare yo self for mass critique... moaning about it wont do any good, take it down if you cant handle it ;)

Its weed, whoo cares some people do it some people don't. Why cry and moan about a wee bong clip it was for a bit of fun. Its a fucking plant for fuck sakes. Go do something worthwhile rather than bitching about something so silly.

Its more of a bmxer park? GET A FUCKING GRIP! The park has everything an amazing Bowl and Mini ramp, rails, ledges, jump boxes, banks fucking everything! Stop complaining about it and go skate it!

Yous all chat a load of shite
