Yokos.
I distinctly remember, after Italo Ferreira undid Gabriel Medina at Pipeline to become world champion, thinking “I shall not see another non-Brazilian world champion in my lifetime.”
A supergroup.
Ferreira, on drums and vocals, seemed unstoppable, like he had a good three to four more titles wrapped up in his jovial demeanor. Medina, lead guitar, taciturn, seemed like he had a good three or four more too and Filipe Toledo, on rhythm guitar, seemed like he had one or two if the waves turned off for the year.
And who knows how many superstar Brazilians were just offstage, waiting in the wings?
An endless run of green and gold. Progress and order to the moon.
But then something happened, and happened quickly. Medina decided to take some personal time after his just wrapped title, Ferreira seems a different person altogether, Toledo seems like he may be putting together a run but that’s it with Seth Moniz and Kanoa Igarashi seemingly more likely to own the future.
Weird, no? But who is to blame.
Gorgeous Brazilian models? Did the country’s other finest export Yoko Ono the band?
David Lee offered this theory during our weekly chat and I found myself, maybe, agreeing. We also discussed marijuana potentially being performance enhancing when it comes to longboarding. What do you think?
all the Brazo surfers are LGTQR anyway
Beautifully put. Equal parts laughter and tears.
Where did Negatron go? I feel like a top ten male WSL pro going against a bottom 50 WQS female when I spar with monkeygirl.
Mate, you’re still in the wavegarden in Switzerland, with the settings switched to Waikiki mode for the Euro-kooks to learn on.
Meeh, and yawn. I all ready did that. Take a class on creativity, it will free your mind.
Thats quite the twisted logic ya got going there. You are the voice of no reason, so it works for you. Funny, how I am a “triggered snow flake victim” while you guys are for censoring because it might make someone upset. Once again you prove my point by just being you.
It’s not censoring because someone might be upset. Its just stopping conversations from turning into middle aged men flinging shit tit for tat at each other and posting dick-pics.
I’ve been around comment boards for awhile and I seen them turn to shit from poor or no moderation.
In case you havent noticed, thats what the originating articles are on this site. Now Im just arguing in circles with a fool.
The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.
Maximilien Robespierre. You are a tyrant.
I have “educated” you how it rolls here.
It’s not a Country, it’s a commercially owned website and to be honest you’re coming off very naive to the realities of that.
Bwahaha, if you go back to my first post on this you will see this was a question of the sites integrity. Yes, you answered. Now I know BG’s thought leaders are nothing more than a silly little girls club. Terrified of the free market place of ideas, and filled with hypocrites. Additionally, you have chosen specific groups of people that are okay to attack, and others who are sacred. For no other reason than the pop culture says so. BG is a perfect example of Nazi evil group think, and JP should use it in his classes for that.
Ummm reading any headline here and it’s quite obvious its a silly little girls site. Feel free to move on if its not to your liking.
Well look at that, Cindy likes your post. Chuckles bra.
“There’s some people, even you, that I follow on BG where I just go check their feed just to watch mental illness just spray its diarrhea all over the screen,” Rogan
Your God, Rogan’s forum was also moderated.
Massive generalisation of course on my behalf.
And alittle to obvious on the coffee troll.
Oh, I see. Dont want to piss the women off. Is this an Incel site? Thats why you hate Joe. Men afraid of women. You folks understand most active shooters are Incels like yourselves, right? You boys might actually be scary in that way.
Oh I get it, all the little girls in the sand box think a boy should be a girl, and since thats trendy fall in line or as you write, “That you think otherwise makes you a douche, too”. Not going to happen. Until the ungracious hosts cancel me I will stand and fight. You are not the only child playing.
To the fridge
I keep reading this kind of comment, yet cant prove it to myself. Please write a reply to me with a comment that would make these guys cancel it. I just cant see them doing anything like that. As this place is filled with vile filth, and mean people. Which I am all fine with as long as it is truly a free market place of comment. Otherwise, Chas is a huge hypocrite.
Ultimately it’s Chas’s website and he can do as he pleases. Down here we are the guests and guest have to have a basic set of manners.
Manners?!? you are a complete lunatic if you claim this site has manners. It is pure filth, word vomit, and perversion of every kind. What, are you gas lighting now? I agree that we can all do as we please with what we own. However, we do not get to maintain respect from others when we are a hypocrite. Furthermore, I am just looking to see if the claims are true. I am not sure, and in fact find it hard to believe he would cancel anything. As it is against all his claims. Going over the edge is his schtick. So, how could any of us go to far?
Re manners, I said down here… Chas can’t delete comments and has never asked me to. Any deletions are on me.
It’s not that anyone says something so outrageous and so far off the mark. Its just a base level of not being overly cruel, over sexualised in a boring way, dumb or mind numbingly dull or repetitive.
Funny, I have agreed with you on most things. I totally disagree with and laugh at the childishness of this site. However, I believe in liberty for all. Especially when it comes to speech. The one redeeming quality of this site was its open and free discussion. Your “base level” is extremely subjective and inconsistent. I see nothing but subjective relativity that makes me loose all respect for you. Your feet are firmly planted in mid air.
Yip mid air feet placement is the best place to be for a moderator. It’s a ever evolving fluid thing depending on the topic so taking a solid stance just means you’re locked in and I’ve always worked in the grey, not black and white.
It’s been this way since the start so nothing new is going on.
Save the liberty and freedom speech for a Trump convention.
Wow, you are a classic. Thankfully, you do not have any real power. I would hate to ever be part of your real world. Such a weakling. Know this, you are the definition of hypocrite. You are terrified of the free market place of ideas. This is because it might prove one of your cherished religious beliefs wrong, or worse yet hurt your ego. Maybe make you feel sad. Now I get why this place is childish, because your operating on a grade school level maturity. Your, “It’s been this way since the start so nothing new is going on.” surprised me. I actually recommended this site to others, as being open and fearless. It is really just vulgar and immature. Chuckles little one. Sad that this is where you get your meaning and purpose in life. BG could have been the Joe Rogan of discussion sites. I thought it had the potential.
The Joe Rogan of discussion sites. You had me till then…
The Joe Rogan of discussion sites? Hahaha!
Snap! Could’ve been… alas I have ruined that dream of a commenting utopia for @Popvaditecclesiae:disqus from deleting a boobie picture yearterday. Always makes me smile when someone is outraged that in fact their free content has a price of admission.
What a sad cunt
If I’m Chase, I would want that. More clicks equals more money.
joe rogan’s a douche…
100 % and he is a tolerant prick as well , some of the shit i have dreamed up and posted farrrk i would have sent me over the falls ages ago.
civility counts.
You probably didn’t see it then. Nothing outrageous just a woman and her breasts.
Actually hinted at by Longtom a bit ago, and old Stab discussions with James B that kook.
probably definitely performance enhancing for the spectators
I’ll listen to it later
welcome back traveller
Hey PP, want some stickers?
email me at sammichjammich
AT the gmailez…. dot communist.
Totally serious.
I think it was the picture that toppled it over the line. Its enough of a middle aged sausage fest here as it is.
Well, I didn’t say titties or boobies so mine stays up. Wait, that’s backwards.
Hopefully jack R’s Brazilian storm generates a title
More likely to generate an offspring than a world title
If the brazzos are the surfing supergroup…do you think the current Aussies are an RSL covers band?
Nope,more like a cafe slam poetry quartet….
Damn supermodels always messing up my life too.
Explains a lot about your commentary style.
And your dislike for marijuana speaks volumes about yours.
I find it and those that smoke weed too much boring and dull.
Just a observation.
Little bit is fine, smoke too much for too long and smokers start thinking they know more than everyone else and the world owes them a favour.
Newsflash! They don’t know more than me and I owe them nothing.
I had a visiting smoker brother in law visit from London a few months ago and he wasn’t happy until he’d smoked my entire crop of killer queen and happy herb I’d had stashed in the medicine cabinet and pinched 2k from my mother in law.
Then… He had the audacity to call me a drinker! I enjoy a little dwinky poos of an evening but I wouldn’t call myself a drinker.
You been on a BG free holiday Pete?
I didn’t feel like a gritter during 2 years of Lockdowns – I needed skategrit at the time. Getting back to normal now after 6mths back.
I had great fun with it for a few years but my own personal foibles meant in the that longer-term it became a real hindrance.
Likewise. Was 95% awesome 5% shit at the start by the end those percentages had totally swapped around.
To each his own
You forgot desouza on bass
