How to actually tell if your a poser: you actively call out people for looking like a poser

I never understood what was wrong with mall grabbing

[somealgebraist]

Funny thing is I never did any of the things mentioned In the video when I USED to skate. However, I quit skating mostly because of how the skateboard community/scene was unnecessarily judgemental over things like mall grabbing and mongo (I had friends that did these things and also wearing certain clothes/style was a thing you'd be judged for as well). It got to the point where I would be getting judged for hanging out with those people and then came a time where I even abandoned my friends to try and fit in with the cooler kids. Not long after that I decided to stop skating all together and realized that as a sport, it's amazing. As for the community and lifestyle surrounding it? Not so much.

Never got why skaters are so bitchy about beginners. If there's a better way to do it, teach them how. If you are immediately hostile to anyone who tries to skate and isn't good at it your hobby will slowly die out

Nothing is wrong with the mall grab. Any other way of holding your skateboard makes it easy for people to steal it from you. Don't listen to these people...

mall grab is so much better. more comfortable, no scratched up thumb, and i have to do it cuz i’m too short, and even then i have to lift up my shoulder a bit to carry my board around

[Skatelife-vz]

mall grabbing or mongo pushing doesn't make you a poser, there's nothing wrong with them, just do whatever is comfortable for you

[GerbyWorrior]

I’m right foot dominant and I stand goofy so I go way faster when I mongo push. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[leviwilliams]

Shut up bro the mall grab is the best grab it’s basically like a built-in handle.

I don't like holding my board horizontally. It takes up too much space, and holding it on the end hurts my hand because of the grip tape. Holding the mall is the most convenient, doesn't ge tin the way, and is comfy.

Bro when I first started a couple a months ago I was doing that and I didn’t even know that posers do it

[Ben-kstm]

Your not a poser if you mall grab it’s the most comfortable way to hold it. You aren’t a poser if you know how to dipstick better than skate it just means they learned that before they skated. You are a poser if you lie about what tricks you can do.

[sirpaingwen]

Dude literally there is nothing wrong with mall grabbing

[connerwillis]

[jolli]
