Firing Squad: September 14, 2010
Welp, Zimmerman went on vacation this weekend and left his laptop at home, leaving me to moderate this shit show, I mean photo contest. It’s been a fun couple weeks, but our friends from New York met their match in the champ. I didn’t want to get too deep into the street rail rut, so I figured I’d shoot for a fisheye theme, and you guys can pick which one you like better. Yay!
The Champ
The Challenger

Think you can do better? Then quit your bitching. The Firing Squad is a weekly photo competition. Winners of a single battle will receive a pair of Da Kine gloves and should a photo survive 4 weeks, the photographer receives a place in the Champions Gallery and a Da Kine Camera Pack, as well as a chance to compete in the year-end Ultimate Champions battle. To enter your own photo in the Firing Squad, check out our submission guidelines.
alright nerds, lets get the commenting started
i need some form of entertainment this week
oh, street v. pow? this is gonna be FUN
Damn the challenger has a tight photo, would like to see the landing, but everything about it is pretty sick. Should be some good competition.
I think the challengers photo leaves more to the imagination, which is good, but for me it leaves too much in this instance – it was frontside one? the champs photo is just much more satisfying.
Wow, challenger all the way. That shot is sweet. Great colors, great composition… That angle is perfect for that trick for sure. Good battle this week Brooke!
I gotta go with the Champ on this one.
The champ has a really good photo. For some reason I prefer the challenger in this situation. They are both composed very well, have good angles, good foreground, and so on. Although I am assuming that the Challenger is doing a straight air or front 1 I cant help but like it more. I know I have complained about trick selection before but I feel the challenger is exempt in this situation. Both photos are sick but for some reason the edge goes to the challenger.
i like how there’s another fake really? that thinks he’s funny and ironic by being all polite.
champ still sucks, and that kid still didn’t do the whole rail.
challenger is actually good. if you like that whole “im doing a sweet air and not grabbing it which would make this picture actually good” thing. and cool “sky camo” pants.
this firing squad is boring and lame. at this time last week there was about 40 comments. this has 7. really? im gonna send in another pic.
i actually was meaning to post that under my normal name, just forgot to change back to it…ha.
really?…. kid did the whole rail, go watch the movie homo, and no one wants to see your lame ass photos anymore, they’ll know because all you take is ass shots and photos with your stupid ass flashes in your photos. Oh, and HDR photos you herb bitch, enjoy the loss last week, you’ll probably have more.
challanger should lose for his horrendous taste in outer wear.
i used my own ass grease to wack off in other dudes hipster hair cuts. I use my vneck shirts to clean that all up then roll my pant legs up and walk around brooklyn in my boat shoes cause i wish i was on a muhfuckin boat.
Okay people, I know this is a very tough concept to grasp, but this is indeed a photo contest. It is not a best trick contest, and it is MOST CERTAINLY NOT a fashion show.
God I hope that you were joking with that outerwear comment, otherwise you should maybe find a nice high bridge to practice your bellyflops off.
I mean, if you were serious, you would have to be one of those kids (I think they’re called skiers?) who goes to their local “snowboard shop” and spends two hours in the dressing room with a million different outerwear selections, all of which are most likely three sizes too big for you, until finally you find the one that best matches the top sheet on your board, at which point you’re finally ready to go hang out all day on the sun deck at your local resort… and we have way too many gapers in snowboarding as it is
Fuck people, just get out there and have fun. Nobody is looking at you when you’re standing in the lift line with your out-of-control sticker job, so you can maybe assume that nobody gives a shit what you’re wearing.
AMEN Jimbo thank you, I definitely agree. By the way I’m Penn.(aHa!)
Challenger is a sick photo, would have probably been better without a polarizing filter — that sky is pretty damn black. Might have gone with the rider in the upper left rather than the upper right too, so you get more understanding of what’s going on. Champ wins it again.
so this is how we gon do it now
fuck really?
fuck fery
fuck homies wonderland as a staff, a website and as a motherfuckin crew
and if you wanna be down with homies wonderland then fuck you too
eson fuck you too
all you mother fuckers
fuck you too.
i still cant believe theres only 13 comments. this is pathetic. put my picture back up this shit is borinnng
I don’t know what that second kid is doing in that photo, but I just got some free beer so I’m happy either way.
Drinking this beer is way better than looking at these small ass photos on a computer. Man I just realized I love print media.
ahhh well…if you really are really?….lots of those comments that boosted the numbers way back when were from the people that were against your shitty attitude…and then the amazing amount of inane individual responses from you, the guy that took the photo and your various aliases boosted you numbers too…you commented like 40 times guy.
anyway, thankfully, order has been restored…this is a great challenge. not at all to take away from the beauty of the champ, but I think the composition of #2 is excellent. timing, color, frame – all killer.
the challenger photo is shitty, i have no clue what the hell is going on in the photo and at the computer tough guy who’s saying luke didn’t land that back 1 sw back 1 go watch peace process couldn’t have been done any better.
wow i meant to say frontboard, i just had that trick stuck in my head because he did that on that rail also.
Champ 4sure.
Who are you people, John fucking Grisham? What photo forensics PHD do you have that makes you saying “no way he did the entire rail” anything less than retarded?
Seriously, I’ve seen people go more nose/tail heavy than that and do way longer rails with way nastier kinks. This rail actually has a pretty mellow kink for an actual street rail, nice and long with time to recover from the bounce.
what happened to the “they’re both gay” option?
their both gay.
ah crap, correction:
they’re both gay
Bob and sam are worthless, their opinions are of a 13 year old girl.
does anyone else see the ghost in the champ? That’s why I voted for challenger. Yobeat, I <3 you. You make school fun.
this still sucks.
Winge winge fucking winge…
and jimbo’s still as gay as ever i see.
If calling people gay over the internet makes you feel like your un-imaginitive ass clothing brand is anything BUT gay, than more power to you…
Seriously? “Never Snake a Snaker?” Your shit looks like the clothing you would find in the youth section at Ross or TJ Max. Give it up, you’ll never get more than the meager 20something customers you already have
upstate and really? are super weak, their clothing line reminds me of hot topic’s greatest hits
fuck yeah, never snake a snaker bitch. hahah 20 customers. ohhh how ignorant kids are these days…
well according to your website, you can’t even get over 30 fans on facebook… pretty weak.
and “I have a friend in upstate”
wow, that is just the gayest of gay right there. If Richard Simmons saw someone wearing this shirt, he would call them a fag. You’re shit is about as cool as an Urban Outfitters humor-tee. I’d venture to guess the only reason your third-grade-art-project of a brand is even able to pay for it’s cheap iron-on transfer paper is because you hock your shit to your super-trendy friends.
And with that, on to tomorrows battle
hahahhaha. i like when kids that wear bootcut pants and scarves try to talk about style. its funny.
Challenger! Like the colors and the angle.
Aren’t we done with the NY bitchfest yet? I thought we’d be done with this shit when the photo lost.
I don’t want to have to scroll through 100 retarded posts that have absolutely nothing to do with either photo.
Get over yourselves…
I voted champ- I love the colors in the challenger but I just can’t back a no grab ollie. Still a nice shot though.
Who wears scarves and bootleg pants? What Tahoe stereotype are you trying to pull that out of?
Unless you’re referring to the photo of Matt Koziol, the guy playing the guitar… Funny thing if you are, he lives in NYC
you’re a humongous tool regardless.
im so lonely, hopefully commenting on this board will make people talk to me, and right before I go to bed tonight with my mom, I can masturbate with my tears as lubrication. hopefully tomorrow I can sell my terrible shirt line at walmart and all my dolls and I can get juicy juice and cookies. yayyy
upstate, stop you are starting to turn me on.
fuck yeah, if i sold my shit at walmart i’d be rich and could retire. then go masturbate with tears like the fake upstate says he likes to do.
i fuckin hate black people
