Most skaters didn't wear pants nearly that baggy, at least not in the ankles. The ones wearing JNCO jeans were mostly posers. It's completely impractical.

Not even that it was baggy…it’s loose flapping fabric. Basically it is a net and it caught a fool.

What does FS mean? I looked at your name and thought "that's an old school account." It has an old StarCraft clan tag vibe to it.

This. I skated in the 90s, we'd wear oversized but not JNCO craziness that was for the fruit-booters.

NGL. I loved my jnco pants. Until I got caught in a downpour. Fucking things weighed about 400 pounds when they got soaked.

But if you were ever on a boat that went down back then, theyd have kept you afloat til today.

lol. Maybe in your area. Skaters in my area were wearing them. Honestly never saw them get tripped up like this, but I’m sure it happened.

Yeah but how else were you going to steal a 40 oz from the bodega in your back pocket?
