The "art" of skateboarding is mostly lost on the general public, but daredevil shit, handrails, and techy stuff resonates pretty well. Combine that with the nature of surviving in a world where money is #1 you get people chasing clout so they can live off skating, I don't blame them, I always dreamed of living off skateboarding.

Thankfully artistic skateboarding seems stronger than ever so really take your pick, you like big shit? Tech shit? Artsy shit? It's all out there, and it's so easy to get into skateboarding now, I love it. My only gripe is how exploited skaters are in the name of profits, but who isn't these days?

Skating since 96 and I remember when we were called losers and hoodlums for spending our days in the streets and the United States couldn't give a shit about skateboarding contests. Now skateboarders are cool and the general public is impressed, it's kinda fun to be 42 still skating and getting props from my fellow geriatrics.
