cause i been doin it every day for over a decade in many countries
and i bought up hundreds of skate magazines,
could have bought a fuckin bmw with all the money i have put into it
watched almost every single video that pro companies put out

and its fuckin weak as hell when people associate you with that frigger on the pro active commerical because skateboarding is gnar as fuck, its street, its grime, its a good taste of real life at a young age. people can hang out any age group, there is no bullshit or predispositions or anything like that. if you can shred in any form i dont care if its tranny, freestyle, or technical ledge hammers. even if you aint that good, you get respect, there is always gonna be dickheads but they always fizzle out in the long run.

when i started skating around 96 or 97, when i saw someone with a skateboard brand on their t-shirt i was hyped. you knew they skated pretty much off the bat cause not a lot of people in my area were rockin that shit. obviously there were still posers back then who didnt skate and still rocked that shit, but it was so much less common than it is now. every fucker has skate shoes now, and when i tell people i skate they probably picture me in full pads rolling around on a half-pipe or soem shit i dont even know.

yeah this has been said by many skaters before me, but the point still stands, the more pussy asses in there are in pro skating, the wacker it gets. the feeling is still the same but i dont want to come across as some fucking fairy, and thats why we need fuckers like phelps, to keep people knowing that this shit is not a game for children to play, this is grown man shit, and i am fucking obsessed with it.

wow... 96 or 97?
you are OG.

you started way back in the day when there were only a few skateboarding related video games on the shelves, and the x games were just 2 years old.

yeah, dude skateboarding was way more underground and real back then, right?

news flash-skateboarding has been plagued with sellouts and marketeers since the very beginning. you just didn't notice back then cause you were probably around 9.

obviously there were still posers back then who didnt skate and still rocked that shit, but it was so much less common than it is now.
