If you skateboard for a living with no skills to fall back on, you owe it to yourself to sell out. A lot of these guys put their well-being on the line so we can watch it for free on Youtube, laugh at their slams, make fun of their outfits, and forget about it in a week. This is a fucked business model, and to make it worse, some of us criticize them for not being core enough. You cannot feed yourself or pay for a trip to the ER with high fives from Mike Carroll. Until there's a union for skateboarders, they should exploit the corporate corners of the industry to the best of their ability. Get that Nike check, wear that Red Bull hat, max out your Roth IRA and take care of yourself. This industry is a meatgrinder.
