me and my friends threw our first game of s.k.a.te. conteste six years ago, well before the es' shit.
this was the last year we'll be doing it. it (s.k.a.t.e. contest) has become the most jock thing in skateboarding.
we started it because we all loved to play and we thought it would be a fun loose contest to mostly have fun with friends from near by areas.
it has turned into complete crap! kids train to come to the contest as though its a disapline in gymnastics.
im just waiting to hear kids be like "yeah, i compete in s.k.a.t.e. and the ten to twelve stair compulsary"
dont let skateing suck. dont support jock shit like the es game of skate.
people like you are what is wrong with skateboarding.
you can not define what it is, because it is whatever a skateboarder makes it. If some dude has fun skating contests and sees his homies there then whats wrong with that? But then someone like you comes along and hates on them and vibes them out.
bottom line skating is whatever you want to make it, im not gonna hate on someone who likes skating something different than i do
I have to disagree with you gnar bar
I don't hate and vibe people that like contests, those are sometimes cool, but it is true that the competitive edge is taking away what was fun in the first place. I'm not talking about friendly competition existing between people that skate together, i'm talking about those kids that sfa mentions that 'train' to win the games of SKATE. and all those kids that want to be the first to do a trick down a certain spot (el toro etc.), and all one-upping that takes place everywhere.
Its fucking stupid when you roll up to a spot and everyone is watching to see what you do, just so they can do something better to show you how good they are. you do a back tail and they do a kickflip back tail shove-out, then look at you like "yeah son, what up?" so lame. and theres the icy cold vibe everyone gives each other in an attempt to be super cool. the more I talk about this, the more annoyed I get. actually fuck skateboarding. fuck the jock mentality that its come to.
why do people hate p-rod, jereme rogers, et. al.? I personally think theyre excellent skaters, but look at the shit theyve started. Upping the stair count, upping the hammers, upping everything. When it used to be "damn I can't believe you did that!", now its "shits been done ten times before...and without your fake ass steez"
the X-games, corporate sponsorship and takeovers of skate brands. we passed the tipping point a long time ago
