So, I took about a 7 year break from skateboarding due to a knee injury. Since getting my knee fixed and getting back into skating (how in the hell did I give this up for so long?!), things have changed a bit here and there.
For one, what the hell happened to Shorty's? I remember them being pretty much the hottest thing in skateboarding in the early 2000's.
Where did this term "focusing" a board come from? I had never heard that term when I was younger.
Why so much hate for footage filmed in HD? Personally I think it looks much nicer than any footage from a vx1000 or a GL2.
Also, not really a question, but more of an observation. Super surprised to see that NIKE has become so big in the skate world. It was such a joke when they tried to cash in on it back then. Though I can't really hate on them now. They have a killer team, and I really do love their shoes now. Perhaps it helps that I grew up and got past the "Fuck anything that a jock would wear" stage of my life.
