i've always been envious of people who dress in whatever way they want, despite how trendy/outrageous they might appear. i can hardly wear a hat without feeling like the fashion gestapo are keeping a profile on me.
I think we can all agree to that. However, I think the point is more that the only reason these kids are getting hooked up is because they dress in a fashionable way. The skating in that clip was the least creative approach to skating I've ever seen in a video released by a renowned company or mag.
In the beginning of the 2000s, people were hating on "handrail kids" such as Matt Allen. Well, the new "handrail kid" is the hipster kid doing nothing but the most basic tricks and no complies on sidewalks. And not even in a progressive way (e.g. like Huf did). They can go out and do that stuff all day as far as I'm concerned but if the skateboarding industry evolves in a way that gives rise to mediocre, dull skating paired with trendy clothes, then that doesn't sit well with me.
Oh, and Fucking Awesome was off to a fucking horrible start so far. As trendily postmodern as trendily postmodern gets. And that shit is so played out, it's insane. So I'm not generally hating on some young kids skating but on Dill (and AVE) promoting their shit. Hell, Dill might be an idiot, but I can't wrap my head around AVE backing all that.
