Lucas is legit. He has a City Stars bling medallion. I seent it. Try telling me that ain't the coolest.
I don't hold his reporting style against him... that's how all of Complex Media Group writes, with the clickbait-y titles and whatnot. He's just writing in the style of his employer. The man's got a job that involves thinking about skateboarding all day... I'm sure we would ALL swallow our pride and write in the Complex style in order to land and keep a job like that!!
