To do real estate etc. in Texas is one thing, but im certain that people with more of a demanding job has been able to squeeze in some regular type of skating. Especially in 20 fucking years time. Kareem is one of my all time favorite skaters so its nothing too negative, just disappointing haha!
Instagram clip was cool, even small shit like that would not be too hard to put up on a regular bases within such long period of time. Through social media or even better, through his own fucking company.
Anyone read his interview in Juice? saw the photos that was in there but could never manage to read the writing. This would be like 2 years old maybe?
I get that you’d like to see some clips, I would too, but if he’s not trying to maintain a presence in skateboarding why the fuck would he bother? His legacy is unfuckable with, he’s got nothing to prove. I like guys that can just walk away from it all.
Having a skateboard company is trying to maintain a presence in skateboarding. If not based strictly on your own name, you got a company up and running. Not sure how many board sales City Star 2.0 has had since it started but I am certain more people including myself would be following it on a regular basis as well as buying product if there was at least a few Kareem decks with good graphics along with a few clips here and there like the instagram clip someone posted earlier.
This would make City Stars more profitable as sales would increase, so if you are dealing with real estate and investments you should be able to see the benefits for you company by putting out some footage, anything, along with decent product, as a way to grow your business.
Then again, if you dont have to care about money, can afford to have a company that not really does much but still exists and just skating for fun real low-key, your probably in a better situation then plenty of other people struggling to stay relevant and earn a few bucks! Less pressure and more free!
