I swear white wanna be progressive dudes hold onto that shit longer than us black dudes.
so true
From my experience, it does seem to be mostly white guys that bring this up again and again.
I think the most telling part of this interview was that he admitted he doesn't have what it takes to be a TM. Too many people wouldn't self-aware enough to admit that, especially skateboarders looking to swim in the industry tank after retirement.
That's what I was referring to as well, I mean he makes jokes about it but he's obviously thought about it and thinks he wouldn't be suited for that sort of role. I'll certainly be interested to see where he goes and what he does with himself after pro skateboarding seeing as his body will pretty much be useless. Maybe motorbike repairs as he seems to be into that.

THINK I remember hearing a while back some fun fact regarding his output as a pro skater, like if you compared Duffel's output in terms of magazine ads, video parts, articles, demo's etc he would statistically (I hate using that word) be one of, if not the hardest working pro of this generation. All this coming from a guy who started out pre-internet footage-flood era.
