You have to understand where I'm coming from, too. You have dudes on here saying I'm not a real skateboarder, when all I do is skateboard. That doesn't make sense to me. I love skateboarding, so you can imagine how I feel when some clown tries to say I'm not skating for fun, or I don't love skateboarding, because I actually like going out there and progressing. That''s the dumbest shit I've ever heard. I wouldn't go skate everyday if I didn't love it, or I wasn't having fun.
at the end of the day it really shouldnt matter to you what someone else thinks. especially on the internet. you & alot of these posters you seem to be "debating" with both make valid points, but all of you sound ignorant. i will agree people are comin at you reckless on here, but you dont make it any easier on yourself by fighting "fire with fire", when at times you sound pretty damn ignorant yourself.
this thread is ridiculous. i find it funny because the topic (koston vs olson) & the conflict on here stems from the exact same problem. alot of ignorance, bullshit hating, & people getting serious as fuck OVER THE INTERNET.
this message board is supposed to be another outlet to commune about skateboarding, for skaters from ALL backgrounds & personal involvements within the sport. that is what skateboarding is, an action sport. and like with any sport their are different levels of involvement within it. at the end of the day, we are all skateboarders in one way or another and have our own INDIVIDUAL PASSION for skateboarding. respect anybody who has that passion. regardless if their pro, grom, super-good, or not skilled at all.
EVERYBODY needs to really stop getting so involved in the "politics" of skateboarding. all it does is bring a lot of bullshit conflict between skaters.
seek to understand before wanting be understood. All of you guys.
