wow, so true.

If it is then they are fucking up. Rocco himself said that if you are aiming to sell to little kids that pros don't matter, and its all about graphics that attract them.

with the ever-expanding media/contest juggernaut, i think kids care a lot more about pros than you might think.

You are a fucking idiot. An 8-12 year old kid buying his first skateboard doesn't know about any pros, and has no idea who is good or bad. Not only that, they don't have a shape that they prefer. Kids want the cool looking skateboard, and at that age, mommy and dad foot the bill, so that demographic has a lot of money to spend. I am basically just repeating what Rocco's theory, which was unbelievably successful, was. By the way, we aren't talking 20-30 years ago, we're talking about the last decade. The mountain dew extreme gnarly cup or whatever its called does not have very good ratings, they are ok, but its not like any Joe Shmoe knows any pro that doesn't have an Mtv show. Yeah, teenagers know who Sheckler and Bam and all of those guys are, but the kids just getting into the game and who fall under the "flameboy" model are mostly are too young for Mtv. The idea is you get them while they are very young, get them comfortable with your brand, and make them a lifetime buyer.
This isn't just some theory I am positing, it is a tested approach that has been proven to be VERY successful.

My personal favorite...

Interviewer: "What's the darkest thing about Ryan Sheckler the haters don't know?"

Sheckler: "It's not even dark. It's the opposite. The thing that the haters don't know about me is that I'm just a friggin' regular person. I'm a regular person that started out with nothing and made my way up through skateboarding and decided to do my show - which they think is ridiculous, but I think is fun."

Way to start out with nothing, dude. I'll make sure to say hi to your homie Calvin for you next time I see him. You remember him, right? You know, he's that dude that steals my recycling so he can eat? I'm sure you remember him.

Oh, and to those kids that are going to California that want to maybe get in a few licks, it also says that he eats at Wahoo's everyday.

all i know is that i hear little kids at the park regurgitating the names that tv taught them. they're more aware of pros than kids of the same age were a few years ago.

so you really read these ryan??? well read this, you will never, ever change my mind about you. i dont give a fuck if you bs feebled el toro, i dont give a fuck about your show, i dont give a fuck about the extreme dew tour. its ridiculous how you dont realize that your destroying the essence of skating. you will always be a money hungry kook to me and the skaters that really matter.

thank you. i back this 100%. nothing this kid does rings of anything other than fallacy. i'll give him props for helping kids, i will. good for him. but he's so pretentious. "it's going to feel so heartfelt and warm when i hand over those keys and pink slip to the winner." what the fuck does that mean? that just proves that he's doing all this for himself. and then he says for the haters to talk about him all they want and then go ahead and buy his boards. because of him, i will never buy a plan b board again. sucks because i like gallant, pj, wenning, and duffy, but i can't risk any amount of money going to that sell-out.
