Title: Flow
Post by: SneakySecrets on September 03, 2021, 11:29:20 PM

Where did the term “flow” come from?  Does it just refer to free gear trickling down the ranks until it ends up in the hands of unestablished but promising young skaters?

I figure it’s either that or something about the estrus cycle.

I would say the difference is between getting stuff based on some kind of merit vs. getting stuff based simply on being a bro of the one you the the stuff from. No other merit involved.

flow is the ultimate kick down. you've got a steady flow of gear to skate, to keep you flowing and skating. no recognition, just a flow of gear.

I have no idea, but that's what I've always thought
