I blame the 90s dudes for making skating look so damn cool...so cool that all these geeks got involved to the point where this shit is acceptable and a guy says he'd pay $128 for some sweats. You poosies can cry about inclusion and gatekeeping but at the end of the day it kept the culture strong. I get it, some of you grew up skating with your mom sitting on the bench at the skatepark, making sure you got your turn. But that skatepark was built to keep you out of the street and under control.
