Skate industry money is fucked up. Thats why I roll my eyes when industry dudes diss slap pals by trying to play the jealousy card.
Like yea you're better than me at skating but nigga I make 70k as a 29 year old and I still skate for fun. You have to be a businessman, a good artist, or a Hall of Fame skater to make it past 35 in the game. Everyone else is fucked with no health insurance and no translatable skills once theyre too old to jump down shit.
