God damn it, this ain't what it used to be.
My feelings exactly.
An example of skateboarding being swept up by normies...more about Micky Papas, Zion Wrights, Chris Channs... fewer Ricky Oyolas, Jeff Grossos, and Brent Atchleys. Less attitude. Less individuality. More Nike swooshes. More Monster girls. More skate coaches. More cookie cutter copy paste interviews that are like “um yeah I just love skating and street league is sick”. Soon every interview will be the same. Sponsorships with Best Buy, Amazon, and Microsoft just because.
The face of skateboarding is changing fast. I miss what it used to be too, but holy hell I need to go skate right now.
