This.
This board has gone so sour the past few months that I just can't deal with it anymore. I've had a terrible year, girlfriend that got cancer, my friend got breastcancer (a 40 year old guy, I might add. Get your chest checked...), lost my grandma to cancer, a truly beautiful colleague took her own life etc. And i'm sure some pals here had it bad as well. When real life hits you into face it becomes clear that all of these 'hateful' discussions are absolutely completely pointless/useless.
If anything they just suck you dry from your positive energy and turn you into the same hating asshole.
I came here alot in the past year to keep up with skateboarding, to get my mind off things and to read cool comments and see cool videos. But really, a kid could drop de the coolest part, have the sickest tricks, best style, best sponsors and he'd still get hate because his pants are cuffed a bit to high or because he has his wheelgraphics out.
Any stupid excuse to hate on a guy/girl is good enough here. And I'm not even talking about this Aaron Kyro guy it's in general.
Wait until real life hits you in the face, go hate on that.
Maybe I'll post again a few months but I've had enough of SLAP for now.
SHALOM is dead.
