Damn, dude had a lot to say. I agree with his general point about partying being glorified and skate companies being kinda exploitive, but I think some of his points were a lil weird or exaggerated. Specifically his point of how you "couldn't get on Zero unless you were wasted" or whatever made me raise a brow considering how many other stories there are about Zero being too strict about people partying. I know there's plenty of Chief dirt to make him seem a bit manipulative, but that specifically felt like an awkward deflection.
also his bit about his shoe being the "only DC shoe" to be sold to shops is just straight up not true, even if he was exaggerating.
