I hate it when people say "there are no rules in skateboarding". There are definitely rules, or at the very least definitions and standards the tricks are held to. You can't tail drag a manny, you can't step off the board immediately after a trick. I also understand that style is subjective, and everyone likes different things in skateboarding, so opinions on who does what the best can vary. Some constants remain though pretty much no matter what, speed, pop, movement of the board (mobbed kickflip), and having a confident landing. And then there's the etiquette side of things too, spending money at real shops, don't wax if you're not a local, wax your board instead, look around before taking your run, try not to snake, bring beer to the diy, give props, and try to stay out of people's way if their filming. I'm stoked that more people and more people from different backgrounds are skating now more than ever, I just don't want them all to be kooks. Am I alone in thinking this? Is this way of thinking outdated? Am I just a hater? Are Todd falcon and Rodney Mullen in the same league?
