As someone used to narrower boards with mellower nose and tail shapes, his board feels foreign and would take a lot of getting used to. Don't see the appeal, but whatever floats yer boat...

Puffy shoes are shit, I had some lynxes and they look sick but when I went back to some blazers I realised how hard it is to skate in themI fucking hate long socks so much they look so fucking dumb, and blodney wearing shorts all year round is the worst gimmick in skating, way way worse than flame beanies

I love to champion skateboarding's openness and inclusivity to non skaters/other types of skaters, but I was quickly reminded in the last 2 years that so many skaters/brand owners, etc. in this subculture are not as willing to be as progressive as they think they are. I personally think a lot of skaters were not ready to admit that they could be more inclusive/considerate of those skating that they're not used to seeing (LGBTQ for example). We all may think we are open, thoughtful, etc. UNTIL a real life example shows up and the insecurities spill out. That's my take on it, though. Thankfully, in SoCal and further north, I've seen far more groups within skateboarding garner efforts/spaces for these people to assimilate more easily into skateboarding without worrying about the ignorant ones.This is also true. It attracts everyone, regardless of background. It's not as gate kept as other activites in this way.
