Are you BBs till crying about toys?
Everything is a toy. Dry your eyes.
Anyways. You folks like contests?
I think that shit is fucking hideous. All of it. the best at something in the eyes of some judges? Who are these judges? Clown like behavior. Letting others tell you someone is better then you. That’s the perversion of it all. Pure skate board fun is when you do skateboarding. It’s not any of the other parasitic nonsense that attaches itself to that act.
I 100% agree, on both fronts. Arguing about whether or not the toy we all play with is a toy is silly and should stop.
I also never really got contests, because it's really all subjective. High ollie contests and the like I get, because it's clearly x is better than y because the measurable number was bigger. But saying whether a kickflip to feeble or a heelflip to smith is better than the other seems to not only miss the point, but it in itself is pointless because it depends on the person.
Then again I've never been big on playing SKATE either, I would rather just skate with friends and have a good time than make it into a contest.
