I work at my real job like I'm a pro skater. Years of work can be summarized to about 3 minutes worth of actual achievements.

The ones who sacrifice their dignity in exchange for a red bull hat or deodorant commercials.

All jobs sacrifice some dignity, at the end of the day. Mine sure does

Then I don’t know probably no one

Been thinking about that the other day. Don't have much insight into the business side and how it is to be a pro. And I don't know if that is comparable to normal working people with real jobs like you and me buuut

Mason made most pros look like lazy stoners last year.
Crazy work ethic. But I understand that Mason is an absolute exception. Ishod seems to take his job serious.

Lately I've been treating my real job like I'm a pro skater, full hellride. I go in sort of hungover to 12 hour shifts and I'm probably going to die.

Throw in some stealing and showing up late every day. That’s how I do it.

Out of recent big-name pros I'd say Shane O'Neil strikes me as the person who takes his career insanely seriously and doesn't really fuck around with extra curricular stuff that's distracting. Previously, guys like Chris Cole or P-Rod. Obviously, unless you are a top tier pro, I don't think anyone wants their image to be a try-hard in a profession that is so much about marketing.

I know Dakota Servold said Jon Dickson gets up at like 6 am everyday and skates the entire day with a goal in mind. Not shocking as Jon has always seemed like somebody who works his ass off.

Wouldn't be surprised if AndyMac approaches and prepares for a sesssion like he is going to the office. Including workschedule, lunch box and a to-do list. Plus updates to the boss how he is progressing.
