So, what's the deal with these? Who was the first energy drink hat skater? How much do they get paid? Do they get paid less if they wear the hat backwards (lol)? Why do more contest skaters wear them than street skaters (I think I know the answer to this one)? Why do more tranny skaters seem to wear them (potentially related to the previous question)?
At the end of men's park at Dew Tour, Zion, Sheckler, Midler and Foy were all in a big red bull hat wearing group and it just looked so lame. Got me thinking about the incentives these skaters face. I know people like GT and Ishod are sponsored by monster, but don't wear the hats.
