I really liked young Bieble, like Chomp and Yeah Right! Remember when he had that house in Sac and decked out every bedroom with wall mounted TVs and linens so people would actually come to Sac from SF and LA to skate with him? But cannot understand modern Biebs.
I think him moving to Sacramento explains a lot. Not that Sacramento can't be nice, but the further inland one goes in California the more it starts to look like a sea of lifted trucks and people with the same views as brobull here.
And, his love of traditional sports and his strong affiliation with the gym for a long time set him apart from everyone else. I mean sport is all about winning, dominating others, etc., BroBull threatening that smoke every chance he gets kind of makes sense.
Maybe he has always been a Florida bro, but it was just hidden under a thin veneer of skateboarder.
