Because people buy his boards, and also because he's sick.

The horticulture crowd is into him bombing dirt hills as a method of seed planting.  And since it's the holiday season, he reminds some of Scut Farkus from A Christmas Story.  Other than that, I got nothing.

Worst slam I ever had was from a switch manual. Hell, I should be pro.

Fits into that category where he doesn't appear to be the most athletic of skaters, so all of the sketch looks dope as fuck.

Dude is dope.

It's just his name, that's the only reason.

We get these “why is XYZ pro?” threads all the time and it’s amazing to me that people don’t understand that this is the answer. People still seem to think you gotta skate in the minors or ascend some meritocratic ladder to reach pro status.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

This is a sufficient reason, plus, Aiden is sick, so fuck of.
Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

It's a way to attract a bigger market, having a loveable nerd whose skating and image lots of young hip types can relate to but who's not necessarily the best skater in the world. They see themselves in him so they think he's cool and it makes them worship him and buy his boards.

We get these “why is XYZ pro?” threads all the time and it’s amazing to me that people don’t understand that this is the answer. People still seem to think you gotta skate in the minors or ascend some meritocratic ladder to reach pro status.

Hence why it’s just as easy to turn around and ask “why isn’t/wasn’t ABC pro?” If they had chops, paid dues AND weren’t a shithead it 100% will have something to do with their marketability/value as a financial asset to the company.
