I back it. Skateboarding has lived too long.
Hopefully not a kook, but if so, fuck it.

very interested to see how this goes. I'm curious to know what he'll be doing and how important he will be at Sidewalk, I have a feeling that if he's working under people other than himself then it won't go very well for him, however he could have changed quite a bit in the 25+ years he's been away from the industry.

Op, you ok man? Being real here, you doin alright?

He's 64 and has been out of the industry for 20+ years. Not sure how much of an impact he's actually going to end up having.

There was no wire. Clark's planet needed him.

It is quite possible that the announcement that Rocco is working with Sidewalk Distribution is the peak of what Rocco can do for Sidewalk Distribution.
Warm Up Zone. Let's watch some skateboarding videos.

This is hilariously corny, y’all 40 plus heads need to let the 90s go man. That shit isn’t going to work for 2024 nor do kids these days care about with a 60 year old thinks about skateboarding.

^if you're old enough to post stuff like this, don't forget to schedule your annual colonoscopy soon

anyhow, glad one of the last untouchable figures in skateboarding finally has a chance to inevitably piss all over his legacy

I think it’s cause he failed at taking out the whales.

If Tyshawn knows any skate history, he might be hyped on the potential trash talk…

His whole “we won the war because we broke the rules” gimmick can’t and won’t fly in 2024. I came up at the tail end of the Rocco era and I acknowledge his impact on the industry, but what made him successful back then is impossible today.

I’d guess he was brought on as an investor/cash injection, and his day to day involvement might not go any further than his name/rep being used (like in that IG post) as a marketing gimmick… which… makes Rocco himself sort of a flame boy/wet willy character?

I'm 46 and started skating in the early 90s and even I think this is stupid and lame.

But you also sound like a loser.
