“What will this pro’s personality be?”

“…uhhhh, he likes fishing.”


This has already been used for Jamie Foy, Daan Van Der Linden, Doobie, and David Gravette. I think it only seems genuine for Gravette.
Doobie is annoying.

"Younger pro enjoys fishing in their spare time" vs "Older pro transitioning into full time golfer"

who you got??
If you see offensive comments, just let it go into one eye and let it out of the other eye, no tears and not sadness or anger.

I'll take "Pro in their prime who quits skating to fail miserably at rapping"
At least it's funny.

Would you rather cook in the summer sun for 18 holes with Eldy and Malto, or drink some Twisted Teas tubing on the river with Gravette and Foy?

All these dudes horny AF for the roller skate chicks at their park.
Every roller girl I’ve ever met dresses like a highschool drama student. According to slap they aren’t as unbearable as the look.

You're not the first person to think you're sticking it to the bricked up White Knights™ gooning over the roller girls, but if you scroll up just a little you'll see a lot of people speaking kindly on rollerblade dudes (myself included), so your accusation doesn't really hold water.

In my city they are. Roller girls peaked in the year or two after covid, now there's only a handful, with more and more dudes showing up in the space.

Same where I am. Summer of 2021, I'd go to the park and there'd be literally 20-30 girls hanging out and skating. These days I see one, she was the best of all of them back them and she's still there, ripping the bowl and pool.

I’ve only seen one roller dude and he seemed pretty chill. He was rocking some of those wings that like strippers wear. Would skate with him for sure.

Fishing always > golf for me. The culture alone, golf has pretty much got the worst culture, a lot of money and exclusion. And uses so much water. Plus nature is prettier than mowed lawns.

There is a distinction that Gravette is a fly fisherman, an angler. A fly rod is like a skateboard, almost no one can just pick it up and make it work. No shade on conventional tackle but conventional is more like a scooter, it's quite a bit more attainable with less time invested. When Gravette first starting posting fishing it was like mongo with mobbed kickflip body varial type shit. He's come a long way and killing it these days catching carp. Backing all things Gravette.

I love the vibe of fishing, and the wilderness, but it's a pain in the ass. All that blood and slippery shit.

 I love to  cook, so I choose being in a cabin or at camp cooking a meal for those wonderful fishing boys. And you know I'm going "skin side down".

As long as its not catch and release fishing. Just imagine if you took any other animal, poked a hole in its cheek, and threw it back. You would be arrested for animal abuse.

Eat it or just leave it alone.

When people ask if I like fishing I say “no, but I do like getting drunk next to a lake, so yes”

It was out of commission during a chunk of the social media boom and is now a public skatepark. It make since.

Imagine if Love was suddenly on back and a public park. You’d be sick of that too.

Doobie can expand market share in Europe / France (with the help of the current momentum of Vans Europe and their regular quality videos)
Nick would just be another US pro (and kinda niche)

(just like Kyonosuke went pro before Dylan)

It's a matter of weeks anyway

bowling is a better hobby than fishing and golf and more skaters should embrace it
