The hate here is so pointless. It's not the coolest thing in the world to self-cheer on a skateboard but the guy is just hyped, give him a break. And forget the cocaine rumors, he's not on it. I've been to a contest with this guy and he's hella nice. And at the competitions, he's just hungry. And I don't see nothing wrong with that - if you enter one, why not give it a try for real? There's often money on the table and if you want it, you better go for it.
And how much money he won that Paris weekend? I bet you'd be holding your arms straigh up in the air if you'd realize that the loot is coming your way. And how about those tricks? I know I'd shitting my pants from joy jumping down that shit if I could pull those manouvers.
