Okay COTG, you said
"People that "skate everything" are lame, because they're mediocre at all the aspects usually, Jack of all trades master of none. That shits lame. Until there are more kids like langi and ben hatchell that are actually decent at all the aspects of skating, it means nothing.
as far as old goes, when you're around 25 you should start transitioning into skating transition, so when you're truly old(in skateboarding) like 30+ you can go to channel street or something and not get laughed at by the young kids."
I see.
So I guess it's safe to say that you're not a fan of guys like Keegan, McCrank or Rattray for example, or even Daewon or Haslam, because all of those guys "skate everything" and they are pretty fucking far from mediocre.
Or were you just talking about regular Joes that aren't pros?
Yeah, because then there are guys out there (like me) that aren't exactly shredders on everything or even one specific thing for that matter, but aren't fucking slouches at them either.
Maybe it's just me then, I'd rather be at least decent and somewhat proficient on almost everything instead of just being really, really good at just one specific style of skating, and not having a fucking clue at others.
It just opens you up to enjoy more shit and no matter where you end up sessioning, you'll be fine and not completely fucking lost and not able to do jack shit in certain situations.
As far as what you think about age, that's pretty crazy but I didn't expect much different.
I'm guessing you're like 20-21, around there right?
Are you telling me that in 4 or 5 years you're going to be moving out of the streets and concentrating on skating transitions?
Really?
And 30+ is truly old?
Do you have any idea how many fucking ridiculously good pros out there are 30+?
I'm just saying, pro or not, not everybody that age or older is a bowl barney that can't 360 flip or nollie heel, you do realize that is possible don't you?
Anyway, I just fail to see how people would want to limit themselves like that.
You should be stoked, you have a bunch of good parks in L.A., why only skate Wilmington or the LA plaza when just off the top of my head there's Culver, Hawthorne, and the new Venice park too? I'm sure there's more.
I've been to Wilmington a couple of times, it was okay. I had fun there but I wouldn't want to stay there all day. Why not at least mix it up now and then, step out of your comfort zone?
Just a suggestion, don't trip.
I'm sure you'll have something to say but that's part of what makes this all so fun.
Later.
