I lost respect for him a while ago. I know alot defend him and say his style and what he has done thru the years, but this is where that comment is bogus as shit. He is 27-30 somewhere in there, you see guys normally regress from age past 35 (Carroll and some of the girl camp is excluded!) and his career isnt even half as influencial as those guys. He seems to act like he has led some epic skate career, that is ignorant! What he is putting out, a ton of skaters could do but here is the kicker guys; He gets paid for this, he has a pro shoe for this, and he has a pro deck from this which he gets the revenue for, as for you guys none of the above, just hopes and dreams. Im not saying you skate for sponsorship and to get famous. None of us started skating with strickly that mentality, but to focus more on things other than skating, and sit back and milk the perks from pro skating while not doing it(cmon it shows!) I think is pretty lame.
