There’s a dude at my work (sheet metal fabrication) who’s a “skater.” He’s about 30 years old, has a beard/mustache combo like a Viking (huge influence on everything this guy models himself after), and only acknowledges Creature skateboards. It’s like to him, that’s the only “true” form of skateboarding and skateboarders worth supporting. He skates in FP shoes (when he does skate). He pays cash for them. He’s the type of person who thinks they’re incredible shoes. “They’re the only shoe that doesn’t make my feet hurt. And they’re basically indestructible, they last forever. I’m not the type of person who cares about what my shoes look like.” Also, this guy is a huge racist.
