Karl,
What do you think of English skaters?
And do you agree that it's a ton harder for UK skaters to get coverage they deserve due to lack of perfect spots and companies all being based in the US?
I'll answer it too. That industry, those magazines, and the photographers and filmers that film for it are from the U.S., built from an industry started in the U.S. It's not like God came down and said that people in the states deserve coverage and people in the U.K. don't. The fact is that the U.S. built its own scene and sponsored skaters from that scene. The fact that U.K. skaters want to be part of the U.S. industry is kind of dumb. You want more industry in the UK? Start a magazine, start a company, build a spot. The U.S. industry doesn't owe the U.K. shit. Fucking entitled Europeans need to realize it has been well established you aren't the center of the Universe.
Also, most cities in the U.S. are rough. Just because SD and LA are smooth doesn't mean the other 98% of America is always skating smooth spots
