I remember the mystique of my favorite skater, all you got was a few snippets in a video of them talking and maybe a lifestyle photo while on tour. You just saw them skating and had your own ideas about who they were and how they felt about things.
Now you know when they take a shit or when things go bad business wise.
Then again the epicly laterds about cardiel,ba and max schaaf were really cool and in depth, so it's a wash I suppose.
