I dislike the two ends of the spectrum:
There are those who will do every single little thing in their power to imitate their skate idols, which is kinda creepy.
And there are those who just wail on trends all day everyday, which begs the question, what ISN'T trendy?
(I guess if you dressed like Pauly D...hahah)
Either way, trends are inevitable. Shouldn't let them run your life whether you like them or hate em.
