Most of them don,t give a shit what is said on here.Why would they?
This is for people like me and you who have nowhere to voice our useless opions.
Why would they care what is said? Why would they care what kids think about them, their sponsors, their tricks, their video parts? Because all of that is how they get paid. Pros don't get paid to do tricks, they get paid to have a marketable name. Doing tricks and dressing silly are two ways of doing so. Like another kid said, this shit is free marketting research.
To me it seems like nike used the shit out of messageboards to figure out how to break in.
