I;m sure i;m not the only dc/monster/subaru type guy here
There's a false ceiling on tricks. Every pro and am can do stuff twice as hard/good as what they put out. To keep steady progression and not have the level rise too high and too fast, to keep the older generation of pro's valid. That's why dum am's like nick merlino got silenced and sent to foundation when he was killing it when he was baker flow.

I remember an interview with Merlino where he says that he heard that Batface was threatened by his skating.

Being short is the motorcycle of life.
people like you are the people who ruin skateboarding and slap 2g
Tony Hawk is a pot head, and I think that's cool.
Markovic dated shorty's Rosa and Danny Way was the first guy doing a 900...he claimed it in his interview in tws october 1991!

Edit: I thought of one, maybe this is self-evident to some but skate magazines have pretty heavy politics on who can be in a magazine. Since there is so little editorial space you usually need sponsors that pay advertising dollars to get photos run. I have a friend who was supposed to get an interview in a major magazine, his main sponsor stopped advertising in the magazine and they pulled the interview. Additionally, a photo usually needs to be taken by a photographer with a name or a known skater - the rationale for this is usually that it spreads the wealth/opportunities/exposure to those who are already established but a bi-product of this is that it creates a ceiling for newcomers. Lastly, and one I think some of you have heard is that those who pay more advertising dollars have requested that their rider get a photo run over another skater (if they did the same trick) or request their rider be put on a cover over another skater.

Studies actually show that, in fact, nobody fits well on Krooked.
jon allie never actually cut the rail that slash was trying to skate, but a second rail cutter on the grassy knoll did it. jon allie was the fall guy
Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year
skating is all about choosing your outfit very deliberately, going out in public. looking super sick. and then riding your board a little bit

This old vert pro Jeff Jones actually claimed the 900 back in the '80s.

The entire industry really does have it out for Brian Wenning.Berra and Koston are fighting Scientology from the inside.Jaws doesn't really jump down big shit. His filmer just uses advanced camera techniques and Photoshop is rampant in the entire industry.
Andrew Reynolds = Benjamin Button.
