I don't feel annoyed that old pros have stuck around, I like a lot of old pros. I think it's now harder for younger pros to actually stand out in the murky landscape of social media and shit like that, same with companies and especially when older pros have shit they've been in like video games or are remembered as a popculture thing like video games or shit like Crail, DC and Element being involved with movies and TV and shit.
I know blaming socials is the easy way out but really that's the only way I can describe that shit but it's hard to compete with 80 white dudes from LA in old-skools and highwaters or the Berrics trying to give the fucking most cooked people careers like Burberry bastard. Only other way is to get on a brand with either legacy or legacy lineage, or propped up by old pros who've had amazing careers. Or be a youtuber. But at the end of the day, a lot of really good and charismatic people who should have careers get sidelined for kooks and abhorrent people, and always has been because pro skating is still a marketing thing, yanno.
