Professional skateboarders sabotaging tricks, slashing tires, fighting / threatening each other, and then denying one another hospitality... that episode kinda took a turn for the worse. Major bummer to have talented dudes vibe each other out at a spot, kinda takes away from the stoke of skateboarding.
Perhaps this is just a result of the act of bringing competition into skateboarding. It makes for good entertainment, but anyone who has ever had beef with someone else knows it's not a pleasant feeling.
It's like vultures chomping at the bits of a freshly killed carcass.
Then again this was the result of a situation where first come is first served, who ever rolled away from a challenge was the winner. Andy Roy said it was a war and wars are never fun.
