Does his name sell boards?

Yes: he deserves it
No: he doesn't deserve it.

Remember, this is the same industry that elevated Tom Green to the pro ranks alongside Tony Hawk and Andrew Reynolds. We're talking post 900 Tony and SOTY rookie pro Andrew, at the forefront of the industry. And it wasn't just a guest board, dude was legitimately on the team. All off of an MTV show, a really bad movie, and boneless variations.

With that in mind, doesn't it seem like Ben is a bit more deserving of it?

no, this is completely the same situation

But with more details. Right?

why are people complaining about his fits? has he said or done anything to make you think he's a neo-nazi?
[close]

No, he hasn't literally said anything, or else I'd be like "fuck him".

The clothing you choose to wear is a form of communication though, and your decisions say something about you.

I was just trying to point out that he should be more aware of what messages he may be giving off by some of his choices.


It's also possible people's opinions on the topic, may largely be effected by what kind of area they live in?

I buzz my head down once or twice a week, and would definitely not feel comfortable walking around a lot of areas near me, in one of Ben's "Doc Marten's and ill-fitting pants" get-ups.

Don't mean to be negative on the guy, I've said mainly positive things about him. It's just he's shown himself to be a thoughtful and intellectually curious person in other respects, there's no reason not to apply those qualities to new areas.


Jesus fucking christ, not this shit again.

When did skateboarding become this regular that people literally want to tell others how to dress because, god forbid, one person in a million might make a nonexistent "connection" and have their butthole all hurt by it because they don't know how to exist in modern society without being offended at everything they don't like?

What really seals it is your implying that his being "thoughtful and intellectually curious person" (as if you know Kadow) status in your mind is based on whether you see a fucking Rorschach blot swastika in whatever the dude wears.  Yeah, your being offended that somehow Kadow is going to cause the rise of the 4th Reich by wearing goofy outfits is a major problem, man, this is serious stuff.  It makes me weep for humanity when I read this sort of thing.

Really, this is exactly why I've skated solo the past decade, I just don't know when so many people became brain-dead kooks who spend more time caring about being PC in all regards white-knighting for some supposedly offended individuals that they have yet to encounter than worrying about things of importance.

If he looks like a skinhead to you, ,then you've never been around skinheads. He wears band shirts and black jeans. Not sketchy. At all.

Post your fit son

Joking. Not just in Ben's case but fashion is as important as skating itself if not more with the fanboys these days. Who the fuck cares who wears what

You seem way more unreasonable and offended than me, honestly. Not to mention you blatantly mis-stating and mis-representing a lot of what I said. My criticisms were fairly mild, and not attacks on him at all.

I don't see "maybe just try not to dress in a way, that would lead a lot of people to think you might sympathize with Nazis (especially considering the resurgance of that style of thinking is legitimately going on right now)" as being all that unreasonable.

The part about him clearly not being a dummy, is based on interviews I've read with him, where I was impressed by him seeming more intelligent than I previously believed. You are correct though, I've never actually met him.

Sorry you skated alone for ten years. That sounds really sad honestly. If you're ever in Philly, we can meet up.

The food/music/people/culture/nightlife would be boring as fuck?

There's tons of places in the U.S. (I realize this isn't quite what you asked), that are pretty much all white, with super traditional "white culture". Move there then.

I think the real question is, what the fuck is wrong with someone, who is so afraid of "outsiders", that they would want to live somewhere like that.

This is not real life, it's just Slap. I bet no one even told BenK anything in real life, 90% people here embracing this PC bullshit would shite themselves just thinking about actually approach said pros and discuss about this stuff so that's why they sometimes resort to the message boards. Sometimes they are also grown ass men, so their chances of changing their behaviour are low. And that's sad. But you should just take it easy.

The dude rips and will obviously sell boards. That's why board companies turn people pro.
As far as the skinhead stuff, he is on the company with all the whites..

If you really wanna experience it, go to some extremely xenophobic country like Korea and it'll make more sense.


Do you guys really care about where this guy borrows his fashion sense though? I mean let's be real, if he was really some Neo Nazi then why would he choose to wear a brand of jeans that was created by a German Ashkenazi Jew?

Right, because like gender, race is just a social construct!   Everyone should join together and hold hands!   Imagine it, it's easy if you try!

John Lennon said that!   I'm supposed to like him!
