Street is gay. If the state I live in and currently pay taxes in wants to offer me perfect bowls and concrete plus no tickets for skating then that seems like a pretty fucking good deal to me. Vert started skating as a whole. You don’t even know who Shogo and Jay were. Fucking learn about what you participate in nerd

What about the old guys who never quit but now have to fit in skate time between their commitments to their career and family. Maybe show the old guys some respect, it might be you in twenty years. I doubt it though.
