    Good lord …looks like today’s skater is more of a social commentator than an aspiring ripper. I see more classification of persons going on than skating out of most. Focus on your own skating/appearance and this might not be such a problem.

    I think street is hella dumb too. It’s technically brilliant but it’s just not aesthetically appealing to me. My now 50+ year old style evolved in pools and concrete parks, snake runs and bowls. There’s no flow in street. Jay was the most important sk8r that ever lived. No Jay, no golden age. No golden age, no modern age.
