A Thought For The Weekend...

If you truly love skateboarding, it will love you back.

Many people make a lot of money off of skateboarding. Do the companies you support and spend your hard-earned money with respect skateboarding? Are they giving back to skateboarding?

Choose wisely. Stay irreverent. Keep them all on their toes. Make them earn it. Skateboarding didn't come this far because we obey the rules and accept everything that is thrown at us.

    skateboard companies should give back to skating, and try to it better, i think there should be more skate parks around, i was skating the only good spot around my neiborhood and people would tell me to take my board and go somewhere else, geez no one appreciates talent these days.

    Although there is alot of love within the realm of skateboarding. I've noticed alot of problems with hate or dislike towards peers. So my Question to anyone is, are the haters considered skaters or merly distractions, for the true love?

    people at my school take skateboarding as a smoking, drinking, cursing type deal and it's not at all. I don't smoke, curse, or drink and I skateboard. At my school if you wear skateing clothes such as Etnies, Volcom, Almost, etc. and don't do the skateing thing at my school (i.e. smoking, cursing, etc.) then you are considered a poser and so i keep my skateboarding on teh DL because I don't want to be called a poser.

    Kayla...lots of people feel like they have to put a label on everything! ie:poser, player, hater etc.

    My advice is to just be yourself and dont care what others think! Believe me... school will be gone before you know it and none of it will really matter...

    So just do good in school and always always be true to yourself. In the end that is all you will have:)

    etnies has been around for a loong time....since i can remeber. and it always seems that there dedicated to what they do. but now a days u see companies trying to get into skateboaring. its like where the hell were u in the beggining when everything started. they looked at skating back then and thought it was a fad. only now do they see that its here to stay. they see the potential to make money so they try and come into skating now, but what they dont understand is that skating is more of an art form than a bussiness to make money. people can feel when companies are fake and just are out to get there money.

    well sorry to write on and on, but the topic just got me thinking. -keep pushing-

    straight guy man, i just don't know what the fuck to say. like wtf, you like hangin out with fags, but your apperently not. like wtf, how does that even fit. you call them all fags right, and then you go on to say there parties are all about hard core sex, I'm gonna guess you go to those parties to pretend to pass out and see what happens. All the power to ya. Be who you want, but it seems like you and mr.nice are in denial, you two should hook up.

    Whos the prejudice fuck here, I came here with nothing but love for skating. As that went, I was judged upon it, and called a fuckin homo, and why the fuck am I supposed to be wearing tight chick jeans. You guys got issues, I feel sorry for you.

    There doesn't seem to be any fact on this page at all, just random bashing of whoevers opinions, and the venting of issues towards skating (and those guys in the tight pants). So I'm just gonna be straight up with you people, those insecurities of being a gay were'nt mine. I thought I'd see what mr.nice whould say/vent after being given his own medicine.
    ps skating is apart of me I don't think I could give it up if I tried
