    Doesn't look awkward enough on a board to be Wayne.

    Real life recreations. Im not so keen. Whenever I see a 5BORO, SILVER TRUCKS or whatever video, I tend not to watch due to the chances of it being a kid who has been playing for 2 minutes and thinks they are the shit. Also a lot of the time, they feel they should be recognised due to being named after a rl brand.

    It also makes me think of Skate3TeamTheBest or Obey or whatever they are going by now. No effort in their vids and quite frankly are terrible, yet they rack up views when those who spend the time and effort dont get recognised.

    Im more likely to watch 'Team The Shirt Lifters' than I am 'Plan B Skate Team'.

    Not that anyone cares. I dont care. Poop.

    I don't really care one way or another personally, I don't have any problems with teams basing themselves off real companies. If you're enjoying yourself and having fun and contributing to the community, you can call it whatever you want. I might be one of the few but I don't watch videos based on the titles. That being said, Skate 3 is just a game in the scheme of things, it isn't a representation of my creativity or my originality, just a past time. I run a small independant record label and go to University, and design graphics, I put enough creative energy into those to make me feel like I don't need to prove anything with my video game skate team name.

    Nah I didn't mean it in like a "I do so many things I don't have time" type of way, I just simply mean that it's just a game that you play with friends, you say some people are unoriginal for using taken company names, I say some people put too much pride and worth into their online skate teams, but hey we all have our own opinions. I just don't think me saying "yo I'm on this online skate team called "1954"" and me saying "yo I'm on this online skate team called "Omit"" really bear any difference in my mind, they're just skate teams online, the name is really insignificant to me in comparison to the product they create.

    Also designing graphics is definately a fun purusit of a career, unfortunately where I live there just really isn't enough business to keep yourself employed with it, but if you can I assume it'd be a very interesting and unique choice of profession. You wouldn't do the same thing everyday atleast, web-design is actually the way a lot of my friends who pursued design went but most of them had to move away to Montreal or something like that to be successful. Kudos if you can do it though man, I always wondered what you'd actually be "taught" as far as classes go in an art program.

    I started to write a long comment about this. Then I realized I don't care enough to even muster up the words to agree with you Skatehead.

    Bottom line? Honesty. This place needs more honesty, and we shouldn't feel bad calling a wack video wack. Too many "yeah nice vid" in threads with glitchy cams, panbacks, tricks cut off mid clip, bad edits, unoriginal teams, etc. I think if THIS community is going to keep itself from dying... we need to cull the herd.

    Attack the Wack! Attack the Wack! *





    *I am by no means calling anyone specific wack. But if you think I'm talking about you, I might be. lol
