It's been blown up into this lifestyle ? skateboarding was lifestyle since day one . but it lost track .. i remember times when seeing other skateboarders was rare . you had to be friend with him .. no ther are fucking fashion models on skateboards arrogant like shit . can't name any skaters of the generation b4 ... lifestyle is dying . what i see by the newer generation is holding newcomers with the same look like gods . and don't care about old legends at all . shit the generation right after me , dont even know who donny barley is . or lots of people totally give a fuck about the death of jay adams . lifestyle is dying .. selfish and jealous its hot this days .

I get what you're saying HCH, but you might just be looking at it in a different way.
Skateboarding is becoming renown. Popular, for sure. I don't see how that's a bad thing.
All of the legends want everyone to enjoy it I'm sure. Hey, why do you think Pudwill was stoked to skate with wayne?
Its also progressing, which is what skating is, progression. I get your frustrations, but skating is bigger than the guys who started it now. The skaters aren't hard to come by, but on the flip side there's much more to take in, appreciate, inspiration! Do you know what Rodney Mullen does when he sees new skateboarding? It makes him think, so goes out and has a session even if he can't do what he used to! It's the passion, the love and the dedication everyone has and comes together regardless of their situation, ethnicity, age or even gender! To say certain groups of individuals are bringing skating down is a direct contradiction with the skateboarder's mentality. Now obviously, my opinion. This is what I see though.

Brett Novak apparently has a real knack for finding some crazy creative and tech skaters.
I was already going to skate today but this one made me want to go right now.
So I'll drop this off, if you hadn't seen it.
