It's become more about the fashion... lol

this is scary but that's the price you pay to have your pros make tons of dough

I don't think Curren Caples or Louie Lopez are that good. I don't care if they're 14 years old. They do the same shit in every video.

can't they all just have reality tv shows so i can afford a shirt?

"bieber on wheels" sucks. but on the other hand i'm not scared of this thing, 'cause trends just come and go, even if this little bieberclon is good, he's still 14 and time will show him that every trend has both sides, and tomorrow noone cares about it anymore. so what's the deal? skating had everything from short shorts, to pink, to emo, to hobo, to baggys and whatnot... if skateboarding isn't tolerant and openminded, what else is???

and btw, hasn't skateboarding been a fashionstunt all the time....

^ this... more now than ever... making it less tolerant and openminded than ever...

To me this seems like an innocent thing, until the editors (I presume) added the line about bieber. I could bet a few dollars Caples isn't cool with that.

about the fashion thing... hate it. coming down to the skatepark seeing kids all dressed the same, trying the same tricks with the same 'steeze'. geez..

what do you expect from the mainstream media?

[Cookiesupporter]

I don't care about stuff like that. Maybe skateboarding will be more present in the media (in europe, dunno how much skateboarding there is in american TV)...so what? It's still skateboarding, still fun.
The fashion thing is kind of strange I think, cause many kids look like clones but it's not a problem and not my business. As long as I can skate for myself and have fun with others, everything is good

essence of what skateboarding is / should be in one sentence <3
