supporting nike is not supporting skateboarding.
supporting nike has nothing to do with skateboarding at all...
putting the words 'skateboard" and "nike" in the same sentence makes no sense whats so ever.

if you understood skateboarding.
you wouldnt even have this conversation.

nike is not..
will not..
no matter what they do for the rest of its lifetime.
have anything to do with skateboarding.

if you understood skateboarding youd understand this.

ive argued with clay over live many of times about this.
but.
clay wants them..
he likes the look...
there comfy...
so be it.
it still doesnt change the fact that skateboarding to nike is purely dollars and cents.

back when nike started there bullshit the first time kids got jacked and there shoes ended up on the telephone wires.

for a reason.
