@thewarreport23 The internet is an aspect but also the ratio of old vs young buck is just wayyyyyy off. So it’s perceived as an old head activity. Why would a kid want to do something old people do.

hey i have a theory that the decline of youth participation in skateboarding is completely because of braille and revive and youtube bullshit thank you for listening

@shilohikem When enough time passes everything is cringe. Skating has been the hellride vibe for long enough for it to not be cool anymore and to be seen as an old head activity. And the activity is gate kept by people who have that vibe

my most boomer take is that kids are too lazy/distracted to put time into learning a hard skill lol

They want you to think it’s “surfing,” but the real answer is, oddly enough, the Military Industrial Complex.

California became the birthplace and Mecca of skateboarding because of it’s proximity to something that has nothing to do with skateboarding. What is that thing?

@FragileRandle @cnkerr But it’s political in nature. It’s a sub culture that challenges the status quo. Actually you can argue that it’s none of these things anymore but at its core it is and It’s very important it stays that way.

@FragileRandle @cnkerr “both sides are bad and hypocritical” which yes is a start but it’s extremely short sighted lacking any depth and nuance.
English
@FragileRandle @cnkerr Yeah I did too and I was 14 lol. We didn’t know any better yet. I’m not sure who you’re talking to unless it’s maga then yes I agree. Being educated on why we have the problems we do shouldn’t be bizarre. It’s scary that it is. I think you’re referring to identity politics here.

Will someone tell these pro skaters who “don’t do politics” that they should probably shut the fuck WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS.

I will never understand this take on a subculture born along side/adjacent to VERY POLITICAL genres like punk and hip hop.
