Eltiraaz- yea thats kinda like me, i can still do a few tricks, a shove-it, and sometimes a kick-flip, but i kinda stoped...it was over winter...it got really cold, and snow, the i realized i didnt want to screw up my soccer carrier by shattering something...

 

and yes, WAY to many people are into it for the wrong reasons...i got into it to have fun and hang with friends...

HAHA I guess we're more alike then I thought, I'm a big soccer player aswell. :D I can shoveit and pop shove-it too, I forgot about those moves. I can do some cruddy stalls aswell, but, they're cruddy. :P

 

I must admit when I got into skateing I did it for the wrong reasons aswell but once I was into the scene, I realized how packaged the coolness was. Kids were starting because it was 'punk' and being punk was cool. :rolleyes: It amazes me how hypocritical that statement is. The whole punk movement was started as an attempt at being different and original, and staying away from the norm. But then once punk started to become popularized, you saw it get diluted so it could be packaged and sold to everyone - which was really against what being punk was all about. Now I catagorize it into pop-punk (stuff that is brand name, mass manufactured but has a label on it that says 'punk') and true-punk (people that are different, spunky, unique, etc - dont want to formalize). I could go on and on about this, and turn it into a music discussion and eventually a discussion on people perspectives of their own life, but for the moment I'll leave it where it is. I'm OT enough as it is.. :D
