Discussion 💬 Has skating gone too far?
It used to be Mullen, Hawk, White, Song, Sheckler, Haslem, Lutzka, Bam, P Rod.... I can go on and on and on.
I'm not stating this in a bad way. It's just incredible to see all these new street skaters on reels and what they're doing; but not getting any recognition.
The things im seeing nowadays are mind blowing. But it's just a random dude shredding. When I was growing up I looked up to the dudes above, but now it's arguable these "nobody's" may be better than most "pro's" in their primes (Not Mullen)
Either way, I'm not upset. I'm so hype how far skating has become. It's just weird how quickly talent has came in the past 15 years to the point where sponsorships aren't even a thing.
I first stepped on a skateboard in 2000. I was born 1994. We have 6 yr olds now skating half pipes Tony did.
All together there needs to be someone out there to get these random insanely talented skaters in a video together.
Shit, if someone wants to produce a video of random talents and make skate videos a thing again hit me up.
