9 Most Hated Pro Skateboarders

9 Most Hated Pro Skateboarders
Rad Rat: • Berra's Fake Spots? #A...
So this video is a little different than what I normally do. I wanted to experiment with this type of content just in case I'm ever sick or there's bad weather and I can't get out to skate. I will always continue to do how to's so don't worry.
Let me know what you think about this type of video where I talk a little about things within the skate scene.
As always, thank you for watching, and I will see you next time! :)

No, selling out is pimping the grass-roots merits of your community to the mainstream,, it's pissing away your underground cred, and eventually your artistic integrity. Whoring everything spiritually valuable in exchange for financial success and celebrity status. We hate poseurs and sellouts because they break the implicit bonds that make this shit worth doing.

[@KillingSpreeXLWDGNG]

@@StephaneVorstellung things like "underground cred" "spiritually valuable" dont put food on the table and its pathetic that people dont mind someone staying broke and struggling just to maintain some bs moralistic light in bystanders eyes. Its a crabs in a bucket mentality. Nobody successful and well-off calls someone else a sellout. Its always the ones struggling to get out of thr bucket themselves Remember that.

[@StephaneVorstellung]

It''s sad there are people who believe skateboarding is a path to financial security and a healthy retirement savings. ("I do less vert now because I wanted to diversify my securities portfolio...how's that sound?"). Look: If you get the chance to go pro for a while, great. If you can get your own company off the ground, great. Otherwise skate and get a goddamned job.This isn't about putting bread on the table, it's about which side of culture are you playing for. The way you shill for the commercial aspects of the sport would make my step-father really proud. Tell you what, leave your number: I'll pass it on and you two can set up a power lunch.

[@shockr3m1x8]

TwistedFoo you seem like an ACE family fan

[@poetsrear]

It's not the success but what you make out of it. Listen carefully, skateboarders never get anything easy. It's about physical labour, dedication, putting yourself on the line, injuries, grit, continuous practice, getting hated, mental breakdowns, creativity, frustration and neverending amounts of attempts for 1.5 seconds of footage; literally people drive 3 hours back and forth to a spot to get bruised and kicked out and will do it as many fucking times as it takes to get the clip. It takes as much resilience as being a soldier, but you also have the artistic aspect of it too. I think a top ranking skateboarder should take pride in this quality within them and represent skateboarding accordingly. Champagne, Bugatti, pool parties and lofty manors don't represent that. Those represent easy luxurious life of a playboy or a businessman who took advantage of the labour of others. I really don't care what Nyjah or the others do with their money, but it doesn't properly represent skateboarding to the wide audience. Skateboarding isn't about the high life. You, who clearly know nothing of it should shove your uninformed and misguided opinions and let skateboarders choose what to do do with their art. IT'S OURS. NOT YOURS.

‘Hate’ is a really strong word when used in its proper context. And using it in this video really highlights how bastardized the word has become. Hate implies severe, personal disdain. I’m sorry, but when you’re not personally involved with a situation, unless the subject matter is absolutely diabolical, nobody is going to truly ‘hate’ anybody in this video, except perhaps the murderer. And anybody who does legitimately waste time ‘hating’ a celebrity for events completely outside of their own reality, has legitimate personal issues, and an absolute lack of prioritizing issues of personal importance.

The phrase "sellout" is so damn stupid. It's a word people who aren't as successful as other people use because they're jealous of someone else's success. Did Lewis Hamilton "sellout" when he started driving for Mercedes' F1 team and became world famous for his abilities? ...no, it's because he's one of the best drivers in the world. Did Rob Dyrdek "sellout" by starting SLS? No...he created a platform for more skaters to be recognized and acknowledged for their talent on a huge public stage. Did Tony Hawk "sellout" when he became the first person to land a 900* then go on to lend his name and reputation to an entire series of video games that probably got hundreds of thousands, if not more people into skating? No. All of these people that are "sellouts" are responsible for entire generations, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of new people getting into the sport. If selling out means getting more and more people interested in whatever sport you do, then I'd sell out any day. The people who are responsible for deaths and other terrible choices are deservedly disliked. The people who are mostly responsible for basically the entire current generation of professional skaters should be cherished.

honestly, some people just oversaturate the term “sellout”. while yes, there are people who unfairly and greedily capitalize on their careers, many are just trying to achieve their dreams and make it out of the bends. everyone has their own version of success, so try to be a little considerate and appreciative that some people are successful in the skateboarding world. not to mention they worked HARD to get to where they are.

Let's not forget that Rob Dyrdek started a nation wide skatepark revolution and laid the foundation for how street focused skateparks should be built. When the DC Skateplaza opened in Ohio, he put out a DVD called "Groundbreaking" with footage from opening day, but more importantly it had tips for cities looking to build parks of their own. He discussed building materials, ledge and handrail heights, even where to make relief cuts in the ground relative to the top of a staircase so the crack wouldn't be too close to the stairs. The idea was to take the DVD to your own city so they could get the ball rolling and build a park that people would actually want to skate.

Not really.. Skating is a subculture, close to other subcultures like hip-hop/metal or graffiti. It definitely belongs to the youth and on the streets, where it can get also rough sometimes. So on this planet are a lot of people having fun together on their boards with friends and so on, and a really small amount of those skaters became a professional. Nothing bad at first, but when you see then some of them driving around in Lamborghinis and wearing a Rolex, being arrogant and so on.. you might get the feeling that the spirit and the message beyond gets totally lost. And this is really sad, because this few ones are representing skateboarding in the publicity. No matter how talented you are, but in the end it is about skating, not posing, right?

True story: I grew up in San Francisco in the 90’s when skateboarding was at its peak in popularity. I’ve met some funny, outgoing, and all around cool guys (Mitch, Ritch, Toad, and Carey Staton / Stayton, spelling? The guy used to ride for Freedumb) but there was one person I met, that without a doubt, was an absolute douche-canoe. My friends and I used to frequent FTC and one day when we made our ritualistic stop there to see Dan (one of the clerks who has worked there for years), were stunned to see none other than Mike Carrol step into the shop. Mike was preparing a new deck for himself and he threw his older (barely used) deck in the tiny green garbage bin that hung on the wall. One of my friends Kier said, “Sweet a new board,” and decided to snag the deck. Mike then grabs the board out of my friend’s hand and says, “If you want one of my products kid, pay for it!” After Mike threw the board back into the waste bin my friends and I collectively gave Dan a look of astonishment, and Dan (understandably), turned his head and looked the other way with a look that definitely told us he agreed with us but didn’t want to start anything with Mike. After Mike’s distasteful display of egotistical douchebaggery, we called him a faggot, told him what he could do with his precious skateboard and told him every skater we met that day, we would express to them what a pissant he was. We did exactly that moments after we left the shop and told some skaters approaching the shop. What’s funny is after we quickly relayed to these strangers what just transpired; they looked at us and asked if we were being serious. Of course we insisted we were and immediately after that those skaters walked into FTC and started giving Mike a hard time. (We could hear it as we were walking away) Good times guys, lol, good times.

There are plenty of skateboarders that got rich from skateboarding and stayed rich from the companies they created. They didn't have to get a reality show or compromise themselves in order to make money.
