Open letter to groms - add your 2c

Dear Groms......

 

 there is no such thing as a "best" wheel, board, truck, bushing, helmet, glove or anything*. Deal with it.

 

 

Ok people, add your contributions.

ok,since were giving groms a few tips,.stop asking me,kam,jacko,gabe or whoever,how to get sponsored all the time.its not all about being spono'd.

i get hit up on facebook all the time about this and i tell them all the same thing in a polite way,.firstly,learn to skate,be a cool guy,attend events,try to improve your results,dont talk shit,let your skating do the talking,and most of all''GET STOKED FROM SKATING'',go out with a positive attitude and remind yourself that its all about having fun,and sponsorship will come when the time is right..yes you do have to make an effort,and later on a resume of some discription can be handy to,if presented to the right person in the right way.

but yeh,worrying about it and thinking you need a sponsor to get good is not healthy,.if your passionate about somthing and you really want to do well at it,you have to go and grind out the hard yards,work for it,earn it....and then when it comes you will deserve it and respect it.

I can vouch for Beet. He's not a troll, but yeah, he'd make a pretty awesome pirate!

I don't think he really said anything wrong. Just mentioned bad spelling by spelling bad himself.

I thought it was kind of funny,...

This thread IS funny. I loved the bit about the groms with BO.

Retarded thread, Beet's a troll, someone shut it down before it gets even worse

Winge winge winge yak yak yak yak. People talk too much shit before even knowing what's going on. Just rock on in at the last minute and think they know what's what and reckon they can call people out and tell em how it is when they got no idea what's going on. They think they know the scene, hve full understanding of the market and the workings of the longboarding world all from behind the keyboard...

This thread is a message to all those groms who dribble shit, but now it's a general discussion about EVERYONE dribbling shit. Check your status in this longboarding world BEFORE you think you know what's what... Too many people rocking up at the last minute and telling everyone else how it is. News for you guys: we built this house with our BARE hands, and your coming in with bulldozers.

I've said this many many times before in a bunch of different ways: stop keyboarding, start skateboarding...

If it upsets you that much we should shut it down.

Maybe you know someone who can make it happen.
