<p>Radelaide groms gave me new found confidence in the intelligence of kids. Have met some awesome groms! Smart, polite, witty groms. I think a lot of it is how people are online as opposed to real life. People are different I think. Some super annoying groms on my facebook but I would still hang out and skate with them because I know that they are rad in the real world. All in all, groms are awesome and because of them kids don't scare the crap out of me anymore!</p>

<p>I don't know if I'm high or whatever, but Canberra groms seem to be bearable if not quite personable and generally good chaps. Sure they won't come to races or anything unless you post it on facebook and they spend half their time talking about school, but fuck me! they actually listen to you and can hold an intelligent conversation. They don't ask you what wheels are best and will actually try figure shit out for them selves. GOOD WORK CANBERRA GROMS (I know you won't read this because it…</p>

<p>Fun and games is all good,having a joke and ocassionaly stiring the pot definetly adds some humour,but a lot of people want to also read some substantial and informative content,.especially from the people who have contributed a lot of their lives to the cause,and actually have lots to give.</p>
<p>Dont want to sound like im taking sides,as everyone has lots to offer this great community,.but jackos dedication to every avenue within this sport is not even remotely questionable..if you are unaware of all the facts,its probably a good idea to keep your opinions to yourselves,</p>
<p>cant even believe this has to be said,as 98% of people involved in skateboard racing know this,.but apart from his own goals he has been successfully seeking,.he has already put on more events,gave more advice,committed more time,spread more stoke,made more films and skated more klms of bitumen than most people ever will,</p>
<p>it is the people who are most passionate about somthing that are always the big contributors toward it,.</p>
<p> to see the growth and how things have become is a very satisfying high that noone will ever bring us down from.</p>
<p>without industry leaders, role models,and good riders to look up to,and people willing to devote their time,the sport is doomed...</p>
