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.

I'd like to add that when someone yells "CAR" it means there is a car coming and you should get off the road. Also when someone yells "GET OFF THE ROAD" you should get off the road, not continue to skate and hold up traffic like an idiot.

Venoms are the best bushings. Otangs are the best wheels. Rayne make the best boards. Radelaide has the best groms.

Dave R has the worst profile photo. Makes my stomach turn, haha.

Groms suck. They are cash-less brain-less freeloaders. Most of them have no manners or social skills either.

90% of them are either irritating, humourless, obnoxious, egotistical, smelly or soul-less. They expect everything to be given to them because thats been their life up until now,..... feeding off of their parents.

Get a job or a personality, .....

NO LIFTS FOR GROMS!!!

Several reasons.

1- You just expect someone to take you.- Sorry Im not your soccer mom

2- If you crash, Im the responsible adult.

3- You have no sense of the roads. You have never driven,... dont understand traffic.

4- You got no cash, and you have the nerve to beg me for lunch money. I aint the bank of Matt.

PLUS- Groms suck online too, "What wheel is best????......."

FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT!!!

Oh Dani,... sooooo wrong with your list of what is best ;) But you are entitled to your opinion.

Cant wait to skate with you again bro.

rayne makes pretty good boards but they are too expensive, otangs are great wheels but there are others that are exactly the same. venom makes the best range of bushing that I have tried but there are soo many others that I haven't had a chance on yet.

and this is why as a shop owner I plan to bring in stuff no one else stocks so that I can try it all out.

Yeah I understand why you hate groms so much , but in my skating community theres only about 3 of us that skate Downhill so its hard for us to not want to get involved in skatetrips , but we only talk amongst ourselves about prefered gear.
