I love skating...but I find it so amusing that people think that most new black skaters do it because of lupe and pharell...untrue. I was skating before either one of them came out and I think that being black, before those guys came out, skating was considered taboo. It was just something that black kids weren't supposed to do, but now that more people are getting into it, I personally think that it is good for skating. Chalking up skating to two people is the same thing as saying that black kids only rock vans because of the pack....

i skated before both of them too. i never thought it was something black kids weren't supposed to do, or taboo. i never knew anyone to care either way.

Yeah like out in the city it's cool because everybody pretty much skates out there...Over in Jersey City however, there weren't that many black skaters, and the ones who did skate always recieved hell from everybody else. |

Very thats why I find it funny when people say..." Oh you skate because of lupe and pharrell or you wear vans because of the pack." I think once people realized that it was okay to do, more and more people got into it.
