Will factions be a fact of skating?
Rap. That music has such horrible concepts in and yet, it's community, the so-called hip-hop community constantly gets more people in it. Now it's invading skating. Look at Supra. Gold, shiny, fancy writing. The greed aspect of rap. Look at Transworld's statement that not buying proboards is not supporting skating. The people who want skateboard to become a part of rap are one group. Let's look at the other group. The people who present an extremist punk view of skating (like the band NOFX, which I like). They are so extreme, that it's not that workable. And then we have people in between. Those are most people, I believe. At the rate things are going skating will break into little tiny factions. Do we want this? I say no factions.

I'm just saying that Rap has no place in skating
Why?
I'm referring to the culture (the "hip hop community") not the music. That should clarify this.
No, it doesn't at all. The hip-hop community and hip-hop music are essentially the same thing. One would not exist without the other. If you don't like rap, that's fine. But saying that people shouldn't listen to rap because they're skaters, and that means they do THIS, THIS, and THIS, is just dumb.
Saying that a group (skaters in this case), that is defined by what they do (skateboarding)should further be defined by what music they listen to, is nothing short of retarded.
Wanted to make it clear that this is Telk Zelmanov.
I don't give a shit about what music people listen to. It's the culture entering skating's culture that's the problem. Should I hire a diplomat to make myself more clear?
We read you loud and clear. However, you happen to be retarded.
Hey, where did you get your name?
