This website served like a light bulb of sorts for me.
It made me think - and ponder on - whether or not style is still present among us skating aficionados. Do you think skateboarders of today still care about how they look? Or is the name of the game purely skateboarding skills?

WHAT SKATING STUFF DID YOU GET FOR YOURSELF THIS YEAR?

Yup, I know what you’re thinking. That’s more like a REAL off-road vehicle instead of just an 800-watt offroader SKATEBOARD.
Now the question is — are electric skateboards really the answer?
How will the existence of electric skateboards change the face of skateboarding? Of games? Of competitions? Will skaters, both neophytes and professionals, like these babies? And […]
