I agree with you 100% on that one. It especially sucks when you have tattoos and have been wearing Vans since 1996 when you started skating. God forbid you roll across another dude on a fixed gear who has his ears gauged and the plaid button up shirt and the whole 9 and it's like "dude, you goin to the show tonight at the VFW....." and I'm like "nah, I'm just gonna go ride my bike and eat a cheesesteak and have a New Castle" haha
