Also, its easy to critique someone or something annoymously without having yourself judged like that.
Although i think the MASH thing is over-hyped...Id like to see the CL poster ride.
Where's his superior video?

I think the idea is that freestyle fixed is stupid, not that he is better at it.

Depends on if the X-Games picks up brakeless FG riding... both race (with "rad" engineered to be like real street course) and freestyle. This is the same crap that happened to skating over 20 years ago.

So wait, someone offered to pay full price for a used wheel, and that offended you?

I'd say yes. Not because I'm some elitist, though. The same **** happens in everything that was once "underground" but then gets thrust into the spotlight. I grew up in the hardcore/sxe scene in SF/Oakland/Santa Cruz in the mid-90s and can tell you that out of the 100 or so edge kids I used to bro down with, there's maybe five that I know of who are still edge. With two exceptions that I can recall, it was always the "straight edge champions" who peaced out the quickest after it wasn't "cool" to be edge anymore.

Whatever though, there's no reason to hate on anyone, time is the true test... let pretentious jerks be pretentious jerks and concentrate on your own life; the universe has a strange way of balancing itself out.

do you guys think thats true?
