i put the action in action sports. (1/12)

dear ryan sheckler, i liked you a lot more before you turned into such a massive whore.

Chaz Ortiz is full fledged pro as of today. he won the fourth stop of the 08 dew tour. this kid's 14, and he makes me so excited for the future of skateboarding.
there's a lot about street skating that i don't like. it could be the seemingly personal bias of the judges that bleeds onto the scoreboard. it could be the overtly competitive attitude of street skaters. it could be the shecklerettes. or it might just not be high enough, fast enough, and dangerous enough to hold my interest for very long. but there's just something about a kickflip frontside boardside/kickflip out, that gets me really excited.
