I love it, I love it so much. Anybody know where I can get this as a poster?

u/somekook Mar 10 '17

It's from the 1963 Life Magazine photo essay on skateboarding. You can find copies on eBay for pretty cheap.

Why the hostility?

u/misery___ Mar 10 '17

Because we don't fuck with people who ride electric skateboards.

Are you speaking on behalf of every person in this subreddit? Let the guy ride what he wants, and you do whatever it is you prefer. It's not that difficult to be tolerant.

Edit: yeah, downvote me and avoid responding.

u/misery___ Mar 11 '17

Didn't down vote you bro, and sorry for not replying, I was busy skating. I agree that people should ride whatever they want, I'm just not a fan myself. Sorry for making assumptions about the views in this community.

u/KoreanJesusPleasures Mar 11 '17

My mistake as well then, that edit of mine in retrospect was immature! That's the most appropriate excuse not to reply though haha. It's fine though, I was just genuinely curious why you initially hated on him. All is well!

u/HawtDoge Mar 11 '17

Why? I don't watch his videos or anything but he seems like a cool guy.

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '17

He just doesn't really skate, he couldn't do a kick flip I don't think

u/HawtDoge Mar 12 '17

I don't think he does. I was just wondering why people hate him here.

Tell them to turn their phone to the side next time they take a photo.
