Soulless is definitely the word

S*** is honestly sad. I blame Nike for monopolizing the industry (I wear nikes I’m a hypocrite )

Kind of reminds me of what a friend of mine said to me about only watching old skate videos now
Can you go into more detail and touch on more reasons why you think skating is soulless now besides the nike stuff you mentioned?

All of these videos have the same filming and editing styles, everyone wants to be old alien workshop or bill strobeck. All the skaters dress the same and skate similarly depending on who they ride for/hang with. Song choices in videos sucks these days. Everyone is wearing the same shoes. Everything is so fast paced it’s become a chore to keep up with everything and nothing really stands out, you got people posting their Enders on instagram before the video part is even out. S*** is just over saturated and boring, I get way more enjoyment out of watching local kids/my friends skate than these new ams/pros.
We used to have to wait years to see videos, the only content we would get would be photos in magazines and we would have to wait to see the clip and it would hit 10x harder. Teams used to have individuality and everyone would play their own individual role as opposed to being just another skater. The OGs all had huge personalities and were actually interesting individuals, these new kids have 0 personality and only care about skateboarding and grew up in the skatepark training to be as good as they are.
Lastly these kids are just too damn good or just not good at all and get a pass because of their trendy “style” and trendy trick selection. It sounds dumb but idk the last time I was genuinely surprised by a trick, these kids have been ridiculous for like a decade now and nothing is surprising nor exciting, and on the opposite side of the coin you have a million kids wearing polar big boy pants doing 50 wall rides, slappys, no complys etc and that s*** used to be wack as f*** when I was growing up s*** is mad corny to me and is not impressive nor fun to watch.
I still love skateboarding of course but it’s definitely lost a lot of what captivated me as a little kid. I feel like a renaissance is near though, at least I hope
Sorry for the novel I just love and miss this s***
Watching, lot of cool kids on the team now
