Smitty......My 16 yr old is the bomb along with his whole posse. These skaters have there on heros, clothing, shoes, culture, vocabulary etc etc.....I can spend 30 mins. around them and not understand what planet their from but all good kids. Their idols make fortunes. The endorsements these pro skaters get rival anyone in any entertainment field....It took me a long time to appreciate how fearless these kids are and believe me they wear their battle scars with pride. I just keep reminding folks that they were kids once and don't forget beatniks,hippies,disco,etc.............
