DO YOU EVEN SKATE

There is a lot of debate on who is allowed to wear what clothes. Me personally do not care what anyone wears because everyone has their own personal taste. Some people just take this topic way too serious. For example, there are athletes who might be offended when a non athlete wears sportswear. They might especially be upset when they wear the particular team they play on. Yes this might sound ridiculous but think about where are coming from. These collegiate athletes put in countless hours into their craft and barely have time for anything social. If one day they see someone who is nt apart of their family repping the team that they worked hard for, then they might take offense. This leads me to my next controversial topic about skatewear. We all know that skaters have a sense of fashion that accommodates their skill while looking nice at the same time. They wear baggy and long clothes so if they take a fall, they will not be injured badly. Popular clothing lines such as Thrasher and Diamond Supply have blown up for skaters and their clothing is very attractive as well. So, are there only skaters that wear these clothes? The answer is no. These companies have started to make their profits from non skaters because the clothing is suitable and attractive. Thrasher in particular blew up for teenage girls because a trend came around where the hoodies were being purchased at a rapid rate. So how do the skaters feel about this? I asked one of my good friend Michael who lives here in Chico with me. He says that he does not personally have a problem with the skater fashion of non-skaters but he also believes that the skate community has mixed feelings about this. Only time will tell where this great but non-important debate will take us.
