Today I’m St with the amazing Joshua Mason been skateboarding for 15 years when people put Olympics and skateboarding together that’s pretty sick right but then what has it done for the sport overall it Set It Off on a whole new trajectory I guess one of the biggest things I think right now
Especially in the Olympic skateboarding is it’s appealed to the masses on such a level that kids get introduced to it much younger and you can see see it as like you know the younger Generations quite quite frankly dominating competition skateboarding for me skateboarding seems pretty gender neutral which pretty class yeah yeah
It’s kind of it’s always been like that in the scene I would say from from what I’ve grown up with um but it just wasn’t appealing to like females in a in a bigger way but it was definitely always acceptant of um any kind of agenda that
Wanted to be involved in it really so you got deck yeah bolts deck bolts these are especially Wheels but you call them trucks no no wheels and then trucks is what they’re mounted onto let’s get a show on the road what do I need to what
