Golden Age of Skating

This week's ASK THE PRO question comes to us by Interstate member Dusty Payne.
His question:
Do you think skateboarding is getting a little too popular and too mainstream? Do you like it better now, or the way it was like 10-15 years ago when it was a little more obscure?
Rodney Jones of Positiv is this month's PRO and had this response.
"Every era has been good to me. Its been one hell of a ride and I made a life out of it.
Now there is more recognition for skating. We are not outcast anymore"
Are there to many companies involved in skateboarding?
More companies in skating mean more skaters, so there are more friends.
What about skate spots?
"If we find a spot and a guards there we just pay him of."
With what?
"Pack of cigarettes or $5,$10."
That works?
"They hate their job as much as we do...its a bonus for them"
"There are so many options now for us that we did not have before. Its only going to get better!"
Since we used Dusty's question we will send him some gear thanks to Positiv.
Remember each week we will answer one members question and each month a new PRO will select the questions. Just go to ASK THE PRO.
