Where are the rest of the pros???

[TRSsk8r]

Hey, where are the rest of the pro skaters? I've only seen about 4 or 5 of them post on this site. What???? You can't bother to nurture along the grom's????? What's up with that???? Isn't building our sport and helping encourage those following us what it's all about? Sharing the love???

well sometimes pros have alot of shit on there plate and dont have alot of time to spare.

[KYSkater]

thats more than a general statement, Guest. Everyone has alot of stuff to do......but when you can help out the next generation of skaters, its always appreciated.

I agree KY Skater. We've all seen pros playing video games and partying. Seems to me that perpetuating the sport is in everyone's best interests, theirs included.

well thats not what i fully meant or it was misinterpretted what i meant was sometimes keyword sometimes pros have alot of shit on their plate and sometime on the other hand some pros might not have access to a computer that has access to the internet sometimes.

we all know that pros will be seen kickin it sometimes.

and i believe a 100% with you that pros need to incourage young skaters that way the aggro culture will further increase and expand with new talent and skill.

seems we agree on promoting the sport, sharing the excitement, helping the groms. But in the almost a year since this forum has been running, I think the other pros have probably had access to a computer and time to use it. But the point isn't to rag on them (which I'm kinda doing) but to put out the word that their input and support would be helpful to promoting the sport.

The forum hasnt been up for a year, its been up for about 5 months i think.

[TRSsk8r]

right on that. Seemed longer. NEway, seems long enough for more pros to check in.

[KYSkater]

how many pros do we really have on here?

[TRSsk8r]

Thumper and Borja, the two England guys, Elmer....who else?

[KYSkater]

ViniciusRosa....and Paul's an AM if that counts....but only on street. i think is what he said.

[TRSsk8r]

Oh, ya, forgot about Vinnie. And Paul from Florida is pro vert, but don't think he's skating now.

[KYSkater]

paul from florida......who are you talking about?

[TRSsk8r]

I forget his last name -- maybe he's not even from Florida. Went pro same year Thumper did. Older guy. Very friendly.

[Rich Parker]

you mean Paul Noworyta. yeah he is from Florida, i dont think he comes on here at all, but yeah his is a nice guy!

[Rich Parker]

[TRSsk8r]
