Nerdsday Thursday: Numbers Show Everyone Quitting Skateboarding
Posted by Rob, Thursday, May 16, 2013 10:22 AM
This week on Nerdsday Thursday, I started with doing an analysis of our top 200 skaters over the years. Of course, the first question is regarding their ages. Then, I dug deeper to see who out of those 200 top skaters from 2006 is still a skater. The numbers are pretty damn alarming. I don't want to believe it. It seems like everyone is quitting skateboarding. You guys need to stop that quitting $h!t right now. You know what this reminds me of? Those grumpy old men that say they want skateboarding to die again because they love it so much. You just wish you were cool again, geezer. How could you not want something as amazing as skateboarding done by every new kid you meet? Try evolving and growing instead of longing for your heyday. Okay, that's the end of my rant, but still skateboarders are quitting like mad and that sucks. Check the numbers: Numbers Show Everyone Quitting Skateboarding.
