No Respect

So tonight Brent Henderson, Ryan Daily, and I all went to Thunderbird skatepark to blade it up for the evening. Not even five minutes of being there some "old school' skateboarder starts bitching about us "damn fruitbooters" because he accidentally got cut off by one of us. Instantly, I turn my head and say, "what the fuck man? why do you have to call us fruitbooters for no damn reason. It's not like we did it on purpose. So the guy being the great "role model" he is replies, "that's what you are called fruitbooters."

Me being the bigger person just skated away, and continued on with my session. The thing that gets me, is that throughout the night we would skate passed them way out of their way and they would still mumble out "stupid fruitbooters." What in their right minds is wrong with them? For being the guys who have been doing it since "1981" they have no reason to talk shit to us. In mine and most of my peers opinions, they are envious of the fact that we are essentially what "they" used to be.

An underground industry that gets no respect from anyone.
