And so this year the amounts were drawn on the best athletes from last season and have been assigned so-called "Oscars of sport" by some association named Laureus. After the circus of the X Games and the various mountain dew tour, tour and company panasonic candidates for the award in the category "best man of action" (or so he translated the Italian commentator incompeternte the wreath, aired some ago on an Italian night) with regard to skateboarding were Ryan Sheckler and Shawn White. A veteran of a string of victories in various contests Unofficial bottle than from a slew of hours spent shooting his new personal program on MTV, eventually winning the other specialties in the X Games vert, as well as snowboarding superstar. I must say that in the end I'm happy for the guys who did well and showed us to split like never before. At the end he won the Flying Tomato (read Shawn White) and are all happy ... well almost everyone. And so we come to the point: the respect in skateboarding is hard to obtain. If you think about a second, even if red is the new "world champion" in the eyes of millions of non-skateboarders there to TVlandia, being fully accepted in the real skateboarding is a goal that is White far from reach. How can he be doing to earn respect in this sick world governed by strange laws that is skateboarding? Obviously there is no good answer to this question and I certainly do not want to find one. I just want to point out that being number one in the eyes of the world media does not mean practically nothing to what some would call the "hardcore enthusiasts of skateboard action." Respect must be earned going on the table, paying the price and adhering to the unwritten rules (and thankfully not written). If you think the skater who esteems you realize you do not do it because someone tells them they are number one, but because we believe and not believe the greatest skateboarding itself. E 'mythical to test and challenge themselves and others in every situation, always showing the best (we want to talk to the machine under pressure in trick?) Ironicament skate but only for oneself is perhaps the best way to earn respect of others. Ok from the masses have their new hero, we are happy to still have our favorites that skate demo at the local skateshop. This is just to remind once again that skateboarding is unique.
