The other day i walked up to this kid wearing a volcom shirt and i asked him "hey ya wanna go skate sometime" and he looked at me like i was stupid and said "skate"? and i have been noticingin the halls of my high school all the kids that go out and but skate shoes and dc, volcom and elelment shirts and wear them as if they are some kind of new fashion statement. I dont know if this is going on in your areas but i just think its kind of wierd.

Ya it is sorta weird but, what if u dont skate but u think skate shoes are comfterble or w/e. I mean it hink it is stupid how ppl talk the talk about how good they are and then ui actually ask them to show u and they say "no" coz they actually arnt that great. I myself suck at skateboarding but i still try, all the same i think that ppl shouldn't say they can if they cant so i agree with u there are alot of poser skaters.

have you been living under a rock for the last twenty years. being a skater has become cool. heres how you tell if someone is a skater or not. if they are wearing skate shoes, check and see if the laces and ollie area are all torn up. its that simple. and since when do skaters where only skate brand clothing?

I skate in different shoes than I normally wear.
Also who cares if you see a bunch of "posers" wearing skate shoes. Are you going to label an obesce(sp?) person wearing running shoes a poser. The term, in my opinion, fits very few people.

Couldn't have said It better.

Who cares what other people wear. It's their choice on what they want to wear and be. I prefer to walk around in skate shoes rather than tennis shoes...Why? Because I think they are more comfortable. Do I skateboard? Sometimes...But even If I didn't ever, I would still wear the shoes because I want to.

Guess what? Non-skaters wearing skate gear is good for the industry. You can choose from 12 different brands of shoe or 1; have multiple skateparks or none; have a skate shop just a few blocks away or have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest one. It sucks not having options, ask anybody who skated through the early 90's. You should thank those people rather than criticize.

a poser isnt someone who wears skate stuff and doesnt skate its someone who says they skate and dont just so they sound cool. do you have to play basketball to wear nikes? do people have to surf to wear bilabong stuff? no.

Also, your theory for testing to see if their a skater or not doesn't work. Everyone of my friends who skates including me doesn't wear the same shoes skating as they do for normal wear. Simply because the holes in the bottom let water and snow in, aren't as comfortable, smell bad, and is a waste of money.

byerly137pro, sure you might not be able to tell everyone who is a skater but if you see someone who has skate shoes and the laces have ripped and been tied back together im willing to bet that they skate. sure people dont always wear their skate shoes "out" but a lot of people do.

eklipse has the right idea, who cares what other people wear it really doesnt matter, let them do what they want. i can see how it might bug hard core skaters, but its not really that big of a deal.

i hear u guys sayin they should wear what they want.... but here's the thing that PISSES ME OFF!!!! at our school skating is not very cool... at our school the "posers" wearing the dc's dvs's vans and etnies are the ones making fun of you for skating.... lol it's kind of funny tho to ask them y they support the skate companies if they don't like skating. Around my small town it's all about football and soccer...... blah i hate those sports.

numbfoot, I am pretty bored and I am getting tired of metallicas useless posts. Basically he is a douche, his posts never contain anything of any thought and are usually slanderous in some way or another.

It's not the same, his posts hurt to read. And most of the ones that I have read contain the word fagget in them somewhere, he just comes off as a moron.
