Skateboard Economics Without Wax
Ten years of getting paid like a “backup quarterback” just isn’t enough for some of the pros in our game. Year after year they go back to those damn games. The executives might not know that most skateboarders really go there to party and we allow ourselves to be exploited so we have beer money to party with. Are they being compensated for their talent? Apparently not as much as they should? The last boycott sucked. It is fun to entertain what would really happen if everyone actually managed to completely ignore the entity of the x-games starting right now. A few executives would lose a lot of millions and a few pros might lose a total of less than 5 people on a losing team’s offensive line? Fuck espndorks.
