In short there is no specific way you should have to dress in order to skate board. The idea that you have to dress a certain way in order to skate is absurd. You should wear whatever you feel most comfortable in or just feel like skating in. Thanks to MTV and other programs which show skating makes it seem that you need to dress a certain way in order to become a great skater. This motion could not be any more revolting and powered by greed. These clothing companies just want you to believe that by dressing a certain way you will become a great skater, and OH they just happen to make all the clothes which will make you great. People need to stop and think and realize hard work and dedication to the sport is what makes you great, not what kind of pants you are wearing. When you actually stop and think about it, the greatest skaters are the ones who do not fit the mold of the modern day skater. An example of a great skater who exemplifies that you can wear whatever you want and still be the best is Rodney Mullen. I have seen Rodney Mullen perform some of the most insane intricate tricks ever done while wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt. The clothing companies that sponsor these skaters just want to make you believe that by wearing the backwards flat brimmed hat, name jean pants, and baggy shirt that somehow you will bestowed magic skate board powers. The fact of the matter is that unless you put in the time and effort no amount of clothing will make you a great skater or a better person.
