creation of a new board. #3

Its honestly sad whats happened to skateboarding since the 90's. The world doesn't look at it as fun anymore its something only the best can do, and even to THEM its a job. The board has changed size, shape and make of wood. It shouldn't take this elaborate contraption beneath you to be a good boarder. In my opinion and that of the Capitol city skate team, its just cruel. Either you have what it takes or you don't. Kids iv met personally from ages 7 to 15 tell me how they are getting the most advanced thing and ask what they can buy to help them get sponsored. Honestly whats happened here? Time and time again I tell them, "you have to believe in yourself. Try hard and risk things, no one wants to sponsor your pretty skateboard, they want SKATERS." It just seems hallow and low of people to treat this sport like everything else. I have to make my 6 posts and I'm not sure this even counts as one.
