I didn't say that having style was faggy, I was trying to say that couch potato ass niggas watching videos and trying to pick apart dudes for their style when he just ollied 3 fucking benches stacked is kinda faggy.
Mike Carrol and Guy Mariano have ill styles, but nobody really gave a shit about that back then. What people gave a shit about was the tricks they were doing.
Then the mid/late 90's came along and all of a sudden any dude with dreadlocks and 60mm wheels doing a 50-50 grind on a bench "with style" was all of a sudden better than people like Rodney Mullen doing nollie inward heelflip nose manuals to whateverthefuck out but sketching on the landing.
If you take offence to what I'm describing as "faggy" then hey, maybe the shoe fits.
