duffel is a pro, so what i say obviously makes zero difference in his career & the fact that he will be successful through skating than i will ever hope to be, so technically i guess im "hating"
but that has nothing to do with the fact that for the most part (i have seen him pull some credible tricks though), he's a mediocre skater feeding off a gimmick. there are so many younger & humble kids coming up that run circles around him at a large portion of his age, & even though that is expected in every following generation, they are focused on the skating itself rather than the image
just saying, id much rather see people like mo kill harder while dressed like a scrub, than watching duffel film every shitty handrail he does with his leather/cheeta-print/tight pants acting like a "punk"
as far as i know, real punks dont come from places named walnut creek
