Everyone is a Pro Skateboarder These Days But Is Gatekeeping Essential in Skateboarding?

Your Vote Matters!
ShreddER February 19, 2024
Skateboarding Gatekeeping

Two of our long-time followers, @cornation1 and Daisuke Young expressed their opinions of having fewer pro skateboarders or that don't deserve to have pro status in the skateboarding industry when we reported that Tim Pool wants to provide more opportunities, sponsoring skaters, and give jobs.

We need less pros comments

However, skateboarders are unhappy with Pool's signature board and the opportunity he wants to provide to the skate community.

Skaters believe that maintaining a higher standard for professional skateboarders is essential to preserve the authenticity and integrity of skateboarding.

We at ShreddER genuinely value our followers' opinions because they are important to us. The poll has been closed thank you.
