In recent years, social media skaters on YouTube have been provided a platform to become influencers as a new avenue to share talents and passion online.
However, the increasing divide between core skateboarders and those who gain popularity through YouTube and TikTok has led to debates about authenticity and credibility.
As we previously reported, YouTube skater Nigel Jones revealed that once you become a YouTuber, you will never be included in the core skateboarding industry.
Which OG Professional skateboarder turned PSA host commentator Felix Arguelles had to remind everyone that it's not about where your skate clips, acting, or any related skate vlog you post your videos, but it's on how you carry yourself.
"Your skateboarding and how you carry yourself is more important than where it's posted." Arguelles said, "Whoever your favorite "core or contest" skater is would not lose a sponsor if they chose to also focus on "YouTubing."
