Skateboarding legend Henry Sanchez has been speaking his mind again, calling out the current skateboarding world for being woke and stupid.

He didn’t mince his words after hearing that professional skateboarder Cody McEntire officially joined The Boonies Skateboards, a switch that had everyone in the streets talking and throwing their opinions and some are harsher.
While some people criticized McEntire for joining a new brand, plenty of skaters still admire his style and skill.
His skating hasn’t aged a bit, and his new pro board has already sold out, showing that fans are backing him no matter what.
More people are getting into skating, buying boards, and supporting skaters they like, proving that the scene is still alive and moving forward.
Sanchez, however, has been consistent with his outspoken views.
He has criticized what he sees as “woke” skateboarding, including speaking out about transgender pro skater Luiza Marchiori after she won the women’s skate championship in Brazil.
Sanchez doesn’t shy away from sharing his opinions, and his stance has created some debates about how skateboarding is changing today.
Even with all the hatred, McEntire’s boards are selling out, and Marchiori continues to perform at the top level, earning respect from her peers and winning championships.
This shows how skating is changing, with new skaters, brands, and styles making noise while old heads like Sanchez call out the scene and kept it real G.
At the end of the day, it’s obvious that skating still brings people together and inspires young bucks, even if the community doesn’t always agree on everything.
McEntire’s success and Marchiori’s wins show that the scene is expanding and that there’s room for different voices and styles to thrive.
The MAGA pro skateboarder might not be impressed with how things are going, but new board brands are popping, competitions keep happening, and skating keeps growing.
So, we will see what will happen in the future if he is right.
