Switch God Paul Rodriguez has redeemed himself and admitted that the new generation of skateboarders is so much better than him these days.

As previously reported, P-Rod exasperatedly expressed that "skateboarding is becoming watered down," then faced backlash for saying that kids are teaching themselves to become robots.

Which resulted for skateboarding legend Clyde Singleton to call out P-Rod. He said, "yall got P-Rod out here, talking like he founder & CEO of Anti-Hero. mans really thought he was John Cardiel in them crusty bowls. hitting them corners, straight into a soulful 6ft crossbone. boy, stop."

Then, on the new Mikey Taylor "Commune Capital's Podcast," the Primitive head honcho finally realized that he is now an older guy and did a mind trick to tell himself that he is now the younger kid who looks up to the OGs, so he can understand how it works back in the day.

"Oh my God, I can't wait to be as good as them one day." P-Rod said, "Okay, now I want to go out and practice. Now I can't wait to impress them and notice that I got better."

The skaters from Generation Z are doing their best to grab the attention of their idols, but professional skateboarder P-Rod has taken note that they lack style with too many flip-ins and flip-outs. While he understands it difficult, he still said it's like a f*ckin asshole. "It looks like ass," he said.

After facing backlash from the skateboarding community, P-Rod has transformed into a positive role model for young people by embracing their tricks.
