OG skateboarder Rich Wilson has taken to social media with a comedic skit that delivers an important message about the authenticity of skateboarding culture.
Wilson encounters a classic skate scenario – a poser in a Thrasher hoody who doesn't actually skate. What unfolds is a tickling exchange that ends with a memorable line: "My Culture Isn't Your Costume."
The skit starts with Wilson's character stumbling upon someone sporting a Thrasher hoody without the skateboarding skills to back it up.
Never one to shy away from speaking his mind, Wilson's character launches into a humorous lecture, questioning the poser's choice of attire.
Wilson's character delves into his own experiences, recounting from the early days of skating and emphasizing his enduring passion for riding his board.
The poser, attempting to deflect the lecture, questions whether 35 years of skateboarding means Wilson's skill level is exceptional.
In a clever turn, Wilson's character abruptly shifts gears, hilariously demanding to know the whereabouts of the elusive bus, leaving the poser bewildered.
