why has either of them never competed if they are both considered pro skaters?

this is a shitty thread. And while Bam isn't very tech, you have to admit he goes big.

Bam is fucking nuts though. Like borderline nutjob.

Also, at OP, there are many ways to become a "Pro"

who you know, how good you are, how you act, what you do.

because you don't have to be a contest machine to be pro. like literally you don't have to skate in any contests. ever. at all. especially not the fucking x games, dew tour, street league or any of those.

Gonna have to disagree, and Cole only had like 3 shots haha. Dropping in on the giant guarter would be scary as hell and the back 3 at 1:46 was sick too.

But thats just this edit, overall Chris Cole is a much better skater.

This is like asking why Andy Parry or Clayton Vila don'y compete, but are considered pros...

The reason is simple: Because they make me want to ski. there for buy products, especially theirs. I'd rather watch those two then a serious competitor, like Gus.

The same applies to skating.

When Rob Dyrdek was at his prime the X Games didn't even exist.

Rob Dyrdek's era as an athlete was in the 80's, before he started DC Shoes. The X-Games (then called the Extreme Games) didn't exist until 1995.

He didn't start dc shoes... and he became a pro in 91. Do a little research before talking out your ass.
