that was when he first started you fat, ignorant fuck. how can you not respect him trying out something new, especially an action sport? i think it's awesome that he's become so passionate about skating. my friend got to skate with him at his private session here in Milwaukee after his concert and said he's actually really good for how long he's ridden and his progression is amazing. how can you not respect that?
in 7th grade you were probably that fat kid who bought the skateboard to be cool and skated (walked) around the park with a helmet, knee-pads and elbow-pads getting in everyone's way and asking everyone if they can double kickflip.
