Serious Question

Why do some people worship park riders/park scene when they don't even attempt to ride park or progress in park? I always found that weird. I know I started heavily following the park scene when I started getting better at park riding. It's fine that people like to watch park riding, but I would think that watching it would inspire them to get after it in the park. Just a thought.

Also, NS is a community of people with little feet. I can't buy boots from any of you little feets hahaha.

Funny when I've browsed the sell/trade I've seen a lot of 27.5, 28, 28.5 which aren’t huge but on the bigger end considering perhaps most of the folks on this forum are downsizing their boots from their street shoe size. I wear a 9 or 9.5 in most shoes and am currently in a 25 boot which if you look at the conversion charts is supposed to translate to a 7 or 7.5 shoe size.

Why do people watch football or basketball or baseball or soccer and have favorite teams and players, yet never having played the game? Same thing.

I love watching skateboarding but I'll be damned if you find me out in the street slamming into concrete.

The thing you love may not always be the thing you're good at, and the thing you've good at may not always be the thing that you love.

I mean generally I don't watch sports that I've never played/don't enjoy playing, but that's just me.

i follow the World Surf League and have only surfed twice in my life. Just cause you dont take part in something doesn't mean you cant be interested/entertained by it
