Skaters are funny. They’re lauded not only because they’re handsome or alluring but also because they’re athletes. People don’t realize that’s why, but it’s true. Athleticism is pure in how you can only be very good and very bad at sport. And if you’re good, you’re good. It’s not like art or beauty, where everything can be argued. You either land a little trick or you don’t. People really thirst for that kind of truth in their lives.
