Fetishization of Skateboarding

Some people are into all aspects of skateboarding. Mainly media about skateboarding. Things like super slow mo and things along that nature. I don't understand it. It might just appeal to a younger crowd, but I don't find any joy in watching a super slow mo or a ramped slow mo with that sound that goes with it. 

People fetishize the damn VX-1000 too, what the hell is up with that? It's a freaking camera ...get over it. It's probably the weed they're smoking. All these things annoy the hell out of me. I don't like that stuff. It is a part of skateboarding I don't like. 

When I'm watching a skate video, I just want to see raw footage edited up to a kick ass song. Music of all kinds interest me, I'd love to hear a part edited to a classic or some song I've never heard. I have really learned a lot about music from watching skate videos. They turned me on to all kinds of music I would have never heard otherwise. I've already written about that though. 

That is about all I can think about right now and yes, I realize I am a hater, but this is what I think, like it or not.
