I see it in tricks too. The kids I would skate with would use the term 'old school' as a derogatory thing. 'A no comply? That's old school' as if a kickflip isn't technically old school, ya dumbass. I do believe there are some silly tricks, but if they can be done on a board they should be welcomed regardless.

Sorry, but in my years of skating, I learned there is not much of a vast difference in different companies' decks - some different companies get wood from the same place. And I want to 'deck' the next kid I hear obsess about if such and such deck has 'pop'. That's just a marketing term. Sure, quality may vary in different brands, but they are all made similar.

you said it all man...
