In another sign of the skateboard industry’s mainstream collapse, the Puehse Twins, two underage skateboarders whose dad seemed dead set on making them the next Tony Hawk in terms of sponsorship dollars and media coverage, have apparently decided that the real money is in doubles tennis, according to a story in the New York Times.
Eschewing a future as twin Tony Hawks, Nic and Tristan decided two years ago to try to become the next Bob and Mike Bryan, the No. 1-ranked men’s doubles tennis team. The jump from the anarchistic world of skateboarding to the button-down sport of tennis has been their toughest trick.
Can’t say we even wondered what these talented twins were up to lately, but seriuosly, if they’re really in it for the money, shouldn’t they be practicing their golf stroke?
