Already Been Done has a great Dave Carnie story titled Rob Dyrdek and the World of Mainstream Skateboarding which Carnie talked Street League with Rob. Here’s a bit of it:
The first season of Street League was, at times, painful to watch. I wasn’t the only person to liken it to watching golf. Nieratko thought it looked like kids playing on a slide. “They slide down, then they run back to the top, and slide down it again, then run back to the top…” I sometimes see a combination of freestyle and jump ramps when I watch it. Rob himself even admitted that the first season was “slow as fucking shit.” Is this how skateboarding is going to be perceived?
Click the link to read the rest because, as usual with Carnie stories, it is real and insightful. And those are two words we rarely use in connection with skateboard media.
