I don't get people who wear ski hats or Uggs in Florida, either.
Thank you!!! or fake glasses... My friend told me a joke. "How much does a hipster weigh? An instagram or two."
I know a guy that wears these with a 108F heat index....
He showed up to a skate session one day with a girl. Some of my fellow professional teammates showed up. He just bought a new board and he spent the whole day complaining it was hot, sitting on the side, and saying, "I wish I could do that trick!" I offered to teach him a few things but he'd rather sit by this girl. The girl he brought kept saying, "you're so cute! You're my besty. I love you!!! me and sarah are going shopping tonight. You should totally come! we need advice on some things..." When she'd walk away, he'd brag about how he might get some lap action from her... He'd make little jokes, "if I land that trick, will you kiss me?" She said, "ha ha. what?. uh... probably not. sorry!" Then I'd copy what he said and she'd reply, "but you already landed it... like 10 times. hahahaha maybe!" He got up and stormed off because I was reaching for his glass of Kool-aid. Was kinda funny seeing an emotional boy in his early 20s wearing a stupid animal hat get all overly-offensive over a girl. His floppy ears and bouncing around... act like a puppy, dress like one I guess.
I don't why people show up to skateboard sessions and have no intention on skating after realizing they aren't good by comparison. The only way to progress is to practice. And the best way to learn a trick is off someone else. I wouldn't be who I am today if i had that, "I'm going to sit and watch because I'm intimidated by others". A few weeks later, I had a 1 on 1 session with him and told him to trade that hat in for a helmet. Not sure if he did but I tried to teach him a few door-openers on a skateboard so he can invent his own tricks.
And yeah, the lumberjack style is cool if you live where it's cold... but in FL, the dress code should be board-shorts, flipflops, and sleeveless shirts for men. You know, unless you never go outside. Then I could see someone chilling inside tho AC with a beanie on.
