Decoding Skateboardings Most Overused Clichés | ” _________ let’s his/her skating do the talking…. “

The number one rule in writing is to not submit to clichés. Though when you’re writing your thousandth intro to a skateboarder you don’t actually know or care much about these overused popular phrases get thrown in there over and over. JENKEM investigated what all these offenders mean.

Sample:

“LETS HIS/HER SKATING DO THE TALKING”

Example: “[Jamie Palmore] obviously lets his skating do the talking, and this line through downtown San Diego is one in a million.”

Translation: When a writer can’t pry more than stoney one-sentence answers out of a skateboarder, they use this as a bland way to say, “Hey, this skater sure can skate but they sure as fuck can’t assemble a complete sentence. Oh well, at least they rip!”
