Street League Comes At a Heavy Cost | A glimpse into 2020 Olympic skateboarding?
Dylan has always been ahead of his time. Free Skate Mag has a great opinion piece on how Street League is far from free. In fact it comes at a heavy cost. Perhaps this is a look at things to come once skateboarding hits the Olympics.
Sample:
SLS founder Rob Dyrdek’s treason is to try and make all of this seem acceptable. To make you pay for your own silence with flashing scoreboards and slow motion replays, with podium girls and buckets of energy drink. To feign emotion for entertainment. To pay your heroes so much cash that in their short and volatile careers they are left with little option but to take the money and run. To take enough cash from you that he can do the same, while gaining power en route to Tokyo 2020 where a skateboarding we barely recognise will be presented to 4 billion viewers.
