TK is Terry Kennedy. People hate him for being a bit over the top with his ghettoness. And Jereme Rogers retired from skateboarding to rap even though he has the voice of a year-old girl and is WAY better at skating and he was obnoxious about it he made a song about it, wrong a 2 page letter to a skate magazine about it and they ran it, and had a big ass party.
I hate TK not for his personality, but because I don't think he should have been pro when he was. I remember watching Baker 3 for the first time and wondering how the hell this guy is a pro when he only does basic tricks in his part. No flips into grinds, not much switch, etc. Dixon, who was am at the time is he even pro yet?
This is the stupidest thing I have heard today. TK sucks hands down but at least he has some personality. Whereas ppl hate on TK for his lack of skill and ghettoness, there are other skaters like scheckler who ppl hate for being a sellout. He was hating on Dill because of something Dill had said in an interview and nate listed the top 5 pros he hates plus he does way to many pressures. I don't really fully hate any pro's, I'll dislike their attitude but still respect the skateboarding ability.
But Greg was adamant. Although heartbroken, his parents remained supportive. You dictate. For Greg, hockey was too regimented. Skateboarding meant freedom: no coach, you learn on your own and practice whenever you feel like it. But after he taped a bit that involved Greg skating off a school roof onto a garage, Jeff had had enough.
At around age 13, Greg was skating with some buddies when he heard the team from Beer City Skateboards was at the lakefront. He tried to do a trick on a ledge. Low-level sponsors may pay for skateboards or clothes, and the value of sponsorships rises from there.
But his amateur debut was almost over before it began. He gathered some speed and headed for a pyramid. As he launched himself over it, he lost his balance and crashed down flat on his back. So, when his name was called, Greg skated.
But once again, he wiped out. Coming up on a rail too fast, his board slipped from underneath him, popped up and hit him in the crotch. Greg spent the remainder of the contest in a hospital.
His family, after all, has a long history in local government. His grandfather was Dan Cupertino Jr. Suzanne Breier, won the seat in a special election.
She served five years then was recalled for voting in favor of the infamously lavish pension plan of Lori was able to use her county position to help create a skateboard park in Milwaukee. Levin was intrigued. Only 28, the onetime skater had already opened a skatepark and owned a manufacturing and distribution company in Montreal. He knew the Milwaukee skate scene having spent his teenage years here. After his rocky debut at Skatepark of Tampa, Greg had a better understanding of his competition and more confidence that he belonged.
As he waited for 4 Seasons to be completed, he was hitting up the skateparks in Rockford, Ill. By the summer of , Lutzka had a second amateur sponsor, Illenium Skateboards.
Under the tutelage of Illenium owner Al Partanen, one of the elder statesmen of Milwaukee skaters, Lutzka began making contacts. It happened very quickly. Jeff remembers a representative from an Ohio skateboard company that stopped by with an interest in sponsoring Greg. Look at the stance on him, look how he lands. As his travel demands increased, Greg faced a conflict between school and skating.
Well, they laugh at you. Through an alternative Milwaukee Public Schools program called the Outpost, Greg met with an instructor whenever he was in town. His instructor helped him use his real-life adventures in Australia or Japan and apply it to history or geography.
He even let Greg count his skateboarding toward his physical education requirements. But at the end of his senior year, Greg still faced a conflict: He was in the middle of final exams, one test away from graduating, but Globe Shoes wanted him to go to Australia.
And so Greg never graduated. But that opportunity may never come back. No matter who you are or where you come from, let's go skate! But they … More will be back next year!

Lot's of good times, some bad times as well but at the end it was definitely all worth it! I guess everyone has seen the clip, if not then head over to youtube because it's a must to watch.
