Well today I went to a skateshop by my house (its a chainstore though) and since its getting kinda cold im looking for a sweater to skate in (the ones without the hood). I find this cool enjoi sweater but then i look at the price and its $110!!!! I could by a sweet rail for that money ora brand new skateboard. I didnt buy the sweater because im not retarded. do skate shops were you live charge ridiculous amounts of money.

Either way screwit im going to walmart.

I dnt really like skating in brand names (element, Roxy, enjoi, ect.) The only thing i wear is my shoes which are vans. But there not greedy there just over priced. My old local shop in chula vista (Urbanation) is way over priced, I moved to eastlake now i only get my boards at street machine. And i get my hard ware and wheels at swap meet since its so much cheaper. I got a dozen blank wheels for $36. So im set for life. Its crazy how i see how many pros at swap meet.

i hate wearing sleeves while skating, or jackets since it gets way too hot. So just where a tang top.

not really the hood flaps around on windy days (i live in canda on the praries so its windy and cold therefore sweaters work best) but ya hoodies are comfy.

I grew up in phillippines, so its so f***ing hot there. Thats why i hate sleeves or jackets.

yea i've pretty much stopped wearing skate clothes as well besides my ccs jeans
shit's kinda ugly as well as being over priced and crap quality

hit up marshalls, tj maxx, or ross if you have one, they have nice sweaters
