"Picking out the clothes that you're going to end up skating in, or street wear that you want to wear. Now, you're going to want to pick out stuff that's going to last a long time. You're going to be jumping around and skating in these clothes, so you want to make sure that you pick things that are going to last a lot longer than some normal clothing that you might have. So what you want to do is, you want to pick out clothing labels that have to do with skateboarding first. Because that way you can end up supporting skateboarding, and giving back to what you're interested in and what you're doing, which is always good. So, if you're ever given the choice, it would be better to pick something that is a skateboard company and buy that, because it's probably been tested by skateboarders, and endorsed by skateboarders, so that you know that it's what you want to pick also. Now, if you want to pick heavy duty stuff to skate in, you'll probably be picking things like jeans, or other kinds of like cords and things that you can move in, but will last a long time. The other thing that you want to do is make sure that you pick types of tee shirts that support skateboard companies if that's what you're interested in, and help skateboarding in general. A lot of people now are making skateboard gear, but they don't have anything to do with skateboarding. So, it'll just take a while for you to just get interested in skateboarding, and know who actually is going to benefit from you buying the products. Now, the things that they make will probably last a little bit longer. You're going to end up jumping down things, and scraping open the elbows of sweatshirts, so you'll want to make sure that you buy things that you are really into. And this is one way when you're checking out and buying skate gear."
