"How you doing there? This is Simon, from No Comply Skate Shop,and I'm going to tell you how to buy the right skateboard gear, for the right look. Basically, what we have here, in the skateboard world, is basically, four demographics. The first one I'm going to show you, is we got a lot of Reggae Rasta skaters, Dreadlock skaters. They like to see stuff like this here. This shirt is made out of hemp and organic cotton. Also, that area of people, are into the environmental thing, and then what we have here, is probably the biggest demographic in skateboarding, is kind of the heavy metal, punk rock look, and also you'll find that in black shirts like this, with bloody, fiery faces, and skulls and stuff like that, or a lot of stuff that resembles heavy metal covers and stuff like that, and also what goes with that demographic, is the very tight jeans, which in the skateboard industry, we've added spandex to these, because when you're wearing tight pants, it's hard to skateboard in them. It has to have some stretch, so you'll find that in all the skateboard jeans, that go with the punk, heavy metal look, and then of course, one of the other big demographics in skateboarding, is the hip hop crowd. As you can see, here are some passed away hip hop artists, that are on a skateboard company shirt, and then of course with that, you've got the big, baggy jeans, that most kids like to wear a little saggy, and then last but not least, you've just got your kind of in between, everyday kind of clean cut look skater, that's got some nice slacks, that also have a little bit of stretch in them for skateboarding, and then just a nice, button down, nice and comfortable, easy to skate in, just a clean cut look, and that pretty much covers it, for the styles of clothes in skateboarding."
