For sure--if the prof is Dr. Tae [LINK] or Dr. Marsh [VIDEO]
I see your point, actually. There's a lot more to how skateboarding fits into life than just happy people cruising around during the sunset. At least the aspect of perseverance is covered, showing the process of filming a trick, and how skateboarding brings people together. But overall, you're right, it's a pretty shallow communication of life as a skateboarder. Something like this [VIDEO] achieves that goal a lot better, in my opinion. I didn't really come away from the OP video with any sense of their life. I guess I just interpreted your comment as "you should be making videos about old people, not young people, go do what I want you to do". Anyway, peace :)
