Why skaters like it
Gets posted whenever someone shows off a new gadget or product. Skaters use it to point out that gimmicks are as old as skateboarding itself.
“honestly there's a long history of shitty pointless products and thats what of what lead to there being a "core" skaterboard industry to differentiate from the bullshit.”

What skaters said on Reddit
Gimmicks [VIDEO] are a tale as old as skateboarding.
why does this always get posted in these threads, it doesn't make the truck better. I'll stick to my regular indy's. [VIDEO]
honestly there's a long history of shitty pointless products and thats what of what lead to there being a "core" skaterboard industry to differentiate from the bullshit. I think its a perfect storm of people wanting to buy a short cut to getting better at skating and people willing to sell any dumb thing under any dumb premise jeff grosso did a good episode of loveletters to skateboarding about some of these gimmick
Grosso's Loveletters to Skateboarding - Gimmicks [VIDEO]
The whole DSM/Dwindle China boards. They were cheap and cracked around the baseplate. Gimmicks. All the gimmicks: [VIDEO] Blind jeans. I heard a rumor that you needed to have a 10k+ account with Nike in order to get their shoes in your shop. Support your local skateshop. I doubt they honestly give a fuck, and its just weird. I've never had a problem ordering online and dealing with some of those kids is just strange.
There is another Love Letters about gimmicks that goes into Z-Rollers in a bit more depth [VIDEO]
