Pro’s selling out?

I am all for people earning a living but it seems like some skaters are becoming walking billboards for mega companies. For example Van shredders Ryan and Scott Decenzo , and Oakville’s Mark Appleyard, have joined the Arnette “skate team family” which is owned by www.luxottica.com.Check out this report on their current MARKET CAP $$$$$$$$$ .

So for all you punters out there that means that if you are buying anyone of their brands you are contributing to their overall company value of $14,800,000,000 . I ask you, are they really interested in skateboarders????\

Anyhow the skateboarding in good>
