You should do a video calling out board sponsors who don't pay their pro riders a liveable wage. These skaters are out there busting their ass for videos/photos so that their board sponsors can make money.
but would you be scamming kids with useless bracelets or telling them to join the military? or maybe sell crack cocaine to kids at skateboarding events while you're at it. This video had a good point about the shit some athletes are willing to sell.

As someone who's been skating for 35 years I'm not sure I agree with the term "selling out". Skaters have fought for years to have skateboarding considered a "real" sport. To be considered an athlete instead of just some punk on a board. Even at 46 years old I get looked down upon when I bomb by, not that I care, but my kids see it and that I do care about. No one cares if a basketball, baseball or hockey player is pushing some car company, why should it be any different for someone riding a board ? Skateboarding is one of the most technical and dangerous sports to ever exist. When skating at such a high level, why shouldn't people be paid for their years of sweat and dedication? I know so many talented people who had to give up on something they loved because financially it just wasn't feasible. Everyone starts to ride for the love, but love don't pay the bills. If your motive for skating is to get paid, and your good enough to do it, then by all means get paid. It takes a certain type of person to throw themselves down a flight of stairs over and over, regardless of why you're doing it. Who cares why you skate, you still skate.
Growing up in San Diego skating an surfing is life, I’m 33 now but I don’t plan on quitting no time in my life, it’s like it’s apart of who we are when we’re on our free time away from work an the family. I always admired the OGs at the parks bcuz I swear they make it look so effortless an graceful when they drop in an rip a session
I'm a flatland BMX bicycle Rider. I was doing shows at Summerfest in Milwaukee Wisconsin a couple years ago, and a lady walked up to me and asked me if I was Tony Hawk. I pointed at my bike, looked her in the eyes and said do you like my skateboard?
The entire job of a pro skater is to be a salesman/woman.... They are hired to push brands... Skate teams exist to sell the products the company they ride for sell. Most don't think of it like that, but it's the truth. But to a certain degree everything in the job world is about pushing a product, no matter what job you have... I think if you can make a living doing something as great as skating, more power to you, as long as you don't compromise yourself in pushing stuff you think is bad. (I guess)
Let’s come together not go apart skateboarding isn’t about selling out it’s about riding this piece of wood with wheels that brings us so much joy. Not ever skater makes money 100 in the industry if you do your a very very blessed person I work full time but I still ride for small brands like small town skateboards and errands brand I don’t make any money from skateboarding but I still ride for brands for free it’s for the love not money.
I don't care that Paul Rodriguez is on this list. He's always going to be one of my favorite skaters, not only for his skill but for his positive attitude. Shred on Paul.
Can you explain how tony hawk was a sell out. Sure he took those corporate sponsors but he also said a requirement for these companies to sponsor him was donating to the tony hawk foundation... you know the foundation that contributed to 100s of skateparks being built. Is it really selling out if skateboarding profited tremendously from those unconventional sponsorships?
Skaters want to be known as “rule breakers” yet they have all these dumb rules, they’re worse than the unwritten rules in baseball, as long as you do your job and do it well, make as much money as you can! Isn’t that the dream? GGGG Unit!
All skaters know how to do is hate. They even hated on the kick push song when that song legit captures the vibe of street skateboarding even if it came from a rapper who didn’t skate.
@@ashleybrown4754 why not? it's the most comfortable way to carry ur board. and u don't have to worry about ur palms getting scratched by the griptape.
Its got this weird paradox of being a bunch of misfits who dont fit in with the jocks, but it also has this other side which is very tribalistic. Like when i skated, Nike was NOT cool. But now everyone skates with Nikes it seems.
I started skating in the late 90s and I have always hated Sheckler even outside of "selling out". Dude has always bugged tf outta me even as a lil kid lol
I honestly give Tony a pass, but that dude promoting the military is unforgivable. How the fuck are you gonna live a free life as a skateboarder and tell other kids to become government property and get stripped of any identity they had for a minimum of four years. Ain't no skate parks on a goddamn boat either.
Dope video, loved the fact that you were unbiased. I don’t think I would sell out, unless you consider Nike a sellout still. Side note if we didn’t have people selling out we might not have ever had Janoskis.
Man, I support skaters getting sponsors, but I respect skaters laughing at sponsors. Take the dough if you can take your fans pointing and laughing, that's always been skate culture and it's why I'm still with it. never for the dosh, that's just an added bonus if you're all that good - but get sponsored by companies that care about skate, or about literally anything other than money. Then you won't get laughed at.
I have a funny story about greg lutzka. In 2007 at the Portland Dew Tour he got drunk and cocky, he started challenging everyone to a game of skate. I took him up on the game of skate not knowing who he was (I’m a bmx rider), I saw he was hammered so I thought I had a chance. I told him he had to skate switch because I was a bmx rider and he agreed to do so. After I received S-K, I heard someone mention who he was and I felt stupid for it realizing it, admitted I didn’t realize who he was and finished the game with out getting him any letters. I was determined to give him a letter so we continued adding letting until I had “SKATERS” while he still had no letters. He was fun to skate with, a bit of a shit talker and he bragged about his win but it was all in good fun. A little while later he wanted to go back to his hotel so we grabbed a cab and let him ride along with us. We stopped at a McDonald’s at his request, he ordered $27 worth of food and then informed me he didn’t have his wallet so I payed for his meal and his ride home.
This was the freaking best. Laugh out loud hilarious. Called out Andy Mac, Shaun White, and Lutzka the Baconator! Thanks as always Levi. I'm kinda surprised you didn't throw Lucien Clarke under the bus though... oh shit... That's right... Virgil Abloh pushed him under it.
It's so odd that becoming successful makes you a sellout . It was once like that with Punk Rock. . Probably still is . Considering Punk and skateboarding kind of went together . A
20 years ago I would have agreed 100% with calling out everyone on this list, but at this point I've had enough of my friends age out of the industry and be left with nothing that I say get that bag while you can. Use that money, and start a company and try to set yourself up for the next chapter
At this point, both Leticia and Paul are no longer skaters. They're NASCAR drivers. You can actually picture them in those racing suits and car, all decked out in sponsor logos. But, as for Leticia, as a fellow 3rd world country latino skater, I am very proud of her. I would actually sell my soul to have Toyota and a Petrol company as sponsors, without being a racer. That's quite the achievement, when you think of it. Also, isn't it funny how both Paul and Leticia are not only latinos, but also Plan B alumni?

I was sponsored and i can still rip so how many people can say that? Not too many
double pits to chestyyyy lmfaoooooooo. i used to bust that one all the time in skate. oh you dont got an axe with you?? sorry man gotta take the letter lmaooo
P-Rod doesn’t count because his dad is a Hollywood celebrity. If he didn’t skate he’d likely still would be famous for something and doing those commercials anyway.
Did they sell out ??? Or are you jealous because you dont have those same luxuries ??? the ability to pay rent and eat food and live life doing what you love sounds good to me 😎👍🍻
Growing up seeing skaters on tv commercials, they'd always be playing a character of some kind. Tony on the other hand always included skateboarding in nearly every commercial that aired in American tv; I can respect that.
Andy MacDonald and Tony Hawk but have said on nine club these products are all things they ate and liked. I do love how this was started and ended though!
Who did we miss?! Who would you sell out to if you were a big name in skateboarding? FUN FACT: Levi got a pie shop's logo tattooed on him to get FREE pies for life... we all have our price!
The true #1 Rob Dyrdek. The one who envisioned a a way to make street skateboarding digestible for ESPN types which has paved way for the Olympics and the 'legitimizing' of the 'sport'. He not only sold out his own ass, but skateboarding in general. Real piece of work. (btw cliff bars are legit, and I'd take a years supply in a heartbeat)
0:26.. NO WAY!! I'm literally fingerboarding while watching this. wish y'all sent me some stickers with my order so I could rep Shredz on a deck or my park 😂💯
Idk y we hate on getting corporate sponsors they pay our favorite skaters good money instead of them starving and working real jobs on top of being pro some of them are.dumb sponsors but they pay so just let it go
i think people are misunderstanding what being a sell out is imo. being a sell out isnt having a big name sponsor of even rlly doing an ad.. its when you make more than enough and just selling ur image not ur ability. sure its linked, but if skating isnt part of what ur selling and it needs to be forced in as a prop (like all the stupid tony hawk subway ads) thats being a sell out. its when you do an ad to make money when youve already made it and have the resources...
The double pits to chesty came about because people were overusing axe and there shirts would become very flammable. So they ran these ads to teach people the right amount to use
I hope to be on this list one day
that's the dream
Just don't become a douche
For real man
Get paid
Plus bagel bites are delicious
You should do a video calling out board sponsors who don't pay their pro riders a liveable wage. These skaters are out there busting their ass for videos/photos so that their board sponsors can make money.

I was expecting Dyrdek to be at least top 3
I'm watching while I comment but surely the list is much longer than this? 🇬🇧💚
This had me dying big up
Hello, I am a professional Skateboarder from the Bay Area and I am SPONSORED
This was a good video to address the Cariuma sellout skaters tbh
thank you so muchhh tommy honk for letting me now that bagel bite would make my life so much better !!
Good comedy in this one…lost it at pause on the water sponsor LMAO turn on your tap, quality.
10. Shredz Shop. For having 9 ADs in this video. 😂 Jk.
TH-cam did us dirty 😂
Good. Get that ad money.
And everyone here would too
Given the chance! 🤣🤣🤣
So when i was 16 and in my prime I would have said sellouts!!!! But now git dat money homie!!!!
@@PMurray2694 hey no regrets. I skated against andrew Reynolds in f.a.s.l. before he was famous hung out with the plan b team with my boy paul who skated for planet earth and i hind out with rob dyrdek and Andy howell before he was famous. I was sponsored and i can still rip so how many people can say that? Not too many
as always, a fantastic video,awesome antihero long sleeve by the way!!!!
double pits to chestyyyy lmfaoooooooo. i used to bust that one all the time in skate. oh you dont got an axe with you?? sorry man gotta take the letter lmaooo
P-Rod doesn’t count because his dad is a Hollywood celebrity. If he didn’t skate he’d likely still would be famous for something and doing those commercials anyway.
"LISTEN BUD, figure yourself out" LMAO
You do 9 and 14 to mess with people with ocd😂😂😂😂😂
This was a pretty good video. I hate haters and bullying and this felt pretty fair. Well said
Not hate, we love all these skaters, just. jokes!
U really did fkd like that 😂
It’s all jokes!! 😂
That first part that Levi said, i was just thinking about that before i clicked the video!!
Yet I just watched a Charmin toilet paper commercial to watch your video 😂 everyone’s gotta eat bud.
I sold out but spent it all on cocaine
Kinda bummed that you guys didnt mention the nyjah ass pics especially since you mentioned the tats
Did they sell out ??? Or are you jealous because you dont have those same luxuries ??? the ability to pay rent and eat food and live life doing what you love sounds good to me 😎👍🍻
Dude. I’m mega jealous.
@@leviswitzer haha me too hela jelly
Growing up seeing skaters on tv commercials, they'd always be playing a character of some kind. Tony on the other hand always included skateboarding in nearly every commercial that aired in American tv; I can respect that.
Imagine selling out
Hahahahaha
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner...
Andy MacDonald and Tony Hawk but have said on nine club these products are all things they ate and liked. I do love how this was started and ended though!
Please tell me you have Drydek and Big Black's Dude Wipes?

😂😂
Rob Durden didn't make the list. That's a shock.
Who did we miss?! Who would you sell out to if you were a big name in skateboarding?
FUN FACT: Levi got a pie shop's logo tattooed on him to get FREE pies for life... we all have our price!
The true #1 Rob Dyrdek. The one who envisioned a a way to make street skateboarding digestible for ESPN types which has paved way for the Olympics and the 'legitimizing' of the 'sport'. He not only sold out his own ass, but skateboarding in general. Real piece of work. (btw cliff bars are legit, and I'd take a years supply in a heartbeat)
Dylan Reider???
Corey Duffel??
EVERY Skater on THPS/SKATE/GRIND SESSION/THRASHER/????
I'd probably sell out to whole foods or other big name grocery store. That's huge savings on groceries on my part.
@@johnmcduggle4032 Who did Dylan sell out for?
@@SuperM3L0 I'd sell out to Whole Foods in a heartbeat!
Sheckler even did an episode of scooby doo in 2004 called The San Franpsycho lol I loved it as a kid
0:26.. NO WAY!! I'm literally fingerboarding while watching this. wish y'all sent me some stickers with my order so I could rep Shredz on a deck or my park 😂💯
Levi you'd take that cash so quick 😅
Dylan rieder was hate those guys😂 he was down earth style i've ever seen, no logo t-shirt something like that
*Rob Dyrdek sitting in the corner*
Idk y we hate on getting corporate sponsors they pay our favorite skaters good money instead of them starving and working real jobs on top of being pro some of them are.dumb sponsors but they pay so just let it go
My grandpa used to take me to that park with the ledge @3:07!
i think people are misunderstanding what being a sell out is imo. being a sell out isnt having a big name sponsor of even rlly doing an ad.. its when you make more than enough and just selling ur image not ur ability. sure its linked, but if skating isnt part of what ur selling and it needs to be forced in as a prop (like all the stupid tony hawk subway ads) thats being a sell out. its when you do an ad to make money when youve already made it and have the resources...
To be fair, as a Canadian I wouldn’t drink most tap water in the USA lol a water sponsor down there would be lit
The double pits to chesty came about because people were overusing axe and there shirts would become very flammable. So they ran these ads to teach people the right amount to use
