"Bro! I work at Zumies" i like that even better lol!

That's where I am having some personal issues accepting if I became a poser or not. Today, working, being a Father and a Husband, and being in my mid 30s, I don't find much time to skate. The little skating I do is just grabbing my board and riding around the neighborhood for a while, hitting a few curbs, just letting off some steam. While I don't wear skate clothes all the time, I do have a lot of the reissued shirts, which I wear on a regular basis. In my head, I justify it by feeling that I "paid my dues". I have the X-rays and the surgery scars to prove the dedication I once held to skating....back when I would skate to school, from school, every waking hour after school...and ALL weekend long...for YEARS. But still....I'm not really a skater any more. I simply don't have the time.

I remember hating...HATING posers back in the day. Brand new Airwalks or Vision SW with no tears and no make shift patch to cover the "ollie hole"...no sweat stains in the shirts, and if they owned a board, it was covered with rails and the graphic was in PERFECT condition. I hated those people. Yet here I am today, buying all the PP reissued shirts I can find. I guess even though I don't have the time to dedicate to skating...I'll always be a skater at heart.

i hear ya chris. im mid 30's as well. mortgage, girlfriend. kid. career.. bla blabla etc.... sux. wish i could skate everyday =( i set a dedicated time slot from 9am to noon every sunday at the local park. i usually never miss a session. its a nice outlet after 55 to 60 hours of brain damage mon -fri. good for the soul =)

we had that shirt (Fly Powell Peralta) a few years back and we discontinued it. ill add it to the product request sheet and turn it in. thanks

because skateboarding is the cool thing now and ppl want to look like they skate so they can get the opposite sex

those graphics are timeless. they do represent an era, a time that skateboarding entered the mainstream and changed the lives of a lot of people. to the people that were around for that, those graphics will take them back to that part of their life. its pretty awesome that a small piece of art can mean so much. today graphics are changed monthly so the meaning behind them is far less and memorable. im sure the Volcom stone has not had too big of a impact on most people lives to remember it forever. but then again i dont have any volcom clothes.

im a fan of volcom and the stone doesnt really do anything for me just the company name and graphics

yea the volcom stuff is super expensive

ill add your requests to the list. its hard to come out with new product often due to the fact we only change our catalog once or twice a year max. sorry if any product requests get denied or not accepted.

yeah the ones with the rat skeletons going down the leg. i had a pair of those.

need to compliment those sweats with a nice skull cap like this......
