Where did you live that thirteen year olds were tight lipped and respectful to adults on the street, let alone a skater? I was a skater, and talking shit back to adults was a requirement if you were to be accepted in the skater community. Adults were even worse about talking shit to skaters back then, these days half the adults were skaters or were friends with some, so it’s largely ignored or accepted now. Back then most of our peers talked shit to us skaters because they watched too much Family Ties and thought acting like Alex P Keaton would get them a better job at their dad’s investment firm.
