My brother is involved in skateboarding and he competes every weekend. He is actually very good and is pretty highly ranked. He told me that it is very important to choose the perfect shoe for this extreme sport. He really likes the DC Shoes the best and says that he does not want to wear any other type of shoe because these shoes have all of the features that he is looking for. I am going to buy him a new pair because I want to show him how much that I support him and all that he does. He is an awesome boy.
